is..??
Well,Greg Douglas Is a imposter.. He pretends not to care
Denounces humanity, makes Christmas songs Within a dysfunctional
croissant Santa
People I've met on planet Earth.. Thoughtful Honest, Sincere
Humble people I've known
This man invited me and my brother to one of his concerts Near Sandusky
Ohio And he is guess We got to hear him free
This all star lineup of musicians What is the former bass player for
Huey Lewis and the news,Chris Slaid former drummer of AC/DC And a few
other players Who were famous for their vans they put it in
Including Greg Who cowrote the song jungle love Steve Miller band
his playing was impeccable, The Season player Played with Greg Kighn,
Hot tuna ,In many of the hot bands of the 70s
You experienced and did what I had hoped to do myself In the 70s
But never quite made it, Instead, Mel blanc In 1976, While I was in
Hollywood trying to get a record deal Suggested,I would buy remind
nitche In selling Hollywood memorabilia in 1976 Novemeber while we had
lunch
lunch at the hamburger Hamlet in Beverly Hills
Mel passed away The month I got the job for Warner Bros. Making a movie
real clock in clapboard
for them for their catalog..I wanted to say look Mel I found my niche
Mel collected watches so I thought he would really like a Warner Bros.
clock
I even did a Bugs Bunny clapper clock for their catalog
Good news is I was able To give his Son Noel The clocksIn the clapper
And took Noel to lunch To the same restaurant that Mel taken me in 1976
At the lunch Noel said : I wish you could meet my frien, It Is like your
mom Tom they are from Bermuda And they love to hear stories about
Bermuda
Cool who are your friend who was your friend
He said; KIRK DOUGLas.. Kirks wife was from Bermuda
It was out of town at the time, whewn we left LA, Kirk And noel
Got an airplane accident, At LAX in Noels Dauphin Helicopter.. They were
both fine
But it was really bizarre as you know Krrt just passed away at 103
Adrian COWdry,,was the london man that eludes your memory...
He was a gentle giant, As he looked like an Viking, Tall, Reddish brown
hair
And a gentleman's gentleman
he stop by my store, When he attended The cinevent of event in Columbus
OHIO
And yes he collected James Bond,Stanley Kubrick
You bought several insert movie posters from me Likes spy who love me
and
Like your Greg , his kindness and compassion for people Left a
impression on me all never forget
In email exchanges Adrian always had a humorous remark and kind attitude
I am not sure, What happened to him except The pressures of humanity
Overcame him
Which we often succumb to
That's why, Movie posters mean more to me than just This is a paper with
ink
And why I see them representing So much in humanity
In both friendship, Culture, Art, Music, Philosophy,Education,Religion,
And why I only speak up When I'm told him don't mix politics or religion
With Posters
As movies have been the vessel I'm all the thoughts Of menAnd women
Since the late 1800s
To convey ideas,Fears,Hopes and dreams
The Comedians, Showed us how adversity, Could be viewed humorously
Documentaries Chronicle lives Show us Some of the insanity of history,
how The Improbable Can be possible
When you look at a HG Wells film,Or even Orson Welles
You find the art imitates life,Sometime art and Sometimes artImitates
life
Explore all of our Hopes and dreams And all of our worst nightmares and
fears
The science fiction genre and horror genre Allow a cathartic experience
For those that needTo escape Reality
Romantic films and Love stories Allow us to imagine love
,Friendship,Fellowship,Forgiveness
And overcoming adversity
My mentors and teachers in this business, We're mostly people who
suffered greatly by rejection Ridicule loss
For instance mel Blanc Was actually a bandleader Based player Who wanted
to do music
When he tried it out For Warner Bros. cartoons Rejected him.. In the
replacement was the one who gave Mel his first break
Adam West told me When I wanted to excuse myself from selling his book
As we had poor sales to
He said don't give up Tom, What you have to realize is that nobody
really knows nothing
When my ex-wife said wired you working so hard To try to sell this..An
advertising
Adam said: " Tell her you're exercising" As all experiences is Mostly
experimentingTrying new ideas
How many movies have flopped that had millions invested, How many took
off because of the simple thing called passion.. Like it's a wonderful
life That originally didn't pour box officeBecame public domain
75 years later It's still plays every Christmas on most channels
Because it appealed to the human heart and soul
Many times it's not about profit margins,But the everlasting message
In a song movie book Art, as how much did Leonardo da Vinci really get
for his work of the time??
Most inventors And artist typically re-investor money Into People,And
helping others, In the finalDays of their lives...I've seen it over and
over
That's why Orson Welles Rosebud From Citizen Kane Prop Is owned by
Steven Spielberg now
I think he gets memories And why it's so important to pass on Ideas,
Thoughts in love
Just as the Beatles also new
Every writer knows The power of the Pen
And what every artist knows...Is that still love you can share with
others
That binds us And in this lifetime
Nobody will ever honorYour bank account
But what you do with that bank account Can inspire millions
When I think of the people on mopo..The most beautiful part is when you
hear the stories of what they did with their lives To help share the
hobby, The respect for Others Even when we disagree
Like in the past, As we age mature..Get it old health issue,lose
money..see dreams unfulfilled
We learn to forgive and accept others, We learned repentance Which is
just a changing of What we do and how we do
We consider what effect we've had on other humans, In my case I
supported the pop-culture industry for 43 years And have many regrets
of the type items that I sold over those years As I saw its effect on
children
When I started the industry And 77 were no mess school shootings..And
we didn't have to worry about school drills
For active shooters. or bio viral weapons, Food Poisoning, For hacking
in the political arena
Is computers were a new thingIn the 90s
Dial the entire world isn't hereOf everybody and everything
Because we didn't teach the to love.....
I've met all kinds of people with different opinions Zeev Drach The
Canadian Israeli
Who is a soldier in the Israeli army Stopped by my shop Bought lobby
cards...I'm his way to the Volvo
Morrie Everett from last mo picture show also stopped by while i was
outside cleaning 16mm films withrenew it claener.. in the summer,,Bought
Mae West still
Jim Episale has made numerous buys... unShredded nostalgia and Jim are
more then Numbers orwallets..theyare Humans withsouls of Love
toname all of you would take Years,, as itlikea family ofwiz of Oz,,made
ofalltypes all kinds of ideas anda wealth ofINFO,, Episale was a us
marine...
Sue heim was a tvproducer and from OHIO..
.
Many working TV and movies,Writers,Like the man who wrote hIts from
Motown
Many have passed away Like recently Jerry Ohlinger... But not their
lessons order history
For a fact that they had on the hobby and industry I always site Debbie
Reynolds because she was the first one
the fisrt one i saw saving Hollywood in 1970
After watching the 1972 film documentary Narrated by Dick Cavett
Called Hollywood the dream factory, Made by AMG him pictures
I still have a copy of the 16mm pride
Are you still watches like I heard Howard Hughes would watch movies that
he made
In his office Over and over Because he love Hollywood- george Hureell
didthephotos of Russel for theOUTLAW..
I got to speak to George on the phone interviewing
My son said Dan you need to drop on all these people that you've met
I said because each and everyone of them customersMy suppliers,My
clients,By competition
I'll have educated me And help me And mentored me
Even when rejection involved, It's what teaches us To be resilient
Adapt Overcome
And to pay it forward forward.. Instead of arguing bickering,Insulting
dissing, Shutting out others
Not allowing Dreams to be met, Closing the door on down, Using deceptive
Tactics To lie and cheat
And stealing by use of power, As they say Absolute power corrupts
absolutely!!
Instead the power of love Always was and always will be The solution to
everything in the world that is wrong
From world pollution, Mismanagement of the planet earth,Animal life,
Elderly, women and children
When we fail to respect and honorAll humans Of all cultures all races
all religions We missed the boatFor all mankind..Because we all are
tethered together very tightly In everything
Media movies and and books and music can all be used for positive
purpose Or a negative one..
When I see love action, It brings tears of joy,Hope in the human race
When I say film used as a vehicleStopAnd hatred, I see it's not about
the money, For gross value moves sales
It's about the impact on human We all relate to
When I see broken people liftd forgotten By society Because they
cannot contribute any longer in the workplace For Young 20-year-olds
with mountain got debt and incurred that they cannot even discharge
Or see third world countriesJust trying to get Food out of a garbage
dump...
I know there are many That helps them Regardless of their net worth
Or even physical abilities Not because there is anything to gain
Financially
But they Discover It's not how much you get from others,What's important
is how much you serve and Give Regardless how poor sick old you are...
It may just be a few kind words The Could make someone's day Like you
just did for me Greg.. And many on mopo have done for me over and over
likescott nerves ofsteel superman, alan adler, Toochis,Sue,,susan OLson,
shelly whitwoth, nathalie,,Rudy, Ira, martin, Claude -faboule
Liittons..Mcdaniel whose familymakes great coffee in
Texas,,LOL..eventhetroublemakers keep us onthe toes..so whentheyattack i
lookat itas spiratual training nottocrush me but toToughen metowithstand
the rejection and fire darts of life,,,
Yes the whole message of Jesus Christ We'll still love each other
forgive each other and help each other
He said to love our enemies even more... And one the woman at the well
was about to be stoned
For being a adulterous He said he has not sin cast the first
stone..Because all of us to come short of the glory of God And all men
have sinned,,Repentance is merely just saying I want to do the will of
God not mine
Maybe perhaps the Biggest sinner on Mopo..
I Think as we age We learn to remarry many grey areas in life..
I see most problems or misunderstandings, I noticed that disasters
actually breakfast together
Because we see how futile hate is That only love and peace And
forgiveness Solve the issues
War never works,hate never works
When I see the power of God,It can come from the least likely
Because God uses The broken and powerless Throughout all world history
From Noah in the Ark,Moses, Job
heck St. Paul killed chrristians!!! Andy loathed them
as the story says He was on the road to Damascus Was blinded by the
light
Of Jesus And Angel And became one of the biggest Testimonies Ever Of
Jesus Christ
With God if anything is possible...
Most the people that I find are angry at God Because they didn't get
their way
Typically a love one dies and they don't see the wisdom why God would
have their loved ones die
When Christ tells us that We will all be reunited With loved ones After
the short life
For eternity At a place That I don't even try to think how big is We're
cool
But I believe in and near death experience I got to see a glimpse.. What
was odd was I was greeted by all the packs I ever owned In a beautiful
green Field Just like on earth with sun Fresh grass Smell And all
puppies ,dogs and cats Surrounding me Rubbing against me And all I can
say was wow It's real..
I didn't see any people relatives Or famous people
But I can feel they were all there and ready to greet me
That's why you never say I'm sorry if someone dies I know
Instead I say congratulations they graduate
Is all my family and friends who have passed I believe are still
aliveAnd will greet us when it's our time
Normally one who I've heard had a similar experience was Steve Jobs Of
Apple Computer Whose last words were wow
Like what he ever he saw With more impressive than any technology ever
experienced
We get mind boggling with earthly science Technology Of things we
could've never imagined hundred years ago
I believe This is nothing to what God has planned for us Once we're all
in agreement
With his plan ..Which was that we simply love By choice And seek him
not as Robots But because we know it's the truth It's a simple as that..
We may not believe in God, But he believed in us, So much
He allowed his son to suffer Ridicule humility pain, Rejection, The
Physical death
In order that we would all learn a lesson Of love
Humans always fail Because of pride and anger, greed lust envy..
But when I look at how we triumph... and A Person change and stand up to
hate,,,greed,For the powerless
We each have an inside our souls The ability to know right from wrong
The ability to help others, The ability to sacrifice our own needs For
the betterment of someone else
The ability to accept others that have flaws, Mental disabilities,
Physical disabilities
The ability to forgive those harm others,And Find ways To help them
emerge
And find peace And calm
As many are hurting because Cannot find peace
So they feel the only thing to do is retaliation By harming others
Consider the immigrants
Most of us come from families that were immigrants
I always ask myself what would Jesus do in this predicament,
turn away anybody?? Did he have laws of how we get into heaven't
Or did he simply say Ask shall be given Seek and you will find,Knocking
the door will be opened
Because God loves everyone
The ones that are get hurt Refused to love others And caused her own
demise Because of pride
Negativity,hate, Oppression
Why people are a great guy alludes me
It's what fellow men and women do That misleads him or deceive yourself
In politics, Education, Religion, Commerce
Why God doesn't just step in Punish This is giving us the opportunity
To solve the Matters With our internal souls and love
Because she put the ability to think And reason And change in all of us
And if you believe In the words of Christ We were told what would happen
Before the story even ended And we're given lots of Spoilers To give us
a heads-up
I have no idea when he's coming back, Please set You know when it's
about to storm
And all I can say is I've never seen so much of a mess InhumanityIn my
sixty three years
Do I think mankind can turn this around??? I've seen more common sense
in little children
Like Greta Thrnberg That I have an men four times your age
I predicted years ago That it would be the children That could save the
planet
What are spoke to them and I've spoke to them all over the world
They understand love,Compassion respect Acceptance And assisting others
inRedemption
I'm Helping you to embrace ideas and dreams...Which is to teach children
love and respect and kindness
Instead of teaching them how to brace for the next Multi gun to school
shooting
Inclusion diversecity Was Jesus Christ's main platform, Acceptance
I cannot think of anytime he told me to hate anyone Or to turn away
anyone
In Fact says very clearly when Many save the other times look what I did
in your name for you
He says get behind meYou person of lawlessness, I never knew you
Because he's well aware that Many use his name to make money Confuse The
weak and poor,sick elderly
but has control of the entire worlds resource..the entire animal
kingdom..even the virus..theris a order that tesla.einstein and others
Speculated on That I believe just With the tip of the iceberg
Those who have considered extraterrestrial life...I believeWe're Very
close
With that god And the other beingss in the universe Can Do things that
are far superior to anything we could ever imagine.. Consider Star Trek
transportation Beam me up nano scienc cloneing,,
Is the Soul as and Just in the container..Even can type considered
reincarnation
Just trying to take this stuff with them For the next life//If our soul
is what moves to the next level
In Christ says he can give us a new body..Add a everlasting life forever
But The next time I believe we will know why We needed to love and
forgive
Because this life was about educating us Why all the lessons were about
My wish is that everybody graduates with honors
And that those that have not recognized love yet Find it, Discover it
And share it with others
Departure time to go
Peace to everyone and God bless you all
Thank you for the lessons you have given me

SUBJECT: [MOPO] It's Our SILVER Anniversary! 25 Years of MoPo!
Who would have thought MoPo would still be around 25 years after
that first listserv message was sent on February 24, 1995…be
here we are!!!!
MoPo really started in 1994 when a small group of movie
memorabilia collectors found each other on Usenet (you youngsters
may have to Google that) and began CC'ing each other on e-mails
discussing the hobby. It was a primitive mailing list, but it
worked. Then in early 1995 as our distribution list grew, American
University student Adam Ehrlich discovered his school allowed
students to set-up a listserv discussion group--for free-and MoPo
was officially launched. It's interesting that once a list begins,
as long as it stays active and has a listowner (that would be ME!)
AU just lets it chug along even after a student graduates. Even
more amazing is that AU still maintains their listserv system at
all. But a big thank you is in order to American U for giving MoPo
a home for all these years.
As is my annual tradition, I salute the original 11 who were here
25 years ago today: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis,
Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff
Static (using AOL name Static555), Cindy Nemeth-Johannes (sadly we
lost Cindy in 2008, but her husband Jay is still a MoPo member),
myself, and of course, (former) AU student Adam Ehrlich. I'm happy
to report that in addition to Jay, Michael, Rob and Evan are still
with us 25 years later!
It seems unreal that 25 years have passed since MoPo began…time
does really fly if you'll pardon the cliché. I was an avid
collector back at the beginning, but as the years have passed
(along with my hair line), I find myself content with my
collection as it is and have begun thinking about what I'm going
to do with all these beautiful images that are now living in
storage boxes. But every day I do enjoy looking at my favorites
that have been carefully framed and hang on the walls and they
will probably be the last to go should I ever decide to liquidate.
(I have a feeling I'll be liquidated before those cherished gems
are!)
My thanks to all MoPo'ers, past and present, for a wonderful 25
years. Happy Silver Anniversary MoPo!
