Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks
Who can defend $13.00 popcorn-packs? But, honestly, someone should sue the producers for unjust sharing of film revenues with the exhibitors. It's been this way for years. A few percentage points in the exhibitors favor and they could well afford to make popcorn $2.00 a box. Or some such price.

Gas is heavy, so your car will get better gas mileage with less weight (only filling to half a tank). But the gas will have more room to evaporate into that half of a tank. I've heard that filling up in the morning is best when it is cooler. My two cents.

It is recommended that we DO remain filled up or close to it at certain times of the year. Otherwise, gasoline evaporates in the tank do to excessive heat in summertime. Which is the correct method?? Since I've personally almost evaporated in summer around here, I think I'll try to follow that advice. Joe B in NOLA This is really interesting! At 09:28 PM 3/5/2012, Classic Movies wrote: Thanks! That's partially true, but here are some additional comments from an expert on how to save: * Fill the tank full. If you need to fill up, fill up all the way. The more money you try to save by adding $10 today and then $20 tomorrow will be wasted since each time you will have to travel to the station and wait for a pump. Instead, do it all at once to save time and money. * Don't top up your tank between fills. It is wasted money and bad for the environment because it invariably forces liquid fuel into the evaporative emissions system where it overwhelms circuits that are supposed to only route fuel tank vapors to the engine while it is running and can be burned. * Wait until you have a quarter tank but don't push this any further. Doing this can extend your gas mileage because you are hauling a lighter fuel load. It also gives you the opportunity to buy more gas if you run across a bargain. However, in cold weather, you run an increased risk of condensation in the fuel tank. Running a car with less than a quarter tank can shorten the life of the electric fuel pump and running on empty will often destroy the pump.

Now might be a good time to take advantage of our free listings and give us a try. www.MoviePosterExchange.com I just did two interviews today with mainstream publications who look like they are going to run stories about our site and the Metropolis 3-sheet. If you'd like to get your poster out in front of eyes that don't usually look at posters, this could be an excellent opportunity. We've had several people sign up this past week and over 100 items have been added to the site in that time, but obviously we would love to see a lot more. A few sales have happened and I see lots of people using the offer/counter-offer system and trying to make deals. I would also like to point out we have a Want List system for users, where if you add titles/keywords to your want list, you will get an email letting you know the minute someone lists something that matches it. Peter and I have been very pleased with all the support we've received for our new venture, so thanks to everyone who has been checking us out.

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks
Theaters make next to nothing on the admission tickets. The cost of food and drinks keep them going. If families/individuals cannot afford the concessions they should stay away from them. How about the cost of the video games? When I go to the theaters I see those rooms filled to capacity with mostly school age students spending lots of money for a minute or two worth of play. Big bucket of popcorn and largest sodas usually include free refills. Certain nights there is unlimited popcorn for one price.

Re: [MOPO] If you were thinking about selling a poster...
Sean- If the listing says lobby cards but not set is it always just the single card pictured? I see some listings with insanely high prices for not-at-all rare cards, (eg: $1650 for a card from When World's Collide.) I'm thinking, this has to be a error with an extra zero in the price, or a price for the set (though here even that would be way way overvalued). So is this just someone trolling for a sucker? I like the site and there's some great stuff there--can;'t wait to see it grow. But the first time through I stopped looking after seeing so many not just high but nutso-high prices. -Tom On Wed, Mar 7, 2012 at 9:49 AM, Sean Linkenback s...@platinumposters.com wrote: Now might be a good time to take advantage of our free listings and give us a try. www.MoviePosterExchange.com I just did two interviews today with mainstream publications who look like they are going to run stories about our site and the Metropolis 3-sheet.

I agree though, it's a great site and I will be back often as I always welcome anything that can expand and add to the hobby. I consigned stuff with Sean a few years ago and was very happy so if I need to make some money in order that I may make an offer that matters...maybe I'll be listing!

Re: [MOPO] If you were thinking about selling a poster...
Hi Sean, I picked up the Dark Passage title card and had a very nice conversation on the phone with Pete last night. When I paid the invoice there were 2 charges for shipping - which I assumed was shipping plus a handling/processing fee. After I paid - within 10 minutes - Pete called to say that there was a bug in the checkout logic and he was reversing one of the charges. Bruce has mentioned many times on MOPO the importance of customer service vs. the quick buck; eMoviePoster has become a site that I not only check every week but also recommend to my friends. MoviePosterExchange is a well designed site with nice materialbut when I feel I can trust the people I'm dealing with...that engenders a type of loyalty that lasts far beyond any one sale.

Re: [MOPO] If you were thinking about selling a poster...
Hi Tom, Great question and the answer is a definite it depends. Lobby cards of course is the size indicator and pulling up the listing, I can see from the description it is a complete set. There is also an indicator below the photo that says 8 images which you can click on to see large scans of alll the cards. Is it expensive? Perhaps, but i've certainly seen sales that I thought were even crazier. It is certainly true we have some great singles and sets listed right now - Abbott amp; Costello Meet Frankenstein, King Kong, and many others. Definitely worth checking out.

Re: [MOPO] If you were thinking about selling a poster...
I think Tom had a good point. I would say it is sometimes difficult to know if the price is for one lobby or multiple lobbies. I think each refers to lobby cards. Yet sometimes there is just one and other times there is a set. This is probably an easy fix, but I too found that a little confusing. No criticism meant, just a little tweaking needed.

Re: [MOPO] If you were thinking about selling a poster...
I think the site is interesting and should be welcomed. I wince at it all being pegged to the news that there is a Metropolis 3sheet for sale at $850,000. Is this not the same Metropolis 3sheet that was for sale at Majestic posters (and indeed on Ebay) for $2m? And, if so, shouldn't the news be that a rare poster has apparently halved in value? For me, this is not any kind of news until someone pays for it. But I will monitor the site and hope that it's a success for everyone involved and for the hobby.

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks
Yes, that's my point, Steve. They should make something on the ticket price and lower the cost of those concessions. I've heard exhibitors complain about it for years.

Re: [MOPO] If you were thinking about selling a poster...
Hi Mike. Thanks so much for the kind words. I enjoyed our conversation as well. I honestly feel that although we deal in product(s), at the end of the day this really is a service business and should be approached as such. FYI-The logic has already been fixed by our programmers. -Peter From: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of MICHAEL ARCHIBALD Sent: Wednesday, March 07, 2012 12:53 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] If you were thinking about selling a poster... Hi Sean, I picked up the Dark Passage title card and had a very nice conversation on the phone with Pete last night. When I paid the invoice there were 2 charges for shipping - which I assumed was shipping plus a handling/processing fee. After I paid - within 10 minutes - Pete called to say that there was a bug in the checkout logic and he was reversing one of the charges. Bruce has mentioned many times on MOPO the importance of customer service vs. the quick buck; eMoviePoster has become a site that I not only check every week but also recommend to my friends.

Re: [MOPO] If you were thinking about selling a poster...
Hi Jim-None taken. We most certainly welcome feedback. I would ask that anyone who has any interest please give us feedback and help us improve the site as much as possible. Regarding the lobby cards, we set the size description as Lobby Cards rather than having two size descriptions Lobby Cards and Lobby Card Sets. As sean points out, if you select the item there is a fairly prominent link in red that states the number of images. It obviously is in the description as well. It is up to the consignor to put LCS in the item title. You raise a good point however and sean and I will discuss. If you have some specific suggestions let me know.

Re: [MOPO] If you were thinking about selling a poster...
I would agree with Jim... would it be possible to have all the images simply load at the bottom of the page? Or if that would take too much bandwidth, maybe just small versions so it is clear buyers that there are more images? I know you have a big read link to the additional images that, in theory, should be obvious. However, I missed it myself when I uploaded a second image to one of my auctions. It took me a bit to realize why it wasn't showing up and how to find it... Just nitpicks though... great site! I already listed a few items and I'll be putting up more soon.

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks
I'm sorry, I think you've forgotten what you learned in your econ classes. The price of popcorn is not related to the percentage of the gate.

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks
I learned this in econ classes: I don't pay thirteen bucks for popcorn! And I think that the exhibitors would sell a lot more of it if it was cheaper. And a more equitable split between the producers and the exhibitors would allow them to shift the price point on popcorn, drinks and everything to increase their volume.

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks
I agree with Evan, they never lower prices, they just hook larger profits when their costs go down if the film companies did an 80/20 split, they would raise the cost of the distribution to cover the 10% loss and tickets would be another dollar or two and you would still be getting screwed. it is a no-win situation I would think you guys to understand corporate monetary policy by now I stopped eating concession stand food a long time ago..

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks
We don't even go to the movies anymore. The only reason we would go was to see a 3D movie which we couldn't at home at that time. Now I have a 55 inch 3D TV - (I got it for free, worked in retail and was one the top salesman) so, no reason for that anymore. In fact, the cost of a 3D Blu-ray disc is cheaper than for two people to see the movie. I also plan on getting a 3D 1080p front projector when my bulb dies on my 720p front projector (that is not 3D). But, I am flying to LA in September to see 60 year old Cinerama movies. I know.

Re: [MOPO] Man Sues over cost of Movie Snacks
When I was going to movies as a kid under 12 (I turned that in 1955), I went to the two first-run theatres in town and paid 25 cents for admission. At the second-run theate that played double features and had our Saturday kiddie matinee it was 10 cents for the movie, 10 cents for the popcorn and 5 cents for a coke. With the same 5 cents for bus fare each way, I could spend Saturday at the movies for a total of 35 cents!!! And believe me, those Roy Rogers and Jungle Jim movies were worth it! Along with the cartoon, the obligatory serial (everything from Rocket Man to Clyde Beatty), the occasional short, previews (loved 'em!) and even the newsreel. Were those better days at the movies Well, I think so. No stereo, special effects and still boisterous kids- but NO flashing lights and silly ring-tones from the then unheard-of cell phones. But when CinemaScope came along, I became a grown-up moviegoer. Those were indeed the days! Joe B PS- The fresh-popped popcorn was sooo much better!! Just the smell could draw you in from a block away.

I see a lot of people buying high priced snacks when we go to the movies. I guess if you can afford it, why not?

The price of popcorn is not related to the percentage of the gate. They would charge $100 for a small popcorn if the audience would pay it. Certainly you don't believe that if the studios reduced their percentage, the theaters would charge less, do you?? Really??

They should make something on the ticket price and lower the cost of those concessions. I've heard exhibitors complain about it for years. The studios are greedy on this point. Of course, they have their reasons but the business model for movies is out of whack in my view.
