Just got back from visiting Steve Osbourne in Kettering , Ohio .
You know , editor and publisher of THE REEL IMAGE .
He's got a BEAUTIFUL home theater set - up , complete with original theater seating and concession areas ! Very nicely decorated and HUGE screen with STEREO sound !
He screened MEN IN WHITE ( 3 ads for films , cars and movie production ) , JASPER AND THE WATERMELON MAN ( A George Pal Puppettoon that , by today's political standards , would be banned , in beautiful color ) ,TRAILERS of Georgio Moroder's METROPOLIS , The ORIGINAL trailer to STAR WARS and DIE HARD 4 .
DIAMONDS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND followed with Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe singing and dancing for a couple of GREAT songs in STEREO and BEAUTIFUL COLOR !
Then it was BOND in DIE ANOTHER DAY , the EXCELLENT COLOR & STEREO opening of the film , currently available for around 120.00 USD from Classic Home Cinema . I was VERY impressed !
And finally it was MY own home - edited version of JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS - THE SPECIAL EDITION ( I utilized the Derann 17 min. " Battle of Talos " , with complete opening film credits , editing in sequence the Columbia 4 - parters to make a 45 min. version ).
Next month Steve plans to do an out-door film show so bring your lawn chairs for a night of fun under the stars ! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

I just watched a beautiful optical sound print of the mid 80's version, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS thanks to Brian Hendel. No lines, clean and sharp and great sound; only about 20% color loss since it's supposed to be a dingy, urban setting. I'm not a fan of musicals, but I was in great company; didn't want to be a sour puss and enjoyed what to me the highlight of the film, Rick Moranis's, fickle, human blood eating plant! "I gave you sunlight..I gave you dirt, you gave me heartache..you gave me hurt.." Now I may just take up horticulture.

Scope Shorts evening tonight,
Started with the 100ft promo of a Shot in the dark, then a 200 ft promo reel, starts with an ABC day set followed by The Battle of Britain promo and a long trailer to the brilliant Zulu
Both have really good colour, sound and very sharp image, (my pictures never do justice to super 8)
And I ended with part 5 to the scope feature Master and Commander.
This was a feature I was due to buy but personal circumstances at the time meant I had no choice but to pull out, this 5th reel which is the probably the best part with the big battle between the British ship lead by Captain Jack Aubrey,(Russell Crowe),and the bigger faster French ship. This part came up on a Derann list along with pt 2 which I also bought and sold on. Reel 5 stands on its own perfectly as an all action reel with an opening which gives you the understanding of what is about to happen and ends perfectly after the battles dead are buried at sea after prayers. The only thing missing is titles, it would have made a brilliant extract release. I consider myself lucky to have won this off one of Deranns lists, I expected it to have gone by the time I rang & the print is perfect & with stereo sound. Again the images here do not do it justice.
