Gian and all of you that post pictures....

Fantastic and amazing how good the small gauge can look. This is also a nice way to see the quality of these titles. One of these days I will try to take some pictures and make a contribution.

I do agree, Bill. I think it is part of the fun. And I also think it can be helpful to other collectors to get a sense of different prints of the same title existing out there.

Winbert, no marks on it, but I'm quite sure it's on KODAK SP. Ciao.

Gian,
again wonderful screenshots !
Seems to be a very good print. Saw one of it on Ebay a few weeks ago, but don't know how the quality is.
Some of the optical prints are turning to brown/red.
It's a pity that it is only a flat-print...

Hi Michael.
Yes, flat print, but very good indeed. Holding color up very well. I know some prints of LETHAL WEAPON have already faded.

Thanks anyway. Still waiting for FOOTLOOSE, even totally faded ah ah ah.
CIAO!

It's very debatable Gian. Usually I would say that all prints of a specific title were done on a specific stock, but I have ran into prints of "The Earthling" (William Holden, 1980) on both early Kodak SP and another unidentified stock which has held up well, while the SP has faded to brown.

I would put good money on Lethal Weapon being on Kodak SP, and perhaps you got one that hasn't had the chance to fade yet. Good for you! As Tom Petty sang ...

"Store it in a cool, dry, place!"

Now, I'm off to watch "The Takedown"!

Just a short Super8 tonight, part 1 of 4 from Jason and the Argonauts. Red, but full of Harryhausen stopmotion goodness.

I saw "Million Dollar Duck" when I was a kid in the 70s, at a drive-in theater as part of a double feature with "Mary Poppins" as the second film shown. Early childhood memory...

Hmmm, "Million Dollar Duck" must be one of the few Disneys which I don't know [Eek!]

But it was filmed in the best year, ever [Big Grin]

In my opinion the best Disney with Dean Jones is "The love bug" [Big Grin]

Nevertheless very good pictures, Gian [Wink]

Last night I was going to watch a feature; "The Man from Hells Edge." I decided to watch a cartoon firt Disney's Lullaby Land. I enjoyed the cartoon so much I decided to watch another, then another. Just like eating potato chips, can't stop with just one. Never had time to watch the feature.

The others watched were Disney's Woodland Cafe, Dollywood Cavalcade, and the Czech Cartoon which I believe is called The Umbrella Man in English.

Maybe I'll watch the feature tonight.

Gian : great shots of Lethal Weapon, what a good looking print.

As I needed to check both a projector and a print, I improvised a screening yesterday night in my kitchen for my daughter and we watched "Mole and the Green Star". Superb super 8 print from the former Czechoslovakia. Margaux was amazed despite the less than perfect quality of the screen (kitchen white tiles). Mole (Krtek) is one of her favorite characters and she couldn't believe that he also had a home inside that small Bauer projector...

Boy Gian, you really tend to luck out on film stock, (either that, or we just see the good ones in screenshots, eh?). That print of "Million Dollar Duck" is certianly passable.

It gives us all hope as to what is available. The print quality appears to be quite good. Not super sharp, but not speckled all to heck.

Muchas Gracias Mi Amigo!

and a happy hello to the recovered Pepa!

John, so nice to see someone knows (and had the possibility to watch in on the big screen) that movie eh eh eh.

Thanks Michael

I personally think there are lots and lots of 8mm issues out there whom existence we don't know anything about.

And thanks also to you about LW, Jean-Marc. And for telling us your interesting story about that short. Ciao.

I'm from 1971 too, must be a good year.. [Smile]

Jean-Marc, Krtek is great, I have quite a few episodes on 16mm, but I'd love to get some on 8mm. At the cinema where I work we have been running Krtek (Mole) for the past two years and it's always a hit with the small kids.

Tonight the first half of One Million BC on super8, lots of stop-motion and girls in fur bikinis, and wonderful colors to boot.

Great shots, Peter.

Thanks Osi; you were probably writing your post while I was doing the same, so I did not include you in my previous thanks (from Pepa too).

I selected some good screen captures (at least as steady as possible) as usual, but the print quality is the one you can see. I'm very happy with it. Another movie I have found after so longtime. And now after Disney's THE THREE CABALLEROS (pratically already found. Let's see [Razz]

).

Ciao Osiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

16mm "Fort Dobbs" starring Clint Walker, Brian Keith and Virginia Mayo. Part of my 1950's B+W small budget westerns I have found myself acquiring the past few years. I guess it is a return to my childhood and the early experiences I had with cinema. I enjoyed it immensely.

Ran Battlestar Galactica last night (Wednesday). I had just finished splicing the two reels onto a single 600' and decided to screen it to make sure everything was fine.

It wasn't. I forgot to remove the film's title from the second reel. D'oh!

Spent 20 minutes this afternoon finding the splice and then fixing it. Will screen again soon and hopefully it will be fine this time.

Also this afternoon, I spliced a couple more films onto 600' reels. Carrie just fits. It goes right to the top but it does fit! Reels 5 & 6 of Call Of The Wild (1972) are now together. Finally, reels 2 & 3 of Clash Of The Titans.

Gonna have to screen those to check the splices! [Wink]

Thursday Night:

Dracula A.D. 1972 on the 80" screen via digital projection. Very nice DVD transfer, not processed, very filmlike. Fun movie, too.
