[MOPO] classic movie question (sort-a OT)
I'm doing a bit of research, I'm looking for use of the word slob in classic films- so its really OT unless the term is used on a poster - two that I have are Bogart to March in Desperate Hours Smart Eyed slobs Tracey to Kelly in Inherit the Wind You poor slob, you're all alone I know its an odd request, but I'm a fairly odd fellow :-) thanks Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
Re: [MOPO] What WERE the best film biographies of popular singers?
One of my favorites for pop music content (Jolson Story is still my over-all) seemed to go out of its way to get not one single fact right - but no film captured the feel for the early rock and roll music scene than did American Hot Wax. Having Chuck Berry, Sreamin' Jay Hawkins, Jerry Lee Lewis and Fankie Ford in it, didn't hurt. Most references list it as a bio pic of Alan Freed - but it really only coved about 5 days in his life - it was more a bio-pic of the 50's music industry in the US Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
Re: [MOPO] Metropolis 2010 Restoration
if memory serves - this complete version was send out to potential distributors, each of whom would cut it for their market - not an uncommon practice, and it explains why there are so many different versions of so many films. In the US the studio usually owned the releasing company so his didn't happen, but every time a film was re-issued, it was snipped a bit - then when sound came in - some amazing things happened. note the sad history of Phantom Of The Opera. Also, when US films were released in the UK - titles were changed, (Hallelujah I'm A Bum), Musical numbers were cut (Singing Fool), and some scenes were omitted - the same thing happened here with UK imports. There is an examination scene in the Vivian Leigh Anna Karenena that is not in the US print, and a 8 minute segment that is only in the US version. When they found an original release print of All Quiet on the Western Front - it was released in the US as 'restored'. - no one bothered to check that there was a 2 minute scene (showing only a phonograph) that was cut from the UK prints. And the list goes on. many films were trimmed BEFORE their original (general) release, and the footage is gone - except for snippets that appear in the trailers (Lon Chaney fighting a bear in the Wolfman for example) - and then there were restorations done for Laser Disc, that have not been carried over to the DVD release (1776 The Alamo come to mind). It will be nice to see Metropolis in this form - its the way Lang envisioned the film - even though it was never released this way.

Re: [MOPO] My question to 300+ of you: Why are you a lurker on MoPo?
I don't, as a rule, have much of value to contribute to discussions on posters, at least not with dealers or hard core collectors. I collect 16mm films, and will buy some advertising art to display for each of the films in my collection. I don't have the wall space for more than a couple of 1 sheets, but I do like title cards, and have quite a few of them scattered about. I find some of the debates fun to read, but there are so many strong opinions, and many of them ill-informed - that offering some commentary would just not be productive. Also - my personal tastes are not in line with the apparent collective thinking of the group. I think a graphically beautiful insert from a 1937 Monogram picture has greater value that a pristine one sheet from Breakfast at Tiffany's. Also, I place no value on posters from films made in the last 30 - 40 years, probably because, for the most part, I place no value on the movies made during that time period. I can't watch bad movies, there just isn't enough time - I don't think Ed Wood produced enjoyable films - just bad ones - and I haven't seen all the good movies out there yet, so why waste my time. Also I generally shun movies (and pop culture) that achieved the highest accolades from the general public. for example - movies I just don't like include: 2001, My Fair Lady, Lawrence of Arabia, How the West was Won, Gone with the wind, Maltese Falcon (1941), Fantasia movies I think are under-rated include: John Wayne's Alamo (but ONLY the full version - preferably the Laser), All I Want For Christmas, Once Upon A Time, Port of Seven Seas. My Favorite films (and just cause I like 'em, does not mean I think they are great movies): Rhubarb, About Face, Inherit the Wind, A Matter of Life and Death, Maltese Falcon (1931), It Happened Tomorrow These are in no way comprehensive lists, but are offered to give some idea on how my tastes run, and how different they are from the conventional wisdom. Its the same with music - I could listen to Mario Lanza all day long - I find luciano pavarotti over blown. I prefer Norman Rockwell to Picasso, Rembrant to Van Gough and just about anybody to Keanu Reeves (the black hole of cinema). I believe Will Farrell is as funny as a cry for help, and Britney Spears is as entertaining as watching paint dry. so it goes now you see why I keep my mouth shut (metaphorically typing :-)?

[MOPO] Semi-OT: Why Kids Don't Collect Stuff Today
I think the money/value aspect has killed it for a lot of people - most collectors I know collect for many reasons - none of which have anything to do with the value of what they are collecting (if it does go up in value, its a plus, of course) - personally I couldn't be happier that my phonograph records have no $ value - it means I can enjoy them, listen to them, and never acquire one because I think its worth something (or will be). Did those who collected comic books in the 60's 70's do so because of their future value? but along comes 1989, direct sales and spot market speculation, and all of a sudden comics are the new collectable - and every issue a potential gold mine. A friend of mine passed away a few years back - and his family is still trying to understand how the 25,000 comic books in their basement have no value. Collecting is also about the joy of the hunt - a good deal of which died when Al Gore invented the world wide web. And I attribute a portion of this lack of interest in collecting to the tiny attention span of todays population - something that was deliberately pushed on us by the ad men and manufacturers - the more ephemeral product become, the sooner we discard them and buy a new one.

Re: [MOPO] (Posterbob)
hey - if this guy wants one of a kind Disney paper I have original (one of a kind) hand drawn Disney designs, made for the Bradley (Elgin) watch company - from which they, in turn, made the color separations to use in printing. These were created for the Bradley/Disney watches. According to Ebay Disney character watch history began in 1933, when Ingersoll manufactured the first Mickey Mouse watch. In 1957, Ingersoll became U.S. Time, and around 1968 the name was changed again to Timex. In 1971 Timex chose not to continue with the Disney contract, and it was acquired by Elgin National Industries, Inc, on January 1, 1972. Bradley Time Division of Elgin National Industries produced most of the Disney character watches for the next thirteen years. This art work was thought destroyed in 1985, after the relationship with Disney was dissolved - they were never made available to the public in any form other than as watches.

Re: [MOPO] Am I Crazy
try buying records from people who don't have turntables and grade vinyl as mint if it only have a few noticeable scratches. Or pre-recorded open reel tapes, again from people who can't play them - but tell you they look nice - at lease with posters a good description can clear up the grading problem - unless the seller can't actually see the poster and is grading it by smell.

Re: [MOPO] OFF TOPIC - NOT THE TIME FOR POLITICS
1. the federal government has never been equipped to deal with regional or local problems (or disasters). 2. federal programs - like the department of education and such - are cash cows producing no value. 3. if you do not like Your (our) President - then no matter what he does - you will find fault with. 4. people who choose to live below sea level in a coastal city - it would seem to me - at least have contributed to their situation more than - say - a janitor working in #2 World Trade Center on 9/11. And remember - no body told the janitor there was a plane coming and that he should evacuate. 5. These are Americans, in an American city - and we, as a nation, or simply as compassionate humans should do what we can to ease their suffering. Joining the typical media frenzy against anyone right of center - is not helping. and what of the media? - how many millions of dollars in equipment and time have been dedicated to getting cameras in front of the suffering? And while doing so - how many of these media crews have packed some extra water of food to hand out to those they are photographing. in the final analysis, there will be many acts of great kindness, sacrifice and heroism - and there will be plenty of things that go wrong. And for all the things that go wrong, there will be plenty of time to blame whom ever you oppose personally or politically - and there will be plenty of that blame to go around. But when you preach to the choir - come from a position of knowledge, not emotion. Its difficult to counter your argument, if you actually know what you're talking about.

The American Red Cross may be expert at responding to public disasters, but for years it has failed to get a grip on financial disasters at its local chapters. There's the fundraiser in Louisiana caught padding her own bank account with donations, the manager in Pennsylvania who embezzled to support her crack cocaine habit and the executive in Maryland who forged signatures on purchase orders meant for disaster victims, to name a few. But the biggest criminal scandal inside the Red Cross surfaced in New Jersey last year. And though it's been kept off the front pages, it ranks among the biggest charity frauds ever. -OR- By Amran Abocar in Toronto November 22 2002 Police have laid criminal charges against four doctors, the Canadian Red Cross Society and a United States pharmaceutical company after a five-year investigation into tainted blood -and then there was 9/11 here in NY- WASHINGTON - Generous North Americans who gave more than half a billion dollars (U.S.) to the Red Cross expected their donations would go directly to surviving family members and victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. Canadians opened their wallets to donate $10 million (Cdn) to the New York, Washington and Pennsylvania victims, Suzanne Charest of the Canadian Red Cross said last night. But in a growing scandal which threatens to rock the foundation of the 120-year-old American Red Cross, it now appears that of the $530 million (U.S.) total donated, more than $200 million is being diverted to the blood agency's long-term goals and administrative costs. That includes (all figures in U.S. dollars): $109 million for improving the Red Cross' telecommunications, accounting and database management systems. $50 million for the agency's blood reserves program. $26 million for community outreach. $29 million for indirect or administrative relief costs. $11 million for international assistance.

For fans of the film, that's a big, important thing. they couldn't just say - no, it does not exist show the stills - again - and leave it at that? every fan of the film already knows what it was, where it was in the film, and (agree or not) they understand why it was cut. you know what we REALLY need?? another book on the making of Gone With The Wind, or maybe another biography of Abraham Lincoln.
