I’ve been preparing my July catalog so my time on MOPO has been reduced. I think that many of the answers that you’ve read from some MOPO members here are indeed correct. Heritage made the decision to raise its minimum Buyer’s Premium on lots selling below $100 which, by the way, I argued against, but which the executive team believed necessary due to our expense structure. Frankly, to believe that we have little expense involved in selling these posters other than just “listing material” is a bit naïve. Heritage employs roughly 500 personnel in over ten cities with showrooms and overhead in the US, Europe and Asia. We have 30 web programmers and IT staff alone, along with accounting, photography, legal, marketing, etc. Saying this was done out of greed is again unfair; Heritage did it so that it could continue to offer lower priced lots singly rather than in bulk without losing money on them. Posters selling for less than $100 are limited in each weekly, but some of our buyers really appreciate being able to buy just the posters they want rather than having to buy groups. And I think nearly all of our consignors prefer to sell their posters either singly or in the smallest groups possible. Of course any consignors who prefer not having the $19 come into play with their lots can ask us to group-lot any posters we think might sell for less than $100, and we will happily do so.  The buyer’s premium, as stated well by David, is indeed prominently displayed whenever you wish to make a bid or to raise a bid. There is nothing deceptive nor mysterious about that, in my opinion, and as stated so well by Rich, it is the buyer’s choice to accept or not. I don’t believe I have more to say concerning this and for those who feel it is an undue increase or financial burden to them, I regret that, because I do care very much about my buyers (and consignors). But again, the bottom line is that it was the only way Heritage management could justify our continuing to offer posters valued under $100, without automatically auctioning them in bulk lots that would bring at least $100 hammer per lot.   From: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of filip de volderSent: Saturday, June 18, 2016 6:52 AMTo: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDUSubject: Re: [MOPO] Heritage charges exactely Tommy ,  it's like they're taking some insurance but it gets paid by the  buyer so if others bid besides you and it goes just over what heritage fixes then you'll be paying less then winning the poster just under that fixed line and getting taxed 19$ ?If Bruce can run auctions the way he does with everything starting at 1$  and continually keep his business growing then i think the only word here with this 19$ policy is greed , i guess heritage suffers from the ebay syndrome , keep on pushing to see how far it bends without snapping in your face  filip   Date: Fri, 17 Jun 2016 23:07:08 +0100From: tommymb...

Ah that quote of mine might seem as though it came out of nowhere, I meant to 
post to the list but only replied to Helmut..here it is in it’s entirety..

“Well said!

A healthy business is not all about money. I don’t resent rising prices, in 
fact I would say in lots of cases on the posters themselves, prices have 
fallen. My point being if, one place is seen to be the only place to be, then 
that’s bad and when they know it, it’s even worse.

I’ve noticed in the past some private dealers getting nice items on their sites 
and I’m damn sure they haven't been able to sell them at the price they want so 
they consign those items to Heritage..not good for small business.”

Unfortunately, that seems to be true. 

Too many people just LOVE to buy from the biggest players in the market. 
Needless to say it's often the same people who fail to support their 
neighborhood shops who are the first to whine when yet another small business 
closes down. 

Nobody can compete with the money Heritage can throw around, but PLEASE do not 
whine when the day comes that all small dealers have gone out of business. 

If you have any doubt about the true nature of the modern-day 'corporation', 
this 2003 documentary is highly recommended:

Yes I think Wim pointed out by what you wrote Ira..”dominant” by definition 
that means, control or power over others and when that happens a market becomes 
stale and unexciting, the business of collecting and dealing did seem all more 
exciting a few years back. 

It also seems to me that allot of people who had taken up collecting around the 
millennium mark are, dropping like flies out of the market place, selling up 
and moving on from it. I can only write what I have been told but, I have been 
asking. Heritage promises the world to it’s consignors and they expect to get 
it, it’s a possibility that people only trust them with it.

There’s your answer, coming into the market, flooding it with volume and 
eliminate the original expert dealers without needing the expertise. Then after 
that you raise your percentages. 
I have bought quite a few posters with Heritage and i do trust and value Grey 
as a straight business guy and a very knowledgable expert, but I always have 
niggles in the deal after the purchase. In those events I have had contact with

  I think you will see that through this move,   Heritage will eliminate people 
listing lower priced items. As a business if they can focus on higher 
ticket items there is a higher return per item.There is a fixed labor cost 
per item you list,  and as a business obviously you want to maximize your 
return per item.  

  I am not saying the increase on a min charge is right or wrong.  To me it is 
just a business decision.  I would say as a animation collector too,  I was 
very impressed with their recent animation auction.   They have quickly become 
the dominant auction house for animation art.   

  I am curious to the last statement about how the Film Poster Business has 
lost a lot because of Heritage and their patrons. I am a collector and not 
a dealer.How has Heritage hurt the business?   Is that a overall Dealer 
perspective?   

  I would also agree with the other statement that there are lots of other 
venues and in a free trade society,  if something gets out of whack, there will 
always be something new to balance it.

I saw Billy Connolly live four weeks ago - this is about the eighth time for me - Connolly is a comic god - his genius is that he is all about observation.

Connolly has Parkinsons disease and also has had prostate cancer - both diagnosis on the same day - and yet he made us laugh about it.

Paul Ruebens is unfunny he cannot compare to the likes of the Pythons, Ronnie Barker, Billy Connolly, Lee Evans all Brits or Chevy Chase, Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi, Steve Martin and the like all of the same era as Pee Wee. Pee Wee's great adventure was an embarresment...I
 saw it first time around in the US and all I saw was a creepy little guy taking cinema goers money. And now he is making some sort of come back -


- it all comes down to a matter of taste - I predict his new film will do no business in Europe.


Steve Carrel has to be one of the latest great talents on cinema screens and transcends international humour - he is a comic who deeserves his plaudits. We can all pick out favourites...Pee Wee is way down on the scale and is so unfunny...

Believe me we have some who are just as bad in the UK - Frank Skinner for example - another one who thinks he is funny and possibly the worst is Russell Brand - he's about as funny as a fart in a space suit!

Back in the late 1970â€™s I apprenticed the troupe and was a manager for the Groundlings Theater in LA on Friday nights.





Paul Reubens initiated a new character - a naive kid who just got off the bus - who in the storyline eventually evolved into a comic.

All of LA was mythic and eye-opening to this character and he had a way of making you see the fairy tale of it all through his eyes.




This was the first appearance of Pee-Wee and on successive Friday nights he would appear and hone the character - change things here or there - draw in the audience more and more - Until he finally put together Pee-Weeâ€™s Playhouse - the stage production - with
 other members of the Groundlings group - truly brilliant comic talents.




The movies were fun, I thought -

But, all I can say is that in person in those early days and through the development of Pee-Weeâ€™s stage show -

I have seen few things funnier or laughed at fewer things harder that I did that show.




Rubens would come out tossing candy to everyone, dancing on his tip toes, engaging the audience.

I donâ€™t know what it was - but he definitely tapped something both mythic and absurd - a wonderful and unusual combination.




Paul was always a very kind and gentle person, even quiet, and it was a shame he hit the Hollywood Babylon skids as he did.

We all have our feet of clay -

But in the old days - when it was fresh and never seen before - his act was nothing short of scream out loud riotous - you literally couldnâ€™t get the air out of your lungs fast enough.




Jeez, Iâ€™d love to see something that funny once again!

Tommy,

can I ask you something you mention business practice at the end of your post. 
Is this something that you think only applies to other people or do you think 
your business practices are exempt from scrutiny and public discussion? Just I 
find it a bit rich coming from yourself after having my one and only dealing 
with you, no abuse intended but I was waiting for you to produce the big 
smoking gun or did you want everybody else to do it for you before you had your 
say.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] HA shipping costs

Since March 2012, I have bought a total of 182 items from HA, ranging in price 
from $16 to $621. They have obviously posted many packages to me in that time, 
and mostly without any complaint on my part about shipping costs. Recently, 
however, I have had cause to question the cost. The last shipment I received 
was initially invoiced to me at $147.06, which I queried. I was informed that 
HA had charged me at Fedex retail rate and not their discounted rate, so the 
invoice was reduced to $103.25. Even so, that was expensive for a small box of  
folded posters, especially considering that the  previous charge from HA was 
for 3 packages sent together containing a mixture of rolled and folded  
(approx. 11 folded, 3 rolled including 1 linenbacked, 3 lobby cards) for which 
I was charged the not entirely unreasonable amount of  $122.75. I asked that 
they quote me for shipping before sending any future packages, and I received a 
quote (comparing like for like) of $221.97. That was for 13 folded and 1 rolled 
(linenbacked) poster, similar to that previous shipment in size but almost $100 
more. I asked for a breakdown of the cost on 20th June but received no reply 
until yesterday, when I was sent exactly the same quote with no reference to my 
query. (As a matter of interest, the value of the posters in question is just 
over $1,000 so not, as Simon deemed to suggest, cheap purchases.) I buy from 
several other U.S. dealers and have found their postage costs to be reasonable, 
and certainly never as expensive as Heritage. I have been willing to pay their 
shipping charges, however, as obviously they have an attractive offer, in the 
same way most people are prepared to pay their buyers’ premium even though 
other online poster auctions don’t have one. In this instance, though,  I find 
it totally unacceptable, which is why I have asked other MOPO members if they 
have had similar experiences. Why some have a problem with that I fail to 
understand. If MOPO exists to allow collectors to discuss matters of importance 
to members (and they don't all live in USA) and not simply for advertising 
sales, then surely the business practices of one of the hobby’s biggest players 
is a matter for discussion?

purchase, with buyer's premium you're at roughly $25, add $40 for shipping and 
19% import tax, you end up paying $77 for what started out as a $10 poster.

He has what he perceives to be a genuine grievance, yet others with apparently no direct experience of the issue in hand seem very willing to accuse him of bellyaching unjustly about shipping costs, which might prevent others with similar problems from contributing.  I have noted during my relatively short time as a MOPO member that there is a tendency to revere Heritage in general and Grey Smith in particular. The latter certainly seems to have friends and allies on the site. I do not know Mr Smith apart from exchanging some emails, but he is the director of a very influential and successful auction house, so deserves some respect. That does not, however, exempt Heritage from criticism, and I think international shipping is one area where there is, to say the least, some confusion. As I said, more on that later, but in the meantime all I ask is that the matter is allowed to be aired fairly and without prejudice.TommyOn Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 10:58 PM, Michael Greenwood  wrote:

Just had an email back from Greg Edwards in the UK (Rare Film
Posters), who I asked after a suggestion from John Reid and Vesna
(from the thread on Vintage
  Movie Posters Forum) - I told him the queries and pointed him
to the MoPo thread.

He kindly proved an answer very quickly, and I quote:

"As the film was released in 1949 any original poster would have
  a 4 figure number in the bottom right corner which should start
  with a '9' and end in an 'A'.  If the poster is from 1950-51 it
  would have a 3 figure number but with no 'A'.  From some time in
  1952 onwards it would be a 4 figure number, also with no 'A'."

he also said:

"The artwork is identical to the British quad.  The British Film
  Institute have a copy which I have attached for you (unfortunately
  not big enough to check the numbering)."

I bet you are all rushing off to see what the BIDLL one says, I know
and...whoops, it's my dinner time.

Talk soon.

  Would they bother doing it for International RR? Especially with decent

  One print run for domestic version, one run for international. Whether done

  Hi David,

   

  This actually popped up in a previous thread several years ago: 
http://www.mail-archive.com/mopo-l%40listserv.american.edu/msg29685.html

  Like Rich Evans said, on face value the version with the A rating – which is 
clearly part of the design not an overstamp - is a domestic UK version (albeit 
very unusual for the 1940s!), and the Lion International one an international 
equivalent. I used to think post-war British one sheets were only intended for 
overseas use too, but there are other titles with BBFC ratings that seem to 
contradict this.

   

  Possibly helping to back up this argument, both have the same litho number 
B.L. 838, although with very slight differences in the artwork detail. (“B.L.” 
stands for production/distribution company British Lion which was absorbed by 
London Films in the mid-40s.)  Interestingly, on one poster the printer is 
credited as “STAFFORD & CO LTD NETHERFIELD NOTTINGHAM”, and on the other 
“STAFFORD & CO LTD NETHERFIELD NOTTINGHAM and London”. However, this is 
inconclusive, as both credits appear on British posters from that time. Maybe 
the additional London credit indicates which ones were printed for the London 
branch.

   

  The only slight question mark in my mind is whether Lion International 
existed in 1949/1950. Apart from IMDb, which may itself have been updated as a 
result of the poster, the earliest reference to the company I can find is 1955, 
although this of course doesn’t mean they didn’t exist before then. This is 
where a good collection of trade mags would come in useful!

During all the discussion about Cinevent’s troubles, it was mentioned that the 
Syracuse Cinefest was ending this year, it’s 35th event. I wasn’t aware that 
this was the last one. Doing a quick search,  I came across an interesting blog 
post from Martin Grams, a DVD seller and author who always attends Cinevent and 
other shows. It’s worth your time:

While I would never say I regret buying the Peeping Tom quad‎, it's still a great poster, I do however think I paid too much in hindsight. This was a poster that fetched £3000 pound at auction before the hoard turned up.To be honest though no regrets, big let downs seem more common. Remember getting the insert for Where Eagles Dare and thinking what a piece of crap printing, quality was awful, sold it off straight away for a profit of course.Simon  Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

  all of these forums ebb & flow
  in movie posters it's expected because the hobby is so small
  and none of
  the groups ever had more than a few hundred members
  
  contrast this with the CGC comics forums which has 50,000
  members but the
  hobby numbers hundreds of thousands or maybe a couple million
  
  the same people can only say the same things so many times

I think it still amounts to giving in to a terrorist threat.  Also Japan economically is not in a good place, I would think that has allot to do with the decision to pull the film as well but I think if Sony had gone ahead with showing the film it would shown the world that they are a strong nation. Unfortunately this is not the case and is worrying.Simon  Sent from my BlackBerry 10 smartphone.

Hi, Toochis:

 

Death of a President (2006), about the
assassination of George W. Bush was controversial, though not as much as this
and it had only limited release anyway because it was not a major studio film.

 

One thing that never gets mentioned in
this controversy is that Sony is a Japanese company and thus much more sensitive
to pressure to North Korea
than a US corporation might
be, given the dark history that connects Japan
and Korea and of course
Japanâs physical proximity to North Korea.

I think the 9/11-type threats made it tough for the release. Also the
other studios were upset that audiences would be too afraid to go to the

contemporary living person in them?  What kind of controversy did they
cause?

Yep, that’s a quite a big sentiment in the UK. 

The Scots will get a more devolved parliament and that will mean less

The latest point of dissension concerns shipping to UK. Everyone else provides me with a quote; I accept by email; I pay; they ship. HA always had to have their International Shipping Instructions form signed with acceptable methods and scanned and emailed to them, which they then held on file.
My latest shipment, however, they tell me they cannot send because they require a new ISI form signed with just one shipping method accepted. If I decide to have a different method in future it will require a new ISI. Why? Can they not just accept an email as everyone else does? They have given me various reasons for this, none of them actually believable. The first was that this would 'ensure safe delivery', the latest being that the form is physically sent to the shipping department. Really? Are HA so lacking in technology that they have pieces of paper circulating between departments?
Furthermore, why do they insist that all orders over $250 paid by credit card or PayPal must be sent by Fedex or UPS? Most everyone else is happy to use the cheaper options of USPS, and I have just received a couple of shipments from Bruce using first class email which arrived swiftly and securely. Besides, how else would I pay?
This might not seem like a major inconvenience but as a point of principle I find it very annoying, mainly because it just seems to be a bit of bureaucracy for bureaucracy's sake. Their T&Cs simply state that, 'Successful international Bidders shall provide written shipping . . . to the Auctioneer for any lots to be delivered outside of the United States.' I would have thought that an email is a written instruction. Does anyone agree with me, or am I just being picky?

 Went to bed last night with the sad news of Robin Williams.

He gave so much joy and laughter throughout his career and deserved all the plaudits because his mind was so active and sharp that he left his contemporaries in the shadows.

He had his battles with demons many of us will not understand. Alas those demons won. His humor will remain on record but he shall be sorely missed.

RIP Robin Williams a comedy giant.

We are going to eliminate the
"text" mode from our Auction History and Auction Galleries unless we
hear from enough people who use it!
 Our Auction
History and Auction
Galleries have contained 3 ways to view results (Grid, List,
Text), and the first two included images but the last one did not. Some of you
have told us that you are "stuck" in text view, and it occurs to us
that we don't think anyone uses that text view, so we are thinking of removing
it. We are giving you one week to tell us whether you want it kept or not. If no
one (or only a few people) tells us they want it to stay, then we will soon
remove the text view so that you will then only be viewing Auction History
results in a Grid layout or a List layout, BOTH
with images. 

The
only reason we ever had the "text view" was back from the day (years
ago) when we had our images in a separate database from our results, and when
we combined the two databases we kept the "text view" because a few
people were still on "dial up modems" and they could not handle pages
with lots of images. But that is ancient history now, so unless we find some
reason we missed, this "text view" will be gone in one week!

The Italian movie poster artists used to put a lot of "themselves" into their artworks. Their interpretations, according to each one's different style, made the difference in terms of emotional transport (the one you could feel looking at, let's say, The Lady from Shanghai by Ballester or The Enforcer by Martinati). Brini, Martinati, Capitani, Ballester, Geleng, Nano, Simeoni etc. were real painters borrowed by the Entertainment's Industry. 
In the last few years I've been selling more and more to American collectors and dealers but, still, the Italian posters are not for everyone. In Columbus, this year, I've made some sales and trades but most of the dealers (many on here too) used to tell me: "Sorry, I love these artworks, but I have no market for them". Basically, one of the major obstacles has been correctly pointed out by David: the size. In order to display Italian paper you need to have a lot of wall space, and that's a fact. Another problem, for some US buyers is the different title: even in front of a masterpiece like Ballester's 4sh for Stage Couch, someone gets discouraged by the fact that the big title of the poster is Ombre Rosse, something they can't immediately connect to. Finally, the prices: the Italian good posters are very expensive. And the reason is, just like Adrian underlined, most of the time they are way more nice than the country of origin's paper. One example for all: the Bogart's posters. Key Largo American 1sh is a 2000-3000$ poster. The Italian 4sh by Martinati (L'isola di corallo), even if you can find it, worths 3 times more. Why? Try to compare them: 
http://www.movieposterdb.com/poster/5c8ea4fd    and   http://www.movieposterdb.com/poster/0ba2fe9c
But still, we are talking about a 200x140 cm poster: beautiful, but very hard to display. Finally I want to take this opportunity to tell you guys about a project I've been working on since 5 years: a series of books (10) dealing with the History of Exploitation Cinema (I'm a movie critic after all...) through the Italian posters. From the half of the 60's till half of the 80's I collected more than 3500 posters, that will illustrate the history of the commercial cinema in 10 books, each one dedicated by a sub-genre. My aim is to show to most of the the people (collectors, dealers, general audience...) that the italian poster Art did not end with the Classic Golden Age that I mentioned above. 
First Book will come soon: Nazi-Exploitation Cinema. Will keep you guys posted.ThanksPaolo
2013/12/26 David Kusumoto 



I agree with you, Adrian, completely!  There was a time I was even more snobby and close-minded than some people already regard me - a time when I only stared at country-of-origin posters in line with my tendency to chase "first issue of publication or first printing or true first edition books."  My "metamorphosis" so to speak - came gradually - first it was my frustration with bootleg Star Wars posters in the 1990s and I swore off of them completely, everything from one-sheets to inserts, with only the half-sheet, three-sheet and six-sheets unscathed.  So I moved toward Australian daybills because the art was sometimes equal if not better than the country-of-origin issues, particularly titles from 30-40 years plus old.  I loved their portability did a complete "180" on them regardless of country-of-origin status and bought several from dealers like John Reid.

Just have to say, I thought The Professionals opening credits with the car

At my school you were either a Professsionals or a Starsky and Hutch lad. I

Subject: [MOPO] Lewis Collins RIP

Granted Martin Shaw was the better classically trained and overall better
actor between the two. Had Collins been given the chance at Bond he would
have fit quite well straight after Moore due to his comic timing and true to
life action ability - doing his own stunts and SAS training and acceptance.
Furthermore, the womanising aspect that he cultivated in the Professionals
fits in nicely with the character of Bond. He would of got my Vote as Bond
instead of Moore doing A View To a Kill looking like a Grandad.

 

Yes, the Italian action films he made were not the best and did not do his
career any good but as Michael Caine has said in his books, the role of an
actor is simple, "stay employed". Caine said of JAWS The Revenge, If someone
is going to pay you 50,000 to spend a week in the Bahamas all expenses paid,
you would be made not to do it. Collins next big piece of success in my
opinion was his excellent supporting role to Caine in the TV mini Series
"Jack The Ripper" that won Caine a Golden Globe.

 

Collins did only spasmodic acting post his Ripper days (maybe he suffered
from type casting) which is a shame as I believe he had depth beyond been an
action man. He moved to LA where he took a course in being a Director (which
he completed) with the view of getting behind the camera and finding work in
America but like so many others this proved problematic. The computer
industry was growing and Collins had an eye for it and before long he had
his own business and was very successful at it.  They remade "The
Professionals" in 1999 but unsuccessfully as we all know. Collins was
approached to play a Gordon Jackson type role as head of 'CI5' however prior
to release but negotiations broke down and Edward Woodward stepped in and
the series only lasted 13 episodes. Collins as the record looks now, left
acting at the doorstep by 2002 with a stint on the long running British
crime drama "The Bill". Fitting really that he gained worldwide fame on a
British crime TV show and his last performance was on another worldwide
British crime TV show.

 

Personally, I had always hoped he would return to the screen big or small.

 

He was a part of my Saturday nights as a teenager as one half of the
professionals and given the chance could have been so much more later on!

Re: [MOPO] Lewis Collins RIP

2013-11-28 Thread Simon Oram

I do find it amazing though how he never pushed on from The Professionals, he 
had the rugged charm that goes down well in Hollywood, maybe he should of made 
the jump to the US straight after the P’s but very sad to see him go this way, 
he made quite an impact on me as a youngster watching the Professionals and I 
thought he was the the coolest of the two by far, he was the character who 
seemed to have the stronger link to the boss played by Gordon Jackson.

Ah yes, Bond's character development, Roger Moore cast a long shadow.

Collins deemed "too aggressive" apparently. Seems quite bizarre as one that 
considers Connery's Bond V Red Grant as about the peak of it.

agency in the UK.

  Many people touted Lewis Collins as the next James Bond, Roger Moore was 
coming to the age of double 0 retirement and a new actor was being sought. 

  Collins emulated Sean Connery and George Lazenby by making assertive demands 
in the presence of Albert R. Broccoli. Those days had passed and it is felt 
that Collins dashed his chances of being James Bond. He did go on to make Who 
Dares Wins, a film inspired by the Iranian Embassy siege.In Who Dares Wins 
Collins showed his lack of depth for character development and it was probably 
wise that he was not picked as 007.

  Unfortunately Collins went on to make a series of second rate actioners and 
never really elevated his career, although he did team up with Michael Caine in 
a made for TV drama - Jack the Ripper. 

  Collins was a British Icon from the days of The Professionals and will be 
sadly missed. He had a charisma that circumvented his lack of depth within the 
field of acting.

The Francis Bacon exhibition in Berlin in 1986 (I think) was the most

Re: [MOPO] Auction prices

2013-11-01 Thread Simon Oram

 I agree with Bruce here. 

Also with any field of collectability whether it is posters, toys, glassware or 
antiques there is a vast amount of stuff that sells for very little. Maybe it's 
just that there was a mad spike in the film poster market a few years back that 
many still remember well and are still comparing prices to.

 It was after all a new thing to allot of people and allot of them never really 
realised that they could buy original film posters until a few, very clever and 
imaginative people managed to make them very desirable to a worldwide market.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Auction prices

I completely disagree with this theory. Items from good movies have been
rising, because more and more people are finally getting to see those
movies, thanks to all the ways there are to see them. In the 1960s I sought
out most of the early James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart movies (those lesser
known ones from the 1930s and 1940s) and it took a ton of money, effort,
and traveling! Now you can see just about every one of those at home on
your TV or computer any time you want.

What IS going down in price is items from not very good movies. Just like
with crappy posters, there were many hundreds of crappy movies made in the
1930s and 1940s and 1950s (and on to the present day) and few people will
buy anything from any of them, UNLESS they happen to have great art.

There are also niche markets (like The Three Stooges) that are driven by a
tiny number of collectors. If something happens to those collectors, that
branch of the hobby takes a nosedive.

Good items (from any era) are doing fine. Ones that are super-rare are
doing incredibly. Ones that are common are not doing so well. Ones that are
from bad movies, with bad art and where there are tons of them are not
selling at all, and that would be no different if I went out of the auction
business tomorrow.

Re: [MOPO] Why are there no million dollar movie posters?

2013-10-12 Thread Simon Oram

I think it won't be long now. I don't think some of the US paper that goes for 
big bucks on the back of being memorabilia helps the image of the film posters 
at all when it comes to wanting to entice new people into the fray.

I do believe that some film posters could be easily offered in a fine art sale, 
especially some of the early German stuff with Art Deco influence and some of 
the darker expressionistic stuff as well.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] Why are there no million dollar movie posters?

Yes, advantage of accessibility and longer traditions so they've built up a 
greater head of steam. Can't see too many reasons why film posters shouldn't 
catch up. There was zero awareness, hugely increased now, just don't think the 
adverse publicity is going to help, especially when it comes to investing 
substantial sums of money. (Besides, beginning to find these scandals very 
tiresome, and like whining about it.)

Stamp collecting is the other one. We've had 150 years of being accustomed to 
the idea, and gradual rises in value, so if we hear of a stamp selling for a 
couple of million, the reaction will probably be to just yawn. Give it a little 
consideration and it seems absolutely insane. Just postal history and 
remarkable rarity on a couple of square cms of badly printed paper.

Really don't understand the appeal of collecting coins and stamps or what type 
of people would collect them. Think vast majority of people would feel the 
same, and that movie posters have an infinitely broader appeal, presumably it 
is just a matter of it becoming more established.

The book by du Maurier was pushing the idea that the Second World War had upset 
the natural order of the environment so much so that nature through the birds 
where striking back at the humankind for revenge. 

The love birds caged - fairly symbolic and self explanatory, it’s how we like 
to view nature, controlled and passive.

Don’t think he did personally but did he have to? The rebellion at the farm of 
chickens who wouldn’t eat the seed would be indication of the birds not wanting 
to conform, just like a hunger strike. I think it’s all there in the film.

Re: [MOPO] Eraserhead US poster question

2013-08-20 Thread Simon Oram

It used to be known as Lynch Posters. I think the site is down. It had a photo 
of what the site owner thought was a bona-fide original. The photo was of an 
Eraserhead poster in a glass cabinet at auction. It had the thinner style 
lettering and was rolled. It did not have faux fold lines which I see this one 
posted by Stanley has. I believe that's some sort of repro, if you look at 
Nance's lip you can see this poster is taken from a poster that was folded and 
been reproduced.

there is a website devoted to the Eraserhead poster releases, but I 
did a search and couldn't find it easily

maybe you can spend your lunch hour trying. it's out there somewhere 
and showed a checklist of the posters in chronological order

maybe someone else here knows the url

US International 1 sheets, Premiere's and B styles can have some very 
imaginative art, posters that spring to mind are: Billy Jack; Get Carter 
(Hammersveld);Way Out (1967) and the Otnes' poster for A Fistful of Dollars.
Some very nice US 1 Sheets with artistic license: No Way Out; Fargo; Naked 
Lunch and Sullivan's Travels the one sheet that has Lake's face done in brush 
strokes by art director Mauric Kallis was so ahead of it's time.

My impression is that generally speaking French poster art tended to be more 
creative/looser.

Good examples that spring to mind are Les Diaboliques and Lift To The Scaffold. 
Think it rarer in US posters that you get something similarly more abstract or 
impressionistic like the On The Beach style B.

Also Bass' work obviously, but not exactly popular with the studios.

Also benefit from choosing to stick with stone litho far longer, when using 
offset was an option long available, and used alongside stone litho.

Not sure exactly what the reasons were for this, perhaps scale of USA made a 
greater case for offset. 

French printers perhaps didn't invest in upgrading the presses.

But imagine that if literal (photographically accurate) likenesses were more of 
a priority in France, stone litho would have died out earlier.

May be wrong, but that's my impression.

Though the French weren't as far out there as the Poles.

2013-06-13 Thread Simon Oram

With the Leveque poster of Wages of Fear, if you know your French cinema the 
artists rendition of Charles Vanel is so unmistakably him and the expression on 
his face reminds me so much of that awful moment.

Just like Ballester’s renditions of the faces of Brando in On the Waterfront 
and Ford’s in The Big Heat posters they may not be perfect but they capture the 
essence of the character in this case Brando’s anger and defiance at the 
violent Union mob and Ford’s face of seething broodiness, when I look at that 
poster he just looks like he’s ready to explode with vengeance. Damn good job 
on Marvin in the background as well.

I like the French grande for Le Mepris but for a cracking Bardot image my 
firm favourite is the German A0 for La Verite:

Anselmo Ballester is renowned for getting the stars wrong (who really cares) 
but I think he was spot on with Brando and On the Waterfront and Glenn Ford 
and his poster for The Big Heat:

Marilyn's posters - across here entire filmography - often to do not look

not look like

Veronica Lake.  Some Blonde is pictured.

So here's a question for the list - excepting photographs - which 
illustrations on film posters really get the image of a star -

doesn't matter which one - REALLY right?

I point to the Roger Souble portrait of Veronica Lake.  There is art that 
really captures the look and the essence of the star's appeal.

Re: [MOPO] Have you ever seen a BULLITT 24sh billboard?

2013-06-04 Thread Simon Oram

Yes I tend to agree with that, although it's anyone's guess  what' s actually 
out there. I do think mostly down to the idiosyncratic nature of the British 
makeup that there is more to come on Hitchcock paper pre-war; hoarders, rich 
aristocrats with mansions full of stuff they know nothing about, the amount of 
old buildings in this country unused is frightening.

 I'm sure if someone was to start tearing down walls lifting up floor boards 
and going up into lofts they would start to find goodies. Old buildings in this 
country  have had dropped ceilings on the for decades.

 There's one building I've been trying to get into for years based on it's 
history and the way the refurb was done. I'll let you know when I unearth that 
London After Midnight quad.

It's fun to make a pronoucement that there is NO SURVIVING COPY of something or 
other, but time and experience have proved 99.9% of these pronouncements 
incorrect.  No KNOWN copies perhaps.
But it is a very big world, and a big industry and there are lots of places for

Last night I watched a DVD of the
Ronald Neame film, THE MAN WHO NEVER WAS (1956).  There
is a scene in the film where two cars are en route to a
destination.  In one of the shots, in the background,
there is a billboard for HITLER'S CHILDREN.  I couldn't
make out much of the art on the poster, but the title
was clearly evident.  These kinds of contextual
juxtapositions are common in movies today, but in this film
that poster - it looks to be a British six sheet - could
just
as easily  have been any 1942 film.  Why HITLER'S
CHILDREN?  I can't help but believe there was a kind of
knowingness in that choice.  For those of you who have
not
seen the movie, it concerns an effort to deceive the German
military as to the true location of Allied invasion of
Europe.

What do you remember about movie posters in films?
When are they just props and when do they comment on
something?  Incidentally, the DVD from Netflix
was a quite respectable transfer of a CinemaScope
picture.  Not Blu-Ray, though.

PayPal refused to pay me the money, because it was a "suspicious" transaction!


I explained that he was not financing another Bay of Pigs, or contributing to

Re: [MOPO] help please - METROPOLIS STILL

It says on the still Wardour presents this could refer to Wardour Street which 
was the centre for British film production at the start of the 20th century so 
time is right as well for an original - so a UK still seems about right.

Re: [MOPO] Questions for those of you who REALLY know your movies

2013-03-03 Thread Simon Oram

Nicholas Ray has a very good record of hits against misses (and he was forced 
to make allot of them), just under thirty films I’d put at least half of them 
as top drawer an amazing oeuvre.

Subject: [MOPO] Questions for those of you who REALLY know your movies

In baseball, percentage is everything. A batter who gets a hit one out four 
times for an entire season is barely hanging on, while one who gets a hit one 
out of three times is a major star, and there has never been a player who gets 
a hit once every two times! Likewise, a team that wins four out of ten games is 
usually in last place, while a team that wins six out of ten teams is usually 
in first place!

So my question is, which MOVIE DIRECTORS (among the superstars) have the 
greatest percentage of "winners vs losers"? And which ones have the greatest 
percentage of "home runs"? And which ones (among the superstars) have the 
highest percentage of "strike outs"?

Now of course it HAS to be a percentage game, because some directors did 20 
movies and some did 100. If the person with 20 has two losers, then the guy 
with 100 is entitled to ten (by my way of thinking!).

Answers?

Time flies when you’re having fun…MoPo turns 18 today!

On February 24, 1995 the first MoPo post was distributed via American 
University’s listserv. I’m truly amazed (and very thankful) that American U 
keeps their listserv up and running, after all, listservs are SO last century! 
It may be a dinosaur, but it still serves us well.

In keeping with my annual tradition, I’d like to recognize the 11 original 
MoPo’ers:

Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan 
Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, myself (your 
humble listowner) and AOL’er Static555 (real name is Jeff Static). I finally 
stumbled upon his true identity. Michael, Rob and Evan are still members.

Subject: [MOPO] OMFG: International shipping costs have shot through the roof!!

Holy Schmoley Folks I just returned from the post office doing 
the weekly International shipping, and I am absolutely flabbergasted.

I'm right now doing recalculations of what shipping was 3 weeks ago & 
what shipping is now, but it looks like shipping to Canada has more 
than doubled, Shipping to Australia is up 40+% and shipping to the UK 
is up also about 40+%

New size restrictions are in, so the 36" long tube I had going to the 
UK as Air Mail under 3lbs can now only be shipped by Priority Mail. 
Same thing with the 36" tube going to Lebanon (fortunately, we can 
cut the tubes down a couple inches and repackage these 2 orders).

Unfortunately, what that means is that I also have to raise my rates 
and while previous rate increases were along the order of $1 or $2, 
this rate increase is going to startle all of you. A simple 2lb 
package going to Canada, which I have been charging $11.00 for 
shipping, will be $19.00 (our rates, just as with all sellers, 
includes approx $3.00 for shipping materials and labor).

It looks like Australia and Europe will be increasing to $27.00 from 
$20.00 for just the basic orders

These new rates make it all the more important to be able to merge 
several week's worth of auctions into one package for International 
bidders, which our International buyers have known we do all along. 
It's more important now..

I can't imagine what this does to the casual seller on fleaBay who 
sells a few posters here and there.

Does anyone use Carrier Pigeons??

Yes, very similar, and both acquired tastes. 
Not sure whether it was just case comedy generally moving in the same direction 
and both feeding off similar influences.
Though Dean Martin being influenced by Mr Grimsdale is an appealing thought.

  If I had to choose between Danny Kaye, Jerry Lewis and now Mickey 
Rooney then it is still hands down Danny Kaye. Besides being nominated for X 
amount of Golden Globe awards throughout his career and wining a few along the 
way for his musicals and comedies, he also was nominated for a golden globe for 
the excellent drama "Skokie" in 1982 proving he was more than just a song and 
dance man and also a great comedian. Very few actors could be so good in 3

Re: [MOPO] 15 Minutes of Danny Kaye is enough for a lifetime.

2013-01-20 Thread Simon Oram

Yep Court Jester is funny, as for Mickey Rooney: Baby Face Nelson - now that's 
a great gangster flick.

Happy memories really. Loved him when I was a child, remember Hans Christian 
Anderson, (think we had the soundtrack), and The Court Jester.
Bit of a shock to learn years later that he and Lord Larry Olivier played the 
pellet with the poison in the vessel with the pestle.

Re: [MOPO] Keep Calm and Hire A Good Solicitor...

2013-01-04 Thread Simon Oram

Recently someone just found a roll of these posters and took them onto Antiques 
Roadshow, some of them looked as near to perfect as I have ever seen a poster 
from that time period. Total found I think was approx twenty.

Subject: [MOPO] Keep Calm and Hire A Good Solicitor...

Interesting story about the famous "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster found by
a couple of book store owners.

Since they discovered it, years ago, at the bottom of a box of musty books,
it has become a modern British icon.

And, like a lot of icons, it has been something of a cash cow.

Here's the story about the legal fight over the ownership of this simple
slogan and image:

I would't say either were the worst, some of the silents are very tedious but 
Topaz is the worst I have seen and equally one of the worst Cold War films made.

when you have bids but the bidders who bid they never pay their bill
dead-beats
it's so annoying that you're constantly toying with their email still
dead-beats
This time it's Kevin Minton and a guy who's name is Hilton
whenever it is unpaid you know your sale is wilting
what can you do?
ban them from bid-ding on your site
and expose them to others, you what is right
they are DE-AD-BEATS
Hilton and Minton are

Is there a conflict of interest when the leading grading company purchases
a leading restoration company? Wouldn't they have incentive to grade the
items restored by their own restoration company higher than those restored
by any other restoration company, and wouldn't a collector know this and
likely then choose their grading company so they could get a higher grade
once it is restored?
