Very cool noms.  I think ARRIVAL was the best script along with DEADPOOL (which 
didn't get nominated).  Amy Adams was robbed.
I LOVED THE LOBSTER and of Colin was robbed as well.
Happy about the other nominations otherwise.
Ryan Gosling is amazing in LA LA LAND.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] AA Nominations I agree.  "La La Land" is likely to win the 
big prize, and it was impressive when I saw it on the Cinerama Dome last month 
- but none of its original tunes have "classic" written all over 'em, such as 
you'd find in many Broadway or Disney animated musicals.  And I don't get its 
nom for best original screenplay.  To me the best written script was 
"Manchester by the Sea."
Looking over the selections - this is the first time in my LIFE - that I have 
seen all nine Best Pic nominees before TODAY.  Subjective rankings:
Likely favorites to win Best Picture:1. La La Land2. Moonlight3. Hidden 
Figures4. Manchester by the Sea5. Arrival6. Lion7. Hell or High Water8. 
Fences9. Hacksaw Ridge

The films I liked the most among the Best Picture noms:1. Manchester by the 
Sea2. Arrival3. La La Land
4. Hidden Figures5. Hacksaw Ridge6. Moonlight7. Hell or High Water8. Lion
9. Fences

Have to add that although constructed in a conventionally formulaic and 
self-aware way, "Hidden Figures" was for me the most crowd pleasing / enjoyable 
of all the movies nominated for Best Picture, followed by "La La Land."  
"Manchester" was the most depressing to many patrons - (but not to me) - yet 
it's gifted with some of the best writing and acting of the year, esp. Casey 
Affleck, who plays with a quiet self-hatred that's volcanic.  Watching it, I 
felt the air go out of the audience at the end, but to me, it's not a bad 
ending.  For me, NONE of the films nominated for the top prize this year are 
dogs.  They're all good.  (Although I wouldn't have minded to see Michael 
Keaton's evil portrayal in "The Founder" slip in there.)  And FWIW, if the Best 
Director noms remain an a signal of Best Picture odds - (in recent years they 
have not) - then the choices are limited to "La La Land," "Moonlight," 
"Arrival," "Manchester by the Sea" and "Hacksaw Ridge."  "Hacksaw," BTW, plays 
out like a sentimental William Wyler film with a lot of "Private Ryan" carnage; 
excellent craftsmanship but I thought Mel Gibson's pariah status in Hollywood 
would shut him out.  "Arrival" is slow but has a mind-bending, 
out-of-this-world payoff - and "Moonlight" is heartbreakingly vivid in its 
portrayal of bullying, gay self-identity and its relationship to the ethos of 
masculinity among young black men.  All good selections. - d.

 Subject: [MOPO] Adrian Cowdry, 1964-2016
   
Adrian 
Cowdry, 1964-2016 * I'm writing this to amplify the dimensions of a 
charismaticman we have all lost.  I never met Adrianin person.  But over two 
decades, we engagedin zillions of conversations that went well beyond his known 
affection for movieposters, World War II history, conservative U.K. politics, 
Harley Davidsonmotorcycles - and of course, all things James Bond. * Adrian was 
only 52 when he took his own life - and itappears that he engineered his death 
to coincide with his birthday, which wastwo days ago, on August 29.  He was 
apassionate thinker, going against the grain on many issues, peppering 
hiscommentaries with hilariously worded language. Standing at 6-5 - he was 
literally and figuratively a larger-than-life man. * We shared dark ideologies 
about the meaning of life, politicsand families.  (He leaves behind a wifeand 
three grown children.)  While I donot know how Adrian chose to end his life - 
nor the specific catalysts thatspurred him - our many exchanges included emails 
(which I've spent hoursre-reading today) - which suggest how death - whether by 
natural causes orotherwise - was regarded as a matter-of-fact subject for both 
of us - albeit fordifferent reasons. * (NOTE:  thefollowing is my opinion, not 
necessarily factual).  In my view, Adrian's feelings about suicide hadhardened 
during the past 10 years.  It isalso my view that he was NOT mentally ill, 
which is a reflexive diagnosis givenby others who react to this type of horror. 
I believe Adrian's views solidified as the result of at least three gigantic 
events:  1) getting cancer in2008 and joining the list of millions of 
"survivors" who go intoremission - but are forever haunted by its possible 
return; 2) the suicide ofhis terminally ill father in December 2013; and, 3) 
the death of his motherjust 36 hours later, by, in Adrian words, "a broken 
heart."  His parents had been married for 50 years.   * For all his joviality 
and cutting wit - Adrian was a seriousand practical man - who strived for 
perfection in everything he did.  Today, as I reflect on his great but 
shortlife, I am struck by the following passages, excerpted over several emails 
weexchanged in 2013 and 2014.  These areAdrian's own words: * "There is an 
argument for euthanasia and assistedsuicide. You would not allow a dog to 
suffer in this way. The arguments aboutplaying god are strong - but not as 
strong as (making sure that) your lovedones do not suffer..." * "Like you, I do 
not have any religious bent, I do notcondemn anyone their faith - but I cannot 
believe in an all seeing creator. Ido believe, however - that our bodies are 
not the be all and end all...I firmlybelieve that souls live on.  Whether 
theyremain to help loved ones - or to just keep an eye (on us) - I am not sure. 
 But I often feel the presence of folk from mypast who were close to me.  And I 
oftendream that I am conversing and perhaps even receiving messages from them, 
(suchas), "tell so and so not to worry about us, because all is well..."  This 
could be my subconscious speaking - forwhich I have no explanation - so I go 
with the flow and accept them for whatthey are - that they are dreams with 
possible messages." * "And like you I (sometimes) feel the presence ofsomeone 
(who has passed).  My great unclewas a master baker who taught me a lot about 
cooking.  He was from Yorkshire and he taught me how tomake Yorkshire puds by 
(a strict) rule of thumb.  And every time I make them, I remember how heused to 
say to me, "you're doing good, lad."  And as you say, I do remember 
facialexpressions and idiosyncrasies.  I'd liketo think (there is more to life) 
than just conception (and) death.  I do feel that the soul lives on." * "I 
often feel that folk gain comfort knowing theirloved ones are (always) around.  
Love issuch a strong emotion that keeps those who have passed - in one's mind.  
And in many ways - this keeps them (forever) alive(But) you would not allow 
a dog to suffer.  No human should go through this.  Your dad will be at peace 
when he passes andyou will remember the better times before this last phase of 
his life." * BTW, in the last excerpt - Adrian is referring to strugglesI had 
with my Dad, who passed away last year from Alzheimer's.  It is obvious, when I 
read Adrian's own hand- that he was a deep thinker, a philosopher, a man in 
touch with hisaccomplishments - as well as a man with a tactile sense of 
humanity, ofsuffering, of his own mortality, trying to gain full control and 
measure of hisown destiny - instead of being dragged behind it.   * Like 
everyone else, I grieve for him and will

Hey Mopo

my friend had a superb outcome and guess what.

MOPO helped!

someone here on MoPo  saw a dozen items listed on ebay and messaged my buddy 
Frank.

after a day or so, and not getting much help from the police, Frank called the 
ebay seller, who was getting some strange messages (I figure some other 
Mopolians and APF'ers may have been wondering about the stuff) and when Frank 
got him, he already had a feeling the material might be hot.

He said that a guy at a flea market consigned the material to him and that 
person had bought them 'out of the trunk of a car'
not always a signal by itself, but Frank gave the guy who bought them at the 
flea market $1000, got everything back and is a happy camper

he wanted thank Mopo

always great when there is a happy result!

someone gave the info to the thief. Sadly I'd look at friends or acquaintances. 
This person knew exactly what to target.

Re: [MOPO] Patty Duke 1946-2016

2016-03-29 Thread Toochis Morin
Wonderful story Sue!  She was such a wonderful actress and a lovely person.  
May she be in heavenly joy.

Just wanted to share some memories, though few, about Garry Shandling.  I had 
been assisting on a project that had several comedians interviewed for a 
mockumentary.  Garry was kind and funny in his awkward way.  His subtlety with 
his jokes and his physical comedy was amazing. I loved watching him work.  

My fondest memory was at an anniversary party where there was Scottish folk 
dancing.  All were encouraged to take part.  During the dance we had to switch 
partners and I ended up with Garry Shandling.  We were both awkward and he 
played it up so much that I was laughing my ass off.  Right before we had to 
switch partners again, he broke down laughing too.  We had so much fun and I 
got to see a glimpse of his warmth through his shyness.  He's making them laugh 
in heaven now.

"So sad; she/he wasn't that old"
I'm hearing that appended to more and more written tributes on MOPO and 
elsewhere.
None of us are "that old" untilwe are.
I toured the UK with Sam Andrew, guitarist for Big brother & the Holding Co., 
in 2014. We had a great time and a wonderful personal and musical rapport. We 
planned a two guitar tour and were making preparations for for it when he was 
struck down by a heart attack in January 2015. I think that's the first time I 
used the phrase "He wasn't that old" (he was 72).
The Reaper is like some white trash trailer park dwelling relative. When he 
shows up at the door, you don't want to let him in, but you have to because, in 
some macabre way,  he's kin.
Meantime, let us not dwell on our own mortality . Let us not spend our days 
ruminating on our own personal sell-by date. We know it's coming. Instead fill 
your days creating good and new things, finding ways to acquire that special 
poster, making ourselves and those we love happy, and honoring those great 
talents that brought us all into this wonderful little hobby.
Today's ear-worm for me is: "Patty adores a minuet, the Eiffel Tower, and 
Crepes Suzette, but Patty loves rock'n'roll, a hot dog makes her lose control, 
What a wild duet!" 
RIP.
Love those personal stories, Sue. Let's all keep 'em coming!

Re: [MOPO] What's your favourite Bowie Song and or film?

2016-01-12 Thread Toochis Morin
Wow. I never heard his duet with Bing Crosby. My babysitter used to listen to 
him so his beautiful voice was imbedded in my brain. 

I loved him in THE DARK CRYSTAL and that's what I most remember from my 
childhood of him.

Since we’re on the always hilarious subject of bone headed, knuckle-dragging,

After my asking him to remove from the frame prior to shipping,  he shipped in 
a single-ply,  already used box with no packing except one panel ONE PANEL of 
bubble wrap just laid on top which barely covered half the frame.  My guess is 
the glass shattered somewhere between his postoffice and the closest Guns for 
Christ Warehouse  whereupon shards of glass continued to scratch the surface

I received my '60 Psycho one sheet in the mail today. The sender used a bubble 
envelope and simply slid the poster into it. No cardboard, no plastic bag, 
nothing. Didn't  even write fragile on the envelope. He just folded up the 
poster and stuck it in an envelope.
Luckily it arrived un-damaged.

Re: [MOPO] WE HAVE SEEN THE WRITING ON THE WALL....

2015-02-26 Thread Toochis Morin
Think of the hacking of the future!  Sony is only the tip of the iceberg. Now a 
studio's movie campaign can be destroyed by hackers. 

Not sure how this plays out for collecting. I think when people stop going to 
movies then it'll be tough. 

I'd often said that I was collecting art because the art on many of these 
posters is second to none. Perhaps it will turn into the same as collecting  
advertising art. Those are fetching higher prices especially the French ones.

Re: [MOPO] Lizabeth Scott has died

About 5 years ago I sat waiting for my car at the repair shop and this very 
cool older woman emerged from her vintage convertible. 

I heard her talking and I told her I was a huge fan. She was shocked that I 
knew who she was. She continued to drive until six months before her passing. 
She was one cool lady.

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 movies. 

One question:  which movies have the assassination or killing of a contemporary 
living person in them?  What kind of controversy did they cause?

so... I receieved a  off the grid email from Rich. he said my emails 
tend to hijack others as i responded whenthey asked for a item to the 
group.. so ill stop as it appears my items are not what the group 
needs..and so unless you contact me youll never know what I have...  and 
. it seems to me its Time for me to leave the group.. because I see i 
dont fit in here and seem to have opposing ideas then most...I have 
argued about the minty whites as far back as the 90s and reproductions 
and honestly cannot relate to posters selling for over 1000 because I 
got into the business to serve all people of all income..although Ive 
also sold to every movie studio on the planet so I made some money  
maybe by accident I think because people assumed that was the answer..
well my prioritys are changing I know find it better to help others the 
to sell stuff .. have no idea how ill do it but if its meant to happen  
it will.. I personally believe the world and planet is out of balance
I dont have a clue whats next but somthings isnt right.
the oher day I stopped repping a clien after he did something that made 
me see what and whoI want to be,,, I had jus got him in a musem andmy 
neighbor who had a breast removed was ill in the hospial with 
infection..
her mother wanted to visit and she asked me to take her.. I did.. when I 
saw the man later and told him what I had done he looked with discust 
and said maybe they should write you a check... in other words he didnt 
care and see any purpose of me helping... I looked him straight in e eye 
and said we are done !! and I will never rep him for any amount of money 
as those people where worth more to me.not because they are rich as they 
are not and not for anything other then they where genuine kind people 
,, he was rich,, and had owned a huge company and thought money allowed 
him to treat people with low regard..well..maybe Ill die broke..but if 
people lke that are sucess I want to be the bigest failier in the 
world.. ..Out of respect for all people on MOPO I will unsubscribe 
myself I also may do same on facebook as I really need to change 
directions on many things..if anyone needs to talk call me. its that 
simple 419-474-3065/// best of luck to everone God bless

Re: [MOPO] What makes London After Midnight so valuable?

Perhaps the revolutionary make-up by Lon Chaney, his dual roles, and the early 
appearance of a vampire?  The graphics were sublime!
