Re: [MOPO] URGENT: around five hours ago, our auction galleries stopped updating with the latest prices from the actual auctions
Hi Bruce, I already noticed something strange was going on when I was placing bids this morning, but thought it was IE again. A lot of posters had zero bids, but if you clicked on them to bid they did have bids. Will all previous bids still be recorded or do we need to place them again?

The problem is solely in our gallery, not with the actual auctions! As soon as our programmer gets to work, he will fix the synch problem, and the galleries will be fine, and there will be no need for bidders to do anything! This has happened before, but in the daytime, so it only lasted a few minutes until it was fixed.

[MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool!
From one of the greatest films ever made, this lobby shows one of the best (and strangest) opening scenes in a movie EVER: A few of the LAPD's Finest fish Joe Gillis' (Bill Holden's) body out of Norma Desmond's (Gloria Swanson's) swimming pool.

Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool!
From Wikiland The film's dark, shadowy black-and-white film noir cinematography was the work of John F. Seitz. Wilder had worked with him several times before, and trusted his judgment, allowing him to make his own decisions. Seitz recalled asking Wilder what he required for the pet chimpanzee's funeral scene. Wilder replied, you know, just your standard monkey funeral shot. For some interior shots, Seitz sprinkled dust in front of the camera before filming to suggest mustiness, a trick he had also used for Double Indemnity (1944). Wilder was adamant that the corpse of Joe Gillis be seen from the bottom of the pool, but creating the effect was difficult. The camera was placed inside a specially made box and lowered underwater, but the result disappointed Wilder, who insisted on further experiments. The shot was finally achieved by placing a mirror on the bottom of the pool and filming Holden's reflection from above with the distorted image of the policemen standing around the pool and forming a backdrop. - Original Message - From: Posteropolis To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2012 1:00 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool!

Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool!
Wow. Had no idea. Very cool. Peter From: MoPo List [mailto:mopo-l@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU] On Behalf Of Phillip W. Ayling Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2012 4:44 PM To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Subject: Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool! From Wikiland The film's dark, shadowy black-and-white http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black-and-white film noir http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_noir cinematography was the work of John F. Seitz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_F._Seitz . Wilder had worked with him several times before, and trusted his judgment, allowing him to make his own decisions. Seitz recalled asking Wilder what he required for the pet chimpanzee's funeral scene. Wilder replied, you know, just your standard monkey funeral shot. For some interior shots, Seitz sprinkled dust in front of the camera before filming to suggest mustiness, a trick he had also used for Double Indemnity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Indemnity_(film) (1944). Wilder was adamant that the corpse of Joe Gillis be seen from the bottom of the pool, but creating the effect was difficult. The camera was placed inside a specially made box and lowered underwater, but the result disappointed Wilder, who insisted on further experiments. The shot was finally achieved by placing a mirror on the bottom of the pool and filming Holden's reflection from above with the distorted image of the policemen standing around the pool and forming a backdrop. - Original Message - From: Posteropolis mailto:posteropo...@bell.net To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2012 1:00 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool!

Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool!
I can't remember who, but I'm guessing, given his wild sense of humor, that it was Freeman Fisher who said (and he's RIGHT), that the biggest impediment to our hobby is WIVES (or our significant others). When I was collecting posters nearly full-time (before I got into Beatles material) - every attempt to get something into our house from Sunset Blvd. was thwarted by my WIFE. The same with material like The Beast With 1,000,000 Eyes and The Invasion of the Saucermen, etc. Despite my previous rule of collecting only posters to films I like, I broke it a few times for cheesecake posters with Raquel Welch and Jane Fonda. And over time, I did turn around on liking the art on some outrageously creative and funny sci-fi and horror pictures. (My favorite horror picture of all-time is still Frankenstein because I don't break out laughing at unintentional humor.) But everything from Sunset Blvd. CREEPS her out. She says she'll have permanent nightmares if she ever has to see the closing moments of that movie again. I once wanted to chase the best one-sheet on the title and she said NO WAY. It's because of Swanson. Her face scares her. Chasing the lobby portrait card and the insert were again met with a BU! Not gonna happen, Koose. Whenever I screen this masterpiece once every 3 years or so on DVD, I do so alone. She can't understand its ghostly and macabre feel, the whole narrating from the dead routine; she had the same problem with that device in Reversal of Fortune and American Beauty. She compares Sunset Blvd. to, get this, The Exorcist. She refuses to see either. And I scream at her, THEY'RE NOT THE SAME FILMS, DAMMIT! THEY'RE NOT EVEN IN THE SAME LEAGUE! -d. Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2012 21:07:05 + From: evan...@mac.com Subject: Re: Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool! To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Reminded of the deleted gas chamber in Double Indemnity. Again, it's a lobby that's the best paper on that title for me, the honey of anklet card. Think the only thing that could compete with the swimming pool card for Sunset Boulevard is if there'd been a monkey funeral card.

Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool!
Echo that. Very pleasantly surprised for receive the catalogues the other day. Particularly sweet that the Berwicks have got their own separate catalogue, (which reads more like a slim poster book than an auction catalogue). Invaluable record of a little piece of poster collecting history and one the enthusiast's book collection.
