Projections. Is it still going?
I only ask because looking back at my FFTC mags, i remembered a kind chap putting a small piece in the collectors comments about what a certain weirdo called Rex Osborne,( AKA Mr you know who), said about my articles. I never did read it because i had stopped subscribing at that time, but i think i answered him very politely and professionally in the following month.
Does anyone know if it's still around and if so, what are the subs and how do you get it?
BTW. There was a reason why he turned into a sado against me, when it first launched i was asked if i would contribute, i started to but found time was not on my side and i was very loyal to Deranns magazine which i kept going, once i stopped doing projections after a few weeks, he obviously saw my articles continuing in Deranns magazine & i assume he took offense to it and, from what i read about, criticised my items, not that i gave a monkeys, i thought it was quite funny,especially as we all knew who this alias asshole was, clearly wanting to hide behind a false identity. He use to wind Mr Wilton up quite a bit to

Yes he is Barry Littlechild.
I had a similar experience with this rude guy,whom even Keith Wilton barred from the BFCC! I had sent him an article which seems like he took a quick look at,and them rewrote it from memory,full of mistakes,turning it into what Leonard Maltin called "...the Myrna Loy westerns directed by Alfred Hitchcock...". I wrote him about it and received a letter full of insults and ironies concluding that he didn't want me as a subscriber anymore and after all "... my handwriting was incomprehensible..". Well,the article was typewritten !!!
Thankfully,after,I believe, two years,he left the magazine and Peter Travers took over.

I once wrote a letter to Projections stating how great the super 8mm print of That's Entertainment 3 was, and how much better I thought it was in comparison to the DVD. Better contrast and better color for sure. In the next issue Barry replied that he had a 16mm copy of TE3 in his possession and there was no doubt that the DVD was superior to even that! So, I think at that time Barry was totally sold on digital and was done with film.
Today we all know that digital is often noticeably inferior to film, even in the professional theater. Case in point, yesterday we went to see the Rober Wise classic ghost film The Haunting, at the Enzian. Great movie, but the black and white picture was noticeably lacking in contrast and was very flat. I am sure a good 35mm print would have knocked the socks of it.
