Tonight I took a 400 footer I put together starting with, Saving Private Ryan trailer, (if only that 600ft opening could have got released on 8mm)Reflections USA, Titanic trailer Reflections 100 years of British cinema. This is a great full 400footer, then onto the Iver release of Helter Skelter, originally on 2 x 400ft and now on one full 600ft spools. This, as we all know, is the story of the Manson murders, which that weirdo Charles Manson & his followers carried out on actress Sharon Tate and others. The state of California abolished the death sentence when he & his associates went into prison, what a shame, they should have all been executed. This film was originally shown on TV as a two part feature running for 194 minutes so considering this Iver did a superb job cutting this into half an hour. Quality is very good with excellent colour's & sound to match. there's a fair bit of negative dirt/marks mainly on part one but this doesn't cause any problems. Manson is brilliantly played by Steve Railsback & also Marilyn Burns of Texan chainsaw massacre fame plays Linda Kasabian who appears to have been part of the gang but was genuinely trying to make them stop. Not a classic movie but a very good TV movie and a very well edited super 8 release.

Finally some screenshots from me, I always forget to take some! Apologies for the low quality, it was taken in a dark room with my phone as my DSLR was recharging.
With the new living room done I fixed up a new alternative for running films, with a home-made screen that I attach to the wall when needed. Here it is:
It is a 1 x 1,33 metre piece of thin fibrecloth painted white, with a black, faux leather trim stapled around it, producing a nice 4:3 screen with some matting at the edges.
Anyway; to the screening!
We saw my two new prints, both courtesy of mr Dino Everett. First up was the 2x400 Super 8 Blackhawk silent cutdown of "Nosferatu", which I respooled to a nearly full 600' with new, white leader.
Here's a shot of the ST-1200 projecting it:
And here's two shots from the film:
Afterwards it was time for the 4x400 Reg.8 silent print of "Mark of Zorro", where my trusty Bolex 18-5 worked its magic.
Here's a shot of the projector before we started:
And here's a shot from the film:
-------------------- Well who’s on first? Yeah. Go ahead and tell me. Who. The guy on first. Who. The guy playin’ first base. Who. The guy on first. Who is on first! What are you askin’ me for? I’m askin’ you!
