That's a nice looking trailer for the Beatles film. Most of the trailers I have ran into for Beatles films have tended to on old pinky Eastman and so they have naturally faded ...

Except for one reel that has exceptional color, but it's all slightly fuzzy to look at.

An extremely well worn and faded print of one of my absolute favorite guilty pleasures THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER (1982, Super 8 6 x 600ft, re-recorded into English). I have always felt this was equal parts Horror / Douglas Fairbanks adventure with Lee Horsley doing the best Fairbanks homage I've ever seen.

Hi All,
Well New Years eve was spent watching what Santa brought me via Ian at perry's - a Walton trailer reel - witch finder General, curse of the Crimson alter and hannie Calder. Then Eric Sykes and Harry Secombe in Rhubarb, followed by George Formby in No Limit and finished with Thats Entertainment then the Roger Moore thriller Gold on Blu ray followed by Carry on Constable on DVD. On New Years day - I screened the feature prints of Mary Poppins and Horror Express. Not sure what I'll screen today - but I'll let you know.

David, I kid you not but I watched 'Rhubarb' last night too! I followed this with Ronnie Barker's 'Futtocks End'.

Hi Jonathan,

I've now got Rhubarb, Futtocks End and The Plank - all the classic silent - well almost silent - colour visual comedies from Eric Sykes and Ronnie Barker.

Thanks Dino! Another print that I didn't know was released on super 8? Do you happen to know who did it?

That British comedy reminded me of my 600ft "The Picnic", so I screened it last night. Wonderful old school, slightly naughty British humor!

Mel Brooks in a couple of roles too :-)

John Candy is missed, at least by me ... He's a Mog, half man, half dog and his own best friend :-)
-

Rick Moranis as Dark Helmet

John Hurt, a big favorite of mine ... Oh, no ... Not again

Dave,'The Plank' is a classic. Like 'Rhubarb',it was remade for Tv. I prefer the originals, though.
Osi, I didn't know 'The Picnic' had a super 8 release.
Vidar, I remember seeing 'Spaceballs' on its first day of general release at The Odeon York in the UK. I saw it with some mates and was crying with laughter. Saying that, it was the last day of the Uni term and we had had a few beers too many!

I watched two features : one I already watched recently but wanted to see again : Ciné folies, a compilation of songs and extracts from (early talkies) French films and the film La grande illusion from Jean Renoir with Jean Gabin. The film has an optical sound track and is in good condition. Once again, I Wonder if airplanes companies (or should I say Air France) showed films like that on board or if optical films were released for other purposes.

Vidar, your print of Spaceballs looks really faded. I thought that by the time this film was made, 1987, all optical films where on LPP? Have you been really unlucky with this one?
I have a copy of this title myself and the stock definitely are LPP. Unfortunately I have no photos, but I scanned a couple of frames to show the difference.

Got quite a few of the Elvis features and really enjoy them despite the fact the scripts are often very flimsy at best! Ha ha

Never had the Derann 3x400 low fade cut down of Viva Las Vegas yet but would love to find a decent copy one day. All the ones I have seen are quite dark in contrast. Is yours the same Mark?

Hi Andrew,
Yes the films aren't Oscar winners but great fun, some better than others of course but I do enjoy them.

I used to have the Derann Viva Las Vegas release and the colour on it was lovely but I have heard a few dark ones were sold, my copy is a UFA German release and very nice, I just had to rerecord it into English but does sound great, Mark

Well done Mark! That must have been fairly tricky being that it is an abridged feature. I really like the quality of the UFA releases I see and given your re record, That must be quite a spectacle I bet!

Hi Andrew, it's one of the better abridged features to do because it has quite long segments so not too much start stopping, In stereo and on the big screen and one of the better films it's well worth getting.

It sounds it Mark. I am always on the look out for one but now you tell me it isn't too bad to re~record, I will broaden my horizons to the German prints also. [Smile]

Just screened "Gremlins" this was a Durann print. It switched between open matte and matted 185:1
Very nice color and contrast, ran very smooth on my Elmo ST1200 fitted with a 300 watt ELH lamp.
Sound was clean and clear as well. A very enjoyable print.

It's a fantastic print is the old Derann (not Durann... that was once a name of an old New Romantic Pop Band though spelt differently) print of Gremlins.

I have one myself and treasure it. Derann at the very beginnings of their renaissance Hey Day!

BTW: If anyone ever gets confused about how to spell Derann better than a 4 year old would, here is my advice:

The word was made up of the proprietor's of the Business that the newly married couple of Derek and Ann formed.

As their title suggests, Derek and Ann very conveniently make Derann, first three letters of Derek, last and only three letters of Ann (the traditional English way of spelling this name as opposed to my wife Anne).

So with this in mind, hopefully all gawd awful recreations of this that we most frequently see, will be corrected in future.

R U watching you vast majority that are ignorant E Bay sellers???

This makes it easy to remember, nice story.

So Sunday night I was in the second night of a three day weekend. I decided to mount up the anamorphic and run a couple of Derann 'scope musical extracts and crank the sound.

Do-Re-Mi (Sound of Music)
America (West Side Story)
Summer Nights (Grease)

The sound on these is spectacular. I was in full bass thumping, china cabinet rattling glory!

The next day my wife (upstairs watching NCIS...) voiced some mild objections. I asked "Why, could you hear it?" She said "Hear it?! I could feel it!

It seems I'm going to get a set of headphones out of this!

They say no good deed goes unpunished, but I guess that also means no bad deed goes unrewarded!

Maybe I'll get a much bigger amp and wind up with my own backyard theater! (...or living with my Mom!)
