Sorry to burst your bubble, but it was MY email that pushed him over the edge! As follows: Dear magic_carpet_deals,
Hi - this item looks very exciting, and I am very interested in it, but I have a couple of questions: Next to "King Kong," it says "Vuelve," which in Spanish means, "It returns". Why would the lobby cards from the original release in 1933 say "it returns"? Also, they say "Nueva edicion en Superpanoramico," which means "New version in Super Panavision". Why would the original lobby cards from 1933 say "new edition" and also mention a screen format that did not exist in 1933? Based on this wording on the lobby cards, I think these cards may be from a re-release. If they are really original from 1933, why do you think they said "it returns" and "new version in Super Panavision"? Thanks! To which he replied: NI! I CHANGED DESCRIPTION! THANKS FOR YOUR INSIGHT! - magic_carpet_deals From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Halegua Comic Art Sent: Friday, June 25, 2010 12:19 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Fw: King Kong's Inside Leg Measurement..... Man you guys must have poor people skills.. I wrote the guy this comment: Hey, I don't want to burst your bubble, but these Mexican posters are from the 1972 re-issue in Mexico. The original King Kong lobby cards from Mexico for the 1933 release are only Green and not full color and the 1938 release are red cards and again not full color. All knowledgable King Kong collectors know these facts. now I'll be honest folks.. I have no idea what original 1933 Kong cards look like. I was just hoping he'd send me an email I could laugh at. Instead he wrote this to me: thanks ! I changed description.. - magic_carpet_deals and he did indeed change the description that's almost funnier than anything you folks got LOL Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
