Joe went in for gall bladder removal -- he didn't seem overly
concerned about it, but I'm sure he appreciates being missed and all
the good wishes. He should be back haunting the bars and radio studios
of New Orleans by next week.

[MOPO] fixed - saving searches at Movie Poster Bid

2005-04-14 Thread MoPo Bid
A few days ago, a couple of people mentioned that they could not save
their search results on MPB as a favorite or  bookmark. Or rather,
they could save it, but when they clicked on the favorite later to
recall the search, it didn't work and they were simply shown the blank
Advanced Search form.

This little glitch has been fixed. You can now save a search results
page as a favorite or bookmark and it will recall your search the next
time you click on it.

Turns out that in our on-going endeavor to protect the auction site
from spammers and other unsavory types from abusing the search
routines that we inadvertently disabled this very valuable function.
Sorry. Our bad.

Anyway, it works now. We're also planning to add a My Searches page
to the interface eventually, where people can save their searches on
site for easy recall. But for now saving them as a favorites bookmark
works.

www.MoviePosterBid.com -- you talk... we listen...  we respond...
(... um, within the limits of human decency, and our current budget
that is...  :)

Re: [MOPO] A VERY BIG DEATH IN HOLLYWOOD

If you ask me, Kerkorian was the Kervorkian 
of MGM.the only difference beinghe didn'tbother to 
ask


The Lion That Will Roar No MoreBy DAVID THOMSON 


  
  

an Francisco
IT was a long time ago, but there are many who still remember that Stanley 
Donen (who was 81 yesterday) did "Singin' in the Rain"; that Cyd Charisse made 
X's and O's with her long legs in that film, as well as in "Brigadoon," "Party 
Girl" and "Silk Stockings"; that Elizabeth Taylor gave her violet eyes and her 
black hair for Technicolor tests; and that there were other stars like Debbie 
Reynolds, Margaret O'Brien (who smashed the snowmen even after Judy Garland had 
sung "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas"), and many more, not forgetting 
the Mick, Mr. Rooney - hail to thee, blithe spirit - who ran the gamut from Puck 
in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" to "Baby Face Nelson."
I know, those last two films were not thought of by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, but 
nobody's perfect, and Mickey Rooney was the all-American boy at his home studio, 
which effectively went out of the movie business last week with its purchase by 
Sony and a group of other investors for nearly $5 billion. 
The death of this institution, of MGM, has been announced many times over the 
course of its 81-year history. In 1936, when the boy wonder, Irving Thalberg, 
died, there were those who said it would never be the same. But it pretty much 
was, for good and ill. Thalberg loved Lon Chaney and Norma Shearer; he 
encouraged the Marx Brothers but he put songs in their pictures, just as he cut 
about four-fifths of "Greed," Erich von Stroheim's wildly ambitious 10-hour 
epic. Boy wonders are often boys who wonder what they can get away with. Then 
Louis B. Mayer, Irving's father figure, boss and secret opponent, was fired in 
1951, after being head of the West Coast operation since 1924, the highest 
salaried man in the United States, a friend to presidents and the most heartfelt 
and constant actor at the studio. What did that mean? That he reckoned he was 
living in a movie all the time. He was, as they say, a man who drank his own 
liquor and never noticed he was drunk. 
For 20 years more or so, MGM seemed to be the old place. Hanging on, remaking 
a great hit from the past, "Ben-Hur," redoing "The Philadelphia Story" as "High 
Society," and having the lion's head on "Doctor Zhivago," "2001: A Space 
Odyssey" and "Zabriskie Point." But in 1969, the financier Kirk Kerkorian bought 
the studio. Eventually he would plaster the three great initials on an emerald 
bunker in Las Vegas. He cut back on movie production. He organized a sale of 
studio properties - just little things like Dorothy's red slippers, nothing to 
break your heart - and he is said to have burned a great volume of papers (the 
history of our story) to make space. 
By 1985, Mr. Kerkorian owned both MGM and United Artists, and Ted Turner 
subsequently bought the package from him so that he could own the thing he maybe 
loved most in the world, "Gone With the Wind," and so that he could obtain the 
video rights to the Metro library. Having been stripped of those assets, the 
diminishing, ever more tattered property went back to Mr. Kerkorian. Giancarlo 
Parretti was the next owner, and then in 1993 Sony bought the Culver City 
property, which meant the soundstages, the Thalberg building, the Grecian 
colonnade on Washington Boulevard and all the sentiment there was left.
Three years later, the dogged Mr. Kerkorian came back as his own sequel, 
older and with fewer ideas on every return. Now at last the whole thing belongs 
to some investment companies and Sony. To help pay for the purchase, the staff 
will shrink from 1,500 to 200. Nothing will be left except for a few people to 
run a small library, and the memories of people like the Mick. As studios become 
libraries, and film turns to digital, so the movies - the great things we made 
once - seem doomed to become miniaturized experiences, with outtakes, variant 
endings and directors remembering how smart they were.
It's not that MGM was the best studio, though it did better financially than 
most. It was not always as daring as Warner Brothers, Paramount or RKO. It liked 
to project a very safe, conservative view of the American imagination. And it 
could cheat: though it claimed "Gone With the Wind" as an MGM film, that 
monstrous thing owed itself to the obsession of David O. Selznick, who had every 
reason to keep away from Mayer (the man was also his father-in-law). Creative 
obsession was not really Metro's thing, and the studio picked up "Wind," 
finally, only out of Selznick's madness and a stealthy set of deals made by Mr. 
Selznick's former wife (and Mayer's daughter). It was a family business, then 
reason enough not to get too sentimental over it. 
On the other hand, it is the studio where King Vidor directed Garland singing 
"Over the Rainbow" and later, when idiots thought the song too sad, Mayer said, 
"Keep it in

[MOPO] Off-top- Health Report and Thanks from Joe B

2005-04-14 Thread Joe Bonelli
Dear MOPO folk.
Hi from Joe Bonelli.
Just a quick note to clarify my medical thing and to thank you for the kind 
wishes.

About two weeks ago I went through a series of nights waking up with sharp 
stomach pains.  I was afraid I was developing an ulcer.
Last Thursday  I drove to Vicksburg (240 miles north and west) and consulted 
with a doctor who participated in my full check-up in October and November.  He 
ordered tests for Friday and it was discovered that I had developed gall stones.
We agreed that sooner was better and I returned to New Orleans only to go back 
(via train) to Jackson (40 miles east of VB) on Sunday.  I stayed with friends 
who took me to and from the train and hospital.
The gall bladder procedure was amazingly simple.  Surgery is no longer 
performed and the punctures and sucking out of the gall bladder took from 9 
AM (taken in and knocked out) to 11:30 AM (waking up in recovery).  At 3 PM I 
was discharged and went to my friends where I (at doctor's orders) walked 
around the house, ate a reasonable supper and slept like a baby.  The next 
morning I was deposited at MPB Radio where I used to work.  I visited with 
former co-workers, was offered a Saturday/Sunday job if I want it 
(possible...hmm) and driven back to the train by my former supervisor.
I arrived home at about 5:30 PM and a friend and I relaxed and watched THE 
ROARING TWENTIES.
Wednesday I relaxed (feeling really tired from the trip, et. al.)   Today I 
plan to take it easy as well.
I feel sure I'll be back to normal in a couple of weeks at most but I do know 
that I can't move or carry things now so that may put back my getting my 
collection moved here for a short while longer.

Anyway, I am feeling much better and am continually amazed at the progress in 
medicine that has been made since I was a kid in the fifties.  This would have 
been major surgery just a few short years ago.  I'd have spent a week in the 
hospital and a month convalescing.  As it is, I think I'll be back in shape in 
much shorter time.

Thanks to each and everyone of you who sent me a nice email.  It's wonderful to 
realize that through these lists and this hobby that I have made new friends 
and acquaintances all over the world.  Here's hoping I can meet and shake the 
hand of each of you one of these days.
All my best,
Joe

PS-- A special thanks to Tom in Ohio who alerted the list to my situation. Tom 
is one of the truly good  guys on the list!   Joe

Re: [MOPO] A VERY BIG DEATH IN HOLLYWOOD

2005-04-14 Thread Tom Martin
what the hell is Dr Death doing In Hollywood!! i thought he was In
jail???

well now that I think of it... maybe Hollywood is a great place For Dr
kervorkian ..

MGM was one of my favorite studios,, I did some clappers and stuff with
the Lion LOgo that was sold in the studio shops and Disney
MGM in Florida.. However they would take deductions ( like screen
charges for mt screenprint machines,) they would deduct and say
we wont pay for those costs.. HUH?? tey do it  without asking so I said
BYE BYE,MGM... see YOU later!,
and then tehy wanted me to sign a contract so they could get exclusive
rights.. ( which i said NO)
then.. they asked me to supply the MGM grand,, ( I said NO I learned
from the last go around)
so far Im impressed with Roy Disney... he has the same views as I on the
demise of showbiz especially at Disney... stratigic manament!!
www.savedisney.com  they need o rethink like KIds..
and when they do that the Numbers will follow.. because parents and Kids
want a escape and to be pampered with FUN and relaxing...
NOT have there Credit cards JUMP to extreme danger so
that they have to RE- FInace theHouse To get To DISNEYWORLD...
Plus.. they could sell at 1/3 and do more businees if they REFOCUSED ON
quality..

In the Park... merchandise,, and ATTITUDE of management..  the animation
dept veterens were what Disney was built From/// what did
they do??? FIRE THEM!  FOOLS..
Roy Disney Knows.. and could restore the Magic..read his words at
http://www.savedisney.com

Hollywood has some great people.. Like itseems the weinsteins and Roy
Disney,, and the
guys at Imagine, and even Lucasfilm and Dreamworks and zoetrope..
themajor studios need to get rid of beancounters that are sucking the
life out of creative sorts and take some gambles on creativity,,, If
anyone could spot phenonenas with certainty there would be 1 studio.
But then dont listen to me I cant even find my zipper on my pants.

I might be getting  close though... watch out!

Re: [MOPO] [Style-b List] Re: [MOPO] Bruce and Phil...Shill

2005-04-14 Thread fluffhead
Hi Craig,
  Let me address your points that you made.
1)You've worked with Bruce Hershenson as a
consignor and as a buyer, so you have formed a valid, educated
perception/opinion.   Me: Yep!  As I stated, my opinions are just that,
opinions.  They are based on my personal experiences and observations, which
means WAY MORE than blind specualtion and unconditional support.

2)But people who have known him for eons will have difficulty being unbiased.
Me: Yep!  Personal relationships usually cloud judgement, you want to believe
the best, and question the worst - how is that unbiased?

3) I feel there's not enough information to form an opinion on the matter.
Me:  I disagree.  For me, I have enough to question his business practice based
on my personal experiences.  I bid with him rarely now, and only if it
something I cannot easily find elsewhere.  I'm not antiBruce as you say.
He's a nice guy...but, that does not mean I should trust him unconditionally.

4)I think it's fascinating that you can be so detached and perceptive that your
opinions are truly unbiased and valid while everyone else's opinions are
prejudiced by their prior associations.  Me: Never said my points were
unbiased - you did.  My points are valid only in that I relayed my personal
feelings about my experiences with Bruce, mainly because of all the blind
support he was being given - geesh, nobody is that perfect.

Craig, lighten up.  My post articulated my honest and open position in regards
to Bruce.  Why don't you post a question to those that blindly support him?
They are being biased as well, and possibly giving NEW people to the hobby
false confidence in his auctions...even when, by their own admission, they
do not have all the facts.  I believe my shared opinion is more valuable
than the facts are not in.  Experiences are more credible than assumptions.
I ask you: exactly what facts are you waiting for, and when will they be
available to the list?  Bruce is not a bad person, he is a businessman with a
profit agenda - that, is a fact.  Though his level of arrogance has probably
withered in the last week.

Regards,
Gary

 Again, I have no stake in this and have no opinion, either

 while everyone else's opinions are prejudiced by their prior
 associations.

 Oddly, an awful lot of people feel that way about their (and
 other people's) opinions on an awful lot of different matters.

Hollywood has some great people.. Like itseems the weinsteins and Roy
Disney,,

The Weinsteins? Great people?! Oh, Brother! I worked for the brothers briefly, doing rewrites. Kind of like Thalberg, I guess. If you're mean enough, they give you your own award.

2005-04-14 Thread Tom Martin
heres the Ultimate MGM collectable.. I have a ORignal 200 wat -2K
fresnel from MGM studios

circa 30s -40s.. Its the Ornate highly decorative vented cast Iron type
you rarely see.

Its heavy and has a stand on Rollers. It has the stickers with  MGM on
it. These were purchased

by a friend when MGM soldou the studio to Sony years ago,, I had like
50  and sold a great Number to Paramount studios and had to re-logo
them. :(..

However I have This =ONE= Left!!.. after that good luck as thes are Mole
Richarson brand Fresnels

that were Mole burgandy color.. it is well usd with rust and chips and
wear. However this Light

could have been used On Numerious Movies From the 30s On up to 80s.

Its a showstopper and a great converstion piece and if sold in a Auction
would fetch a good price i bet.

I will send it Shipped in USA continetal for 3800.00 + 150.00 shipping
credot card paypal accepted

I will give a letter of How I obtained the lights.. and as to where it
came from/


The cute part is these Lights still worked when I got them and have
lamps.. they are 2000 watts

of light!  This is what famed stillPhotographer  Georger HuRRell used
at MGM to take publicity shots ofthose famed  8 x10 view camera shots..

I spoke to George before he died and also have a VHS tape showinghim in
action ... also

he put out a Book  the Hurrell style by Whitey Stein-1972?

anyway if You have a stor Office , or home theatre OR best a MUseum in
need of some genuine Hollywood history here it is..

One MGM mole richarson 2-K light with senior? Rollerstand.. thelight is
like 15 inches diameter

heavy castiron and vented and stlized beyound words.. later models are
aluminum and look like garbage cans.. this is the classic Hollywood
lightsyou see in Wizard of OZ and  the epics/

this is definately One of a KInd and MY last One period..!

3800 + 150 delivered.

2005-04-14 Thread Toochis Morin
Don't worry, Tom.  The Weisteins are coming back but
not in the form of Miramax.  They'll be able to buy
things for dirt cheap, make their employees miserable,
and lock new writers into unfair deals again.

I feel bad about MGM, the people who owned it just
weren't into the company as a whole.  There are many
properties which Sony now owns through MGM; perhaps
they'll come back...I'll miss the Lion.

Disney will be fine.  I think it needed a little
shake-up.

The business is shrinking.  With video games making
more money than movies, it's getting bleak.

To everyone: wanna help the film industry?  GO SEE
MOVIES!

Wishing everyone the best,

Hi Jeffrey
Very good!
Perhaps, if we think smaller, then we may just find something to go and see
though.
Amongst the repetitions, the re-makes, the re-hashes and sometimes, the
retarded .. there are little gems that spring up.
It's a shame there aren't more but I agree with Toochis and sadly, see the

Re: [MOPO] A VERY BIG DEATH IN HOLLYWOOD

2005-04-14 Thread JRS



Jeff,

Excellent! If only your post was just a joke instead of what really happens 
90% of the time...

Particularly the bit about the black background posters. I've been noticing 
that myself for several years -- a totally excessive use of black (or very dark) 
backgrounds on far too many posters, with a serious lack of imagination in what 
they plop onto those backgrounds. The same old dramatic headshots... or else the 
even moredramaticfakey posesof the characters (see the 
FANTASTIC FOUR advance for a classic really poor example). Not that you didn't 
have similar head shots and poses on older posters, but when they were done as 
paintings or drawings, they were done with more talent and soul and worked 
better. The almost exclusive use of photo elements these days has lead to as 
long string of boring and look-alike posters, at least for my tastes. Every once 
in a while we still get a decent poster out of Hollywood, but it's been pretty 
slim pickin's for quite a while.

Or, as John Stewart might say: "Damn you, Photoshop!"

The MOPO owner is a very nice guy, and often overlooks violations of mulitple postings. but, you are getting annoying. enough is enough. People reading this site will check out your auction based on one posting.

now, i've looked at your stuff on your site and individual ebay listings. you aint no heritage!!! check out bruce h's descriptionslearn from him!!! your descritpions are very weak. i couldnt figure out what you were selling in some cases when you grouped a lot of stuff togethera lot of cheap stuff. couldnt figure out country of origin in some cases. pictures unclear. the quality of your stuff isnt top notch. 

i saw 3 titles that interested me, checked them out and some others...but then gave up.

Re: [MOPO] F/S - Latest acquisitions from Cinemarts now online!

2005-04-14 Thread Phil Edwards Cinema Arts



After a change of servers, right in the middle of 
an ongoing website overhaul that caused a few late nights and numerous 
headaches, we've finally completed the upload of recent acquisitions for our 
website. 

You'll find such goodies as the Ballester Italian 
ON THE WATERFFRONT 55x79, and the French 47x63 one panel for the Brando classic 
as well. There's also the stunning insert for Val Lewton's THE CURSE OF THE CAT 
PEOPLE, the stone-litho long daybill for the 1941 Peter Lorre film MR DISTRICT 
ATTORNEY, a gorgeous promotional book for the 1929 D.W. Griffith film LADY OF 
THE PAVEMENTS starring Lupe Velez and William Boyd and several Saul 
Bass-designed one sheets.

With over 400 new items - from an autographed 
still of GERARD DEPARDIEU to the linen-backed Polish poster for STAR WARS, we 
hope you'll enjoy browsing our online catalogue. Click here for the latest from 
Phil Edwards Cinema Arts:http://www.cinemarts.com/recentac.aspx

Re: [MOPO] A VERY BIG DEATH IN HOLLYWOOD

2005-04-14 Thread Phil Edwards Cinema Arts



The David Thomson piece was interesting, but in 
many respects the MGM he's talking about died a long time before this, leaving 
it just asa brand name without real meaning to what the studio used to 
represent in terms of its house style. Nothing new there. Do any of the 
"studios" now represent what they used to? Warners perhaps comes closest, and 
that more by accident than the design of the current studio regime there in 
their choice of projects.

As for too many posters today, once the stars 
contractual demands and approvals are met (that is, how big the headshot will 
be, what side their name will be on, what percentage in size their name is to 
title treatment, etc) then they get to something called "design".

Perhaps more tragically, we are also seeing the 
Americanisation (or perhaps Internationalisation is a kinder term) of poster 
art. More and more the same art is used in all countries as studios and 
distributors recognise both economic rationalisation in their marketing budgets 
for theatrical, and the perceived need to brand their item with the same key art 
right through to the DVD POS materials.

  Jeff,
  
  Excellent! If only your post was just a joke instead of what really 
  happens 90% of the time...
  
  Particularly the bit about the black background posters. I've been 
  noticing that myself for several years -- a totally excessive use of black (or 
  very dark) backgrounds on far too many posters, with a serious lack of 
  imagination in what they plop onto those backgrounds. The same old dramatic 
  headshots... or else the even moredramaticfakey posesof the 
  characters (see the FANTASTIC FOUR advance for a classic really poor example). 
  Not that you didn't have similar head shots and poses on older posters, but 
  when they were done as paintings or drawings, they were done with more talent 
  and soul and worked better. The almost exclusive use of photo elements these 
  days has lead to as long string of boring and look-alike posters, at least for 
  my tastes. Every once in a while we still get a decent poster out of 
  Hollywood, but it's been pretty slim pickin's for quite a while.
  
  Or, as John Stewart might say: "Damn you, Photoshop!"

create a video game but only for teens (that makes everybody want it) a few 
action figures with kongfu grip and g-strings, then put out a director's cut 
of the DVD two weeks later, then a special one year anniversary release DVD 
with one added scene and an !audio commentary by the assistant

Re: [MOPO] KAMELOT AUCTIONS-------additional information

2005-04-14 Thread Twonine5



May I add to Michael's post:

1. The estimates are ridiculous.For example:Heart 
of New York is a re-release of Hallelujah I'm A Bum from the 
1930's.This poster sells from $50 to $300 on ebay from time to 
time. Kamelot has an estimate of $1200 to $1800 and does not state 
it is a re-release. 

2. there is a 20 % (YES 20 per 
cent) buyers premium added to your bid

3. My favorite is as follows:"Neither we, nor the 
consignor are responsible for the accuracy of any printed or verbal 
descriptions."The pictures are poor with borders cropped. Key 
Largo looks like it has tape stains in the lower left corner. The descriptions 
areskimpy and the accuracy is not vouched for as per the description's 
disclaimer.


4. Feedback 93.5%

Re: [MOPO] FRANKENSTEIN ORIGINAL. ANOTHER COLLECTOR GETTING RIPPED OFF

2005-04-14 Thread Al Shevy
You know I made a mistake and admitted it. I apologized LIKE A MAN in
public. I have yet to see ONE PUBLIC APOLOGY from anyone who did the same
thing I DID. I have been a member on here probably longer than most of you.
It has been YEARS. This whole thing is why I HAVEN'T BEEN MORE VOCAL. People
are fast to attack on here(and elsewhere) yet have no GUTS to make amends
when they are wrong. They are GUTLESS. I have received private emails of
support and understanding but NO PUBLIC response. Is it any wonder why this
group stays at 500 and below? I'm not going to drop out or anything but
I will be going back to just reading post and that's about it. And yes I'm
sure some of you are happy about that.

Al,
First of all, maybe my memory fails me, but I don't recall you being
terribly active on this list, so it's likely the good Doctor did not
know he was referencing a MOPO member. But that's hardly what matters
here. Being a MOPO member doesn't guarantee you anything. Perhaps if
you had responded to Dr. V when he wrote you, the two of you could
have discussed this privately. When you didn't respond, the doc felt
motivated to bring the issue up in public, which most of us here
appreciate.
We like being warned about potential problem auctions here on MOPO. It
has saved many of us a lot of money in the past. So, you don't respond
to a private email and thus motivate Dr. V. to post his public
warning... ah, now you respond, but your response doesn't really
address the key issue. Dr. V fully understands the card is a re-issue,
but he believes it to be a reproduction and attempted to inform you
about it. Instead of listening to one of the most respected
authorities in this area you immediately get defensive and start
calling him names? Not a good way to win friends, influence people or
generate bidding interest in your auctions. Much of the time a seller
is not aware that he has a repro, having acquired it himself under the
impression that it was genuine. It's always a disappointment to the
owner if it proves to be otherwise -- and many of us have experienced
that disappointment. But it's best to listen, investigate and find out
the truth rather than get all righteous and indignant and defensive.
That's why we appreciate the long-time expertise of people like Dr. V
and their willingness to take the time and make an effort to keep us
educated and informed. I suggest you get with him and try to work out
just what is the true situation with this card. The kind of post you
just sent to the list isn't going to help your case at all.

First of all THIS BOZO did not refuse to acknowledge ANYTHING. The
card is a R53 as is CLEARLY STATED IN THE DESCRIPTION. It is not a
REPRO but a RERELEASE which ANY COLLECTOR with even the SMALLEST
amount of knowledge of this hobby would know. EBAy only allows so much

This man has had the time to make 9 posts in two days. His posts are 
long and take time to write. Yet he needs up to 30 days to mail a poster 
to a winner. His auctions have ended. Why doesn't he use the time to

is not an attack. I am just thinking out loud.

Ok one last time. The posters WILL ship and they will ship SOONER then 30 
days. Your a jerk. I guess you cant help it you were born that way. Learn to 
INTERPRET WHAT YOU READ. Just for the slow FOLKS like you who need SPECIAL 
SERVICE I will do that for you now. WITHIN means that it can ship from WITHIN 1 
day to 30 days. It may take 30 days and it may NOT. But people would want to 
know this IN CASE IT DOES TAKE 30 days. This DOES NOT MEAN IT TAKES 30 DAYS BUT 
IT COULD. Now for the rest of us who can ABSORB and UNDERSTAND what we read I'm 
sorry I had to waste more of your time because ofSOME SPECIAL PEOPLE on 
MOPO. 

Yes this is sarcastic as can be. I'm sorry but you really are a jerk. You 
really are. 
This is my last post to you sir. And I am sorry for calling you a jerk No I 
take that back. I'm not sorry at all. Happy now.

 It has been YEARS. This whole thing is why I HAVEN'T BEEN MORE VOCAL. People
 are fast to attack on here(and elsewhere) yet have no GUTS to make amends
 when they are wrong. They are GUTLESS. I have received private emails of
 support and understanding but NO PUBLIC response. Is it any wonder why this
 group stays at 500 and below? I'm not going to drop out or anything but
 I will be going back to just reading post and that's about it. And yes I'm
 sure some of you are happy about that.
