Stupendous story Joe, I can only hope this story gets picked nationally,
well more nationally than MOPO. This recalls that spectacular blog of the
girl that grew to be a young physician that stayed friends through letters
with John Hughes. While reclusive and troubled in his later years in
sharing her great story with the world it added a wonderful insight to a
life
well lived, and kindness irrespective of other issues. So thanks for
sharing

joebom...@yahoo.com writes:
Hi from Joe.
Hope some of you won't mind on OT tale. Delete if you aren't interested.
I guess in the wake of the loss of Dennis Hopper, I should tell the story
of my connection again. I'm pretty sure I've told it before
In 1967, as I've told many times, I worked on the Sunset Strip at a
restaurant/pizzeria/coffee house called first, Angelo's, then Mama Yuro's
and, finally, Mother's. The place was leased to partners but was owned by
Elmer Valentine and Mario (of the Whisky)-- and I believe Steve McQueen had
a hand in it. (I also believe the esteemed Greg Douglass was a customer as
well, but we didn't know each other!)
During the early part of that summer ('67), Dennis Hopper and Peter Fonda
started hanging out on our front sidewalk patio, often with Lou Adler,
John and Michelle Phillips and other music folk from across the street
(offices in the 9000 Sunset building) and the Whisky a-Go-Go which was down
the
street on the corner.
Dennis was already affecting the bearded, long-haired look that was to
become iconic. I didn't recognize him the first time I waited on them.
During their visit, I overheard someone calling him, Dennis, and realized
after awhile who he was. I had always liked him (particularly in Giant) and
told him so.
Hopper liked joshing folks and he pretended he didn't know who I thought
he was and that I was mistaken. I caught on and told him he was right, that
I WAS indeed mistaken and that I really finally recognized him as Sal
Mineo. This started something.
Over the next few weeks, anytime Dennis and Company came in, I waited on
them, calling him Sal all the time, confusing the hell out of his friends
and amusing the hell out of Dennis.
It culminated one day when a girl who was with them was giving Dennis a
hard time. Just as she finished letting him have a verbal assault, I leaned
over to deliver something and said to her, You ought to be nice to him.
I saw him in 'Exodus' and he was damned good! That was it! Hopper fell
on the floor in hysterics, the girl fumed and we all had a huge laugh.
Some two years later I was working in the Mineo production of Fortune
Men's Eyes at the Coronet Theatre on La Cieniga Blvd, when one day the
stage manager, Len Marsal ( _http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0550348/_
(http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0550348/) ), asked me if I used to work on the
Sunset Strip
at this place, etc., and when I said yes, Len said, Goddammit, YOU'RE the
one!
What do you mean? I asked.
Anyway, it turns out that Dennis Hopper had remembered me and when they
were putting together the team to shoot Easy Rider, probably during 1968,
he sent Lenny (who was to be second asst. director on Easy Rider) looking
for ME on the Strip. I was not to be found.
Needless to say, it was another case of Joe's idiotic inability to stay
put. Had I still been in L.A. (I was in MS at the time) and Lenny had found
me, I would have worked on and probably been IN Easy Rider.
Lenny said that Dennis had said that since that guy from the Strip
restaurant was a southerner, it would be a good idea to have someone like me
along for communication purposes in those days when long-hairs like Dennis
and Peter were not particularly welcome in some places where shooting was
planned. Indeed, in those days, the ending of Easy Rider was certainly a
possiblity in real life.
But I was gone from the Strip- so, no Easy Rider for Joe.
That incident and the fact that I was once again in Mississippi after the
NYC production of Fortune and Men's Eyes and was unable to be found to do
a speaking part in the movie (arghhh!).
well, that's another thing.
Oh, well. I'm still young! I'll only be 67 this July-- two days before
Mick Jagger turns the same age (and the same day (7/23) that Dan
Radcliffe-- Harry Potter-- will be 21 (the little bastard ). And I ain't
finished
yet!!!
R.I.P, Dennis Hopper! You were the last of a unique Hollywood breed and
you will indeed be missed!!
Joe
PS-- It is fitting and proper that Dennis Hopper finally got that deserved
star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame--- even if it was less than three
months before his death.
Sal Mineo, nominated twice for the Oscar by age 20 and a friend of
Hopper's, is still awaiting HIS Hollywood Walk of Fame star--- almost 35 years
after his tragic murder--- mugged
[MOPO] OT RIP Dennis Hopper
I guess everyone saw this coming especially his frail presence at his Walk Of Fame celebration, but Dennis Hopper hours ago passed away. LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood actor Dennis Hopper, best known for directing and starring in the 1969 cult classic “Easy Rider,” died Saturday at his home in Venice, California, from complications of prostate cancer, a friend told Reuters. Hopper was 74. The hard-living screen icon died at 8:15 a.m. PDT , surrounded by family and friends, said the friend, Alex Hitz.

Re: [MOPO] Fantastic Political Poster $10k est., (Not Movie) on Heritage
Brek This is so funny that you pointed out the parade saddle. I had noticed some weeks ago as it reminds me of my growing up in San Antonio. The rodeo was always held at the Joe and Harry Freeman Coliseum. My parents (especially my Mom, quite the horsewoman and showed quarter horses) were very close friends of the two brothers that started the San Antonio Livestock Exhibition (hence the source of my first name when I was adopted) and going to the rodeo until a young adult. As a kid, I used to be mesmerized by these saddles during the opening of each rodeo, the incredible craftsmanship was a marvel to young eyes as I would go to the barns and watch the owners carefully polishing their saddles with utmost care and pride. Then during the procession of the trail riders before each performance, when the spotlights would hit the leads atop these saddles, they would literally gleam like the treasures they truly are. As a kid I knew they were expensive but had no idea they were THAT expensive! Whoa! Now the rodeo is held in the same soul less stadium the Spurs play that sits next to the old Joe and Harry Freeman Coliseum (obviously more seats) but all the barns and stalls that my Mom had helped design surrounding are still in use. This year, she was inducted into the Hall Of Fame, only the second woman in the exhibitions history to be so honored. freeman fisher In a message dated 5/6/2010 8:23:11 A.M.

Re: [MOPO] Bad news ebay buyer alert
Hey, hey hey, this is a no disrespect to Marie Dressler zoneread the rules! She would have NEVER been at a sexual free-for-all (unless there was a gin fountain and a free buffet) Some of her better quotes: You're only as good as your last picture. If ants are such busy workers, how come they find time to go to all the picnics? Old age is an insult. It's like being smacked. I'm too homely for a prima donna and too ugly for a soubrette. And of course these four from DINNER AT EIGHT If there's one thing I know, it's men. I ought to. It's been my life's work. That's the unfortunate thing about death. It's so terribly final. Even the young can't do anything about it. And then I had a restful, nice luncheon... with 4 lawyers. On the 88th floor of the Watson's building. You know, the sky club.

[MOPO] Related LA MODERNISM SHOW
Hey Mopoers! Freeman here. I have been enlisted to assist Walter Reuben and Woolsey Ackerman in preparing (okay I'll say it, a spectacular) booth for Walterfilm at the LA MODERNISM SHOW this weekend at the Barker Hanger at the Santa Monica Airport. For anyone in the LA area who wants to see a very large selection of his collection (at least 80%) in person this is a singularly great opportunity. I cannot begin to describe the quality and scarcity of the posters, photographs, lobby cards, inserts, window cards and costume sketches available and on display in a compact, but skillfully designed (500 Square feet of wall space/ 250 square foot booth. Some of the rarest pieces ever from the silent to the 1960's are available and better on display. Also the other vendors there pull out all the stops in their displays of their post 1930's to 1960's furnishings and art and are nothing less than jaw dropping. The entire humongous hanger is skillfully sectioned and its really amazing. So all of you locals (Jeff P, Ricky F, Debi J, Glen T, Sue H, Steve O, Ron M, etc. etc.) in the LA AREA please drop by, you will not be disappointed. Woolsey and I will be there all weekend and Walter will be there for a few hours each day as well. Its the same admission as the Hollywood Collector's (Courts Show) $20 (but minus the in-bred autograph weirdos) and you will be there for hours pouring over the treasures. Walterfilm's booth is very easy to find, just look for the ST. JOAN six sheet that leads the way into our booth.

Re: [MOPO] Bad Memory Al
Al, I don't know who you are, but I was in exhibition for most of Miramax's greatest years. Everyone of my one sheets at Cineplex Odeon Theatres came directly from Miramax's office in Los Angeles. There was an exhibitor services representative that most theatre chains would speak directly to. We also happened to be one their most major clients as we not only dominated the art house options in most metro areas, but when they enjoyed their breakout films, they often looked to our theatres first. So believe me I know where the hell the posters came from. The incentive to order directly from Miramax is there was no charge for the accessories.Their philosophy was to ship directly to the important, top 50 playdates, pick up the costs 100% to insure saturation of their posters and trailers in important markets. There may have been a time they were using Consolidated but certainly not during their escalation into wide releases. Every tube sent to Cineplex theatres reflected their business address. Consolidated Posters at the time were dealing with the most obscure and exploitive film releases and I ordered from them as well as Donald Velde, but it was very, very rare for studios other than Miramax. So a big FAIL on where Pulp Fiction posters came from specifically for the top 15 or 20 National Theatre Chains. freeman In a message dated 4/21/2010 3:27:29 P.M.

The only way to get MIRAMAX POSTERs was from CONSOLIDATED. NO ONE ELSE. Miramax had a few copies in house that they got from CONSOLIDATED. When the advance Pulp came out hey sent me a tube of 50. They were going to send me more but decided to print up the regular version because of the copyright issues with Lucky Strikes. So I even remember waiting on them to print the posters and then wait for them to get to Consolidated. They sent me 100 of those. They had NONE at MIRAMAX in NY or CA. They had to wait for office copies to come from Consolidated. Now when DISNEY bought them which was After Pulp Fiction as a matter of fact the last film Miramax did before Disney bought them was THE CROW. Then when Disney took over then yes you were sent posters from whoever Disney was using. It was no longer Consolidated.

Everyone of my one sheets at Cineplex Odeon Theatres came directly from Miramax's office in Los Angeles. There was an exhibitor services representative that most theatre chains would speak directly to. We also happened to be one their most major clients as we not only dominated the art house options in most metro areas, but when they enjoyed their breakout films, they often looked to our theatres first. So believe me I know where the hell the posters came from. The incentive to order directly from Miramax is there was no charge for the accessories. Their philosophy was to ship directly to the important, top 50 playdates, pick up the costs 100% to insure saturation of their posters and trailers in important markets. There may have been a time they were using Consolidated but certainly not during their escalation into wide releases. Every tube sent to Cineplex theatres reflected their business address. Consolidated Posters at the time were dealing with the most obscure and exploitive film releases and I ordered from them as well as Donald Velde, but it was very, very rare for studios other than Miramax. So a big FAIL on where Pulp Fiction posters came from specifically for the top 15 or 20 National Theatre Chains. freeman In a message dated 4/21/2010 3:27:29 P.M.

Re: [MOPO] FA: The ultimate fixer-upper!
Yes Bruce, a great fixer-upper. Hell, a knockout fixer-upper. But I have to say that virtually all the restoration artists working today exceed the talents of Igor Edelman. Possibly this is a case of better tools available from which to work. I am speaking of methods, paints, and yes talent. But from personal experience on some very rare pieces, I have had more than half-dozen pieces completely re-done in the last 7 years that were originally restored by Igor, all during his prime. Better still, I have to say all the present talent (many of whom were mentored by Igor or mentored once removed) are all members of MOPO and should be recognized as doing Igor proud by taking his studio's early successes and exceeding in artistry what he thought was possible.

[MOPO] The Last Word On Sean Linkenback Scurrilous Attacks
Mopoers, Below is a detailed telling of the claims and counter claims regarding the suit between Jim Gresham and Debi Jacobson. I was in hopes this would have been adjudicated quietly but because of Sean Linkenback's continued attacks against DebI Jacobson and Limagerie Gallery without any knowledge of the particulars in the case I feel morally bound to respond as I was intimately aware of the details. If anyone is interest in knowing the details continue reading. If not feel free to delete. But this is a classic case of the damage to a reputation and integrity of a seller mounted by an internet troll with no knowledge of the details in a case. I would like to think that everyone now full informed about the case would now form their own conclusions and not depend on innuendo and outright lies. Further there may exist lessons here of value for all of you when lawyers become involved because as I clearly demonstrate, they are the only people who win. Sean, I find myself having to address your damning remarks regarding the reputation of Debi Jacobson and by default myself. First, how many times did I write you privately to lay off your scurrilous attacks on parties involved in a legal case whereupon they could not comment on litigation either privately or in a public forum...something you damn well knew. But you persisted, and I have reason to believe motivated by no other reason than harboring a mean spirited sensibility bordering on sociopathic. Why was it your business? I have to say I find it hard to believe that Jim Gresham would have put you up to this as, based on my numerous personal dealings, sales and wonderful conversations, he would never stand idly by and allow some bystander to launch slurs and lies disparaging the reputation of a gallery/dealer. Especially one from whom he had profited greatly over the year with substantial sales. Further Jim was held silent as he too could not weigh in based on his legal action So if I may review the salient-points of the case. So Sean I start with one of your many quotes An honest and reputable dealer would have been proactive. Sean, using your words that is exactly how this transaction began. Regarding the card in question, your friend Kerry Haggard wanted to apply a Frankenstein card towards the purchase of a SON OF FRANKENSTEIN insert Debi acquired from Jim Gresham and asked that I present it to Debi, as, for lack of better term, alternative currency When I received the card I called him to tell him I had a problem with it - that it did not look as vibrant as the jpegs of similar cards I researched on Heritage's website. He then claimed Heritage color enhanced and other nonsense. Actually that registered a bit of an alarm in my head even having met Kerry in person with Ron Magid But then again he was on the cover of Movie Collector's World, written up in news items, truly the good-old boy of the hobby and of course long recommended by Jim Gresham himself. Delivered the card to Debi. Kerry did not want her to know he was acquiring the SON OF FRANKENSTEIN insert for fear she would charge more, a ridiculous assumption as everyone in the hobby knew her price for the piece. But I have assisted other collectors who wished to remain anonymous so that was not at all unusual. Upon presentation Debi immediately agreed the card looked washed out and dull. I left the card with her to consider. A very few days went by and Haggard was becoming increasingly impatient as expressed on my voice mail and numerous emails. When I mentioned to Kerry I actually wanted to get opinions on the card, he angrily objected and did not want in-experienced yahoos pawing over his card. Well I had it in a sleeve! ( NOTE: THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION I FOUND OUT LATER) At that point Debi contacted Jim Gresham about the card to gauge his opinion. Evidently, Jim expressed an interest in the card. With repeated emails to back this up, Debi clearly stated that she had a problem with the card and truly was not an expert on Universal Horror lobby cards. Then Cinevent rolls around and Jim Gresham and Kerry attend. At that point they agreed to the sale of the card. I immediately receive an email from Kerry stating as such. Well I was dumbfounded. Initially Kerry asked me specifically not to approach Jim regarding the card as he did not want to hurt his feelings by not offering the card to him first. Secondly I didn't know that Debi had contacted Jim about the card. Talk about blind-sided! Anyway these issues were reconciled between Kerry and Jim at Cinevent being close friends. The two agreed to the purchase face to face. Kerry immediately notified me by email regarding his sale to Jim. I immediately emailed him back clearly stating I was not sure that was possible
[MOPO] OT Baseball Cards But Its An Interesting Parallel To Posters
Hey mopoers, this article appeared in Slate today and while not about movie paper, an interesting take on Baseball Trading Cards.What is interesting is the sliding assumptions of their perceived value as quantities flooded as well as juicing prices. Aren't we seeing that in a big way presently with movie posters? The Great Baseball Card Bubble Before tech stocks and McMansions, there was cardboard. By Dave JamiesonPosted Wednesday, March 24, 2010, at 12:01 PM ET (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802119395?ie=UTF8tag=slatmaga-20linkCode=as2camp=1789creative=390957creativeASIN=0802119395) How come that Frank Thomas rookie card you stowed away in 1990 is now worth less than a Happy Meal? Chalk it up to the baseball card bubble of the late 1980s and early 1990s. In a new book, _Mint Condition: How Baseball Cards Became an American Obsession_ (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802119395?ie=UTF8tag=slatmaga-20linkCode=as2camp=1789creative=390957creativeASIN=0802119395) , Dave Jamieson tells the story of how baseball cards evolved from a tobacco marketing gimmick in the 19th century into a massive, big-money industry of their own by the late 20th century. In this excerpt, Jamieson explains how baseball cards first became seen as promising investments, setting the stage for a decade of speculation and overproduction. Around the mid-1970s, a small cabal of serious baseball card collectors grew wise to the fact that their cards had become valuable. Cards had almost always had prices attached to them, even when prolific collector and cataloger _Jefferson Burdick_ (http://oldbaseball.com/refs/burdickrev.html) began sending out his Card Collectors Bulletin in the 1930s. But cards that had been worth a few cents were now worth a few bucks, and some of the rarer specimens, such as _the T206 Honus Wagner_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T206_Honus_Wagner) , were commanding hundreds and occasionally thousands of dollars apiece. The number of trade shows sprouting up in the East and the Midwest testified to a growing market. By this time, the most aggressive card collectors had started crisscrossing the country in search of private hoards of cardboard that could be snatched up at bargain prices. Unlike school kids, these men were well-aware of baseball cards' status as a commodity—albeit an undervalued one—and many of these enthusiasts could credit their early transactions with turning them into wealthy men later in life. We'd pick an area of the country—say, Ohio—and take about a 10- or 15-day road trip, recalls Kit Young, who today owns _a massive mail-order business in San Diego_ (http://www.kityoung.com/) . You'd take eight or 10 grand for a four-city hit. We'd rent a car, go around the towns, and we'd have ads in the local papers saying, 'Old Baseball Cards Wanted. … We'll be at the Holiday Inn.' You'd get one crack at them, and you paid by cash. Related in Slate In 2009, Dave Jamieson asked _whether Topps and Major League Baseball could save baseball cards_ (http://www.slate.com/id/2224864/) . Back in 2006, Jamieson investigated _how baseball cards lost their luster_ (http://www.slate.com/id/2146218/) . David Roth spilled the secrets of his tenure _writing baseball card backs for Topps_ (http://www.slate.com/id/2150516/) . Darren Rovell told the tale of the most widely held baseball card of all-time, _the 1989 Upper Deck Ken Griffey Jr. card_ (http://www.slate.com/id/2191533/pagenum/all/) . Bryan Curtis got an autographed card from Don Carman a mere _15 years after he sent the former Phillies pitcher a fan letter_ (http://www.slate.com/id/2154698/) . One of Young's old colleagues, dealer _Gar Miller_ (http://www.garmillercards.com/) of Wenonah, N.J., says the excitement was in wondering what would walk through the door: You might find some beautiful collection that had unopened packs of cards. It was just thrilling. For the itinerant and well-informed hobbyist, it wasn't difficult to get a good deal from the noncollectors who showed up at the Holiday Inn, considering there were no price guides to govern transactions in those days. You didn't know what anything was worth, explains Miller. This loophole in the hobby would soon be closed by a statistics professor from Bowling Green University named _James Beckett III_ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Beckett) . Beckett had grown up on Topps cards in the 1950s, and after lapsing in high school and college, he got back into collecting while pursuing a Ph.D. in statistics. Like Young and Miller, Beckett started checking into motels around the country during the '70s. The more dealings he had, the more he could see that no one had any firm notion of the market value of baseball cards. In 1976, he launched a poll in the hobby newspapers, asking dealers and collectors how much

[MOPO] 2001: a space odyssey Anecdotal True Stories
When I was a wee lad, I was utterly blown away by 2001: a space odyssey. I first saw it in San Antonio where I was born and raised. I remembered reading about it and even buying a comic book serialization before it ever hit the town learning much later as to why: the Cinerama engagements were first roll out, all other cities had to wait on the engagements in a very slow deliberate roll-out by MGM. Once opened, the film played exclusively at a General Cinema, 1000 seat theatre over a year, and literally keep getting moved to other houses for the better part of another year. We are talking San Antonio guys...where the search for illegal aliens was nothing special When I took a job in exhibition in Washington DC that was when I hit Odyssey nirvana. The theatre chain I worked for owned the 1000 plus seat UPTOWN THEATRE a true Cinerama Theatre beginning in 1962 located walking distance from THE NATIONAL ZOO. But what really blew my mind was knowing the theatre was the host of the World Premiere of 2001: a space odyssey . The theatre was shut down several months before the premiere and was completely renovated at a cost just north of $900,00.00 when $900,000.00 really meant something.mind blowing given the reason for the renovation was for the premiere of some space movie as told to me by the same manager still employed at the theatre when I started working for the circuit. (The Washington Post actually did an article on him when he retired in 1986 two years after I moved to DC since it was estimated 50% of the population knew who he was. Plus you can see the theatre in newsreel footage on the special DVD extras of 2001 but I digress) Further, since my job had me interacting with all studio publicists, one named Ted Hatfield who worked for MGM out of NYC at the time (later moved to Columbia) told me great stories of that horrible/wonderful time. In DC there were scheduled a series of screenings but the first was the WORLD PREMIERE and gala reception with NY and LA to follow. This film was a big, big investment for the studio at the time. Kubrick agreed to attend but he flexed, probably for his own amusement and eccentricity, some unusual demands. Can't remember them all, but he did insist at the ultra deluxe and traditionally Georgian styled,Hilton Hotel literally walking distance from the theatre, that one elevator be his exclusivelyand be painted out completely in purple. But he was a man under pressure as all of MGM's brass were there along with a battalion of execs from NASA, McDonnell Douglas, TWA, Hilton and anyone else that lent their names, technology and sizeable promotional commitments. Did I mention there was never a test screening? Not surprising he took control of the actual presentation demanding agonizing test runs with the projectionists that went on well into the evening prior. The Premiere proved a huge media event with the typical black-tie glitterai of DC and numerous Members Of Congress and Ambassadors in attendance. It un-spooled without a hitch. AND IT BOMBED. We are talking B-O-M-B-E-D. Panicked MGM execs all met after only briefly showing up at the reception and assembled at the hotel with Kubrick. He actually began to suggest cuts to an evidently despondent, if not suicidal group of brass. But there were still two screenings scheduled the next day---one for national press and a second for employees of TWA and lower tiered not-so-swells. My friend Ted told me the vibe of premiere night was nothing short of funereal. He didn't sleep at all, so got reasonably soused with his cohorts. He showered and went to the theatre with his equally whacked ad pub cohorts and all braced themselves for the worst. The first screening at 10:00 am with critics he felt went okay as many commented on exiting but it was only about 200-300 critics and as you know are a very sullen bunch anyway. But at least they didn't seem to be outright bored. When Ted and gang got outside the theatre to see if anyone from TWA, and the other invited, not-so-swells were even going to show up...the lines stretched blocks down Connecticut Ave in both directions way, way more than the theatre could hold And they were shocked. This time they had to stand bleary eyed through this packed to the rafters screening (with scores of other people standing with them along the rear and sides of the main auditorium and sitting jammed in the aisles of the balcony It was for Ted and his co-publicists as if watching 2001 for the first time. Instead of the agony of witnessing indifferent, shifting-in-their seats restlessness from the night prior, this crowd of pilots, corporate AD and PR flaks, Capitol Hill staffers the crowd was engaged,

Re: [MOPO] Any bets on METROPOLIS?
Well, Helmut, that particular Style B Starchild Halfsheet had never before come up for auction by any auction house, mentioned in any volume of John Kisch, nor had any dealer I had spoken to about it had EVER seen it. Honestly that piece is stunningly rare and a surprise to anyone who collects on 2001:a space odyssey. Plus it was really cool looking with the unique blue water color tinting and dribble in the poster art itself.

Re: [MOPO] Where is everybody?
YES, Oscar ratings were up, Kirby but having the slouching, bad postured, future Lindsay Lohan's did NOTHING for the ratings.from Niki Fink's Hollywood.. But Tom Sherak should wait to pat himself on the back. The production and direction of last night's Academy Awards were heavily criticized if not downright ridiculed. For instance, the emphasis by executive producers Adam Shankman and Bill Mechanic on packing in young presenters as a ploy to lower the average age of the audience demographics to what advertisers most prize didn't pay off. The 18-34 demo was down 3%, while 34-49 was up 9%. Translation: Taylor Lautner, Zac Efron, Miley Cyrus, and Kristen Stewart in don't-blink-or-you-miss-them doses weren't enough. (The Grammys are the exception, but there artists like Beyonce, Lady Gaga and the Black Eyed Peas take the stage and perform.) Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart instead got stuck in an awkward tribute to the horror genre, which Twilight isn't. That wasn't the most serious gaffe. After Lautner mentioned that the last horror film to be recognized by the Oscars was 1973's The Exorcist, the montage that followed featured a memorable shot of Anthony Hopkins in a Hannibal Lecter mask. Because 1991's Silence of the Lambs, of course, won Best Picture. In a message dated 3/10/2010 10:49:13 A.M. Pacific Standard Time, ki...@movieart.net writes: I disagree, Nathalie.

In a message dated 2/1/2010 5:34:56 P.M. Pacific Standard Time,
neiljawor...@yahoo.co.uk writes:
Hi all
So, for those who are interested.
I just got back from seeing newly-minted centenarian, Ms Luise Rainer,
talk for 90 minutes at London's National Theatre (to Sir Christopher
Frayling). Unusually, although perhaps characteristically, Rainer had decided
in
advance that she intended to only take questions from the audience (although
Frayling did a great job of posing interesting follow-up questions and kept
things moving along).
The 'Viennese Teardrop' was on fantastic, fun, combative form, happily
killing off rumours that she was in any way Thalberg's protege (I hardly knew
him! He met me at a party!') and downplaying her role in getting Brecht
out of Nazi Germany ('He was already in Sweden!').
The Brecht story was one of the best anecdotes. Apparently Luise thought
he was a genius and so happily signed an affidavit to speed his entry into
the States. Brecht was so grateful and enchanted by Rainer that he wrote
The Caucasion Chalk Circle for her. When Frayling asked Rainer why she had
never appeared in this or any other Brecht plays, she laughed and said it
was because after she met Brecht she realised she couldn't stand him!
Rainer was also fascinating on the subject of her two Oscars, claiming
that - for a newly-arrived foreigner to the US from Europe - these awards
didn't really mean that much. Rainer says that director Max Reinhardt running
up to her after a rehearsal to say 'Rainer, how did you do that?!' meant
more to her than any Oscar.
Rainer was also very interesting on her 'genius' husband Clifford Odets,
who tried to, but could not, get her interested in politics: 'I know the
difference between good and bad, rich and poor. But when he gave me Marx's
book I read three pages and gave it back.'
The best anecdote was about Rainer and Odets' honeymoon in Mexico. Odets
religiously wrote at night (and slept during the day) and so it came to pass
that, on their wedding night, his double oscar-winning bride was banished
downstairs to the hotel bar. Here, she fell in with a large group of
vacationing midgets who were drunk and who decided to revere the 'giant'
Rainer
as their God. They claimed that they had a miniature version of Rainer in
their ranks which they proudly introduced to the actress. Rainer fled to
the beach, where she stumbled across Odets. Thrilled to see him, she tried
to leap into his arms, but he ducked out of the way fearing injury and she
ended up in a heap on the sand.
The evening ended with Frayling asking Rainer why she doesn't wear a watch
(she never has). Rainer told him she doesn't need one. When Frayling
asked her how she knows what time it is, she looked at him as if he was an
idiot, 'Instinct! she announced, Instinct and intuition!
Rainer received a standing ovation at the end and was completely at ease
and animated throughout. What an absolute pleasure to have a front row seat
to such an event. I hope the NT will release a transcript to compensate
for my sketchy memory.
Apologies to MOPOers for who this is way, way OT!
Best to you all
Neil
PS I just remembered that, when she was asked for her memories of her
favourite leading men, Rainer told the audience that her favourite was not who
they might think.
With everyone suitably intrigued and waiting to hear who it was, Rainer
threw her hands into the air with exasperation and announced that she had
forgotten his name. She then flashed her eyes at the audience and shouted
'Give me a chance! I am a hundred you know! Cue uproar and once the
laughter had subsided, she announced that she HAD now remembered and that it
was
Melvyn Douglas.

In fact, back in the 1980's the first run multiplexes were charging around $4 for a movie but the second run movie theatres would charge 99 cents. Soon, all the second run theatres closed as not enough people were willing to pay 99 cents for a old movie. Now its $15 to see a 3-D movie.

[MOPO] OT Golden Globes Tribute To Martin Scorsese
If any of you missed the rather turgid Golden Globes Ceremony, good for you. However there was one great thing and it was the tribute to Martin Scorsese. What was great (aside from his acceptance speech) was the astonishingly well edited compilation of his career in film. I think everyone on MOPO will enjoy watching it. And I have to add. note the absolute humility and expression in the great director's eyes at the end of DeCaprio's introduction.

[MOPO] OT FAKE PICASSSOS ON EBAY
This is going to make even more difficult to sell my yard gnome by Michelangelo. CHICAGO – A suburban Chicago man pleaded guilty Tuesday to swindling at least 250 people out of more than $1 million through the sale of counterfeit prints advertised as the work of Pablo Picasso and other major contemporary artists. Michael Zabrin of Northbrook admitted sometimes paying between $1,000 and $1,500 for counterfeit limited edition fine art prints produced in Spain and Italy and reselling them on eBay for many times that amount. In his signed plea agreement with prosecutors, 57-year-old Zabrin said he would send away to his Italian source for fake Picassos, saying: I need some P's. When he needed bogus works by Roy Lichtenstein, he would say: I need some L's. In the summer of 2004, Zabrin purchased eight counterfeit works purportedly by Marc Chagall for $20,000 which he resold at no less than three times his cost, according to the plea agreement which was presented to Judge Robert M. Dow Jr. Zabrin agreed in the document that he caused foreseeable losses of more than $1 million but less than $2.5 million with works turned out by the Spanish guy and another supplier in Italy. He also admitted trading fake art works with other dealers. Zabrin was among seven people charged in March 2008 on charges of trading in fake works by Picasso, Lichtenstein, Chagall, Joan Miro and Salvador Dali. He was the first to be convicted. Charges against the six others are pending. Zabrin pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud. The charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000. But prosecutors calculated that under federal sentencing guidelines Zabrin could be facing a prison term in the 10- to 13-year range. Dow set March 23 for sentencing. According to the plea agreement, Zabrin had been previously convicted of telephone harassment, mail fraud and retail theft. Zabrin admitted conducting 280 sales of fraudulent art on eBay through his companies, Fineartmasters and ZFineartmasters. When some customers realized they had bought fakes, they returned them. Zabrin acknowledged that he then waited a few months and resold them to someone else.

[MOPO] HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE.....
The recent postings of favorite Holiday movies made me recall this excellent article on how the song immortalized in MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas sung by Judy Garland actually was actually quite bleak if not all together depressing when originally written. I thought everyone might enjoy reading the original lyrics and how it was changed, with the cooperation of the composer. In Googling to find the article, I counted well over a 100 singers who have recorded this song. Wow, the impact of film on popular culture cannot be underestimated... freeman There's Something About Merry The history of a popular holiday song -- How ''Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas'' became one of the season's most beloved songs By _Chris Willman_ (http://search.ew.com/EWSearch/ew/search/search.html?type=ew:Chris+Willman;) | Jan 08, 2007 There are two Christmas anthems locked in a struggle for the nation's soul. One, the perennial leader, is the Nat King Cole-popularized ''The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire),'' a glowing portrait of America in heavenly, secular peace. And then we have the challenger: ''Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,'' which this year leaped to No. 2 on ASCAP's annual list of the most performed holiday songs. ''Chestnuts'' has plenty going for it: embers, tots, reindeer, an assurance of everything in its right place, and that 1-to-92 target demographic. But it can't hold a candle to the depth and richness of ''Merry Little Christmas,'' which wins our hearts by celebrating a quality that's even more intrinsic to the season: emotional ambivalence. '''Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' manages to be happy and sad at the same time, hopeful but full of melancholy, as all the best Christmas songs are,'' says Bette Midler, who sings it on her new CD, Cool Yule. And the song's fascinatingly tangled history has left it with several very different sets of lyrics, from the near-suicidal to the downright ebullient. There's even a recent ''sacred'' rewrite, ''Have Yourself a Blessed Little Christmas.'' Which one you prefer may be the truest Rorschach test of your yuletide temperament. Hugh Martin, the song's 92-year-old writer, is calling from a California studio where he's working on demos for a new musical. He's curious to know who's done ''Merry Little Christmas'' well this year. Though the latest interpreters include Sarah McLachlan, James Taylor, and Aimee Mann, he's most excited to learn that his song has finally merited a hair-metal cover. ''Twisted Sisters, is that the group's name? Ha ha ha. That's a hoot!'' In 1943, Martin and Ralph Blane were an already successful songwriting team hired to pen the songs for the movie musical Meet Me in St. Louis, which would pair Judy Garland with her future husband, director Vincente Minnelli. Though Martin and Blane shared credit for the tune, Martin was actually the sole writer of ''Merry Little Christmas,'' and a stubborn one. For the now-famous scene in which Garland and her little sister, a 7-year-old Margaret O'Brien, are despondent over the prospect of moving away from their cherished home, he wrote an initial set of lyrics that were almost comically depressing. Among the never-recorded couplets — which he now describes as ''hysterically lugubrious'' — were lines like: ''Have yourself a merry little Christmas/It may be your last Faithful friends who were dear to us/Will be near to us no more.'' ''I often wondered what would it have been like if those lyrics had been sung in the movie,'' laughs O'Brien, now 69. ''But about a week before we were to shoot the scene where Judy sings it to me, she looked at the lyrics and said, 'Don't you think these are awfully dark? I'm going to go to Hugh Martin and see if he can lighten it up a little.''' As Martin tells it, he initially balked at changing the words. ''They said, 'It's so dreadfully sad.' I said, 'I thought the girls were supposed to be sad in that scene.' They said, 'Well, not that sad.' And Judy was saying, 'If I sing that to that sweet little Margaret O'Brien, they'll think I'm a monster!' And she was quite right, but it took me a long time to get over my pride. Finally, Tom Drake [the young male lead], who was a friend, convinced me. He said, 'You stupid son of a b! You're gonna foul up your life if you don't write another verse of that song!''' Martin finally gave in, coming up with a new, somewhat less downbeat lyric. As sung in the movie, ''Merry Little Christmas'' is a buck-up ballad that imagines the possibility of a bright future but finally admits, in the song's most powerful line, that ''until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow.'' Liza Minnelli (Vincente Minnelli and Judy Garland's daughter) remembers her father's stories about telling Martin, '''Nooo,

[MOPO] Way OT: BITTER TEA OF GENERAL YEN
Mopoers! Off topic but maybe not. Tonight at 8:00 PM EST (5:00 Pacific) Turner Classics is airing Frank Capra's jaw-dropping and all together amazing early drama, THE BITTER TEA OF GENERAL YEN. I bring this up as many on this site have commented on their fondness for Barbara Stanwyck and for my money, this one is hard to beat. It is NOT available on DVD and rarely airs at a decent time. BITTER TEA opened RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL and BOMBED, pulled I believe after one week and quickly replaced with another Capra great LADY FOR A DAY (talk about back-up!!). Anyway TEA's subject of miscegenation (or the mongrelization of the races as it was known in the South) was still very much taboo in 1933 and probably not what the Depression era masses were looking for as an entertaining trip to the movies in spite of showing in the greatest Temple To Cinema ever created. (Stanwyck also starred in BABY FACE the same year, talk about an actress with cajones) It took nearly 60 years for the film to be re-discovered and now has a hard-core legion of devotees. If you have ever wondered why the lobby cards cost $800 and up for such an obscure title watching it will explain a lot. Film costars Nils Asther (in amazing make-up) as General Yen, a Chinese Warlord who plays his character so deliciously you will think of Anton Walbrook in the RED SHOES or other such career defining performances. Film is very much of the time (xenophobic, well yes) but it melodrama at its best and is stunningly art directed and photographed. I promise, you will not be disappointed giving this film a look. LOST HORIZON follows so for a Monday evening you could not ask for a better double bill. freeman fisher Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Re: [MOPO] Cheap at twice the price
I actually wrote this seller when he first listed that what he had in fact were 5 partial 3 sheets, kindly explaining that it appeared he was not aware of their short-comings. I further added that partials were virtually of little or no value especially given the titles offered and to not be surprised if his listing went unsold.

Re: [MOPO] BIG News in Universal Horror Fraud Case
Jeff, Let's clarify your message. 1. You wanted a trimmed poster restored but instead of you yourself going in to the gallery you gave to a friend and longtime client of the gallery (which speaks to some degree a satisfaction of their work.) The burning question, if so particular, why didn't you go in yourself? But you didn't let's proceed. 2. Poster would have had to have had partial restoration to one side and a completely new border. . a border that could not in any way have matched the other three sides due to variations in tone and texture. The evening out is quite a common touch up or it would have looked a bit odd don't you think? A whitish right hand stripe that all but blends into the white of the excess linen, and then varying shades of toned off white to beige original paper on the remaining three borders. 3. Since you didn't take the poster in yourself you have no idea what was discussed between your mule and the gallery. You may have given instructions to your mule, but you have no way of knowing if that was conveyed clearly or to your specific detail. 4. Upon completion you were displeased and posted on several sites and emails expressing your discontent (this was like two years ago right?) 5. She asked you to return the poster as any reputable linen backer (or business) would offer and make it right by you. However you flatly refused with no rational explanation save for some vague paranoia that it might be at further risk..? 6. You found another backer who is a very talented restorer and a truly wonderful person (authenticator, maybe not so much) I take no issue with that . 7. But you claim that non archival ink was used in the repair. That I categorically question as you say Poster Mountain was able to correct...what with more over painting? ..no they were able to remove the balance correction. I doubt seriously his claim of non-water based paint. Actually that isn't true, I doubt your claim on non-water based paint use. 8. Now you claim you were due a refund. Never mind not being present upon delivery, not giving specific instructions to your likes and dislikes directly to the gallery, having no way in knowing exactly the instructions or directions expressed by your mule ( a longtime satisfied customer) and not returning in person so as to give the gallery an opportunity to make it right to your specific wishes. 9. Do you expect say an automotive shop to issue you a refund simply by a phone call because you had a friend drive your car in for an oil change and you aren't convinced or certain they used the right viscosity standard of your specific desire? And then when they offer to you to bring in your car for another oil change, you refuse saying you don't trust them with your car, post on a website their crappy service and go to Jeffi-Lube ? freeman In a message dated 12/5/2009 7:45:40 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, jpotok...@ca.rr.com writes: My FIRST linen backing experience was with Jacobson and her outfit.. she was recommended by a collector friend, who used her almost exclusively. Her mystery, unnamed restorer did SLOPPY work to the piece my friend had taken to her.. first, he airbrushed ALL the borders on this piece--this was NOT asked for. In addition, the paint used was a NON water based paint, so even if i wanted it removed, i cannot. There was airbrush over spray and then when both myself and the friend who recommended (and who took my piece to her), and asked why the entire border was painted and made to look like a freshly painted wall, she lied to my friend / her client and said that the complete border painting had NOT been done, when it was obvious it had been. I was horrified, to say the least, when i first unrolled the linen. And this all occurred because 1/4 had been trimmed along the length of ONE border and I wanted that restored and blended in with the 80 year old paper (this is a prewar belgian, from 1927). Because of this debacle, i discovered John Davis and Poster Mountain. I was actually on my way to show debi and decided i was NOT leaving this piece in her hands a second time, choosing to go straight to PM, instead. He corrected the over spray (luckily, it did not get onto the main artwork) and he was the one who told me that the paint used was non water based. I will not recommend her or her restorer to ANYONE. As this was the first piece i ever had backed ..the experience with her and her outfit was not what i paid for. Her only comment to me was that i never brought it back to her so she could see and correct the mistake, and i was not going to get ANY kind of refund.

[MOPO] OT But Maybe Not.... Top 5 Posters Of The Decade
As some of you may be aware, we are coming to the end of first 10 years of the 21st Century (Damn does time fly by! Just seems like yesterday Bruce was giving me grief for listing a Breakfast At Tiffany's for $2500 :) So lists are being assembled, best movies, best television, best non-fiction, best theatre, best music etc. So I ask now everyone to participate in something of consequence to the hobby/business. What are the top 5 US movie posters between 2000 and 2009 and the single best Foreign Poster. Who knows? This may help usher in the handful that might actually sell for something in the decades to follow if word gets out on the selections by this savvy group. I must stress, if someone picks a poster and you agree, don't change your choices to be different. It will be interesting to see if some degree of consensus manifests. I am only suggesting to list 5 (and one foreign poster) 10 can really become cumbersome. So select five and rank 1 (best) through 5. I'll step up to the plate first: TOP 5 US POSTERS #1 MATRIX RELOADED holifoil (teaser full vertical streams) #2 WALK THE LINE (flaming guitar) #3 THE DARK KNIGHT(Ledger/Joker Why so serious?) #4 CROUCHING TIGER (vast rocky wasteland advance) #5 MOULIN ROUGE (illuminated solo windmill at night) BEST FOREIGN POSTER AMELIE (FRENCH with Audrey Tatou face and cafe below) freeman fisher Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
[MOPO] Dave's WOODSTOCK
Dave, I don't want to join a bashing. You work hard for your business and not shy about making inquiries regarding consigned material and the like. And there are a lot of informed dealers on this site that have the benefit of years and years (and some years x 5) experience who are more than willing to take the time to point out anomalies. However, regarding this WOODSTOCK poster I have to mention the following details I can impart. First, studio poster give-aways was something that didn't happen when WOODSTOCK was released in 1970. This was something that didn't really happen until the mid to late 1980's and rarely, VERY RARELY were they one sheet size. They were what were called mini-onesheets. Speaking from one with 20 years in exhibition, they were cumbersome to give away due to small boxoffice windows. Or more to the point, executing the distribution of say the first 50-100 people in line receive a poster based on a national promotion had to have a dedicated usher to manage. And trust me these promo posters literally got creased and misshapen just in the hand out. That you feel strongly your poster is such a promotional piece wouldn't it make sense that there would be history of these in the marketplace rather than only just recently? Even if there was a find doesn't negate history of previously issued promo posters Think how many would have been printed nationally ... Second. Could it be a well preserved wild posting one sheet? Well no. I had two copies of the wild posted one sheet used for the release of the film and after asking scores of old-timers both in movie and rock posters the wild posted poster was the logo onesheet. (the reconfigured logo by Skolnick set inside a blue circle). Now I am aware that some theatres were sent these and used as ADVANCE ONE SHEETS.I have had two, and they were folded and stamped on back. May I also mention they were splitting along folds even though not used. Third. There was a company known as Spencer's gifts that regularly sold full sized movie posters for hit movies during this time as well as record stores. But frequently you would see a licensing company at bottom edge. BUT NOT ALWAYS. That said I also must remind that a video store called SUNCOAST in the late 90's also sold a huge inventory of posters of contemporary film titles in rolled single sided condition and 27 x 41 if originally so. I have always thought that is why there are so many STAR WARS onesheets rolled came from this source...and there was no licensing information company on any of the ones I remember seeing. Fourth No one has mentioned that the Anniversary of WOODSTOCK was earlier this year. Is it not possible that a plethora of these were printed in anticipation of bump in popularity for this title? That may explain Bruce and others receipt of themAs for a bump in popularity I can tell you there wasn't as I sold my second WOODSTOCK advance just at about the time of the anniversary and barely got $300 ON LINEN. If reviewing the above notes and circumstances and still you feel your poster remains free and clear of these possible reasons for being.then by all means proceed. freeman Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
Re: [MOPO] Avatar
While I think its kind of fun to read fan-boy dismissals of Cameron's latestin fact I have read comparisons liking it to Fern Gully meets Dances With Wolves which arguably a case could be made.But I think one has to give Cameron the benefit of the doubt and allow him the chance to present his world, and to view it in the format he is intending (a revolutionary 3D presentation.) While I may have originally been a bit taken aback by the Navi (those blue characters) the world Cameron has placed them in has me completely intrigued.And the animal creatures I thought looked really great. Remember, Yoda originally looked a little silly, ET looked like a mutant turtle in search of a shell, the prawns in DISTRICT 9 looked truly derivative, and specific to Cameron, literally days before the exhibitor screenings of TITANIC no less than the NY Times and Time Magazine were predicting a cinematic sinking the likes never seen in history. It remains for me the most anticipated film of the Holidays with UP IN THE AIR second.ALVIN AND THE CHIMPMUNKS: THE SQUEAKLE ..not so much freeman In a message dated 11/27/2009 10:58:27 A.M.

[MOPO] FS Fahrenheit 451 Country Of Origin
Wanted to offer this first to fellow MOPO'ers. I received a consignment of an original Fahrenheit 451 French affichette. Poster measures 24 x 33 and is in very fine, unrestored, folded condition (two small dings in black areas) Why I am offering here first is I wanted to see if anyone was interested in acquiring it framed. This is a professional, custom framing, double matted natural linen matte with lapiz blue inside matte (which matches exactly the helmet and flame thrower of Oskar Werner) with museum grade plexi, not even three years old. Framed it measures 29 x 37 and truly its a compelling piece for this landmark science fiction film directed by the great Francois Below is the link to framed poster. Its a beauty and ready to hang. It just seemed a waste to chunk a beautiful custom framing specific to this poster to list on Ebay unframed. I sold client the affichette originally and guarantee its authenticity. Poster last sold at Heritage for $130 almost two years ago So you see this is a strikingly good deal if you are familiar with the pricing of custom framing. Poster with frame $200.00 Shipping $25 ground UPS within the Continental US only (consignor will pick up balance) Obviously my packing of framed poster will be nothing short of a work of art. _http://www.flickr.com/photos/34385...@n03/4138844003/_ (http://www.flickr.com/photos/34385...@n03/4138844003/) freeman fisher 655 n. west knoll drive #2 west hollywood, ca 90069 Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.

Re: [MOPO] HAPPY THANKSGIVING
I was actually trying to make a funny as the NY Times and Slate On Line both really came down this year on the origins and true horror that is green bean casserole. Evidently it was totally created and pushed by Campbell's in the mid 1950's and has become one of Turkey Days standard side dishes. Campbell's canned grean beans and Campbell's cream of mushroom soup with Campbell's fried onion on top. Evidently most people who reside in Red States think the Pilgrims brought it over.

[MOPO] OT Roger Corman
Well good grief, yes Roger Corman who ushered in films directed at young boomers and then those boomer's kids (something approaching a jaw-dropping 300 plus films) but whose legacy lies truly in the directors he gave their first leg up Coppola, Scorsese, Bogdonavich, De Palma, Howard, and more got an honorary Oscar. .but c'mon I think the real news is the legendary Lauren Bacall and the truly great Gordon Willis received honorary Oscars as well. Like Barbara Stanwyck and Deborah Kerr, it astounds me she never received an Oscar. So I think a round of whistles for Ms. Bacall, and we all know how to whistle just put your lips together. As for Mr. Willis groundbreaking photography for the Godfather Trilogy and films for Woody Allen including Manhattan and Zelig will stand the test time long after we have sold or last poster from one of his films. This was actually big news here in Los Angeles because this was the first time the Academy orchestrated a separate ceremony to honor these greats (also the rarely awarded Irving G. Thalberg Award was given to John Calley whose health precluded him from attending who has produced such classics from The Loved One and The Cincinnati Kid, early in his career to Catch 22, Remains Of The Day and of late The Da Vinci Code/Angels and Demons and one of the nicest and beloved leaders in the industry due also in no small part his years of executive work at various studios) so that the appropriate amount of time could be devoted to each and every one as opposed to being shoe-horned in that behemoth of a televised ceremony. The dinner hosted by the Board of Governors of the Academy in the ballroom of the Kodak Theatre was as close to a whose who, platinum crowd of luminaries that proved both joyous and emotional for all who attended.

[MOPO] What About Record Lobby Card Prices?
Okay, excluding the recent spate of bogus cards from the Bernie Madoff of Universal Horror (and a couple of MARK OF THE VAMPIREs thrown in for seasoning). What are the records for lobby cards? Arguably on a per square inch basis they confound belief at times. Figure a lobby card is 14% the size of a onesheet well do the math regarding the few I have listed if that pricing extrapolated equally to their onesheet. I do know of a WIZARD OF OZ title card selling for 15,000.00 about three years ago and even more impressive, a PUBLIC ENEMY scene card (Cagney shoving that infamous grapefruit into the face of Mae Clarke) sold privately for $25,000.00. Further, I had the great privilege of brokering a CALIGARI CARD and a WHITE ZOMBIE CARD each North of 11 grand but are their any others that people can recollect? Certainly I am aware of sets of lobby cards hitting 50,000.00, 80,000.00 and some very recently a bit higher, but I am talking single cards. When you think of a rectangular piece of paper not even large enough to use as a placemat, it does give one pauseand don't even get me started on mini-window cards!

[MOPO] Star Trek Poster Advance
Rick, The STAR TREK poster you have was a one per playdated theatre ultra-advance onesheet created for the film and shipped almost 11 months in advance of opening. What made it quite unique was it was one of the first posters to incorporate foil within the letters of the title. Unfortunately the poster did not measure 27 x 41 and while this was a bit ahead of theatres switching almost exclusively to back lit poster cases (which wouldn't have worked as it was not transparent), it still did not fit into snap-lock poster cases either because it was too small. So in most cases they were taped on the wall of theatre box offices or they didn't get put up at all. They are extremely scarce but Trekkers are notoriously cheap and simply don't put up the bucks to purchase proportionally given the scarcity of the poster and its quality (thick paper, glossy varnish, nifty design of the title with starburst.) If you get $200 to $300 for it consider yourself doing great with the piece. freeman Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: lists...@listserv.american.edu In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
[MOPO] THE HAMMER DROPPED AS SWIFTLY AS POSSIBLE
To everyone on MOPO, freeman here I have thought it best to stay out of the fray of the discussions regarding the fraudulent paper recently brought to the fore as I was mentioned in the original civil suit. But now I feel obliged to recognize publicly the swift actions, expense and rightful actions of Ron Magid. As questionable paper ( minty whites, hairy belts, fuzzy ALIENs you know them) have been passed along with nary a slap on the wrist even when reasonably knowledgeable by many the individuals responsible, it is Ron who was the first to aggressively pursue investigation and action of this latest breech to the business and I think its a swell thing for all of you to know. Indeed to assuage any fears presently, the defendant more than understood his alleged distribution and sale of fraudulent materials was going to result into a thunder clap of litigation in May. Ron, armed with information from Profiles and myself, immediately had an independent expert in restoration (Carol Tincup, well regarded for over a decade) to investigate the materials (all had to be de-mounted and the paper carefully inspected) at his own expense. When discovered all frauds, Ron immediately hired a lawyer and as swiftly as possible filed his lawsuit and awaited servicing of said law suit. During that period no discussions were allowed as dictated by his counsel and truly it was agonizing how long it took for these things to work their way through the courts before one could make public. But within the very small circle of collectors who deal/purchase high-end horror, a cautious pause immediately seemed to form without any specifics shared as many began to have their purchases coming from the defendant examined. Also knowing eyes monitored carefully listings on EBAY again by concerned Mopo'ers. So please understand everyone that legal actions were initiated, as soon as the fraudulent items discovered. Further the great majority of the fraudulent paper did not find widespread dissemination to the public, save for 4 instances already identified, and two private sales again identified. This kind of integrity and swift action is being demonstrated throughout this circle of collectors and dealers because the health and confidence of authentic materials for the future is dependant on doing so. And may I please add before gossip, innuendo and ridiculous scenarios are posted to inflame and strike fear for the benefit of those outside this very small circle of high-end horror dealers, that discretion, courtesy and common sense would be appreciated while the legal processes bring to justice the perpetrators involved. The two plaintiffs are only following to the letter their counsel because nothing short of swift justice is being pursued. Lets not blow it for them. I do see a positive course for the immediate future that should impact us all when selling/collecting high end paper. That is the conveyance of COA, provenance or some such back up with respect to restoration. Case in point I just sold a SON OF FRANKENSTEIN lobby card with a before restoration and after restoration and who performed the minimum work and listed on Ebay. It was purchased by an incredibly informed dealer on Mopo and I assume that kind of transparency was recognized as responsible business ( please, hold your applause:) In fact even further to the point, I have just brokered three high-end horror cards, and even though in jaw dropping near to mint and unrestored condition, I am having them inspected by Carol Tincup and authenticated with a letter to convey in case down the line the buyer ever wanted to sell. A hassle, sure, smart I should think so. This just might be something other sellers and certain internet auction houses will want to embrace when handling rare pieces as technology has really advanced to the point of paper reproduction combined with nefarious restoration being so good it has fooled even the most experienced dealers and collectors. Presently with this unfortunate violation of all things holy in this business it is certainly in my opinion a responsible course of action to restore confidence for the immediate and future health of the hobby.
