This evening, Saturday 23rd, was my first serious film night since last week's wonderful Blackpool convention.
Those who attended the Saturday dinner will appreciate the fact that the first film I screened this evening was the 5x 600' Sylvester Stallone classic "Rocky."
That was followed by a viewing of another film from Blackpool, the 7x 400' Easter Parade.
As you can see, quite a session!
Tonight's viewing of Rocky clearly demonstrated to me why I am into this hobby so much. I had only seen this film once before, on dvd on a moderately sized TV screen. My opinion was that it was just an "okay" film. After watching it tonight on a 5 1/2 foot wide screen and being able to study the character build up a little better, together with being immersed in the action a lot more, it had a far bigger impact and I can now understand how it got its Oscar.

It is a very uplifting feeling when, after a morning of doing chores together, getting the shopping in etc. I settle down at lunch time with my wife for a snack, and she suddenly blurts out "Do you fancy a film show this afternoon?" (Do I want a film show? A question in this household where the word "no" is not an option)
So, this afternoon, totally unexpected, totally unplanned, we sat back to watch a super 8 feast which consisted of the following...
6x 400' The Lady With The Lamp - Anna Neagle as Florence Nightingale. Nice sharp print and good sound.
1x 400' Divot Diggers starring The Little Rascals. This was the copy shown at Blackpool on the Saturday that was subsequently picked up by me on the Bring and Buy... and had only a few days before been brought from the States by a certain American gentleman! Nice Blackhawk print.
