Now We'll Tell No One (Charley Chase) and 400' Close Encounters of the Third Kind digest on Super 8, and first half of Sons of the Desert on 16mm, for an audience of me. Got all (well, most of) my projectors fixed!

……..and I enjoyed "Way Out West" on Saturday evening!....the Mountain 4x400'version.

Notwithstanding the time differences across the world, it seems there were quite a few people on this planet watching 8mm/16mm this Saturday night if you think about it. Very encouraging !

I had a nice super 8 evening screening

Laurel & Hardy The Fixer Uppers
Space Cruiser Yamato Vs the Gorgons 400’
Tickle Me 4 x 400’

I knew the Cinesea gathering was happening and was going to watch my print of Roustabout but decided to screen Tickle Me instead. It was fun and a good copy as well. It (Tickle Me) was a little bit of everything....western, comedy, musical and a little horror thrown in as well! Those of us that don’t make it to Cinesea are there in spirit. [Smile]

I thought I would use tonight to check out some of my more recent purchases, so my night consisted of the following.....

Good Scouts - 1x 200' Disney (Donald Duck)
Jolly 'oliday - 1x 200' Disney (Mary Poppins)

Raid on Entebbe - 1x 400' Iver Films. Very soft focus but good colour on this one but no mention in the edit of Dora Bloch being taken to hospital and just disappearing.

The Golden Age of Comedy 4x 400' (Walton) - Marvelous compilation from the age of the Golden Silents….with music and narration of course!

I find watching one or two 8mm shorts before going to bed relaxes me and I can easily fall asleep. Last night I watched a couple of silents...Buster Keaton in "Cops" and L & H in "Double Whoopee."

LOL...That's correct Paul...no FDA approval yet, but I've volunteered for the efficacy clinical trials. Other than some broken film once in awhile...no adverse reactions [Smile]

and watching films seems to help my cat Buster to fall asleep too. [Big Grin]

Hedda

Full length optical sound super 8

Picture fade to brown however being a period film it actually set the mood for a fun evening. Really good optical sound from the pair of GS1200 machines, too.

Finally the last part of Carry on Up The Khyber 4x600ft, which I have been watching a spool a night (SP but good colour) and Movietone news 1950 (also SP and a bit sepia, but B&W on colour so who knows) both bought Sunday at the Big Screen Scene Revivial

Last night I watched my COMPLETE copy of FANTASIA.I found a very reddish but complete italian print, with good sound, from which I added the missing parts to my copy,namely two episode introductions,two or three episode ending shots of Leopold Stokowski,Mickey thanking Stokowski plus,the first part of "The Rite of Spring". I don't mind so much the variable quality,("Sorcerer's Apprentice" is also turning) as the fact that I now have the complete film. And I am glad ! [Smile]

I love the Ben Hur screenshots as well. Is that the Kempski print? It looks like it. I have what I'm pretty sure is the Derann re-issue of this feature and while it is fun to watch in scope, the colors are not as natural as they are in you're print! They are more on the bluish spectrum, quite frankly.

Lovely print you have.

Chip ...

Hedda was interesting to me for one very big reason. When I first watched it, I didn't even know that was him (as we are used to seeing the bald Captain Jean Luc Picard), but that is Patrick Stewart in that beard! In case you didn't notice it, watch the credits! Ype! It's Patrick, way back in 1975, when he was a member of England's "Royal Shakespeare Company"

Last night I hosted my "film club" and we enjoyed an evening of classic movies. We began with "The Seven Year Itch" Marilyn Monroe classic with the subway breeze/blowing dress scene (Ken Films 400'), followed by "Airplane" (Marketing 3X400'), "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (Ken/MGM 2X400'), "Blue Hawaii" Elvis classic featuring one of his signature songs, "Can't Help Falling in Love" (Ken 400'), "The African Queen" (Ken 400'), "Love Is A Many-Splendored Thing" (Ken 400'), and finished with "Abbott & Costello in the Foreign Legion" (combination of Castle Films' 200' and Universal 8 400' including the classic mirage scene).
