However, I also look at it this way: Most collectors of alternative posters do so for the art first, the movie second and the possibility of appreciation third. There are undoubtedly some people out there buying under the unfortunate impression that the posters may increase in value. My feeling, though, is that, as with vintage posters, most collectors of these posters do so because they love the posters themselves. I can’t speak to the motives of the people printing them, I’m not a mind reader. I can say that I believe most of the artists designing them are as passionate about the art and the movies as the collectors. Another thing worth pointing out, no matter what you think of alternative posters, is that the vast majority of collectors are young and that is a good thing for the poster hobby. Especially since it seems some of them (I can’t quote you any numbers) go on to develop an interest in vintage posters. So maybe the alternative posters can be seen as a gateway to collecting vintage. Or maybe that’s wishful thinking on my part. Only time will tell. This is not THE movie poster documentary. It is A movie poster documentary, with the primary focus on alternative posters (that’s why the title is Twenty-Four By Thirty-Six and not Twenty-Seven By Forty-One). But the director, Kevin Burke is making an effort to acknowledge old school posters and poster art, thus the segments on Amsel. Alvin, Struzan, etc. I think that makes it a laudable enterprise and, with all due respect (as they always used to say on the Sopranos), not one to be sneered at.

Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2014 10:59:14 -0400 From: s...@columbus.rr.com Subject: [MOPO] Yahoo Has Broken MoPo (and all internet mailing lists...) To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU After a very long week with a torrent of e-mail bounce reports and mass deletions of long-time MoPo subscribers from the listserv, the issue with Yahoo e-mail accounts (and a few other domains) has become clear. I’m providing the response I received from American University concerning this issue, which includes 3 helpful links that go into great detail about the issue (for those of you who are interested). Bottom line for now….Yahoo e-mail users need to complain to Yahoo….and for now, subscribe with another e-mail account. Other e-mail providers that appear to have also made the change are Gmail, Hotmail, MSN and Comcast. I fear others may follow. ScottMoPo List Owner AU’s response: L-Soft, the listserv vendor, advises: This problem is the result of a Yahoo policy change, and it is a situation which has affected every mailing list provider. There have been a few write-ups regarding it: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2141120/yahoo-email-antispoofing-policy-breaks-mailing-lists.html http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg87153.html https://wordtothewise.com/2014/04/brief-dmarc-primer/ The result is, among other things, that when a Yahoo user posts to a mailing list using their yahoo.com email address, sites that support DMARC records will reject the message, resulting in bounces. My understanding is that this action by Yahoo is specifically a response to an ongoing attack against Yahoo users attempting to compromise their accounts and then send email from that Yahoo user to their contacts – Yahoo has been able to block this outgoing spam through their own mail servers, but then ran into a problem with the attackers using external mail servers to send the spam. Their new DMARC policy helps put a stop to that, at the cost of various sorts of inconvenience to their users, such as losing the ability to participate in mailing lists. So depending on how things progress we can hope that this new policy will change or will go away. Certainly a number of people and organizations, L-Soft included, are suggesting that this would be a good way for Yahoo to go. At this point, Scott, it doesn't appear that there is anything we, or L-Soft, can do, except have your users write to Yahoo and request they change their policy.

Re: [MOPO] Dealer Posts on MoPo
I, for one, don't have any real problem with dealer FS/FA posts. Sometimes, I actually discover something that I want to buy...and might have missed had the dealer not pointed out the item in his post. and if I don't want to be bothered, there's always the 'delete button. Richard Del Belso Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2014 12:02:26 -0500 From: s...@columbus.rr.com Subject: [MOPO] Dealer Posts on MoPo To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU This is a little long, so my apologies in advance… One point to make here about many of the dealers who post to MoPo is that they are abiding by the long-standing request to add “FA” or “FS” to their subject line. (One Mexican lobby card dealer does not add “FA” or “FS” to his posts, but you can’t miss his unique subject lines if you’re trying to avoid his ads.) If you’re a dealer posting to MoPo and not adding “FA” or “FS” to your subject lines, I would appreciate your doing that going forward. Depending on how you read your e-mail, it is possible in some programs to sort messages based on subject line and send them directly to the folder of your choice, be it the recycle bin should you so desire. MS Outlook has this feature. I’m not familiar with other e-mail programs, but I have to assume such a feature is not exclusive to Outlook. Of course if you get MoPo in digest form, you can’t do this. While I understand the argument that a movie poster discussion group is hindered by an overload of “FA” or” FS” posts, the business of collecting means we have to buy and sell to grow (or liquidate) our collections. It is a necessary part of the hobby. Eliminating such posts from MoPo will not spark an explosion of movie poster discussion. Trust me on this. The real problem here is not the dealer posts, but the ability of MoPo members to effectively MANAGE their e-mail. However, if the membership thinks this needs addressed we can ask that dealers to limit themselves to 1 commercial post per day. Thoughts?? Dealers can “talk their fingers off” if they want to send non-biz related posts and share their wealth of knowledge with all of us! J The lament that MoPo has no meaningful public discussions going on has come up many times since the group started in 1995. If I had the time I’d try to chart the “cycle” of MoPo complaints over the years…that would be interesting! The group has mellowed considerably from the early days (remember the Donnie/Style B revolt? Or the controversial posts of the late Susan Olsen? Who could forget the Susan vs JR battle in 2006?). MoPo has matured into the quiet forum it is today. Everything changes and evolves over time (i.e. the Oscars anyone?) After all MoPo is now moving towards 20 years of service and is the oldest poster forum on the Internet. As I said in my Feb. 24th post on our 19th birthday….”But will be make it to 20? Should we?” Maybe we ARE all talked out!

Re: [MOPO] A Few Words About Your Poster Images On Our Internet
wow, David... this is terrific. Lots of info I never had before. Thank you!! RDB Richard Del Belso Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 22:18:10 +1100 From: shadow@gmail.com Subject: [MOPO] A Few Words About Your Poster Images On Our Internet To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Hi All In keeping with the teach a man to fish saying here’s another article I thought I would put together for those of you who have an online movie poster store, might be a good idea to grab a coffee and a notepad, there will be a test later… Movie posters are a visual thing, it's probably the one thing that sets them apart from most other products you can buy online – you don’t have to try them on, you don’t have believe they will peel the potatoes better or faster, and you generally don’t find they enlarge anything -so it probably makes sense that how you visually deliver them to the internet is just as important as what you price them at, right? Damn Right! I would like to offer a few tips on Types, Size and SEO when it comes to images -- Types There are three main 'types' of images used on the internet. jpg (or jpeg), gif and png. JPEG - This is the most common used and probably the best to use for most colour and/or detail images. The main reason is you don’t lose much detail and quality when you reduce the size. GIF – These are good to use for icons and single colour images but not so for colour ones, this is mainly because reducing the size (kb) and maintaining quality is nigh on impossible. PNG - A good option - there are two version png-8 and png-24, the latter is great for logos and images the former is lighter (kb). But, they tend to be heavier (kb) Personally, unless you have the program (like Photoshop) and you know what you are doing, stick with jpegs. -- Image Size So, how big should your image be when clicked on (to be enlarged) on your website? This is a personal preference - but you have to bear in mind screen size, with the exception of a few dealers (who do it for quality of their sales) Supersize is probably not necessary. First up - I recommend uniformity - it simply good design on a website and secondly the first image seen should be a thumbnail. A thumbnail is actually a reduced version of the bigger image – it is a SEPARATE image to the big one – too many people simply make the big one small in size but it’s actually still a full size image and weighs a lot (takes a long time to load).e.g. (and we all have seen it) an image takes forever to load on a website yet it’s quite small in size – why it that? Simply: you've not change the weight of your image, you just told your web page that when it shows this picture here it should be ‘pretend to be smaller’ size. In other words you’ve made the surfer look at your elephant through the wrong end of the binoculars but it’s still a full size elephant! Now, as to ideal size of your larger image, well that’s up to you but I recommend around 800-1000px (long side) x whatever the ratio is on the short side. Unfortunately, that’s just half of it - making your image smaller isn't always making it lighter (less kb), you also NEED to optimise your images too - if you have Photoshop (or similar) then you probably already know what to do. If not… Just as the size of your image is important (width x height) equally so is the 'weight' of your image (kb); in an ideal world for our hobby you should have an image that is (say) 800px X 530 px and is less than 100kb. With mobile phone surfing prevalent these days it's more and more important to optimise your images as a courtesy to your client. So, optimise your images - either invest in a program or there are free ones out there (search: https://www.google.com/webhp?tab=wwei=KBQNU4SbH5DqrQf8lICICAved=0CBEQ1S4#q=image+optimizer) Here's some free online ones you can try that I have already tested for you (I liked the first one) http://jpeg-optimizer.com/ http://www.imageoptimizer.net/ http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/imageoptimizer/ Of course the next step
Re: [MOPO] Our 19th Birthday: Not Dead Yet!
Happy Birthday, MoPo! 19 years is pretty good, but I'm sure there's still a lot of maturing to do. I vote...YES!...let's make sure it's still around for number 20!! Richard Del Belso Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2014 12:07:15 -0500 From: s...@columbus.rr.com Subject: [MOPO] Our 19th Birthday: Not Dead Yet! To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU How interesting that Helmut posted his analysis of MoPo posts from the past week TODAY, which just happens to be MoPo’s 19th birthday. As Bruce then commented, the other 2 existing poster forums “are pretty dead” as well. Are we really all talked out? Has Facebook taken over the world? Is MoPo an Internet dinosaur and no longer necessary? Questions to ponder…but first, as I always do every February 24th, a brief review of MoPo history… On February 24, 1995 the first official MoPo post was distributed via American University’s listserv. For a few weeks prior to that launch date, the handful of original MoPo members simply cc’d their e-mail messages to the other people in the group (there were 11 at the beginning). In keeping with my annual tradition, I’d like to recognize those MoPo pioneers: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cindy Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, myself (your humble listowner) and AOL’er Static555—real name Jeff Static. Michael, Rob and Evan are still members. Cindy sadly passed away in June 2008, but her husband Jay has taken her place on MoPo. Hats off to all the MoPo originals! I’d also like to send out my annual thank you to American University, our generous host. I’m surprised, but grateful, they continue to maintain their listserv system, a relic from the early days of the Internet. Yes, it has limitations (no fancy graphics, mail delivery issues) but it still serves our intimate group well. Happy 19th Birthday MoPo! But will we make it to 20? Should we? My deepest thanks to all of you for the ride (so far) and for however long it lasts!

Re: [MOPO] Kudaka and Lippincott
This is a very fine summary, Grey, which clears up a lot of the unexplained issues. Thanks for posting it. I hope this will put the topic to rest. Richard Richard Del Belso Date: Mon, 11 Jun 2012 15:01:47 -0500 From: gre...@ha.com Subject: [MOPO] Kudaka and Lippincott To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU I feel I must now respond to Ms. Kudaka’s bizarre accusations of “missing or stolen” posters, and the ongoing discussions about her accusations on MOPO. Many of your know me personally, and know how hard I work to maintain my credibility and reputation. I have taken thousands of consignments in my eleven years with Heritage Auctions, and have sold well over $50 million in movie posters. In all that time, I cannot recall anyone ever accusing me or Heritage of stealing their movie posters before this! In fact most of our consignments come from repeat sellers and their friends, and I believe our consignor satisfaction ratings compare favorably with those of any of the world’s auction houses. Here is a link to all of the documents we just sent to Ms. Kudaka’s attorney, including a letter from Heritage’s attorney, in answer to her inquiry as to how her husband and her posters were handled while with Heritage: http://movieposters.ha.com/images/Lippincott-060512.pdf Ms. Kudaka’s accusation that items were lost or stolen are contradicted by the evidence. Other than Rudy Franchi’s referral, all of my initial dealings were directly with Mr. Lippincott via telephone and emails. Prior to receiving her complaints I had no contact whatsoever with Ms. Kudaka, who, it seems, remains very confused concerning the business her husband did with Heritage. For example, she states that from their first consignment we did not inform them that a Clockwork Orange poster would be sold at a later date than their other posters. In fact, a schedule was made at almost the very same time as her other posters were inventoried and both of those were mailed to them, as seen in the documents within the link. In a phone discussion with Mr. Lippincott, soon after the first consignment arrived, I informed him that Heritage had just sold a slightly better condition R-Rated revamp campaign poster for Clockwork in the previous November of 2009 auction http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7014lotNo=89585 and therefore I thought it best to wait until July of 2010 to sell the one he had sent me. I explained that running one right after the other may not be the best way to get a better price. He told me he was happy to do that and indeed that is what we did: In July of 2010, a few months after we’d auctioned the rest of their material (in March of 2010), we auctioned the Clockwork poster http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=7025lotNo=83150 for a very solid price. Now if that is not looking out for a consignor, tell me what is? Ms. Kudaka now claims they did not sign an agreement to sell that poster. Again, she is confused, as Mr. Lippincott signed a Master agreement which covered the sale of any of their material for one year (among the documents linked to, above). She then claims that she and Mr. Lippincott mailed us material from which several posters went missing. However, as you can also see in the linked attachment documents, several days after mailing us an unsolicited consignment, Mr. Lippincott emailed me a list of what was mailed. The spreadsheet, again in the linked documents, shows exactly what was mailed from Mr. Lippincott to us, and on that spreadsheet there is no Get Carter one sheet nor a John and Yoko one sheet that Ms. Kudaka now claims were sent. She is simply wrong, as easily seen by the spreadsheet. In fact, after realizing that the two posters she later claimed were sent to us had not arrived, I asked in an email to her why she thought those had been sent. In response, she emailed back, “Charley jots the list down on a legal pad of what is going out.” Ms. Kudaka still apparently didn’t (and perhaps still doesn’t) realize that Mr. Lippincott had already sent me the spreadsheet, and they were not jotted down there. Very soon after I received Mr. Lippincott’s unsolicited, second consignment, I phoned him and explained that the posters he mailed were not of enough value for a Signature auction then asked whether he would care to sell in a weekly auction or would he rather I just mail them back. He replied something to the effect of, “I don’t know but will let you know soon.” I guess my mistake, if there was one, at that time was that I did not contact Mr. Lippincott again to remind him that I still had his posters in a secure spot and to ask him again what he wanted us to do with them. By the way, an unsolicited consignment, for those of you not familiar with the term, means a potential consignment that was never discussed with us or approved by us prior to being shipped. Ms. Kudaka claims we did not handle Mr. Lippincott’s second batch of material

Sal Oliveri, Film Shows, Inc and Studio Conservation, Inc. Docket No.: BER-L-383-10 ORDER GRANTING FINAL JUDGMENT BY DEFAULT PROOF HEARING Dear Hon. Brian R. Martinotti, J.S.C.: I am the defendant, Diane Jeffrey, in the above case. I have been informed that on April 13, 2012 or later, the plaintiff in this case will seek an order from you granting Final Judgment by Default. I have enclosed a letter regarding this case, previously sent to the court, for your review. It is my understanding that since I was not in a financial position to retain counsel, in order to defend myself, a motion for a Final Judgment will be granted, against me. I also understand that the plaintiff will be required to show proof of damages. As the enclosed letter indicates, I did not interfere with a contract between Plaintiff and Profiles In History, as said contract was null and void when it was discovered that the consignment material was fake. Plaintiff can not prove damages in this case. Therefore, I am respectively requesting that your Judgment be in the amount, no greater than $1.00.

Very truly yours, Diane Jeffrey CC: Motion Clerk, Civil Division Law Offices of Charles Shaw Profiles In History April 14, 2011 Honorable Charles E. Powers, Jr., J.S.C. Superior Court of New Jersey Bergen County Justice Center 10 Main Street, Chambers 335 Hackensack, New Jersey 07601 Re: Docket No.: BER-L-383-10 Thomas Rega v. Sal Oliveri, Film Shows, Inc. and Studio Conservation, Inc. Dear Judge Powers: I am writing to you with regard to the above case, which is one of the cases over which you are presiding. My name is Diane Jeffrey, and I am the owner of Studio Conservation Inc. I am writing to you due to the fact that I am not represented by an attorney because I am unable to afford the fees required for representation. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to advise you of some very important facts regarding this case: I have no knowledge of or any dealings with Sal Oliveri, Film Shows, Inc. Basically, I do not know nor have I ever met this person. Studio Conservation Inc. was a service business that restored art and collectible items, including old movie posters. My first contact with Mr. Rega took place in early 2009 when he hired me to restore a one-sheet Dracula poster. I restored the poster to Mr. Rega’s specifications and returned it to him. Later in the year, a poster with the same title and graphics appeared on the cover of a catalogue published by the auction house Profiles In History. The poster was featured for sale in their next auction with an estimated price of $200,000 to $300,000. It was considered to be a rare item. Because it was considered to be a rare item and because over 100 other “high end” Universal Studio horror movie posters had recently been proven to be fake, this particular Dracula poster was being scrutinized by many in the movie poster hobby community even though it had a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Poster Mountain. (Poster Mountain is a vintage poster and fine art conservation and restoration company.) At that time I did not know if this was the same poster that I had restored for Mr. Rega; however, there were similarities in the restoration performed on the poster in the auction and the one that I had done for Mr. Rega. Thus, I contacted Poster Mountain first to offer my knowledge of the poster, if, in fact, it was the same poster. It was only after Poster Mountain refused my information that I indicated on a public forum that I had worked on a poster with the same title and graphics a few months before the catalogue was published. I described the specific restoration on the Dracula poster sent to me by Mr

And was I the only one who kept wondering if he might have looked and performed better if he hadn't had his very obvious plastic surgery? And isn't it a bad sign when the best segment was the circus art, which has zero to do with movies. It hit me when they did the In Memorium segment, and there were tons of behind the scenes people no one knows, with a few famous faces thrown in. They have successfully turned the Oscars into the Golden Globes, filled with insiders and inside jokes, where they pretty much ignore the viewing public, and give the awards to the movies THEY like. the kind that the critics fawn over, but which not many people actually see. Of course, this transformation has been going on for many years, but at least they used to pretend to care about the people who make it all possible, those who buy the tickets. And in a day when movies face more and more competition from all sorts of other kinds of entertainment, it may not be just the awards ceremony that sees its number of viewers continuing to fall in coming years. This was once must-viewing for me. and I have watched it every year, but I think I will skip it next year. Bruce -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 24 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.

To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU I can’t let the day pass without mentioning another MoPo milestone…. Birthday Number 17! On February 24, 1995 the first MoPo post was distributed via American University’s listserv. For a few weeks prior to that date, the original MoPo members simply cc’d their e-mail messages to the other 11 people in the group. In keeping with my annual tradition, I’d like to recognize those 11: Mahtab Moayeri, Michael Danese, Rob Ellis, Donna Tschetter, Goh Kai Shen, Evan Zweifel, George Nichol, Cynthia Nemeth-Johannes, Adam Ehrlich, myself (your humble listowner) and AOL’er Static555—who for the first time I can finally identify as Jeff Static. For years I was unsure of Static555’s real name, but by digging through the early MoPo archives I finally stumbled upon his true identity. Michael, Rob and Evan are still members. Thanks to you all for keeping MoPo alive these 17 years even in the face of a lot of competition from those more graphically-enhanced discussion boards. Also a big thanks to American University for the use of their ever-reliable listserv system, a dinosaur that they continue to support. And thanks to the original 11 who got MoPo off to a fine start way back in 1995.

Also some further accreditation contained in it: Joe Caroff — West Side Story Poster I came across a conversation regarding The West Side Story movie poster controversy “Bass or Caroff” yuku.com. I can tell you without a doubt that it was designed by Joseph Caroff. Joe and I were partners for 20 years. He had an ongoing relationship with UA and art director David Chasman (for whom he designed the original 007 logo for a press release. It was so successful it was picked up as the film logo.). I have seen this mix up on many sites. Joe kept a very low profile but he is responsible for some of the great film posters of the 20th century. Cabaret, A Hard Days Night… During our time together we designed The Last Temptation of Christ poster and opening film title sequence for Martin Scorsese and The Handmaides Tale for Volker Schlondorff.

Dr. Volin should be all over it. I was there to pick up a few frames Claude was selling but came away feeling it would have been worth the two hour trip from long island just to see the collection or should I say part of it. It's one thing to see these posters in catalogues it's another to see them framed on the wall, and were talking a lot of walls. Unfortunately time was limited and Claude was having work done in the house but he gave me a quick tour including a look at his most prized poster the only known copy of a one sheet for Charley Chan The Black Camel. As many of you may know, Claude is a huge Chan poster collector.

[MOPO] AMPAS show on Bob Peak
This is a note to poster lovers in the LA area... Last night, I went to see the show on the art of Bob Peak, installed in the fourth floor galleries of the Motion Picture Academy building on Wilshire Blvd.. I thought it was wonderful and very illuminating, and if you live in the area you should really make the effort to drop in and see it. The show is open to the general public and it is free...though parking in the area can be tricky for people who aren't Academy members. The works on display include the original paintings that were used to create such iconic posters as MY FAIR LADY. SUPERMAN, CAMELOT, EXCALIBUR, STAR TREK and APOCALYPSE NOW, as well as the Clint Eastwood Clyde movies...and also other versions which were not used for the final campaign but which are equally interesting. You can take in the whole show in about 45 minutes and I'm sure you will find it time well spent.

The artwork is different from the 1-sheet (see) http://www.moviegoods.com/movie_poster/the_great_gatsby_1949.htm and more like Two Years Behind the Mast http://www.moviegoods.com/movie_poster/two_years_before_the_mast_1946.htm I have 2 questions for you: 1) Is this just a case of Paramount using some leftover artwork from a previous film, or is there a bathing suit scene in this movie?? 2) What other posters have images of the stars taken from other roles on them?

I couldn't do it. Also, the market can absorb a lot of a good thing. Again, with first edition books, about 15 years ago, the first two books by a popular writer were remaindered by a big remainder company. About 300 of each hit the market at once. The company limited sales of two of each per buyer. The books previously sold for about 200 each. None were sold other than the remainders for a few years. Then, while no one noticed, the prices were back to what they used to be. Over time, for good posters, new buyers will increase demand and that will prop up the price I think.

But there's no reason not to do as many on this list have suggested: Keep a couple for yourself and trickle out the rest very slowly into the market. This is so obvious you'd think everyone would understand it -- yet I see people on Ebay all the time listing 4 or 5 of the same item at the same time and calling it rare in their descriptions. And then there's this ever-popular Ebay ploy: An item that is reasonably scarce (but not truly rare) sells on Ebay for a decent price (usually because no one has put one of those particular things up for a month or two). Suddenly every seller in the world who has the same item immediately lists it on Ebay within a few days of the first sale -- all of them thinking they are also going to get the good price, when in fact all they are doing is guaranteeing they will not. They think they will pick up the second bidder who missed the first item by only a buck or two? Not if that second bidder suddenly sees 4 or 5 of the same item turn up right after he lost the first auction. What he's going to do instead is wipe his brow and say Whew... lucky I got outbid on that first auction...

I've been collecting for about 15 years ..I am enjoying where the hobby is at..I'm having a heyday purchasing rare material .I enjoy the speculation.and taking chances..I'm spending good money on what I love and often scoring..Is the hobby in uncertain waters? are older collectors completing their collections?...is.ebay malnourished and castrating (yes actually) ...are new collectors stagnant? .bla bla bla bla. Honestly WHO can convert new serious collectors.. ..You have to have serious Interest and self education to enter a collecting hobby from scratch..It takes a rare combination of passion or classic film enthusiasm and opportunity to catch the bug to step into this collecting intellect... experience is another huge factor ..as for nostalgia... I was born in 1980 yet I have a keen sense for what I covet and it all started with the love for the films.as they were introduced to me..my new collecting habits are a domino effect from the introduction of new films and rare paper...because of that I collect the way I do..am I the only twenty something to have a prized group of early Buster Keaton and chaplin lobbies, a few dozen early Marx Brothers, early laurel and hardy and wheeler and woolsey pieces, mack sennett 3 sheets, a silent w.c. fields one sheet and about 150 abbott and costello posters and lobbies, all picked out individually over the last 15 years...who cares?... I've never seen a single one of these films in the theatre but I love the films and paper just the same...when the material surfaces it has a mystique and allure that I crave...

Re: [MOPO] Slabbed Lobby Cards at Heritage
The key here is that the card can easily be removed from the slab by the new buyer. i don't think most people object to the idea of an independent grading assessment, but they don't like the idea of having their beautiful card stuck in a slab of plastic. RDB Richard Del Belso Date: Thu, 1 Jul 2010 12:46:23 -0500 From: gre...@ha.com Subject: Re: [MOPO] Slabbed Lobby Cards at Heritage To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Thank you, Cory, for a voice of reason. This is a small hobby and for it to grow or that matter for any hobby, business, or enterprise of any nature, often one must try to embrace or at least realize that there will be change. To try to ignore these changes is like living in 1980 and believing the personal computer couldn’t be good for much unless you were an accountant! I cannot help but believe many young people would love to be involved in this wonderful hobby, yet there is such a strong contingent of “older” people in this field that perhaps they feel intimidated by or believe that unless they know more they would never be accepted. And I include myself in that older group! This will help give the newer buyers more confidence and will inevitably bring more material and buyers into the market. How can there be a damaging effect by removing the owner from the grading of a lobby and turning it over to an accredited group who have no financial gain in how a card grades, hurt anyone but perhaps the seller wanting to pass off a lesser card? Confidence is what we are addressing here. I am not sure how many have bought a poster that was not graded as they felt was fair, but I dare say, a large percentage of buyers. At Heritage we have constantly tried to improve our grading and in contrast to what some of our competitors will claim, we very rarely get any complaint or return for grade or quality, I am proud to say. Now, bear in mind that so much of what is bought in posters is now purchased over the internet and a buyer is going by an image online only! I cannot help but believe that by taking the grading out of the seller’s hands where lobby cards are concerned and putting them in the hands of a company that is highly qualified in the grading fields, who has nothing to gain but the cost of grading and has been in that field for comics for over ten years and in the other hobbies for, I believe, over 23 years, will bring a great lot of credibility to this hobby. I hear some say, “Oh, I can’t touch it so I wouldn’t want it!” Do you not have a pair of scissors? Cut the card out of the slab and frame it with the saved grading label put on the back of the frame! You know what you have bought!! If you go to sell it, either the potential buyer or seller could have it re-graded. On one other note, I see where there is concern that if something is bought and the graders have missed a “forged” card, what sort of recourse is there? First of all you must believe that CGC has been fully appraised and is aware of the forgeries and yes, they do stand behind what they grade, financially. It is called a guarantee. From: MoPo List [mailto:mop...@listserv.american.edu] On Behalf Of Cory Glaberson Sent: Thursday, July 01, 2010 7:50 AM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] Slabbed Lobby Cards at Heritage The point of slabbing is exactly as Bruce writes - its designed to assure people new to the hobby that the cards are real and graded properly. These new collectors don't know Bruce or Rich, don't know how to grade lobby cards and don't know who to trust. But they still are interested in collecting and investing. CGC has been around long enough in enough different hobbies to maintain credibility. These new collectors might be speculators and might drive up prices to amazing levels - but I am having a hard time thinking that's a bad thing. So slabbing will bring in more customers, some of who might actually become real collectors, drive up prices on the better material and make the dealers more money and the worth of collections higher. What's the objection? If it works out like it did in comics - it actually DROPPED the prices of lesser material. Only the very top pieces maintained the huge overguide prices. It does mean that the people who now are at the top of the hobby will have to adjust to the new reality and that means winners and losers. It will complicate bragging rights as well. A Collector will have a killer card, but these newbies won't be impressed until its slabbed and graded professionally. But its a good thing to shake up move memorabila collecting once in a while (in a good not the Haggard way). Adrian on the other hand does have a point - can these comic book guys be trusted to grade lobby cards? Some of my friends say absolutely not. The CGC guys will get it spectacularly wrong in the beginning, but after a while they conqueror the learning curve. Then slabbing will take

For the life of me I don't understand how so-called big-time dealers can appreciate the efforts that Steve and crew go through to put on the only major gathering for poster collectors left, fly in from say New York and then not respect the event or organizers enough to even buy a membership badge. Shame on you and your cheapness. Is it really too much to ask for you to spend $15 on a membership? You have no problem spending $300K on a Dracula one-sheet, how about a little bit for the show that you fly out to every year to buy from?) A lot of people were naturally curious to see some of the Universal horror fakes up close and with some great assistance from Jim Gresham and Grey Smith we were able to educate people about this problem all weekend, showing several examples: Ghost of Frankenstein 3-sheet and Insert, Frankenstein R-47 1-sheet, Creature From the Black Lagoon 1-sheet, and a couple of lobby cards. At least 100 people stopped by our tables over the weekend to to get a better look at these infamous pieces, most collectors and dealers were shocked to see how nice these items appeared in person, and it was a great feeling to be able help so many people learn about them. Saturday brought a heavier turnout than Friday (attendance for the weekend was very strong despite the economy with nearly 700 people coming out), and we enjoyed some nice sales through-out the day (possibly benefiting from the absence of dealers in the room at times as John has pointed out) and even had a few customers bring posters specifically to the show for us to buy. All told we had a great buying weekend, spending well into the five figures for much needed material (some of which will be featured in our next no-reserve .99¢ auction starting in the next week or two). Although we refrained from spending too much on stills during the weekend, we also noticed that they seemed to be a very hot commodity with many collectors and dealers trading briskly in them. Unfortunately, one of the things that we usually enjoy the most turned out to be very disappointing - the annual Vintage Poster Art Auction. Sarcastically I can say - The auction was a resounding success, with a surprisingly low 77% pass rate given the high reserves, over grading, and undisclosed restoration; or taking a more realistic look at it as Bruce did in his weekly e-mail message - It is probably time for Morrie to take a second look at the auction and make some changes to make it more competitive with the other market forces and a more enjoyable event altogether. And I say what I am about to with the utmost respect for Morrie, he is one of the true gentleman in the hobby/business and has a love and knowledge of posters that is second to none. This was the first year for me that the auction catalog didn't arrive until after the auction was over (though I have heard of this happening

To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU You want a worst-packing description - I'll give you a worst packing description. A middle-grade auction house with no experience in posters (yes, I know I should have been wary) had a movie poster auction a few years ago. Most of the items were uttterly unremarkable but there were a few of passing interest and I duly submitted my maximum bids and waited to see what would happen. I won three lots at precisely my maximum bid - quite the coincidence. Two items had to be sent flat and were packed quite well, however the Bullitt 1-sheet was tightly rolled into a flimsy (I could crush it with my little finger) tube about 1.5 in diameter. Bad enough you might think, but the kicker was the tube was about 6 too short so the packer got a second. equivalent tube to cover the exposed 6, squeezed the open end of the first tube into the second piece so the combined length now covered the poster, then used a stapler to hold the two pieces of tube together. Since the poster was right next to the area where the tube pieces overlapped the multiple staples went right through the tube and into the poster, and since the poster was so tightly rolled each staple made about eight holes. The poster was probably in quite good condition before being sent, but on arrival it had multiple crush marks and more perforations than a tea bag.

Hope that's not becoming a common practice. Window cards do tend to be packed very poorly because of their size, and they are easily damaged when packed cheaply. Sometimes an Ebay seller surprises me how well they pack WC's, but most times they are packed as cheap as possible. (The professional poster sellers on Ebay are not a problem as far as packing goes.) The worst packed I've ever seen was the 1/2 sheet I received in a small envelope. The poster had been folded to 1/8's to get it in the envelope. A 50 year old poster totally destroyed.

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/ ), 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.

Trying to get McCarthy to give up the identity of the man who helped him kill the Scalvos, Spilotro first beat McCarthy, then stabbed him in the testicles with an icepick, before finally shoving his head in a vise and crunching it to five inches wide; McCarthy didn't give up the name of his partner, Jimmy Miraglia, until Spilotro tightened the vise in such a way that one of Billy's eyes popped out.

Re: [MOPO] What WERE the best film biographies of popular singers?
You want a real biography? See a documentary. Movie bios are sort of loose riffs on a person's life and accuracy isn't always sought after...a good story is.

Re: [MOPO] Metropolis 2010 Restoration
Wolfgang... i'm so jealous! That must have been a fantastic evening! i'm hoping that they will send the print here to los angeles, (or a new print) so we can see it with a live orchestra here. Can't wait! Thanks for the report. Richard Del Belso Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:59:03 +0100 From: m...@fantompaper.com Subject: [MOPO] Metropolis 2010 Restoration To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU I just watched the restored two and a half hour version, restored with the Argentine 16mm print that was found last year, adding approx 30mins to the previous versions. In general I’m mostly surprised how well the film works, haven’t seen Metropolis since maybe 10 years. It has the original score played live by Berlin philharmonic orchestra and the original titles. The restored scenes appear to be recognized at a glimpse due to the quality, the restoration improved them but they couldn’t work miracles, as there were no comparisons to the lost scenes except stills. What was most noticeable to me as new besides some bits and pieces: -entirely new images of the statue of HEL (the original machine-woman) created by mad scientist Rotwang, and pointing out that Rotwang, the inventor, created it because he fell in love/adored the real Hel (wife of the city-leader) before she died, so he recreated her (and transforms this robot to the ‘whore of babylon’-Doppelganger of Maria soon afterwards in the film) - more images of Moloch, the man-feeding machine -A short but wild montage scene showing the sins of upper-class Metropolis (gambling, prostitution) -A new character (called ‘Der Schmale’ = ‘The Narrow’ (or The Thin man) who is the guard of the upper class leader Should be out on DVD soon. -This restoration (done in only a half year by the Murnau Stiftung) cost 600.000 Euro. -In a documentary that was shown afterwards it was told that the original complete 35mm negative was copied to 16mm (with major loss of picture quality by this process and afterwards) in Argentina not before the 70s! and destroyed – because the owner was afraid of the danger of nitrate film and didn’t have the money to make a 35mm copy, but they didn’t know what they had of course -The German poster (the confirmed sale 2 years or so ago) sold for about the same amount than this restoration cost. -Production cost of the film was an est. of 3.5 Mill Reichsmark back then (about 15 Million Euro today) Cheers, Wolfgang Kinoart.net 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.

Richard Richard Del Belso Date: Mon, 8 Feb 2010 13:21:30 -0600 From: s...@learnaboutmovieposters.com Subject: Re: [MOPO] OT TO: JOE, MARTY, ED AND SUE To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU There are very few times when I'm left without words -- Ed can attest to that. But watching the game last night, surrounded by my family, I could not find words to express my feelings. Our two grown children decided to watch the game with me because they didn't know what I'd do if we won. I'm afraid I probably disappointed them -- I think they were waiting for my head to spin around or something:) Only a fellow who dat can really appreciate what this means for this area. Everyone has heard all of the Hurricane Katrina comparisons. But no one talks about the other time in our history the Saints helped with rebuilding. The New Orleans area took an almost direct hit from Hurricane Betsy in September of 1965. While the flooding was not as widespread as it was in Katrina, it was still devastating, particularly for the Ninth Ward, the Gentilly and the West Bank areas. Betsy was the first billion dollar hurricane -- and that was in 1965 without inflation adjustments. During early 1966, there was talk of this area getting its own professional football team. Just like with Katrina, many people were asking how we could be talking about a football team when the city was still in recovery. But many others felt that a new organization could help with not only the rebuilding, but the racial tension that had been brewing under the new intergration movement. On November 1st, 1966 (All Saints Day), we were granted a franchise that would soon become part of the very fiber of this area. That love affair has continued for 43 years -- through the good and the bad. For me personally, it has been way too long of a wait. I had the great fortune to be at the very first Saints football game in 1967. I was thirteen years old and remember it like it was yesterday. This win is somewhat bittersweet -- I remember my Dad and other family and friends who waited for years for this but are no longer here. I can only hope that there was a big screen in heaven! And Kirby -- you will never understand just how much we appreciated your kindness during our stay in Austin. THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS ARE THE SUPERBOWL CHAMPS! Sorry but I have to keep repeating it.

Congratulations, Glenn! This is great...can't wait to see it.

Re: [MOPO] OT: Luise Rainer, 100, speaking in London earlier today
Great report! Thanks for sharing! made me wish I had been there, too
Richard Del Belso
Date: Mon, 1 Feb 2010 17:34:49 -0800
From: neiljawor...@yahoo.co.uk
Subject: [MOPO] OT: Luise Rainer, 100, speaking in London earlier today
To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU
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

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.

Re: [MOPO] OT Golden Globes Tribute To Martin Scorsese

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.

Re: [MOPO] HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE.....
thanks, Freeman. this is one of my favorite Christmas songs. So is the other one (the christmas song). It seems like several of the most popular christmas songs are from movies (Have yourself... , SILVER BELLS, WHITE CHRISTMAS, etc.) I enjoyed reading the article. They say movies are a collaborative art form...this goes to show My favorite Christmas movies remain IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE and REMEMBER THE NIGHT. Happy Holidays to all.

I can't imagine why they wanted to mess with the original lyrics... :) MERRY CHRISTMAS everybody!!! -- JR flixs...@aol.com wrote: 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 | 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

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.

Seriously, there is a definite shift in collection taste. I noticed that the Ossessione fotobusta set did not sell for a $300 opening bid. Just two years ago they were making 3 or 4 times that price easily. I am the happy winner of a Thief Of Bagdad onesheet in very fine condition for $365 including BPM. A year or two ago I bid $1200 for a similar( or the same )one at Bruce's without a chance of winning it.
