The economy has so many people nervous. Please let me know you still intend to complete our deal and the estimated time you'll have it finished. Also, if you're business is in trouble should we not bring you more? We need to know ASAP, as Alan is planning his trip to the Swann Auction shortly and I won't have him schlep posters up there unless this one has already been returned. Please respond in a timely fashion, as I will consider the lack of a response as a danger sign. Please also note that do to our business, we are fairly recession proof and shall keep investing and restoring. Thank-you in advance for working with us. Andrea Kanter P.S. I fixed my printer!

Then you told me you were backed up without your wife. So why say 3-5 weeks if you know you can't pull it off? You say you're backed up, yet you want my husband to send you more posters. How does that make sense for us? However, I see you had time to get my check cashed, but not ship the poster which you said was done and has been paid for. So far, Chris, we are not impressed.

you guys had to know and there were some who thought Chris was getting hog tied. If I get kicked off MoPo, then so be it. At least you 'll know better and avoid his drama. I apologize if I've offended anyone by doing this. I really do. I just can't sit here and watch this whole thing be swept under the carpet. Scott, mea culpa.

Re: [MOPO] Head's Up - POSTERFIX ALERT
Thanks David, he is calling as we speak. So far today, he called 13 times in 45 minutes, leaving 5 messages. So far, I've only listened to one and it was menacing. That was this morning. Now he's calling again and again and again. Sent me a few more emails, too. Can't wait to hear his afternoon rantings! So far, it seems he wants to behead me, shoot me, and 'find me'. I will say this... this man sure has the Halloween spirit. 13 more calls between 3:13 and 3:24 PM. One of the emails has just a simple name on it as the subject. I'm pretty sure he's trying to threaten someone's welfare, as there's no message to go with it and the subject is in Caps and bold. That's my theory. Sue is cool, she didn't know. I tell you ALL, this man is worse than a mammogram! Oops! He's baaack. Let's see how many calls he makes now.

Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 15:44:06 + From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Head's Up - POSTERFIX ALERT To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Hello All, I have Posterfix listed as a link on my website. I have had customers over the years send me posters that Chris had restored and hadn't ever heard anything negative about his business. When Andrea asked me about him as a potential source for linenbacking, I told her my experiences and that was that. However, with the history in this hobby of certain linenbacker/restorers and then not getting responses to emails, I can understand her worries. When one promises a product by a certain time and doesn't deliver, the customer has every right to inquire. Andrea has forwarded to me the emails she and Chris exchanged. So, I have seen both sides of the emails. I have to say that I am flabbergasted. The comments from Chris were so despicable and rude that there is no explanation or excuse that could be given. I know to some it might not matter so much anymore in our culture, but this is not just a business speaking to a customer, this is a man speaking to a woman. The language and names he called her were so vile and, in my opinion, totally unwarranted based on her inquiries. I know that business owners sometimes see customers as pains in the rear end. Some are, and I am not of the mind that the customer is always right, but the customer, in this case, paid for the product and has a right to expect certain results, not conduct and language that I saw in these emails. I am immediately removing his link from my website.

Re: [MOPO] CHRIS CLOUTIER
Thank-you. Well, I shared those emails with Claude, too. That's it. There's more that arrived later. Wow! He called 3 more times tonight. And replied to different emails from days before, that had been previously answered. I'm thinking of buying a pit bull! So let me see if I'm getting this right: This morning he emailed saying he was sending my poster back, undone (again). This is good. Later he starts harassing the he** out of me with his vulgarity and incessant phone calls and leaves a message that he's keeping my poster (suddenly backed) and I assumed that included my money. This is an about face. Kirby, is it from you calling him? I lost more than Richie, folks. Hey, if I'm going to lose my poster, I may as well have some good come out of it.

Re: [MOPO] Head's Up - POSTERFIX ALERT
Three things: 1. I love Richie Halengua 2. Alan doesn't know about the Posterfix disaster. 3. He knows I love Richie and he's OK with it ;) Chris has until Friday to return my poster, which he now says is undone. If he does what he claims he's going to do to it, I'll post a jpg for everyone. That alone should total out his business. I don't know if he belongs to MoPo, but Rich is right. I have no intention of backing off this p.o.s.

[MOPO] Head's Up - POSTERFIX ALERT
I've been asked to make you all aware of the problems I've been having with Chris Cloutier of Posterfix in Brooklyn. I initially checked him out as he has a link on a MoPo members site. I was assured his work was reputable and he didn't steal posters. I suppose that member didn't know, but I find that odd as this person has a finger on the pulse of all things 'poster'. Now I find out not only does he ignore his customers, but he also does terrible work! I will tell you I have only spoken with him once and he was so rude! If that had been one of my daughters, I would have slapped them across the face for opening such a disrespectful mouth to me. The man claims to have done the work, a simple backing. Somehow he is too busy to respond to a customer who is waiting to pack and bring many more posters to him. Not only is this unprofessional, it is UNINTELLIGENT! We're in a recession and Chris Cloutier doesn't need money. Everyone go elsewhere! Wish someone had warned me!!!

I think we'd have a kick-ass health program. And finally, after this past decade, I think we should have an Independent for POTUS. They work between party lines.

If there ARE many bargains to be found in these auctions, I hope that long-time collectors will take advantage of them! Does anyone here doubt that George Bush will go down as the worst President in American history? And I am not being partisan in saying this, for I feel the Democratic Congress is at least equally to blame for all the terrible decisions that were made the past 8 years (some they came up with on their own, and some they simply went along with Bush, passing his wacky ideas, when any sane person would have recognized them as recipes for disaster). And they let the robber barons on Wall Street loot the country for 7 years, and then, when those fools managed to bankrupt themselves, they go along with the insane plan of bailing them out with OUR money!

Vintage material seems to be pretty safe as investment however high ticket items can soften as people have less money.

They can as tey are both senators even after the race in over so they can help each other. So either way it turns out they should work together as Both has a passion for this country.

But this was a great chance to look at the fakes very closely! Of course, they can be distinguished from the known original from their trademark whiter than white paper, and their glossier back side. But what is interesting to me is that when they are laid side by side, the lousy printing of the minty white becomes painfully obvious. They were clearly NOT printed from the original plates (as has sometime been speculated) but instead were made by photographing a known original, because the fine shadings in some areas are blurry or filled in, as would be expected when you reproduce an original. Unfortunately, this would not jump out at most people when they solely look at the minty white fake. But when you look at BOTH the minty white fake and the proven original, those printing differences would be obvious to anyone (except maybe Professor Powers). Have the minty white fakes killed the value of the proven originals? The Scarface insert I am auctioning is currently at $246. so that is clearly not the case!

Re: [MOPO] Movie Paper and The Domestic / World Economy
There are several things to think about here. First, it's a fabulous time to get some great deals because so many people are afraid to spend. It's a good time to invest in ephemera, which is now being considered as viable as real estate and stocks (). Same thing w/ real estate, if you know what you're doing (i.e. stay away from property that is hurricane prone). Cars - BAD time! They'll all be changing in the next few years and you don't want a brand new out- dated inefficient model that you can't unload. If you have an incompetent mortgage, best not spend. If you're OK, spend some and stash some. The thing is, you don't want to panic to the point where you're wary of investing. This economic thing will fade, you'll still be alive and the ephemera can help pull you back to where you were. The thing is: restoration will be all the rage. Waste not, want not, right? Well, it goes along with being green; don't throw it away until it's really beat. Restore, repair, re-use. Now about those Mayans... if they're right, at least you went ahead and bought that poster before we all croaked! Also, go ahead and eat carbs, sodium, and fat grams. Pass the dark chocolate, please!

Re: [MOPO] Paul Newman Dead
Such a classy man. Paul Newman will be missed and remembered. Andrea On Sep 27, 2008, at 10:46 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Truly one of the greats. My personal favorite of his without hesitation HUD. Below is just posted obituary from the NYTIMES WESTPORT, Conn. (AP) -- Paul Newman, the Academy-Award winning superstar who personified cool as an activist, race car driver, popcorn impresario and the anti-hero of such films as Hud, Cool Hand Luke and The Color of Money, has died. He was 83. Newman died Friday after a long battle with cancer at his farmhouse near Westport, publicist Jeff Sanderson said. He was surrounded by his family and close friends. In May, Newman he had dropped plans to direct a fall production of Of Mice and Men, citing unspecified health issues. He got his start in theater and on television during the 1950s, and went on to become one of the world's most enduring and popular film stars, a legend held in awe by his peers. He was nominated for Oscars 10 times, winning one regular award and two honorary ones, and had major roles in more than 50 motion pictures, including Exodus, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Verdict, The Sting and Absence of Malice. Newman worked with some of the greatest directors of the past half century, from Alfred Hitchcock and John Huston to Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese and the Coen brothers. His co-stars included Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks and, most famously, Robert Redford, his sidekick in Butch Cassidy and The Sting. He sometimes teamed with his wife and fellow Oscar winner, Joanne Woodward, with whom he had one of Hollywood's rare long-term marriages. I have steak at home, why go out for hamburger? Newman told Playboy magazine (NYSE:PLA) when asked if he was tempted to stray. They wed in 1958, around the same time they both appeared in The Long Hot Summer, and Newman directed her in several films, including Rachel, Rachel and The Glass Menagerie. With his strong, classically handsome face and piercing blue eyes, Newman was a heartthrob just as likely to play against his looks, becoming a favorite with critics for his convincing portrayals of rebels, tough guys and losers. I was always a character actor, he once said. I just looked like Little Red Riding Hood. Newman had a soft spot for underdogs in real life, giving tens of millions to charities through his food company and setting up camps for severely ill children. Passionately opposed to the Vietnam War, and in favor of civil rights, he was so famously liberal that he ended up on President Nixon's enemies list, one of the actor's proudest achievements, he liked to say. A screen legend by his mid-40s, he waited a long time for his first competitive Oscar, winning in 1987 for The Color of Money, a reprise of the role of pool shark Fast Eddie Felson, whom Newman portrayed in the 1961 film The Hustler. Newman delivered a magnetic performance in The Hustler, playing a smooth-talking, whiskey-chugging pool shark who takes on Minnesota Fats -- played by Jackie Gleason -- and becomes entangled with a gambler played by George C. Scott. In the sequel -- directed by Scorsese -- Fast Eddie is no longer the high-stakes hustler he once was, but rather an aging liquor salesman who takes a young pool player (Cruise) under his wing before making a comeback. He won an honorary Oscar in 1986 in recognition of his many and memorable compelling screen performances and for his personal integrity and dedication to his craft. In 1994, he won a third Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, for his charitable work. His most recent academy nod was a supporting actor nomination for the 2002 film Road to Perdition. One of Newman's nominations was as a producer; the other nine were in acting categories. (Jack Nicholson holds the record among actors for Oscar nominations, with 12; actress Meryl Streep has had 14.) As he passed his 80th birthday, he remained in demand, winning an Emmy and a Golden Globe for the 2005 HBO drama Empire Falls and providing the voice of a crusty 1951 car in the 2006 Disney-Pixar hit, Cars. But in May 2007, he told ABC's Good Morning America he had given up acting, though he intended to remain active in charity projects. I'm not able to work anymore as an actor at the level I would want to, he said. You start to lose your memory, your confidence, your invention. So that's pretty much a closed book for me. He received his first Oscar nomination for playing a bitter, alcoholic former star athlete in the 1958 film Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Elizabeth Taylor played his unhappy wife and Burl Ives his wealthy, domineering father in Tennessee Williams' harrowing drama, which was given an upbeat ending for the screen. In Cool Hand Luke, he was nominated for his gritty role as a rebellious inmate in a brutal Southern

Horror story... When Alan and I were first married, we took a family trip up north to vacation and get some of his posters to bring down to Florida. The girls were like 6 and 7. We arrive back home (airport) and he lays his tubes down to fetch a cab. It is midnite. We get the luggage into the trunk, I put the girls in the back seat. Alan jumps in and we leave. We each thought the other had the tubes!!! Three MAJOR and RARE and FINALLY RESTORED magic posters. Huge posters. I felt someone find them and their greed was overwhelming!!! What a horrible chill it sent through me. Alan thought it was MY fault and that I should have paid attention to the posters and not my little girls (at the airport, at midnite). He had to go to therapy for it. The therapist convinced him it wasn't my fault and that's what people with kids do. We've never seen those pieces again, at any auctions or any of his friends, so we haven't yet replaced them and it's been over 15 years. Figure over $50,000. It makes me sick to think of that!

Re: [MOPO] TEXAS
Thank God Kirby and Austin didn't get it! Thank God your daughter is in Junior High now! What an awful week. If anyone hears from anyone who got the storm, please let us know they're OK. Thanks, Andrea On Sep 14, 2008, at 11:30 AM, Susan Heim wrote: Good to hear Kirby that you are safe. I have been watching the scenario unfold most of the week. One of the problems I see now is that all the people who were told to evacuate that didn't are now having to be rescued which adds to the already awful sitution officials are dealing with. We had our own situation here in Chatsworth on Friday afternoon when a Metrorail train collided head on with a freight train. The tracks where the accident occured run right alongside my daughter's elementary school. In fact the grassy area that was shown on the t.v. as the triage area was their playing field. We worried for years about those track locations hoping that no train would ever jump the track and head into a playing field with children on it. She is now in jr. high school about a block up the road but was being picked up from volleyball practice exactly as the trains collided. So, it was a mess and a very sad situation. So, everyone take care out there and be safe! Sue www.hollywoodposterframes.com Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2008 09:56:28 -0500 From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [MOPO] TEXAS To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU It is doubtful that anyone on the list who really experienced this storm is really even in a position to get this post. There is no power. The upper Texas coast is a mess. Even though the storm was actually not as bad as Texas officials had feared, nevertheless it was awful. There is no power for almost 2 MILLION people. When people tell you that everything in Texas is big, that includes power outages as well. Flooding is widespread and is being complicated today by additional, non - hurricane related rains caused by a cool front wringing moisture from the coastal atmosphere. This means that the hurricane flooding is being hampered in draining. There haven't been a lot of deaths reported, but this may be because rescue teams cannot get into some of the residential areas yet. In short, it's a wreck. Here in Austin we did not even get one drop of rain or any high wind. This was a different scenario than the one posited at the beginning of last week, when Austin was in the storm target area. K.

There was nothing indicating it was a reprint.

You have my prayers, Kirby. We were lucky and just missed it. However, even though it was several hundred miles away, we still had wind warnings. Man, you could just tell...

There may be some of you who are thinking that it's about time. But that's another story. Anyway, Austin is about 200 - 250 miles inland from where this storm is supposed to make landfall. The problem is that is bigger than a lot of states - about 300 miles across and has two more days to churn itself into fury over the Gulf of Mexico. My cousin (who actually collects film posters, by the way) works for Kirby Corporation in Houston (no connection to yours truly) in the inland marine business, and I can tell you that the people who are very familiar with hurricanes are worried as hell. Here in Austin we expect this to be downgraded to perhaps a tropical storm by the time it gets here. Still it could spin off some tornados and we could lose power. If I get a tornado there could be movie posters all over East Austin. If I see Elmira Gulch riding by on her bike (or Lance Armstrong) I'll let you know. Ya'll pray now!

It's because I have been seriously considering turning MPB private for moths now and I think I have finally reached the point where I'm going to be making my final decision. Why would I want to turn the site private ? To be honest, during the past 2 years since I bought the site I really haven't had very many sellers come over. I understand that many sellers feel the site wasn't ready for them to come over, but now that I've been running my 99 cents no reserve auctions successfully for 60 weeks, I really don't think that the issues preventing sellers from signing up exist anymore. None the less, if sellers don't want to migrate to MPB, there isn't any reason for MPB to continue to make seller status available. Does fleaBay have more buyers.. well yes it does.. But who says you have to leave them behind? You can indeed list at both sites I doubt you will find a detriment to it. Also, I'm not exactly cutting off all seller registrations. I'm going to be dividing MPB into two sections 1) 99 cent no reserve auctions (my auctions) 2) MPB Stores (all other sellers except for during special event auctions) Future sellers will only be those that are invited and those that have supported MPB in the past. By limiting the sellers in this way, I can be sure that only 100% honest sellers have material listed and of course that reduces problematic issues that both collectors and administration have to deal with At Cinevent I will be having extensive design architecture discussions with my programmer as we continue to redesign the site, and we will announce these improvements afterward, but for now you just have to answer one question. Do you or do you not want to be selling Movie Posters at the only site devoted strictly to Cinemaphiles? Please note: I will be vetting any member who wishes to get seller status and also I have begun deleting seller status for members who haven't signed on for a long time..

Turns out that's not true. After going unsold for months, the jet was put in the hands of Turbo North Aviation, an Anchorage aircraft broker, which put an asking price of $2.45 million on the nearly $2.7 million jet. It was ultimately sold privately to an Alaskan business man for $2.1 million, $31,000 of which went to Turbo Aviation as a sales commission. Why is Sarah Palin lying about an Ebay connection?

[MOPO] Local linen backer?
Do we have anyone in S. Fl., so I can just drop this off? I'm trying to avoid trusting the people down here to transport it. I know if it's complicated it must be shipped out, but isn't there a reliable linen backer in south florida? I don't mind driving to Orlando, if I have to. But my area is preferred. Already tried Google. The back log in my closet is scary. You can't open the door without an avalanche. I keep buying, but am leery of mailing out to restore. And on it goes. Then the cat got into a box w/styrofoam peanuts in it and it got all over the frigging place. GEEZ. OR Does anyone know anyone down here who can build me an extra closet??

Re: [MOPO] EBAY Selling Question
On Bruce's Thursday auction, there are several really nice posters I'd love to have. I couldn't understand why the bids were so low. Well, the way he needs to ship them, flat and on some kind of cardboard backing, the shipping is $120. He tells you this upfront. (Don't go by how I describe it; read what he says) I still am thinking about it, but it certainly figures in how much I'd bid for them. What has me more, though, is the restoration involved. Beautiful pieces. I like them all Andrea On Aug 25, 2008, at 9:38 PM, Claude Litton wrote: Evan's reply is illogical when he states that he does not factor the cost of shipping into what he will pay for a poster. If what he says is true then he must only bid on very expensive posters but I doubt that because as an example he cites $50 for a poster. At that price postage is a definite factor to be considered. In any case, shipping is a cost to be considered. He states that regardless of the shipping he will not pay $51 if he made up his mind to bid $50. I ask himIf two posters are up for auction that you want and are willing to pay $50 for each--Will you bid exactly $50 for each if one states shipping is $10 and the other states shipping is Free? I just purchased two posters at auctions. I paid $727 for a poster from Bruce H and I never factored shipping in while I was bidding. Postage for this poster was irrelevant to me when bidding. (As an aside, Bruce Hershenson spent $20.50 in postage plus the cost of the tube and the labor in packing and only charged me $9 for shipping.) I bought a poster from Heritage for less than $45 and paid around $18 in shipping (very well packed and a large flat). The price was fair for both (even if Bruce had charged the full amount). My point here is simple. I paid no attention to the shipping cost with the poster from Bruce because I was willing to pay more than the final price (I bid higher but the other person stopped at $702). I definitely factored in the shipping price with Heritage because I did not want to exceed $85 for the poster so I placed a bid around $65. Shipping becomes minor as the price of the poster increases. In any case, this is another situation where ebay is making changes to strengthen their bottom line without giving the consequences the necessary serious thought.

A more recent web Ad - The One II - reprised the parting of the Red Sea clip - in this case leading to a shot of Obama body-surfing during his recent Hawaii vacation - and added Yul Brynner as well. Here's a link to the McCain ads on Youtube - The One and the One II - which will go down in history, regardless of the outcome of the election. http://www.youtube.com/user/johnmccaindotcom?ob=4 There was a third web ad - Fan Club - whose original version concluded with Wayne and Garth doing their I'm not worthy genuflection. Mike Myers objected, and the clip was removed. Another ad somewhat in the same vein - Celeb, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHXYsw_ZDXg - got a lot of notice for comparing Obama to Paris and Britney as an empty celebrity. I'm not sure, however, that anyone who hasn't been following the election fairly closely, in particular the messianic overtones of the Obama campaign, will get them, especially the two One ads.

Re: [MOPO] Can a major director shoot an epic on a low budget?
Maybe if the Cannes Film Fest had a new category - films under such and such a budget - some of them would try? I think it would be a great effort. Or if there was an award for best film under X amount... Andrea On Jul 22, 2008, at 6:36 PM, Patrick Michael Tupy wrote: Yeah, Dave, I definitely agree with you about John's post as a 'challenge' for today's A-List Directors. But times have clearly changed so I think that without sufficient motivation for one of these A-Listers to take on a smaller project, it's all speculative on our parts. Could they do it? I think they could but only if they HAD to. That's why I mentioned the certain 'Director' in the 40's who sought and possibly had to prove to the studios that he could direct a studio film on time and under budget. Ultimately, we'd all have to agree that it's not in any of their interests to do so. The studios would possibly expect them to cut their future budgets and there's no guarantee that studios would sufficiently support their shoestring project with advertising or wide distribution for their smaller films so there's no guarantee that anyone would flock to the lower budget film made by one of these highly successful Directors. Not that it couldn't happen, but put yourselves in their shoes, it's virtually a 'lose/lose' for them. Making a small film has all the same headaches (and possibly more) than making a film with a fat budget. Trust me, I'm working on one now and production has been pushed back a month already due to scheduling and budget issues and everyone's scrambling to pay their bills everywhere. I was supposed to be working from July 4th forward and now it looks like I'm not going to be there until mid- August. I'm losing thousands of dollars in preproduction income I was counting on. That rarely happens on a full-fledged Studio film. So I'll ask you, which situation would you rather find yourself in? If you're younger and hungry, I get it. You're still trying to prove yourself. If you've 'arrived' and have 'earned' and been used to the perks, why would you throw them back? I mean, if you could fly first class all the time would you suddenly decide to fly economy if you don't have to? Especially when you're not paying for it but you're still getting all the frequent flyer miles! Bottom line, these Director's could always choose to fly economy, but why? I can tell you this, from own experience as a writer having been employed at Warner Brothers, I would NEVER drop my quote if my films were continually successful unless I had a 'vanity' project that I was going to be allowed to direct or receive some ownership of the film, etc. in order to make it worth my risk. Times have changed from the '60's. Too few films are made anymore, the business is too fickle, the risks MUCH higher than they were when PSYCHO was made, and the window for a career is just too damned small.

In interviews, Spielberg later acknowledged his track record enabled him to make a Holocaust picture few would finance, and that he himself intended Schindler's to be a non-fiction novel, an artifact -- told in a style akin to Truman Capote's, In Cold Blood and author Thomas Kenneally's own source material, Schindler's Ark.

So far, we see new 'world records' quite frequently, and the next 'bigger than ever' auction event always seems to be just around the corner. What I wonder is: How long can the market eat up this constant flow of material? Is the decay of the poster market on eBay just the self-deserved downfall of a corrupted system, or will it be exemplary for the hobby? Remember, a few years ago eBay spiralled poster prices into new dimensions, very much like some live auctions do today.

Re: [MOPO] Is tape on the back restoration?
I agree with Dario. When I buy a poster, I automatically consider whether I'd have it restored or not. If it's important and somewhat rare, it's a given it'll get sent in. I also have many posters that need the whole treatment, but aren't worth very much monetarily. I will get them done, eventually. I'm more concerned with preservation than investment. I feel it's a responsibility to conserve. Now, if it's pristine when I buy it, I do NOT back it, but leave it as is (unlike my spouse who is a linenback maniac) So, we espouse to ephemeric responsibility! LOL!!!

This might have simply been a mistake on Sean's part (easy to make when selling so much), but I wondered if he (and the rest of you) possibly don't consider clear tape on the back of a card (which may well have been put there decades ago) to be restoration. And (in the spirit of the great buyers premium debate), does it matter if there is a single piece of tape, or many? Does the kind of tape used matter? Does it matter if it has yellowed? Does it matter if it has bled through to the front, even the littlest bit? Does it matter if it is brown paper tape, which was not put for any restoration purpose (many exchanges and theaters used to turn four cards of a lobby set in one direction and four in the other direction and then use paper tape to hold all eight together, so that two cards would each have two pieces of brown paper tape on the back). And most importantly of all, does size matter (does it matter if the tape is say, 6 inches or 9 inches in length)?

You're paying the full cost of the item. But here's where you'll find the most obvious example of what true cost is if you buy a poster for $10,000 at Heritage and they add $1950 and you pay $100 to get it shipped to you... your insurance policy will pay you $11,950 when it burns up in your house fire north of L.A.

Greg Douglass rodxmorgan wrote: Perhaps he could spin this report into a tale of patriotism... ATLANTA: The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on gun ownership last week focused on citizens' ability to defend themselves from intruders in their homes. But research shows that surprisingly often, gun owners use the weapons on themselves. Suicides accounted for 55% of the nation's nearly 31,000 firearm deaths in 2005, the most recent year for which statistics are available from the centers for disease control and prevention. There was nothing unique about that year — gun-related suicides have outnumbered firearm homicides and accidents for 20 of the last 25 years. In 2005, homicides accounted for 40% of gun deaths. Accidents accounted for 3%. The remaining 2% included legal killings, such as when police do the shooting and cases that involve undetermined intent. Public-health researchers have concluded that in homes where guns are present, the likelihood that someone in the home will die from suicide or homicide is much greater. Studies have also shown that homes in which a suicide occurred were three to five times more likely to have a gun present than households that did not experience a suicide, even after accounting for other risk factors. In a 5-4 decision, the high court struck down a handgun ban enacted in the District of Columbia in 1976 and rejected requirements that firearms have trigger locks or be kept disassembled. The ruling left intact the district's licensing restrictions for gun owners. One public-health study found that suicide and homicide rates in the district dropped after the ban was adopted. The district has allowed shotguns and rifles to be kept in homes if they are registered, kept unloaded and taken apart or equipped with trigger locks. The American Public Health Association, the American Association of Suicidology and two other groups filed a legal brief supporting the district's ban. More than 90 percent of suicide attempts using guns are successful, while the success rate for jumping from high places was 34%. The success rate for drug overdose was 2%, the brief said, citing studies.

Re: [MOPO] dinner
We love you, too! I have to tell you. A hollywood star lives around the corner from me (2 neighborhoods down). It's the house with it's own limo. I always thought it was Debbie Reynolds. Your stepmother sounds like a pretty cool lady! I can't get over how many stars you California MoPoer's get to meet !! I love these stories, guys. I was thinking of changing dinner w/ Marilyn to Billy Crystal. I met Yul Brynner (fell over the back of a couch into his lap at Studio 54), John Kenneth Galbraith, saw Mick and Bianca Jagger ; all that same night. But that's it for stars. There were more drugs in one place than I have ever seen in all my hippie years! It was a night they did the Academy Awards live on screen and had two parties on two coasts. I was working for Polaroid, shooting instant movies of them and putting them up on other screens. These people I didn't know kept coming up and handing me their drugs to hold while they danced! Andrea On Jul 2, 2008, at 1:20 PM, Susan Heim wrote: Hey Bruce, I was at that same event at the Cinerama Dome. We went early also to get the special program book. The only good thing I can say about it was that while we were waiting in the line to get the book, we were positioned right in front of the area where they were interviewing the celebrities as they got out of their limos. So we saw Angela Lansbury, Jack Nicholson, Billy Crystal, Julie Andrews, Kirk Douglas (we actually attended to see Spartacus), and a few others I can't remember now (I'm getting old and forgetful). You are right, though, the book wasn't that great but it did have some very nice photos in it. Also, about Debbie Reynolds. My step Mom has been in the costuming business for 50 years. She and Debbie are good friends. Years ago Debbie found many of the costumes from Gone With the Wind stored at a Bekins storage facility in Hollywood, having been stored their by Selznick. Over the years she bought and found many other costumes and many of them were restored at my step Mom's shop. She saved me all the scraps and I have them stored and labeled in little jars at home (o.k., I'm a pack rat). About 15 years ago, my step-Mom bought the original half sheet for Singin' In the Rain and Debbie took it to Gene and Donald's house to have it signed. My birthday is New Years Eve, so typically I have always gotten the combined Christmas/Birthday gift, which is cool, except when I was a kid and the birthday would come but I'd already gotten the gift a week before (kids can be so greedy!). So, when I went over to see my step-Mom at the holidays and she handed me a tube, unwrapped (her no frills style, I love it), I thought it was something she wanted me to frame for her. Inside was the signed half sheet with a little note from Debbie. It is my most prized possession in my collection. Not my most valuable, monetarily, but the care that went into getting it for me was the value to me. I have been lucky enough to meet, work and dine with many celebrities. Some were nice people, some were fantastic, and some were grumpy and some downright rude. Just like regular people. My favorites have been Fred Astaire, Bette Davis, Gregory Peck, Gene Kelly, Patty Duke John Astin, Carol Burnett, Helen Hayes, and a few others. Those just stand out in my mind. With my business I have had for the past twenty years since I retired from the film business I have many people in the public eye that are customers. Believe it or not, most are just down home folks who got lucky and they are the first to say it. There are some that think they are all that, but they probably did before they became famous also. Just like regular people!! To be honest, I'm with some of you. I would rather have dinner or hang out with some of my customers that are regulars on this group and I have with some of them. Koose (Dave K.), Toochis, Patrick/Michael, Richard Del Belso, John Schad, Freeman, and others. There are so many on the group that I would love to meet in person. Kirby, Alan Heimann, Andrea, Joe Bonelli, Greg Douglass, John Reid, and pretty much everybody. I love the varying personalities of this group. That's my spin.

This intense drama takes place in the dark depths of sin city, where a roll of the dice can result in restoration of priceless ephemera or the devastating loss of color and increase of innumerable fold lines. See Richard rescue helpless, unloved one sheets, barehanded, yet wearing a cape, as he battles with the postman, played by Oscar winner Tom Martin.

It's always good to see our hobby sneak into a major media outlet. Actually, I just recently added The Movie Poster Channel on my cable system, and it is non- stop riveting viewing. I especially love Pinhole Counter's Corner, an hour show with a different anal-retentive condition freak on every day, whining about dealers who missed a scuff mark or a tiny bit of foxing in their description. Eugene Hughes Talks About Business Ethics is also an instructive daily lesson in building a solid reputation within the collecting community, and I have learned a lot from it. But The Movie Poster Channel is not just All dweebs, all the time. There's a Friday night cage match between Bruce Hershenson and a different dealer every week. While the West Plains Warrior may look a few pounds overweight, so far he has solidly beaten all comers. Don't let that Jerry Mathers-like smile fool you; the man is an animal in the ring. However, he'll be up against Rich Halegua just after Cinevent. Rich will be energized and ready. I'm warming up my TIVO.

Re: [MOPO] Share your most embarrassing moments at the movies:
OK. One I won't tell you about. The other one happened recently. We took Aiden (now 3) to see Horton Hears a Who. Earlier that day, we had gone on a 'bus-that-becomes-a-boat' tour on the Intracoastal. They give you these duck whistles to blow. You guessed it. We didn't realize he brought his whistle with him, and at one of the parts where they're trying to listen for the Who, Aiden hauls off and blows that thing. He was on my lap when I jumped, popcorn all over, and little kids came out of their skin. Now it's really funny... Andrea On Apr 8, 2008, at 7:30 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This is an easy one.

Re: [MOPO] Excellent comparison: Hollywood Blacklist and Gun Deaths
Hi Phil, First, thanks for remembering Al's name :) This is like politics. You have to make your own call; it's very personal. I could only let Alan do whatever he wanted and respect his feelings. I will say that bias and prejudice definitely has a play in our collecting (or lack thereof). Personally, if someone is/was anti-semitic, I'm not about to do anything that would make the work that person did go up in value. But it's not just anti-semitism; it's whoever offends me. Heck, it's my money, I'll spend it (or not) where I choose. (i.e. I don't like hunters. In my world, people who kill animals to hang their heads on a wall are murderers.)

Let's say (as has been suggested by Fritz Lang) that his then-wife Thea Von Harbou was a member of the Nazi Party (or the Nutzi Party as Ernst and Mel might put it) does one therfor decline the offer of a METROPOLIS poster (or any Ufa poster post 1932-ish spreading it a little wider) because probably at least many if not most of the crew are Nutzi Party members? Or one discovers that some director on some favourite American film of all time was a member of the KKK... so you get rid of the poster? Of course it depends if one approves of the KKK and their beliefs, or not, may well be part of the reasoning. Putting the shoe on the foot - if one is anti-Semite, does one boycott Steven Spielberg's films say, or just the ones he made after he re-discovered the importance of his faith to him?

Re: [MOPO] eBay is now hiding bidder screen-names!
I started straying from ebay a few months back. If I come across something in my ebay 'searches', I check to see if it's a member of MoPo before I bid. If not, I generally skip it. Same thing for magic posters. I just go directly to their private auctions. Some people, like me, only go behind ebay's back because ebay is too sleazy/ sneaky to do good business with. Of course, you can't leave feedback that way, but most of us are interested in the item, not the feedback. Ebay brought this on themselves. Greedy people always seem to cost themselves more $$ directly relating to their greed. ... and so be it, no? My guess is their greed will be their downfall. Andrea On Mar 6, 2008, at 3:01 PM, Patrick Michael Tupy wrote: I agree COMPLETELY! I have had probably 50 times where I have not bid due to a friend being the current high bidder. OR for me, when deciding how much to bid and when, to strategically see what other bidder's history's were in the last 30 days or so could help me gage in some way how high they would 'normally' go in their past auctions. I have ZERO problem with anyone seeing my past history, etc. and as information is power, we are clearly all becoming far less powerful on Ebay where there is so little to be had in the first place. Also, just as an aside, wouldn't being unable to see a bidder's ID encourage some unscrupulous Sellers to shill bid their items. Anywho, as a result, I will likely not bid as often on Ebay due to all the current 'improvements' and end up buying from dealers more. In fact, I already have been. I actually spoke to a rep at Ebay and complained about the new Seller fees and not being able to leave negative feedback while buyers still could. He stated that there was retaliatory feedback happening (yeah, I know, shocking), to which I replied, great, now any bidder can hurt a Seller's rep with impunity, how is that fair? His response, Well, we are putting a huge amount of dedicated manpower toward resolving any complaints etc. and any banned buyer's feedback will be removed retroactively. To which I replied, doesn't the fact that you feel you have to allocate all this new manpower mean that you've actually created a new problem that requires such action on your part.? He said they'd had a lot of complaints about this and he'd 'note' my statements to his managers, etc. I'm sure my complaint this will solve everything.

[MOPO] Hey Bruce - poster dimensions
So here's the thing. I got a poster from Bruce a few months back that I want to buy a frame from Sue for. I went to look on your site and they weren't listed there, but on posters still for sale, I'm finding you have the exact measurements. You may ask why I don't just measure it myself? (Trust me. Better to just get them from his site.) I'm most likely looking in the wrong place. In case anyone else is like me, I thought I'd ask out loud (on MoPo) I mean, I know it's a half sheet, but Sue needs, you know, inches and things like that. I tried posterarchives and got all the info on my poster except that. Are they gone? Were they ever there? Is there another link? Thanks!

Roger's points about sniping and max bids is right on. I would have missed out on some of my prized possessions from your auctions and others had I not been quick on the trigger with the snipe!! I've never used a program. I won and lost many. Many of those items would have possibly climbed into the stratosphere-- or at lease above my ability to compete had the auctions continued.

I ALSO POSTED THOSE COMMENTS TO MOVIE POSTER FORUM A WEEK AGO)! Here is some more on this big change I will be making over the next two months: I want to get out from under the restrictive eBay set-up, where everything has to be done exactly according to their rules, and ALL sellers live under the constant fear that they will break one of eBay's endless and ever-changing rules and enter the Kafka-esque eBay world where you are guilty until proven innocent, and where they try to micro-manage EVERY aspect of the seller's business, from how much you can charge for shipping, to what kinds of posters you can sell, and I am weary of the endless squabbling that I, and my customers do with eBay on a regular basis! I want to expand the ability to bid during auctions, because I have never liked eBay's fixed time ending format, and neither do many bidders, for they are often left with the feeling that items are snatched away from them in the final seconds, and that they would like the chance to bid again. My new site will offer the bidder extended time billing, WHICH IS USED BY EVERY OTHER ONLINE AND LIVE AUCTION COMPANY OTHER THAN EBAY! This means that if you want a certain poster you don?t have to worry about sniping or being outbid with one second left. Under the new system once the lot listed has reached the closing time, it will stay open for bidding until a certain time has passed without a bid, BUT ONLY IF A BID WAS PLACED IN THE FINAL TEN MINUTES FOR THAT PARTICULAR ITEM. This allows two or more bidders to stay with the auction until one collector decides to stop bidding, not when a clock dictates, WHICH IS CURRENTLY HOW IT IS WITH EVERY OTHER ONLINE AND LIVE AUCTION COMPANY OTHER THAN EBAY! Other than this one very significant change, little will be different with our new auctions! Most importantly, just as we have always have in the past, eMoviePoster,com will not be charging a buyers premium when the auction closes, EVEN THOUGH VIRTUALLY EVERY OTHER ONLINE AND LIVE AUCTION DOES! What you bid is the exact amount (plus shipping of course) that you will pay. So, we will be keeping what we believe is good about eBay (no buyer's premiums), but abandoning what we feel is bad (fixed time ending auctions). SINCE WE WILL BE DOING THE AUCTIONS OURSELVES, WE WILL, FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME AFTER 20 YEARS OF AUCTIONS, BE ABLE TO PICK AND CHOOSE WHAT FEATURES WE WANT AND DON'T WANT! Our entire goal will be to continue to provide 100% honest auctions, that treat both consignors and sellers the way we ourselves would like to be treated when WE are the consignor or buyer to an auction!

If you are at a live auction the hammer drops no more bidding on that item, same should happen on an internet auction, if you have the standard ebay seven days then instead open it up to ten days but the end is the end. Otherwise how long will an auction go on for. If a bidder loses out then so be it, he didn't bid enough. We all have had regrest when bidding oh I'd have paid an extra $5 or $10 but what if your opponent had bid an extra $100 or $200 would you go that far? Maybe and mybe not. I am sure we have all learned our lessons and had our fingers burned with getting into auction fever, If that is what you wish to encourage Bruce, but my personal opinion is that it is not a fair way to operate. With open ended auctions you could be accused of greed, with such a business operation that you have Bruce, you don't need to be tarred with such a brush as your turnover is exemplarary. The only other point I would make, if you are dispensing with ebay then you are in the position to makes some savings which you can pass on to your customers both sides. This will encourage punters to bid that little extra more. Apart from that I wish you well with starting your own auction site I am sure it will be a success with all the past reputation you have from ebay. Best of luck.

Dick C. ATTORNEY'S ADVICE - NO CHARGE Read this and make a copy for your files in case you need to refer to it someday. Maybe we should all take some of his advice! A corporate Attorney sent the following out to the employees in his company. 1. Do not sign the back of your credit cards. Instead, put PHOTO ID REQUIRED. 2. When you are writing checks to pay on your credit card Accounts, DO NOT put the complete account number on the For line. Instead, just put the last four numbers. The credit card company knows the rest of the number, and anyone who might be handling your check as it passes through all the check processing channels won't have access to it. 3. Put your work phone # on your checks instead of your home Phone. If you have a PO Box use that instead of your home address. If you do not have a PO Box, use your work address. Never have your SS# printed on your checks. (DUH!) You can add it if it is necessary. But if you have It printed, anyone can get it. 4. Place the contents of your wallet on a photocopy machine. Do both sides of each license, credit card, etc. You will know what you had in your wallet and all of the account numbers and phone numbers to Call and cancel. Keep the photocopy in a safe place. I also carry a Photocopy of my passport when I travel either here or abroad. We've all heard horror stories about fraud that's committed on us in stealing a Name, address, Social Security number, credit cards. Unfortunately, I, an attorney, have firsthand knowledge because my Wallet was stolen last month. Within a week, the thieve(S) ordered an expensive monthly cell phone package, applied for a VISA credit card, had a credit line approved to buy a Gateway computer, received a PIN number from DMV to change my driving record information online, and more. But here's some critical information to limit the damage in case this happens to you or someone you know: 5. We have been told we should cancel our credit cards immediately. But the key is having the toll free numbers and your card Numbers handy so you know whom to call. Keep those where you can find them. 6. File a police report immediately in the jurisdiction where your credit cards, etc., were stolen. This proves to credit providers you were diligent, and this is a first step toward an Investigation (if there ever is one). But here's what is perhaps most important of all: (I never even thought to do this.) 7. Call the 3 national credit reporting organizations immediately to place a fraud alert on your name and also call the Social Security fraud line number. I had never heard of doing that until advised by a bank that called to tell me an application for credit was made over the internet in my name. The alert means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen, and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit. By the time I was advised to do this, almost two weeks after the theft, all the damage had been done. There are records of all the credit checks initiated by the thieves' purchases, none of which I knew about before placing the alert. Since then, no additional damage has been done, and the thieves threw my wallet away this weekend (someone turned it in). It seems to have stopped them dead in their tracks. Now, here are the numbers you always need to contact about your wallet, etc., has been stolen: 1.) Equifax: 800-525-6285 2.) Experian (formerly TRW): 888-397-3742 3.) Trans Union : 800-6807289 4.)

Re: [MOPO] Heath Ledger - Actors and Drugs (Off Topic)
I think it's the human factor. Look at regular people who start out having to climb to the top. We were so poor when I was a kid, we had to... followed by Ah, those were the good ol' days... IMO, the expectation that success is monetary is false. Once one achieves that monetary or fame oriented goal, they realize it wasn't about those things at all. Success is actually measured by love and acceptance from people. It's always been about one's people. Without love, there really is no true success. Alan and I finally got to where we were permanently comfortable, but still fought and got divorced (and remarried to each other). Long story short, I didn't get 'it' until my grandson was born. That in itself changed my whole definition of 'success'. Alan agrees. We are now funded to do just about whatever we want (within reason), but we find ourselves wanting to set up the baby, or get stocks for the baby... whatever it is, we think of splurging last. We've been there and done that, and I promise you, the satisfaction and feeling of success is through this child... not what we acquire or where we eat, or if we fly first class. If we move up, it would just be for more security... not because we want to be snooty. When I find that elusive poster, the feeling of success fades quickly and there's another poster to find. Nope, for me, this child is proof of my success. I have him 24/7, and he doesn't go to day care. I teach him myself. He's 3 yrs and 2 months. He can reboot, refresh, backspace, enter, work all the arrows and type his name on the keyboard. Besides the usual, this child adds, subtracts and is starting to read. He knows what a sloth is and a marmocet. If we lose all our money tomorrow, I'll still be a success (and consider myself wealthy) I think when young people get 'success' so quickly it bitch slaps them that they aren't happy. There are hangers on, suers, and emptiness. They realize their idea of success was empty and alone. It takes age and experience to see some things with a more clear perspective. As far as Heath Ledger goes, I don't think this has to do with him. Just my gut feeling. You got me going, Greg. Thank-you! Andrea K.

This is a long post so you may feel free to delete. Perhaps you will take a moment... This thing about actors and drugs is something that has haunted me for years. I was on the high school newspaper at a time when Saturday Night Live was in its infant stages and also at its height. I thought I'd be cute and told my teacher I wanted to go to New York and interview John Belushi. She said, if you can get him to agree you can go. I guess she figured it would never happen. I called NBC from the office phone and actually got to talk to Belushi. He said they were going to go to New Orleans in a couple of weeks to do a show and when they got back we could set something up. Naturally everyone thought this was a big deal and they couldn't wait for me to talk to him next. I anxiously waited for that New Orleans show to come along. Jerry Lewis' Broadway show Hellzapoppin' was supposed to have a big special on that Sunday but when the show closed before it opened NBC was left with a big gapping hole in their schedule. So they sent the SNL crowd to New Orleans. From what I read it was quite a party. The show, as I remember was not that good. I suspect it had something to do with the fact that a lot of partying was going on. The Tuesday following I called NBC again and once again, miraculously, was put through to John Belushi. The conversation was brief and I could tell that this was not the same John Belushi I had spoken with before. He was a different person. Seemingly not as upbeat. He politely refused my request for an interview saying he'd been misquoted enough in the press. When I pointed out that this was a high school paper he stated the same and said he wasn't going to do any more interviews. Thus ended my brush with Belushi and my hope of going to New York to see SNL. Later when I got to know Dan Ackroyd's father through a mutual friend he intimated that was how Belushi was. Often fueled by drugs he could be one person one day and another person the next. He said if I had called on Wednesday instead of Tuesday Belushi might have said yes. Five years later, in 1982, when I heard Belushi died of drugs I wasn't surprised. It was almost as if that was where he was headed anyway. A disappointment certainly but not a surprise. I've never done anything stronger than aspirin. Subsequently I never got the whole drug thing. A year and half later, in 1983, I was working for the accounting firm Touche Ross. It was without

[MOPO] Well-Read Life™: Let’s Go to the Boovies
http://wellreadlife.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/01/lets-go-to-the.html Thought some of you may enjoy this. It's about which movies were better than the books, or didn't have a book at all. He mentions a few, like Godfather, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Cry the Beloved Country (which I never heard of). I don't recall the corresponding posters to be too popular. It's odd that posters of the classics don't come near what the horror posters go for. Culture doesn't correspond with price; neither does education (Bride of Frankenstein, etc?) So, I think the art is what it's about. However, I'm usually in the minority here.
