Today I was looking at the Tarzan: A life for a life with Ron Ely. 3x 400"
I really do like Tarzan films.
Watched it with my T610 from Bauen, since I had not spliced the mobvie together on a 1200" reel yet.
It was actually no problem at all rewinding in between.
Nice film with a lot of Tarzan swinging on the trees and fighting with animals.
A very old fashioned cozy film and I had a plessend time watching it.
Not the sharpest film, but still very good.
I bought it from Super8Warehouse.
Before this I watched:
Mysterious Island 1x 400", which was a lot happening on a small reel, hahaha.
A little bit old, with woman that needed help from man all the time because they fainted 'all the time'.
At the end I like it still hahaha.
This week I'm going to watch the: Gullivers Travels Cartoon 4x 400", after I spiced them together on 2x 240" in one box, that I just ordered.
Ohh yes,...
I also ordered Mickey and the Clock Cleaners with good color, and I can hardly waitr till it's arrived.
I'll let you all know how it went.
Will probably be my most precious film, till the next one adventure comes along.

I have bought one or two items recently, so tonight was a "catch up" night to find out what they are like.
Firstly, The Shillingbury Melon. a 2x 600' film which was part of a 7 episode series called The Shillingbury Tales which ran for just one season in the UK on TV in about 1980. A comedy filmed, unusually even for 1980, on 16mm as opposed to video. My copy is super 8. A light hearted tale of English village life for its newly retired resident who has just taken up gardening... and growing a melon. It stars UK favourites Robin Nedwell, Lionel Jeffries (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) and Diane Keen.
The second was a 4x 400' called, depending on which side of the pond you are on, "Murder Inc." or "The Enforcer." Sadly NOT Clint Eastwood before you start having kittens, but a 1951 (very good) gangster film starring Humphrey Bogart.
A pleasant evening!

It seems to be a regular thing for 16mm silent films too, even 16fps.
Last time I had a sound film (cartoon) that was probably selfrecorded on 18fps, with only music.
I trew it away with a bunch of misbuying films from a few years back, like silent cartoons, films with bad sound or bad perforation, just to make space, or so that I not play those again, because I forgot the bad quallity of those.
I cannot sell those again to another unfortunate guy and keep a clean conscience, like those who done that to me.

Last night: SEEING THE WORLD, an el-cheapo 1927 Little Rascals as the kids accompany teacher Jimmie Finlayson on a trip to Europe.Filmed entirely in the studio,in front of process screens, with very few location shots,done with stand ins. I wouldn't mind all that but the film just isn't funny. The kids are adlibbing around as the teacher tries to keep them in some kind of order. Stan Laurel appears in one scene.Very few laughs.Average standard 8 print, from unknown source. RANGE RIDER, a b&w terrytoon which I believe,is THE STRANGER RIDES AGAIN from 1938. A Lone Ranger parody,an exellent copy (from Collectors Club?) in super 8. Plus,some excerpts from LA VITA DI JESU.50 footers depicting events from the life of Jesus. Obviously a sound European production,but I can't tell which exactly!!!Standard 8 silent,of very good quality,found by a friend in the flea market.
