I think the better question to ask here, is exactly how much restoration has been performed on this poor poster?
Looks to me like the poster had at least the bottom border trimmed (no NSS info, or any Allied Artists copyright info, only a poorly stenciled "printed in USA" at the bottom right), it is also missing the black printer's alignment marks at each of the corners. It was then over-bleached, removing most of the natural colors. As for the missing smoke from the car - total hogwash! Take a close look at the hood of the car - you can see the small whiff of smoke rising from the hood, then across her arm where it abruptly stops. What happened? Some lunkhead restorer decided it was a defect and painted yellow over the rest of the smoke erasing it from the background. Printed in USA but made for the foreign market (which foreign market was releasing this clunker?) - I call BS on that. Poorly restored? Absolutely The work of Chris Cloutier? Possibly Take a look at the 50ft Woman one-sheet shown at the end of the video, and see if you can see the smoke from the car, the black printing alignment marks in the corners, or any NSS/copyright info on this poster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6n4UPQ8nK8&feature=channel_page -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of gary simmons Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2009 8:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN POSTER http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item= 270334757877 Hello experts, I saw this poster on ebay and was curious if anyone if familiar with it? Does anyone know how this poster can be distinguished from the more experience version? That is, the seller seems to say this poster is for the foreign market -- what characteristics differentiate this poster from the 'real' US one. Very curious. --- On Sat, 1/24/09, Roland Lataille <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Roland Lataille <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [MOPO] wow-wow-wow ANOTHER EBAY IMPROVEMENT > To: [email protected] > Date: Saturday, January 24, 2009, 8:21 AM > Yes, I like that too. > > --- On Wed, 1/21/09, Roger Kim <[email protected]> > wrote: > From: Roger Kim <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [MOPO] wow-wow-wow ANOTHER EBAY IMPROVEMENT > To: [email protected] > Date: Wednesday, January 21, 2009, 9:26 PM > > > My entry is actually a PayPal improvement, so I don't > know whether I'm eligible for the free books and Smoke > Signals poster.... > The last half dozen times I've used PayPal, it did not > give me the annoying message that said: "Why are you > paying via credit card?
