For us, this very night ...
A reel of Betty Boop cartoons ...
Betty in Blunderland (1934)
(Betty cartoons with Baby with everything going backwards, can't remember the title)
and ...
Boop Oop a Doop, (an early lewd lascivious classic, in which the circus ringleader comes in, stroking her leg, and whispering in her ear, "How about a ...?" to which Betty answers, "You mean? and then slaps him, and then sings, "Don't take my Boop Oop a Doop Away". Guess what her "Boop Oop a Doop was?!) (1932)
"Rocketship"
(which was one of many titles for the first feature film, which was culled from the first Flash Gordon serial. Good Ole Ming!)
It appears that I am in a Black and White frame of mine, so I'll select another Black and white goodie for tommorow, along with some original black and white Looney Tunes, which were released on Super 8, but have rarely been seen in they're original B/W elsewhere, (as most were colorized and have rarely been seen in B/W).
Love to screen that letterbox print of Rescuers ... alas, if only we were close in proximity! ![[Smile]](smile.gif) ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

Taking a night off, but after that, it's a Three Stooges Celebration ...
... and all of them having Curly.
Which reminds me, I was watching the Shemp short "Creeps" (sporting the ugliest babies on record ... baby Shemp, baby Moe and Baby Larry!) ...
About half-way through the short, shemp is talking to a haunted suit of armor and I did a double take! The voice coming from the armor is none other than Curly!
Though Curly only officially appeared in one short with Shemp, ("What's my Lion", I believe, in which the three stooges run by a sleeping passenger, who has a very familiar "snore". Sure enough, it's Curly. The Three Stooges do a double take and then move on), he continued to do voice work in the shorts, until his death in either 1952 or 54, I forget the actual date.
Actually, scenes with Curly were shot for a number of the Shemp shorts, but due to time restraints, they chose to scrap the footage and, in most cases, only still photographs remain of those segments.

Your right, Louise it is!
I was very impressed with the effects, and while the special effects were impressive, I enjoyed the story itself. I don't know how it is in the home, but I remember in the theaters, that the reality portion of the film had a very flat sound mix, in order to enhance the "Ultra Surround" feel of what you experience when wearing the "head gear"
Would you think of selling your print?
