Good Morning Erik, Vicki, all! Erik, I think I remember the AC/DC oneuse to drive me nuts!

[MOPO] MoPo's Second Decade: The Big Question
Title: MoPo's Second Decade: The Big Question I posed this issue earlier this year when the Brokeback discussions were hot and heavy. I was surprised at the lack of response. As MoPo enters it's second decade on Feb. 24th, where do we want this group to go? Are you all satisfied with the way things are and the rules we impose? Should we open things up and be more of a community of people who share a common interest in movie posters but want more from each other? Here's what the FAQ says about posting (to refresh your memories): 1) Personal attacks of any kind will not be tolerated. This includes name-calling, innuendo, insults or gossip. 2) Off-topic posts are not permitted. There are ample places on the Internet to discuss politics, religion, sex or any other issue. Posts to MoPo should be related to movies, movie memorabilia, and the people who collect it. Obviously rule 1 is a good one. (Mr. Hershenson is happy for that one!) But lately I've begun to wonder if the iron-clad on-topic rule is such a good one. While I consider JR a friend and I value his opinion, lately he has been the single person banging the drum about staying on topic. I admit I've let things wander a bit. I did so on purpose to see how MoPo might change. As long as our discussions have movies as their BASE, I've been quiet. I've found the discussions brought about by Brokeback and King Kong to be some of the most interesting things I've read on this forum in quite some time. I also actually enjoyed finding out the first poster many of you acquired (again sorry, JR, perhaps the poll was not right on target, but it elicited posts that were worthwhile). Is it for the better? Please, regulars and lurkers, let me know what you think. MoPo is often criticized on some of the other boards, like Not Suitable For General Exhibition and Movie Poster Forum for being nothing more than eBay ads and an occasional want list. While not exactly a true description, it doesn't stray far from the reality of our group. I have to admit I really enjoy reading those other boards and I've been welcomed on them by their administrators (thanks Ari, Phil, Andy) and their members (many of whom are also on MoPo). The atmosphere is different than MoPo, especially NSFGE! :) I think MPF has suffered some of the same controversies we've had on MoPo concerning suitable posts and that has created some personality clashes and member defections. But these boards are growing, with NSFGE at 232 members and MPF at 478 (about the same as MoPo). The newest board is Movie Poster Chat with about 82 members. Perhaps because MoPo is an e-mail based discussion group the concern at opening things up a bit is the possibility of an overflowing inbox. If that's the case, a switch to DIGEST mode can offer you a single e-mail daily. Or read the posts via the mail-archive. One of the reasons (probably the only reason) Style-B was created by Donnie Sullivan in Nov. 2004 was the enforcement of the infamous MoPo rules that limited what could be posted. That was a bad time for our group and it created a lot of ill-will among people. At the time I will admit I was nearly ready to throw in the towel and shut MoPo down. While I'm not a member of Style-B, Donnie and I did settle our differences and I wish him and his now *very* small group well. MoPo's not the only game in town anymore. Our subscriber count has stayed fairly constant. Do we need to change? Should we stay as we are? Are any of you bored, thrilled, awake?? I just throw this out for discussion. But I would like to hear from the 400 of you who never say anything. I know you're out there.reading. So for once voice an opinion. Oh and I'm not picking on JR. He just one of the few who posts his opinions and I appreciate that. I wish the rest of the silent membership would do the same. Your turn.

Re: [MOPO] MoPo's Second Decade: The Big Question
Hello Scott and All, Frankly, I found JR's comments surprising and sort of ridiculous..The fun stuff I have been seeing on MOPO for the last week or so has been the most enjoyable I have seen for many monthsAlthough I have once in a great while made a few comments on MOPO, I've never be motivated to enter the discussions.I find these talks quite to the contrary.For example, the First Poster Purchased question obviously is on topic unless your a strict-constructionist it certainly does indeed open to the whole area of collecting. My god man, it is what got ya started The graphic, the genre, the star, the director, the reasons are infinite and that is what movie collecting is all about...It brought up discussion of who we are and where we came from and what was then compared to what is now Point being Scott and all, I have not seen one thing on this site that is off topic and even if I did, I would have absolutely no problem with it.Let's have a little broad interpretation of our MOPO constitution...(although, past discussion has not required that); I believe the _expression_ is, lighten up...( I was running the ole Simplex 35mm projectors in 1954; 2 projectors at a time when Charge At Feather River came out/3D) and loved this stuff every since...(is this off topic?).Vaughn/Cinema Recall At 11:25 AM 2/4/2006 -0500, Scott Burns wrote: I posed this issue earlier this year when the Brokeback discussions were hot and heavy.

Re: [MOPO] MoPo's Second Decade: The Big Question
Title: MoPo's Second Decade: The Big Question Hi Scott and all, I like the MoPo group. I don't mind the occasional ads for selling posters. If I'm not interested or don't have the time, I delete them. But sometimes I have a quick look and have found some nice pieces. I think trying to keep on topic can be difficult sometimes. While it may start off "movie based", sometimes topics proliferate into political or social issues. I like that because it starts interesting conversation. I enjoy hearing other people's opinions, especially since I know something about them from previous "on topic" posts. It gives me, perhaps, a more rounded idea of who they really are. Obviously, when one goes off on a tangent, that may be where you, Scott, have to step in and remind we are getting way off topic. That's your call. I thought the discussionsabout Brokeback have been fascinating. I was surprised by some of the posts, but it has been very interesting. A little controversy can be healthy. I don't think an occasional stray from "on topic" is so bad. I have come to think of many on our group as "friends" and sometimes you just need to say what you need to say!

Re: [MOPO] MoPo's Second Decade: The Big Question
I think it is fine the way it has been running. Occasionally the need to clarify rules will arise, but overall it has been running very well and yes, these topics recently have been very interesting. No need to sterilize MOPO, maybe encourage good definitions in the subject line so that people that dont want to read it all can easily delete when needed.

[MOPO] Re Does MOPO Need Fixing?
Scott, The site is completely satisfying from where I sit. I think the occasional tangents are on the whole welcome and in general stay pretty well in check ormembers doindeed call FLAG ON THE PLAY and discussion halts rather abruptly. JR isn't the only one, there are others, myself included who prefer to cautiondirectly to the posting member. Scott,I feel mostpeople who have remained onMopo as this subject has been covered many times before think open questions regarding political, religious and lifestyle topics are inappropriate.. But using Brokeback as an example most observationsin the past days and weeks were okay until the recentopen endedand obvious answer of theChad Allen casting in a Christian filmcausing fringe religious group objections. THE BROKEBACKMOUNTAIN dialogue and observationssimply mirrored the phenomenon many print and broadcast outlets are evaluating, with discussion of demographics,marketing and the like..and because of it, you can bet there were at least a dozen dealers who proceeded to stock up on the film's poster because of the participation and thoughtful observations by so manyon MOPO, realizingit would not be a stretch to say its a subject among the poster cognoscenti outside as well. And that means poster sales. I recently submitted the Joan Crawford video mega-mix link. Its a tangent that I felt a majority would get a kick out of. I would therefore hate to see MOPO so straight jacketed as tohave such amusements leached out completely. Scott carry on and thank you very much to boot. I have had probably more luck and success than anyone selling posters directlyon MOPO. At last count it was over 20 grand in 3 years..yet only14posters total.

[MOPO] Al Lewis
I'll never forget going to Grandpa Munsters Restaurant in Greenwich Village in the early 90's while selling toys at a collectable show. Lewis was making the rounds, table to table, asking how the food was, how the service was. The main fare served was Italian. When Mr Lewis saw that I was eating anchovies, black olives, capers, over angel hair pasta, he said "you must be a real I-talian!" I got up to shake his hand and he grabs ahold of me and annouces to everyone in the place " Hey! This guy's a real I-talian and he says the food is great!!" Then everyone clapped. Al Lewis was quite the character, there will never be another Grandpa Munster. We'll miss you Al.

The Castle Film digest of the final sequence from NEVER GIVE A SUCKER AN EVEN BREAK was excerpted as HURRY HURRY and was also available as a 16mm sound print. Kirby McDaniel www.movieart.net On Feb 4, 2006, at 1:21 PM, michael king wrote: Hello everyone... I have found the discussions of the last few weeks to be most entertaining and enlightening. The lively response to postings on BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN and Your First Poster show the power of the movies (and their ancillary materials) to open us up to topics which we wouldn't ordinarily consider. All of us grow in the process and Scott deserves a big hand for his sensitivity and tact in creating a forum for us to express ourselves freely. In a way, he is our teacher and we his sometime unruly students. As a fraternity of sorts, our communications only bring us closer together. If we were all lists of poster wants and auctions, it wouldn't be as much fun. Still, there must be rules, or we would dissolve into chaos. In my opinion, Scott gives us just enough structure to be creative. By the way, I have been slow to communicate My First Poster, which was... THE BANK DICK (1940), a 1949 Reissue One Sheet, purchased in 1949 from NSS-Boston, for 50 cents. As the operator of a basement movie theatre in my family's house, I needed it for a display to advertise my offering, a Castle Films 16mm silent digest of THE BANK DICK, entitled (I believe) THE GREAT CHASE (or maybe it was HURRY HURRY). Anyway, the poster no longer exits, as I cut out the W.C. Fields caricature to incorporate into a hand painted display, inspired by the elaborate marquee and lobby constructions created by sho-card artists for the Boston first-run theatres. It wasn't until the 60s Pop Art movement that I started collecting movie posters for the sake of collecting and displaying them. At the time, I thought I would serve out my retirement by going to paper collectibles shows to gradually sell off my stuff. Given the price of gas these days, I'm delighted to handle it all online.

[MOPO] My Trip to LA
2/4/2005 Hey MOPOers -- I had an eventful trip to LA. I went to the Collectors Show in Burbank and saw several celebrities. I was able to get some autographs I'd been looking for. First off, I finally have Connie Stevens' autograph on my one-sheet for PALM SPRINGS WEEKEND. I'd already had it signed by Troy Donahue before his death so this was a wonderful treat. I had Russ Tamblyn sign my half-sheet for WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM (w/great artwork by Reynold Brown, if I'm not mistaken). Finally, Tab Hunter signed my one-sheet for LAFAYETTE ESCADRILLE. He was particularly nice and very real -- I volunteered to watch his table while he went to the john. My friends and I went over to West Hollywood that afternoon to attend the memorial service for Shelly Winters at her favorite coffee shop, THE SILVER SPOON. This is a real greasy spoon from the 1960s/70s right on Santa Monica Blvd. No celebrities there, with the exception of media maven Mr. Blackwell of worst dressed list fame. I enjoyed the small shrine they set up for Shelley next to the buffet -- it had a glossy black-and-white photo of her plus a plate with her favorite meal of, I kid you not, ham and eggs. That night, we retired to the bar at the Burbank Airport Hilton and watched a rather debonair Dean Stockwell play pool with a bimbo as a rather boozy Michael Madsen watched. The next morning we spent a little more time at the show. It was fun to put some faces with some names -- most exciting, of course was Mr. Freeman Fisher, having a table at the show for the first time. I would have enjoyed talking with him a bit more but he was always swamped with the better customers! The rest of the trip was perhaps the best part -- sitting in the hot tub and by the pool in a very nice 80 degrees Palm Springs. The only sad part about that experience was that when I went with my friend to see a movie at the local art house one night, we were automatically given senior tickets @ $6. each. Pretty cheap but I don't look that old -- however everyone's a senior in Palm Springs! The movie, by the way, was a German film about a kid in a Nazi Military School around 1942. The German name of the film is NAPOLA. The US title was BEFORE THE FALL. Very strong, powerful moviemaking.

Re: [MOPO] My Trip to LA
I was fortunate to attend the 61st AA, when Kevin Klein won for A Fish Called Wanda. You may recall that one of the other nominees was Dean Stockwell, for Married to the Mob. I happened to be walking back into the main theater from the bar immediately after the announcement for Kevin Klein. As I walked in Dean Stockwell came storming out, looked at me and said, who the hell is Kevin Klein. He wasn't quite as debonair at that moment.

Congrats, Scott! I'm with Sue Heim on this one. Toochis --- Susan Heim [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: MoPo's Second Decade: The Big QuestionHi Scott and all, I like the MoPo group. I don't mind the occasional ads for selling posters. If I'm not interested or don't have the time, I delete them. But sometimes I have a quick look and have found some nice pieces. I think trying to keep on topic can be difficult sometimes. While it may start off movie based, sometimes topics proliferate into political or social issues. I like that because it starts interesting conversation. I enjoy hearing other people's opinions, especially since I know something about them from previous on topic posts. It gives me, perhaps, a more rounded idea of who they really are. Obviously, when one goes off on a tangent, that may be where you, Scott, have to step in and remind we are getting way off topic. That's your call. I thought the discussions about Brokeback have been fascinating. I was surprised by some of the posts, but it has been very interesting. A little controversy can be healthy.

[MOPO] Really Most Sincerely Dead... The Wizard of Oz and the Munchkin Coroner...
Hi there, Just thought I would mention to anyone living in the Indianapolis, Indiana area that four of the nine remaining Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz will be at the Hollywood Bar Filmworks theatre from the 18th, 19th, and 20th of February. The Munchkins will be in the lobby before and after the film is shown, which is three times a day at noon, 2 4 p.m., to sell their pictures and chat with film fans. The Munchkin Coroner, Meinhardt Raabe is the eldest--at age ninety and a half and will also be selling the book he and I wrote called, Memories of a Munchkin: An Illustrated Walk Down the Yellow Brick Road (www.memoriesofamunckin.com) As usual, I am stuck doing my Navy duties and will be unable to attend, but my mom will be there with Mr. Raabe and it will be the first (of many to come) event he attends this year. 2006 marks the 150th year since both the original book's author, L. Frank Baum, and illustrator W.W. Denslow were born (both 1856) and helps fuel the Ozmania along with a Judy Garland stamp that will come out in June (her birth month.) Mr. Raabe has a great image from his lobby card that he sells (it was from the original that he owns and I had it done professionally for him) and signs for anyone interested. As a poster fan, I was able to show all of the first release posters from the film inside the book-even the glass slide, so I think one or two MOPO'rs might be interested in seeing the book and meeting Mr. Raabe in person. See the below website for further information: http://filmworksonline.com/const.htm Take care. Best, Daniel Kinske, Lt., U.S.N.

Re: [MOPO] MoPo's Second Decade: The Big Question
Scott - As you know, I've been on MOPO since Day One, and I think the rules are fine, yet the flexibility and stretching of the ideas here are what has made it fun. So, as someone else said - It ain't broke. Also, I finally saw Brokeback Mt. last night. I was deeply disappointed. Yes, there was great acting and pretty scenery that was beautifully photographed. But the movie was so slow and boring that I found myself looking at my watch after the first 40 minutes. My wife felt the same way. I guess that something that is based on a short story would be better as a short movie!
