Jonathan - Brilliant color, love that one.. "Into the mud Scum Queen!"

Laksmi - excellent Harryhausen! !

Tonight I started with a toy film extract from what looks like an Our Gang short, followed by one of the final films by the first, and one of the greatest silent comedians Max Linder. The film was The Three-Must-Get-Theres (1922, Standard 8mm, 2 x 400ft) and is an excellent satire on the Fairbanks' Musketeers film from the previous year. Not the sharpest print but rare enough to make it worth it.

Looks pretty decent to me, Dino!
I watched "A minute to pray, a second to die" on 16mm. I'm not normally keen on spaghetti westerns but this one held my attention quite well. I couldn't work out the film stock although the colour was superb.

Jonathan, your print looks like it may be LPP.

I had a chance to take a look at my own toy film collection from last years findings. These are all silent novelty films, 100' ft or shorter. Regardless of condition, I also really love these prints. Including a rare Little Black Sambo Castle short with Cinecolor so saturated, that some of the image burned onto other frames. As Dino mentioned some are better than others, my favorite part is always the title card.

Thanks Gerald. I think you may be right about LPP.

Austin!

That's just about my favorite Donald Duck cartoon! It has a very manic, almost Tex Avery quality to that cartoon with that crazy bird Donald tries to photograph, right down to the unique "iris out" gag at the end. Lovely color to that cartoon! Much better than most Donalds!

The, for the moment, last 16MM film I purchased: Foul Play.
A AGFA print in pristine condition, not a single splice and almost no stripes.
I have always wondered why Marketing never released this back in the day. I would most certainly have bought it as a feature.
A fun thing about this copy is that the seller was situated in San Fransisco, the same place as the film unfolds in.

I bought a fine Super 8mm Sound Blackhawk print of The River (1938) directed by Pere Lorentz from Gerald Santana, a forum member. The clearing of timber to build cities had an effect of erosion and flooding in the areas of the Tennessee Valley and the Mississippi and it's tributaries. The subject of environmental devastation is detailed with the eye of a great photographer. Shots of the rivers and dams are powerfully realized. The building of dams to alleviate the recurrent flooding is outlined in a powerful and beautiful, black and white moving picture. This picture was funded by the government to inform the populace of the TVA and other federally funded projects. Stunning photography, with a narration that reads like a poem. Best of all is the score by Virgil Thomson. Sound on this print is crystal clear. Excellent for kids and kids of all ages who want to learn some American history and how we solved some very big problems back in the days of the New Deal. Also good for kids who like boats, untamed waters, and men working.

Great color Laksmi/ Gerald-love that you have that title montage, really fun to look at. Lars- I didn't think Super 8 could look that good.

Four screenings this weekend [Smile] ...

1) In honor of St. Patrick's day, a half hour excellent documentary on Celtic music "Celtic legends" on 16mm.

2) The 1986 Oscar winning short "Molly's pilgrim", a touching 24 minute master piece on 16mm.

3) A stunning color LPP ( on AGFA print, I believe) documentary on dairy production in the Canadian province of Manitoba, a 20 minute short on 16mm.

4) Summer legend, an excellent 8 min animation short on 16mm from the excellent National Film Board of Canada.

Thank y'all and hope you are all having a great week [Smile] !!!

Best,

Hey Gerald,

Glad you liked the print Richard and it was great meeting you in person.

Hey Osi, I got Little Black Sambo from my friend's collection last year. The color on the film is wild, it's very rich.

Here are a few more pictures of those shorts...

Hey nice Sambo pic Gerald and Osi what a classic embarrassment of a film now. Y'all known's what I sa mean . Hey nice clip of Chaplin in there. I got an Idea to screen this last night from Winbert. I watched my 3 X 400 super 8mm Marketing film . TEN COMMANDMENTS with my man Chuck ! The color is still good after 30 or more years. -

Laksmi I watched your movie, very good.

Tonight I finally got to watch a 9.5mm film I picked up last year that was so damaged it took me almost this long to repair all of the torn perfs, but it has eluded me this long to find this title so it was worth repairing them. The film is called WEEK-END WIVES (1929, Pathescope 2 x 300ft notched, S30024) and stars Monty Banks and the beautiful Estelle Brody in a mistaken identity comedy romp that actually works well as a 2 reeler even though it is an edited feature.

I watched the wonderful trailer reel of RAMAYAN THE SUPREME ADVENTURE 16mm color sound . I would like some time to make a Super 8 digest of my movie on a 400 reel or 600.
- I also watched the new Captain America film super 8mm 2 X 600 reel color scope sound. Wow what a double feature two superheros Cap and Rama! -

In between all these moments of drooling, Dino: how do you repair torn-up 9.5? How did you revive that print?

16mm scope print of Escape From the Planet of the Apes, one of my last purchases from Derann's used list. A very clever way to continue the series after the world blew up in Beneath.

Doug and Oemer, WOW!! beautiful prints....

Bill would you believe in this case I had to lay strips of tape (sometimes 1 foot long)across everything and then punch the sprocket holes out because it was a cleaner repair than repairing 20 torn sprockets in a row back to back to back. Plus that allowed me to be able to fold all of the bent sprockets that were torn but still attached back down.

Thank you very much for your praise of the hitchcock print.
Unfortunately is allways a part of the image (right and left) missing of Vista Vision movies on 16mm.
Doug@ great print, it is my favorite sequel of the planet of apes movies. I had many years ago also a print, but I sold it, because my print was only a pan and scan print. Your print looks great.

Today I run few Super 8 trailers.
First my favorite S8 trailer reel (the quality is realy great): Licens to kill, Batman, Licens to kill (second trailer).
After that my last Derann Trailer purchase: Harry Potter chamber of secrets, Fantastic Four, Robots, Fantastic Four the rise of the silver surfer and finaly Spiderman.
It was not possible to catch a good screenshot from the Superhero trailers but here are two from the Robots.
