Or are you trying to say that you bought a warehouse FULL of MIRAMAX posters. Is that what you mean you assshole? Because you like to have people think that you somehow made a deal with Miramax when infact you did not. When infact more then likely you bought a bunch of posters that might even be considered STOLEN. Is that what you mean??? I mean please Im the dense one here help me out.

I think that when you have the guts to call people the garbage you have, you should have the guts to say it in person as well. The fact is, you have no clue, you never had a clue and you still don't have a clue. I can back up everything I said with pure facts: I got 250,000 from a Mirarmax warehouse. did Miramax OWN the warehouse.. no. But your tact is not to speak in an intelligent manner, you go right to spouting garbage and using filth for language and when it gets turned back at you, suddenly you don't like it anymore. You truly are an internet punk. You know nothing. No one here likes you in any manner that I can tell and you act like complete horse's ass because that's the only thing you know.

Then after a friend advised whats his status on ebay I foound he was suspended for not paying people... so I advised him I needed wire tranfer and payment for the incentive product.I belive he has complied and even offerd me a apology for not being polite.. so I needed to stand up..

I bought for a woman that was non refundable.. after asking the travel agency and Unnited and american express to refund.. they all said no so I thought how can I make a Positive from this?I decided to ask if the would give the ticket credit to the woman... because sure I didnt want to be used or ripped off from her, But Im paying for it anyway.. and why buy noithing..? perhaps it will make her life better in some way, and she can find some peace.. thats my hope and if we just try to seek protection from thingsall the time we dont... so hopefully they will offer a tracvel credit and she will get to fly anywhere for 1000.oocredit... that way I tried to turn something into a positive for someone..## Touching letter... so My ex said a Letter came to my old address. Its was a resume from Mass. A mannamed Albert M.

Albert was involved 35 years in Film distribution and also promoted live events.. he was at the theatre from 1974 - 2009I have no idea why he was relived of his job, however I decide to call him... he sited his age he's in his 60'sand so it was a interersting phone callas I decide I would try to give him some inspireing thoughts.I asked him what it felt like... hes been out of that 35 year position 9 months. hes working in a restrauntto make ends meet.. I thought that shows hes humble to take any work to not give up..Then we spoke about the biz.. and he knew any topic I touched on like Thomas Lamb a architeck that built theatres... and Summner Redstone and even Bob Vale a Guy I know from Boxoffice magazine...So this man is a very seasoned theatr person seeking a Gig... and to me was a walking research libaray...Anyways he thanked me u and down for the call and I said how many did you send?? he said 300and you 1 of 3 responces period. I said were the other two entrepeneuers? he said yes.I said well there you ave it Albert... Most people are scared silly that were taught to fear everything.. Butpeople that creat business know thatits hard and we are always in change and that there are no certains each day... I said probably why you started as a kind 34 years ago was you had no idea what to fear and the odds were also against you then... so just revert back to that... I siad worst case is you lose everything... and then youll be like that kid starting over again and thers nothing wrong with living like a kid anyway,,,so I said Ill do my best to network you and get the word out. he doesnt even have a computer as it was in the office and it sounds like hes in the position I was 10 years ago..

[MOPO] Searchi for poster
Does anyone happen to have a poster for the recent film, "Reykjavik Whale Watching Massacre" for sale? I believe the film was released in early 2009. I have seen two posters for the film. One is based on photography and the other is rendered in a style mildly similar to that of Saul Bass (although some may disagree). I'm looking for the latter.Thanks in advance.Saul 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.

I've been saying for the past 3-4 years.. maybe longer .. that digital displays are the direction theatres will be headed first of all, printing, shipping and storing posters are an expense that studio owners would love to eliminate. Not to mention the employees needed for such a distribution network. these employees need to inventory, request out of stock posters from other warehouses, have to take those rolls of 50 and pull 1-5 posters to send out to individual theaters etc. shipping by truck after printing and then individually to theaters is a greater expense than printing them also, if a poster has a mistake, it has to be reprinted etc. a digital display can be controlled by one central location by the studio - out of the hands of theatre owners - to maintain a consistent promotion from the theatres in Westwood to those in Montauk and all the way to Japan, India and Australia with great ease. A simple program can be set up to change the language fonts When the studio wants to change the campaign, all they have to do is create it in the central computer feed it - simultaneously all over the world But then you go further. Digital displays can show trailers intermingled with posters and can draw people who were just walking past the theatre better than a static poster. Plus you can gang them up creating ever larger displays with multiple digital panels. How about driving into a mall seeing 20 digital panels fitted together to create an 8 foot by 20 foot display showing trailers that can be seen across the parking lot. Literally an outdoor cinema The benefits of digital displays for theatres are endless. You have a single upfront cost and then you never ship anything to the theatre again and the same system that is used to feed the displays can also be used to feed the film itself for digital theatres. another savings where does the hobby go? well, it would be hard to say that it doesn't drop some, and certainly newer collectors would be less likely Look at the comics hobby. Marvel DC publish fewer comics today than they did during the 1940s. As a matter of fact, if you total up all the comic books published and distributed for any month of 2008, it is fewer issues than a single issue of Captain Marvel sold during WW2. (during WW2, Captain Marvel sold 2 million copies @ month. Current publishing by all companies is less than 1.5 million @month. Another comic, Walt Disney's Comics Stories had a print run as high as 4 million for years from the 40s-50s) As a result of fewer comic book readers (due to social changes- less people reading anything), the comic book hobby is decreasing in size and has been doing so for about 15 years. The result is not the elimination of these hobbies, but serious compression is indeed in the future. At some point Marvel DC will cease paper publication as will all newspapers and magazine. The likely future is a mini-disc for a reader that you take wherever you go, in addition to just reading online of course. When this happens, millions of comics will devalue in a short period of time (a few years). Fewer collectors means more unsold titles and downsizing to just the most popular material for hardcore collectors and historians. Superman comics will always be collected at some level. the 1940s title Mystery Men will be a tiny niche for historically oriented collectors only. The same will be for posters. Younger people will stop buying posters. THat generation will have digital displays so they can change whatever they want to show Posters for the obvious titles will always sell. A poster after all is the same as an art print. so Frankenstein, Casablanca, Snow White will always sell. Getting Gerties Garter however, or My Side of the Mountain.. well they are hardly requested anyway. So the hobby will compress as our generations die off, much like that nearly forgotten hobby - pulp magazines Rich Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at
Re: [MOPO] things that make you go hmmmm....
Excellent piece of investigative reporting, Bruce! Although it is also clear why you would want to bring this to light. Part consumer protection, part self-interest. NEVERTHELESS, will LAMP now take action to either clarify the vested interests of these experts (The Franchi Family) or will they remove the reference completely from the LAMP website?

Well, one might go to Google and type in movie poster value or some similar phrase, and one of the links you get is to a site that is called www. poster appraisal.com http://www.posterappraisal.com/ There is also a prominent link to that site at the top of Learnaboutmovieposters.com's page called Sources and Resources for Movie Poster Collectors. Going to that site, near the very top of the page is a disclaimer that reads, Nothing is bought or sold on this site. and but if you do wish to sell, I will be happy to suggest the best way to market the item you own and even better, I do not charge for this service or for the actual evaluation Great! A completely free and unbiased appraisal of your old movie poster. The page says that The site is owned and run by rudy franchi and a list of his credentials are given, including that the owner and his wife (Barbara) have organized poster auctions for Skinner of Boston, Heritage Galleries of Dallas and Christie's, New York and continue to appear on Antiques Roadshow (note the past tense on the poster organizing, and the present tense on the Antiques Roadshow). Later on the page is the promise that And to repeat, I do not make offers for the material you inquire about nor do I get involved in its eventual disposition. It seems that one could not ask for a more expert opinion, and you have an absolute promise of impartiality from people who promise to not get involved. But perhaps all is not exactly as is stated above? When one goes to the Meet our Experts page on Heritage's movie poster section of their website at http://movieposters.ha.com/common/consignment_directors.php http://movieposters.ha.com/common/consignment_directors.php , Grey Smith is listed as Director, followed by Bruce Carteron as Auction Coordinator and then there are two Consignment Directors (both of whom can be contacted through e-mails or 800 phone numbers that are housed at Heritage's headquarters) and these Consignment Directors are Barbara Franchi and Rudy Franchi. That clearly directly contradicts the statement on the posterappraisal.com http://posterappraisal.com site. http://posterappraisal.com http://posterappraisal.com Or are perhaps these different people who happen to have the same name as the owners of the posterappraisal.com http://posterappraisal.com site?
