only from Goose Bay.... wish i could comprehend your wordage and dialect
I'm sure I would be flattered however since I have the education of a
15-year-old who is expelled from school for drawing a picture of Led
Zeppelin in art class and the principal that expelled me told me I was
only the second person he expelledin his career the other guy who is a
man name Mark Farner from a band called Grand Funk railroad in Flint
Michigan
You can blame my grandmother and my grandfather and the Beatles for my
views on politics and war and peace and love also you can blame Jesus
Christ
I went back to school for my mother and got a GED high school
equivalency diploma even though I never took a single class in algebra
or any higher math or such subjects I was told I had an outstanding
ability to understand literature and I guess art and music
I had a great memory for remembering things like when my grandmother
took me to see John F Kennedy in 1960 Apple Lucas county courthouse can
you view google John Kennedy in Toledo 1960 the picture of the Toledo
blade put up is exactly how I remember it when I was five years old
Unlike the current media attention to people with short term memory is
the accuser President Biden of I think everybody has to consider that
when people have experienced extreme trauma whether it be rape financial
loss divorce and numerous mental obstacles the body tends to respond by
wanting to block it out that's why I understand people who are suffering
dementia and Alzheimer's I personally believe it's a trigger that
happens especially to military guys where they can't post traumatic
stress disorder and my friends who are in Vietnam all seem to of had it
my one friend who is the special ops of the military side time do you
think Jesus will forgive me I killed over 400 people and what I told him
was yes I think
I think everybody gets forgiveness for mistakes they make as we make so
many mistakes specially when we're younger and rebellious it's funny
because I have seen so many intelligent people fall apart at the seams
when they experience a traumatic stress and what's bizarre is the entire
country no matter what your age or education or bringing up has been
experiencing because never before in history have we had so many things
compounded like the Covid pandemic pandemic the threat of nuclear war
various wars in Ukraine potentially in China and Taiwan and potentially
in other countries of the Middle East now let's see where was that
foretold?
The naysayers Will say it's all just hearsay or we are reading into it
however in the book of revelation I think it's clarified in words that
were in biblical days but the good news is that it says it will be a
good thing when it finally comes to fruition of the return of gods son
I just got six bucks on Judaism and it's very intriguing because
basically the Jews and the Muslims and Christians are believe in Abraham
and Isaac and Ishmael they just
Just differ on whether whether Jesus Christ was truly the Messiah or son
of God yeah if we look in the New Testament the 12 disciples all testify
to the fact that they believe they experienced the true living God no
that was 2000 years ago so I'm not here to try to convert or convince
anybody of anything based on my 67 years of human life I've seen so much
weird stuff happen in society and in business in music industry and
movie industry in pop culture I've been saying for years I think that if
you look at what has happened with the recent shootings most of these
kids are emulating what they saw in movies and and books and pop culture
I think Steven Spielberg came close with the ready player go I never saw
the film now but I understand he covered the fact of the insanity of
media
And I think recently the issue of artificial intelligence underlines
what is going on because in revelation it's like the last final war of
Armageddon will not be a flesh and blood blood
if you look at the political world and all these potential wars and
threats by Putin suggesting they will use nuclear war it fits the
narrative very well that follows verbatim the words of the Bi
How does this relate to movie posters? The movies are reflection of our
society going back to the silent era and people like DW Griffith and
Walt Disney and Cecil B DeMille have painted us a picture of much of
world events they've used animation and cartoons for war time propaganda
and anybody that studies disinformation can see that both China and
Russia are utilizing the media and the computers to affect the bias and
opinions of everyone
I have been a Democrat since I first voted in 1976 for Jimmy Carter when
I became ill I had no health insurance and so I welcomed the Obamacare
health insurance otherwise I would've never got any medical help
To try to pay it forward for my fellow Americans I volunteered for the
Barack Obama by 2012 reelection campaign I was in the headquarters of
the Barack Obama campaign in Toledo and I remember hearing how they were
comparing our volunteers to black panthers that we were radicals and it
was totally untrue I was actually in the main room with young women that
were very friendly and kind and never said a bad word about Mitt Romney
so I know from experience how things can get twisted and I ended up
talking to many Republicans trying to tell them that I assured them that
we were not radicals and we were trying to do good things for everyone
Quite frankly I have no idea how Joe Biden can do anything because the
stress that man is under from all sides is ridiculous and it must be so
hard for him to focus on issues at hand what we have to remember is he
must've had some of the largest trauma when his daughter and wife died
in a car crash then your son died in the military who is Bo Biden I
would assume he would like to block out all those traumatic episodes and
so if I asked most people to remember and recall the dates and times
they did anything do a test with yourself and you'll see it's very hard
to remember specific dates and times even the most educated person
because our society now is nothing but simple small words used to text
each other our whole English language has been changed
Somebody with the lack of vocabulary or wordage specially if you're
talking about legal terms I had to buy a lawyer a book called blacks law
book in order to know all the legalese terms in law when I had my
trademark lawsuit and saw the thing I noticed with many inventors and
people like Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein research lots of Pasco
information in order to educate themselves
So even though my punctuation and spelling is bad my comprehension of
literary materials is pretty good as far as Greg's humorous remark of my
Business acumen I basically listen to many people I respected in the
entertainment industry of how to treat people and I studied people that
I found to be straight shooters an honest I made plenty of mistakes and
I know means do I have it all together but I have tried to help others
from my mistakes much like I would assume a recovering alcoholic or a
rape victim for someone who has lost all of financial abilities as when
you think of it all we really can pass down to our friends and relatives
is our experiences
I tried to tell the young people the importance of doing something
positive and ironically Arnold Schwarzenegger's new book is called be
useful in which he underlines the same lessons he has learned
The other lesson that I have learned from the Beatles was the idea of
love and peace and helping stop wars and I credit John Yoko an Paul
and George and Ringo is being catalyst of peace and forgiveness post
from a Christian perspective and also from the meditation of the yogis
and others in eastern philosophy
I see all these religions intersecting and find it confusing that they
can't all come to the same conclusion that it's about the same God
because we are all connected by DNA which proves we are all brothers and
sisters regardless of our nationality
Motion pictures are very powerful to sway and inspire mankind in a good
way and also in a negative way
I've never seen the film Schindler's list because it's up Perlman
musical score brings me to tears without even seeing the film or just a
few clips from the trailer
Which leads me to why I think children with autism and various mental
disorders are actually very sensitive spiritually and seem to have six
sense of emotion and trauma and why they are treated as if they have a
disorder when really they are the ones who are sensitive to what's
really going on in the world what is the most profound things ask any
parent of a child with Downs or best Burger or any of the autism
spectrum and they will say they have a special gift of understanding
I guess rain man and a beautiful mind go into that a little bit
So in my summary the lessons I have learned it is it's about love and
forgiveness and I just discovered in the last two or three months since
Christmas actually
If you analyze which songs have made an impression on your life for me
it was all the tender love songs throughout history by artist like Frank
Sinatra and Billie Holiday Aretha Franklin in many of the artists like
Nat King Cole
and the Beatles Paul McCartney was made fun of because he wrote many
silly love songs yeah those were the backbone of my interest in music
was listening to the Beatles countless wonderful songs
I always ask people what was your favorite movie your favorite song your
favorite whatever and I can pretty much get a picture of where that
person's head has been at over their life the people into horror movies
I found it was a way to cope with sadness and fear compartmentalize and
rationalize those fears because it made regular life issues seem
bearable and small compared to what was in the movies for example
forbidden planet Time Machine, planet of the apes, Frankenstein, and
also are fascination with mortality and the supernatural in many of the
vampire films. And other supernatural themes relating to the spiritual
world for instance the exorcist
Cecil B DeMille was so fascinated with biblical movies he made some of
them twice and the 10 Commandments is still holds up today is being one
of the best biblical films with Charlton Heston
I suggest in your quiet space you just pray to God that his will be done
on earth and that all the anger warfare and deception comes to an end
finally that's what I pray every day and I've been trusting that God has
this all worked out because I'm definitely not one that could do
politics or any kind of negotiations with the leaders of this world that
I think are completely operating on Egos but all we can do is pray for
everyone...and Trust God IMHO
Bless you all... and your familys I know its hard .but Good things
always are,, amen?

"2001" back in the summer of '68. Boy, what would THAT be worth? That
bad boy kicked in during the second half of the film and that was the
one time I watched that movie where it all made perfect sense. Of

specifically 2001 a space Odyssey who might be interested in it and I
think he would give it a good home as far as value I have no clue I
think there is a section on eBay for tickets and I've had many over
the years I had the original screener for ET back from 1982 and I also
had tickets to a lot of TV shows like Johnny Carson and I always would
keep my movie stubs from movies I would've turned myself just to
remind me of the film and that I had seen it do you still typically
have piles of tickets in Los Angeles in the hotel rooms that they will
give you for free there's just like posters could be not bought or
sold you could not give away tickets to TV shows under FCC rulings I
made the mistake of having a contest to give away tickets to see the
David Letterman show in the 80s and round TV commercials and when I
tried to get Bill Wendell to do the voiceover David's manager who
happens to also be Woody Allen's agent and manager called me on the
phone and told me I must've made a mistake because I am not allowed to
give away tickets to TV shows for advertise I had already booked
airfare for the tickets but luckily I put a disclaimer in the ad that
if we had an emergency beyond our control that everything would be
Nolan void so I actually had to go to the show myself with my brother
and watch David Letterman the night they had the band the stray cats
were on I didn't get to meet David but it was interesting because his
secretary was the one who said that I could give away the tickets and
she done told me don't let David's Manager because she could get in
trouble so I didn't tell him that she gave them to me and left her out
of the whole thing and said I made the mistake
> We had a very nice TV spot showing a limousine pulling up and then
a plane taking off for the airfare and then some nice pictures of the
from the TV show of David one of my big flops of my major history of
mistakes and errors in my 46 years I'm selling memorabilia when I
first started advertising on NBC local affiliate I was one of the
first to advertise on the David Letterman show when I can get a 30
second spot for $15 a spot Johnny Carson on the other hand was $200 a
spot back then I also advertised on Johnny Carson and various other
NBC shows when you do ROS it mean they'll put the spots in I spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars on advertising in the early days I
bought ads in Rolling Stone magazine and the globe and star login you
name many collectible magazines like from collectors world and comic
buyers guide in the toy shop wherever they have an opening you could
end up on a late night show
> The residual effect of advertising for 46 years is that I still
have people phoned me every day from all over the world that just
wanna talk about collectibles is a free public service I tried to
steer these people in the right direction and I typically will send
them to Heritage auction or Bruce Hershenson movie poster for many of
the people that I have met over the years in the collectible industry
some of them have passed away and some of them have been changing
venues or who they work for Prop store gray Smith I told a woman the
other day about the 10 Commandments props that there are having in the
in the prop store auction and hopefully she can bid on them and put
them in their collection so I'm always out there trying to advocate
for all of you because part of the

the people that I've got to meet along the way many of them are old

sadness but then there's also thankfulness
> As many of you know I believe that God has a big part of life
matter fact all of it and so I feel like I've been on a great learning
experience yes I will be 68 this year and I have no idea what God has
planned for me next but I trust it will be really good no matter what
way I go I totally missed the Oscars this year because I only use an
antenna plugged into my TV and it couldn't grab the ABC signal because
of clouds and bad weather so I didn't get to see any of it and I
didn't even know it was on at 7 o'clock so at 9 o'clock I started
asking around because I had NBC turned on that's like my go to channel
but I have not heard any buzz on anything I missed I think the
industry seems to be suffering greatly because of The pandemic
> It seems like people are hungry for good positive message films
because they've seen enough disasters in reality with Weather and wars
and you name it so if they can come out with some good positive films
I think that will be a good effort going forward I may go see
Ghostbusters frozen movie that's coming out soon and I still have not
seen Steven Spielberg's movie that's biographical and I never saw Tom
Hanks Mr. Rogers movie which I wanted to see also other than that I
didn't see Oppenheimer but it sure sounds like that was one of the
winners that did well and sadly I haven't heard any buzz at all about
the new recent Raiders of the lost Ark movie it seem to have dismal
box office which was kind of sad to hear because I always like the
Raiders of the lost Ark franchise

> ps i just got 7 audio books 1 and Judaism yes I'm very interested
in the Jewish faith and traditions and so I am studying and listening
to these audiobooks to learn the culture in history so far I can see
why it dovetails with the new testament of the holy Bible is the Old
Testament is basically the Jewish aspect so that I noticed they are
all closely related because the Jews the Muslims and Christians all
believe in Abraham salt I am trying to learn all about it I've never
had a ball bowl of matzo ball so my cousin married into Jewish family
and so she's actually down in Florida and I think is going to coach me
on some of the Jewish traditions very interesting people and many of
the people who have helped me in my memorabilia career have been
Jewish people and also in my musical career like Lloyd Berman of
Hollywood Lloyd's camera exchange who is in the movie Bowfinger with
Steve Mar he was one of my name buyers of my clapboards in Hollywood
> Lloyd was the World War II fighter pilot and he started his camera
store in 1947 in Hollywood and quango Boulevard and he has a smart
speaking part is they filmed the movie in his store and when you look
you can see my clapboards all around the store I think he might've put
Frank Oz who directed it up to using my boards because he's always
trying to help me out he would actually pay me extra money on my
invoices so we started calling him uncle Lloyd because he was such a
kind man also Ira Rubenstein offered to give my son and his friends a
VIP tour of Sony pictures while he worked there and he said I'll be
your son's surrogate dad while he's in Los Angeles that's when I
learned what a mensch was
> And lastly but not the only one who is Mel Blanc the voice of bugs
bunny who took me out to lunch in 1976 in imparting some of the best
wisdom I've ever had on business or show business when he told me that
I could be honest and stay in the entertainment industry but that I
just needed to realize there were some good guys and son that we're
not so good but to try my best to not work with the good ones and
there has been many many more that's why I wanted to find out about
Jewish Tradition because Jesus Christ himself was Jewish and I figure
he had lots of good wisdom
