Last night I gave the B/H 16mm slot loader a workout with two Scope features that I have not watched in a long while. It might seem strange that just after buying the Blu-ray of "Capricorn One" I should decide to watch the 16mm print which stange as it sounds looks better..."screen is 9ft wide"

Hal Holbrook and James Brolin

not exactly "Mars" [Roll Eyes]

The Boeing Stearman Bi-plane in the movie was flown by Frank Tallman with some of the best arial stunts ever to be caught on film, even with clever camera angles he really did fly that plane very close to the ground and this is where the Scope format is brilliant. Frank Tallman was killed in a plane crash shortly after this fim was made.
Derann did release some of the flying from this movie in "This Is Scope" Super8 200footer and its very good.
Capricorn One was released in 1978 and is a Peter Hyams film incidently Jerry Goldsmith did a brilliant soundtrack for this movie.
Well the second feature that night was.......

Star Wars 1977 Mark Hamill and Alec Guinness
when you watch this film and although the effects are good, its the actors like Harrison Ford, Alec Guinness, Peter Cushing etc that really made this film a success.

The print is a bit faded but still fun to watch its been about 12 years since we last ran it well I hope to have time to watch a 16mm Scope print of "Return Of The Jedi" next week.

Thanks Gian

I notice your Elton John "Lion King" promo, [Smile]

I to have a copy I bought new from Derann when they first released it. Over the years I haven't come across any used prints for sale, its a really nice Super8 short with a good mix of live and animation with good music and a complete number from Elton as well, I have never come across this excellent short released anywhere else.

More than welcome, Graham.
And of course, I agree that 'video clip' is a nice title in my/our collections.
Ciao.

Last night was The Great Texas Dynamite Chase. Had to get my Claudia Jennings in LPP fix [Razz]

For what it is worth my last screening of Death Race, may very well be my last. I have it on Fleabay and I have a strong feeling it may sell.

So! A few days ago, I recieved my very first (proper) feature; the 1939 classic "Gullivers Travels"! :-)

So, due to my projector being at home and not at my fiancee's place, where the screening room is, so I set me up a mini-home-theater in my bedroom [Wink]

Below are screens of the setup and film.

Now that final picture there I included because I found it to be quite interesting. Two completely different generations of media, side-by-side [Big Grin]

And last, but not least, I fashioned me a MacGyver-style box for the film I recieved!

The odd thing is that the print is beet red, faded to smithereens, on good ol' Eastman Kodak, BUT now and then it has several feet of pretty good colour, sometimes close to no fade at all, and there's no splices [Confused]

And that's on all four reels [Razz]

Last night watched a VHS of "The Incredible Shrinking Man." First time seeing the whole movie (I have the 400ft digest). It was pan & scan though.

I also rented a VHS of "Earth vs the Flying Saucers" which I'll watch tonight.

Anyone need to score points with the wife...get Dino's DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN. You would be amazed what prints can show up at the door with no complaints after you screen DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN. [Cool]

Last night I screened 'Nosferatu". I've never seen this movie, so watching it on super 8mm was an awesome treat. It also had a musical score, which sounded great and was appropriate for the film. I might watch it again tonight.

Amazing soundtrack (so far from usual Anime) by Seiji Yokoyama (Captain Harlock Soundtrack/FOR THE LOVE OF MANKIND - YouTube). You MUST listen to this.

After having my GS1200 back in working order, I celebrated by watching my "new" optical print of The Woman In Red, bought from Dan Lail via ebay.
I had not seen this film since I showed it at the cinema when it was new in the early eighties. It was a real nostalgia trip.

Last night I watched The Snowman, I followed that with the Disney cartoon short On Ice. Ok I know that Christmas is over but I just received these prints a few days ago.

On Ice does seem appropriate though with the Winter Olympics going on in Vancouver.

Living on the Gulf Coast I only see snow, in real life, maybe once every fifteen or twenty years.
