Re: [MOPO] Celebrate! MoPo is 28 Years Old!

[David Kusumoto]

People with long memories know that I had a rep as a DAILY sh*t-stirrer, 
chasing bad behavior (including my own), esp. when it came to dishing out harsh 
words about everything from insider-bidding to minty whites to the "alleged 
destruction" of duplicate Outlaw six-sheets and what not.  I think I joined 
this group in mid-1996 - and it was a Brooklyn born San Diego dealer named Herb 
Ross of Cinemagic who coaxed me to join given my wild-ass musings about movies 
first and posters second.  (I don't know where Herb is today, lost touch, but 
what a character; I remember he later told me that he regretted that I joined - 
because during the 90s through the early 2000s - I tended to "blow up things 
and "cause trouble" among dealers giving me the stink eye.)  I've made peace 
with 99 7/8ths of them since.   Got no choice, I don't want anyone hating or 
wanting me to go to hell now that there are fewer years ahead than behind me.)

I used to save ALL of my missives to and from MoPo - until around 2012 or so 
after I started caring for my late Dad - as I think I did a major purge, my 
muckraking years officially over.  I found a few notes I held onto, including 
the little bit of nonsense below, of which there had to be at least 4-5 
DIFFERENT VERSIONS, some more comprehensive than others.  Why I kept this and 
not the others is likely random - and the names referenced were a reflection of 
my changin impressions of each as I saw them each year.  I'm guessing this is 
at least from the mid-2000s and I likely dumped the other versions which 
included names of people who outright tangled with me in public with whom I'm 
peachy-keen now, at least from my end, maybe it's just a one-way street.

(I looked everywhere for the ones involving my fights with A. Rawls and I'm 
sure they're some place.)  I DID keep my personal exchanges with the late great 
Adrian Cowdry, who I still miss terribly.  At any rate, some might be offended 
by what's below but trust me - I've no doubt that these used to be a LOT WORSE. 
I'm actually quite pleased that the version I kept was pretty tame.  Enjoy - 
(or not)! - d.

Movie Poster Channel Lineup for this Sunday:

"CITIZEN TAYLOR" -- An American Experience documentary -- the epic, life-long 
saga about one man's passion to seize and conquer every known Best Picture 
poster, completing his quest in 2007 -- only to shake the collecting world by 
putting them all up for sale a few months later.   Narrated by David 
McCullough.  [TV-G]


"BRUCE ALMIGHTY" -- Starring Bruce Hershenson, rumored to walk on water after 
his remarkable recovery from heart surgery.  Tonight, cameras explore his vast 
following despite occasional mutterings about a "vast lunatic fringe 
conspiracy" against him.  Revisit the beginnings of his titanic decision to 
open a rebel "Millennium Falcon"-like poster sales site to combat incursions by 
eBay's Evil Empire - along with skeptics who openly predicted he would fail. 
[TV-G]

"THE THIRD MAN REDUX" -- Host Philipp Kainbach takes viewers on a tour of 
locations seen in his favorite movie, Carol Reed's, "The Third Man" -- filmed 
in his beloved city of Vienna.  Highlight:  Phillipp will play the theme to 
"The Third Man" on a zither he purchased from a flea market near his home.  
Presented in DTS sound where available.  [TV-G]

"DR. HEIM, MEDICINE WOMAN" -- Sue Heim, a hyper-intellectual speaker with 
advanced degrees, chucks her scientific career and becomes the nation's most 
acclaimed poster framing artisan.  A constant source of remedies which "really 
work," she becomes a nemesis for competing framers after she accepts questions 
and offers her sage advice for FREE.  Jointly sponsored by the Metropolitan 
Museum of Art, Viacom-Paramount, Time-Warner-Warner Bros., Sony-Columbia and 
MCA-Universal.  [TV-G]

"RAIDERS OF THE LOST CAUSE" -- Starring "Michael B," maniacal lover of 
shredded, beat-up and discolored posters "steeped with character."  Tonight's 
episode follows his band of rebels standing on street corners, passing out 
leaflets calling for a "scorched earth" policy against poster restorers 
employed by the Museum of Modern Art in New York.  [TV-14]


"ICONIC IMAGE" -- Host David Lieberman walks audiences through a collection of 
posters -- which he anoints as titles that can go "a long time without one of 
them coming up for sale."  Tonight, he defends his signature marketing line 
about his posters, i.e., "you'll have trouble finding (posters like mine in) 
nicer condition." Also:  Actor Nicholas Cage stops by to inspect the latest in 
Dave's inventory. [TV-G]

"WE'RE NOT CHARLATANS" -- Hosted by two men wearing masks from a studio in in 
Rochester, New York.  Tonight's episode:  A "famed professor" provides an 
exhaustive defense of minty white inserts.  Also defending the professor will 
be author James Frey, who admitted his "non-fiction" bestseller, "A Million 
Little Pieces," was all made up. [TV-MA]

Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static (using AOL name Static555), 
Cindy Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, and myself. Michael, Rob and Evan are

connect with Mahtab (who no longer actively collects but still has occasional 
flare-ups of interest in posters). Cindy sadly left us in 2008, but husband Jay 
is still subscribed.



I’m truly amazed this little group has managed to survive this long. I was 
reasonably young when this adventure started—unfortunately that’s no longer the 
case and time has had (and IS having) it’s way with me. 😊 (I vaguely remember

Hats off to American University for not turning off the lights on the listserv. 
Hats off to all of you for staying with the group.



Happy Birthday to us!

I saved some emails from the MoPo Listserve in a folder. The earliest one I
could find saved was in January 2002 when people were telling us what was
on their walls. There was a Eugene Hughes linenbacking email as well.
I know I have searched the MoPo archives in the past. Is that still
possible?

Re: [MOPO] Celebrate! MoPo is 28 Years Old!

[Scott Burns]

Ah, the notorious Minty Whites. This from the MoPo Archive, posted in 2007:

 


[MOPO] also tired of minty whites discussion? 


Level 909 Mon, 18 Jun 2007 12:09:34 -0700 

I have seen so much messages on the Minty Whites in the past few days that i 
have had enough of the "Minty" opinions and mudslings. My inbox is getting 
filled with the same discussions that have been going on for ages. Maybe it 
would be a good idea to only post on these "Minty Whites" unless some REAL new 
information on these posters comes up. 

 
just wondered if anyone feels the same.

 

The good old days at MoPo…when mudslinging was the norm and the “Lunatic 
Fringe” often would run amuck.

MoPo’ers:

 

Today marks the 28th anniversary of the first official MoPo post via the 
American University listserv.

 

February 24, 1995—seems like ages ago!

 

No surprise here: It’s time for my annual recognition of those 11 first-day 
MoPo members: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh 
Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static (using AOL name Static555), 
Cindy Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, and myself. Michael, Rob and Evan are 
still here. I’ve tried to track down the other originals, but only managed to 
connect with Mahtab (who no longer actively collects but still has occasional 
flare-ups of interest in posters). Cindy sadly left us in 2008, but husband Jay 
is still subscribed.

 

I’m truly amazed this little group has managed to survive this long. I was 
reasonably young when this adventure started—unfortunately that’s no longer the 
case and time has had (and IS having) it’s way with me. 😊 (I vaguely remember

Re: [MOPO] Celebrate! MoPo is 28 Years Old!

[Colin Hunter]

Here’s to MoPo and especially to Captain Scott, who continues to keep us on 
course and maintains the delicate task of benign management of our sometimes 
(but only sometimes) rumbustious members.

Happy Birthday MoPo!

Congratulations Scott
From memory, I initially joined about 20 years ago and I particularly remember 
a spirited discussion about minty whites. Many thanks for keeping it all going 
after such a long time.

MoPo’ers:

Today marks the 28th anniversary of the first official MoPo post via the 
American University listserv.

February 24, 1995—seems like ages ago!

No surprise here: It’s time for my annual recognition of those 11 first-day 
MoPo members: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh 
Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static (using AOL name Static555), 
Cindy Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, and myself. Michael, Rob and Evan are 
still here. I’ve tried to track down the other originals, but only managed to 
connect with Mahtab (who no longer actively collects but still has occasional 
flare-ups of interest in posters). Cindy sadly left us in 2008, but husband Jay 
is still subscribed.

I’m truly amazed this little group has managed to survive this long. I was 
reasonably young when this adventure started—unfortunately that’s no longer the 
case and time has had (and IS having) it’s way with me. 😊 (I vaguely remember 
having a hairline once.)

Hats off to American University for not turning off the lights on the listserv. 
Hats off to all of you for staying with the group.

Truly a great accomplishment Scott to have managed this so well ..including
times when there was a lot of bickering among participants..the hairline
recedes but MOPO continues forward ..all the best in the future ..Alan

February 24, 1995—seems like ages ago!

 

No surprise here: It’s time for my annual recognition of those 11 first-day 
MoPo members: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh 
Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Jeff Static (using AOL name Static555),

[MOPO] Just 3 days left to send consignments to our great April Major Auction!

[Bruce Hershenson]

*TODAY was SUPPOSED TO BE the last day in which to SEND your consignments
to eMoviePoster.com's April Major Auction, but I will give all of you until
Monday to send items, but then that is it, and consigning is completely
closed!So MONDAY is the very last day for you to send consignments to our
great April Major Auction (you must have your consignments ON THEIR WAY TO
US either today or Monday the 27th)!We want to make our April Major Auction
another wonderful auction, and we already have many hundreds of items
consigned to it (and ALL of the items
at https://www.emovieposter.com/learnmore/?page=consign_major#2023april
 WILL
be in this great auction)! BUT YOUR CONSIGNMENTS MUST BE ON THEIR WAY TO US
(NOT arrive here!) NO LATER THAN FEBRUARY 27TH, THREE DAYS FROM THIS
WRITING!WHY did we extend the deadline until Monday? Because several
consignors contacted us that they couldn't send today, but COULD send
Monday, and we made an exception for them, and to be fair, we are making an
exception for everyone!And as always, what most distinguishes us from EVERY
other auction (aside from having no reserves OR buyers premiums and
completely honest auctions AND we charge far lower commissions than all
other major auctions and also get the highest prices overall, when you
compare "apples to apples and oranges to oranges"!) is that we go out of
our way to find true rarities that either have never been at auction
before, or which have only been seen once or twice before (which is
immediately apparent when you look at the preview images below)!Why consign
anywhere else when you can consign to the very best and most trusted
auction there is (as we have proven, over and over, for 33 solid years)? Do
you really want to gamble on another auction, which may make promises they
can't keep, or have hidden "fine print", etc, etc? You KNOW how we are when
you BUY from us. If you have never consigned to us before, know that we
also treat everyone 100% honestly when they CONSIGN to us!Given the
sensational results we received in ALL of our Major Auctions last year and
(and also our "regular" auctions as well), doesn't it make sense to consign
some or all of your top items that you are willing to sell, so they can be
in this April Major Auction, when we absolutely have the most (and best)
buyers of quality material we have ever had?Don't delay. Consign today!
Remember that your items only have to be ON THEIR WAY to us on Monday the
27th, so you can get them ready over the next three days and then send them
Monday. This is absolutely going to be another wonderful auction!*
