Please...I implore everyone. Don't give this woman any ammunition for her volleys against the righteous heralds of movie poster-dom. Let her go away..far away...like a troublesome toothache or an annoying canker sore. And keep telling yourselves: "All will be well...eventually all will be well..."

The odd thing is that women love movies. I don't know how many of my women friends belong to movie groups. They meet up to have a bite and see a flick together. They share videos and pass along DVDs to each other. But poster collectors? I hadn't really thought about the number of women collectors vs the number of male collectors so I did a quick google search. >From bankrate.com " From birth, American women and men are raised to view and spend money quite differently. Our socialization, a trained behavior, is primarily modeled after our same-sex parent. While experts agree these generalizations are breaking down, the money paradigm most of us have been dealt is similar... Women, trained to nurture and seek acceptance, view money as a means to create a lifestyle. Women spend on things that enhance day-to-day living. Theirs is a now-money orientation. Men, trained to fix and provide, view money as a means to capture and accumulate value. Men don't spend, they invest. Men don't want something, they need it. Theirs is a future-money orientation..." The article goes on the elaborate what each of the sexes accumulates or collects.. Women like to shop whereas men get trophies... "Men will say, 'I need a new computer.' No, you want a new computer because it's faster, it has more bells and whistles," says Hayden. "Men move those things they want into an investment category, 'This is a good investment.' And then they can't even enjoy it, they can't go, 'Oh, this is so much fun!' Everything is a serious need and everything is an investment. What men need to do is kind of ease up a little bit and enjoy what they're actually able to provide for themselves...<snip>... Women spend their money gradually over time, and men spend it on a number of big things. "They spend really big to show off because there's a lot of ego risk on men today to do better than the next guy," she says.." As far as bankrate.com is concerned, women would rather spend hundreds buying a new pair of shoes or outfit, then go out to dinner and the movies where as guys will take that $$$ and invest in movie memorabilia. Guys will then join and post on MOPO to follow their investment.
