Dear Jeroen,
it could be strange to believe, but I'm not a horror fan at all. I only have a few prints of horrors that are considered 'masterpieces' (at least here in Italy: Argento's ones, for example). Some of them are very rare on 8 mm.

You know so well my first and unique real love are cartoons. Disney's above all, of course. Well, yes, I have some lovers too, I must admit!

But I cannot promise. There could be new horror 'screamings' in future eh eh eh.

So, you have a letterbox "Rescuers"?

Oh yeah? Well, I have a six cup perculator!

Oh, and I watched ...

"The Prince and the Pauper" (Derann Stereo)

Fantasia 2000 (Derann Stereo)

(with "The Sorcerers Apprentice" original Disney print)

Ha, take that Gian!

Osiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
Good to know. I will soon buy FANTASIA 2000. I still miss it. In the meanwhile I can screen the 1940 edition. Oh... I did not notice if you have mentioned it or not ah ah ah! [Wink]

Nice to know you own those masterpieces in your great collection, Osi. I'd sell my right arm to have Disney's THE BLACK CAULDRON in super 8. Never issued, unfortunately. I would be happy simply with the trailer, even!

Oh... Bernard and Bianca are wishing good night [Big Grin]

Who will rescue me???

Nope, don't have that one. Would love to have the full "Rescuers Down Under" (I picked up reel one a few weeks ago, hey it was ten dollars, how could I pass it up?!)

It makes it hard to put money aside for good ole Tom, (Tom will know what I'm talking about.)

Tommorow, it will be a Laurel and Hardy double feature of features!

Osi,

Sounds good.

I was not aware that Double Whoopee was
released by Blackhawk with a track?

Do you know which year and is it
complete with original titles - in the
same fashion as the other silent titles?

Micheal ...

My guess is, that "Double Whoopee" was released with a magnetic track, but no sound. I have a Little Rascals Blackhawk that is the same way, mag track, no sound.

I remember that there was a series called "The Lost Films of Laurel and Hardy" They released both a sound and silent with musical soundtrack of "Double whoopee".

Now, on my Super 8 copy, On track one it has the musical silent version that we know and love.

The Balance stripe has the dialogue version that whoever this person was, recorded each snippet of it synchronised with the film, and not the subtitles. From what I've learned, a big fan of Laurel and Hardy, who could actually do the voices of both characters, (as well as the cop), did a sound version of it.

So, it's not perfect, but it is intriguing. I only listen to the silent version with the music. I listened to the dialogue version once, but the only way that would really work, would be to get rid of all the subtitles, and that would be awkward, as well as unnecessary.

Last night we watched Derann's abridged version of "The Sound Of Music". Cut to half of its original 174 minute running time, this is one absolutely brilliant edit job.

I think there's room for just one more film.....

Osi,
you really found THE RESCUERS DOWN UNDER, reel # 1 for ten dollars? Jez, I cannot tell you how much I have spent for the whole movie! [Eek!]

I'm actually ready for my daily super 8 screening... What will I choose?

22nd june 2009, Monday

One of my favorite ever.
Just finished to screen ET - The Extra-Terrestrial in super 8. A genuine timeless movie. Very good American print, probably down from a 16 mm source. And still making me cry like a baby, at the end [Big Grin]

Osi,

The dubbed dialog sound version - was done by
Chuck Mc Cann.

Chuck was one of the founders of the Sons of the Desert
appreciation society that began in 1965.

The founders rooted the founding tent in NYC, and have
a colorful history.

With the sanction by Stan Laurel,
L&H biographer John McCabe started the group.
Co- founders were John Municino, Orson Bean, Al Kilgore,
Alan G. Barbour. All have been great people to be around.

Alan- Film Historian,
Orson - actor,
Al - cartoonist,
especially Rocky and Bullwinkle. In the cartoon he is
Boris Badenov and his wife is Natasha Fatale.
On The NY Sons site, you will notice caricatures
of Stan and Ollie and Chuck - sketched by Al.

Check out Chuck and the Founding Tents web page.
Chuck and Founding Sons of the Desert

Check out Chuck's web site with plenty of puppets, and Chuck's schtick as Ollie.

Steve,

I was a member of the LI Second Hundred Years Tent
for I guess...
eight or nine years.. maybe it was more.

Sometimes, I brought down the GS 1200,
or mostly the 16mm prints to run.
It's a wonderful auditorium to see The Boys on
the huge screen. The group gets a nice crowd of
about 50 people.
Jazzbo and his Grandson are fun when they
impersonate the boys.

I was sanctioned by Gregg to head the group,
(in keeping with film and not video)
before he moved to Texas. However Monday night is
not great for me. The teaching work load has become
enormous. The group would break-up by 9:30,
I was home by 10p.m. and my batteries were drained
for the remainder of the week.
It was fun, and I miss it.
I was also a regular attendee member of the NY Founding Tent
for 14 years. Great group of people - still in touch with many of them.

-Met nice celebrities that love The Boys,
and many Our Gang Little Rascal kids.
Jerry Tucker - Schatz lives in Copaigue.
We've gone fishing - a great guy.

I attended a meeting last Fall (Septemberish???). We watched "Way out West" projected off VHS(!).

If you happened to be there you may remember an adorable little boy that won a cowboy hat, well that was my son.

Ohhhh,

Sorry that I missed the event.
It would have been great to be present.

I'm sure he shined with that western hat.
Good for him.

Hope to meet up with you in the future.

I always did enjoy Orson Bean.

This is strange, why am I watching so many films, when I have to stay up so late at night? Oh well.

You can never have enough of Laurel and hardy! In fact, the sun is now setting, and we are minutes away from day two of Laurel and hardy.

The wife is popping the corn.
The boy is blissfully dreaming of empty reels to "teeth" upon.

... and I shall snuggle with the wife
as we gaze upon images of long ago ...
which still has the ability
even with the passing of time ...
to make us laugh out loud!

"Unacustomed ...
as we are.

finding ourselves
in another fine mess
that we've gotten ourselves into

trying ...
each others patience ...

On the trail of the Lonesome Pine!
