6th July 2009, Monday -

Osi, of course Kodak SP is better than a Eastman. No dubt at all! About REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE well, I really would like to find a better print.

And tonight, after a very long waiting...

Pixar FOR THE BIRDS. So funny!

Followed by Weir's MASTER AND COMMANDER.

Terrific prints!

Projector used: Elmo GS 1200 # 2; Sankor 16C scope lens on Elmo 1,0.

AAAAH! Akira! A fascinating film-maker.

I have "RAN" (Akira's take on "King Lear")
and "Kagemusha" (The Double)

Good choice, Chip!

I figured after my marathon on Sunday there was only one place left to go --- 16mm (aaaah If only I had the set up Jean-Marc has there'd be plenty more places to go)
but I broke out the highly elaborate (NOT! [Eek!]

[Eek!]

) 16mm screening set up at my condo..

In the top half of the first picture you see the Screen set up (It is 6 feet wide) and the speaker is peaking out next to the arm of the couch. The bottom half shows the projection booth (which is the kitchen). I put the projector on counter and the reels fit up under the exhaust hood - which has a little light, handy for changeovers) On the dining room table you can see remnants of my obsession in the rewind arm, piled reels- I use an elmo 16-CL and a 38mm lens to fill the screen. Tonight I was watching an IB tech print of Pearl of South Pacific (1955) prior to listing it for sale on ebay.... The light coming through the window is because I got home early tonight and it was still light out when I watched it.

Last night 16mm test screening:
- Tom & Jerry: Holliwood Bowl, wonderful LPP print (thanks Stuart)
- Tom & Jerry: Johann Mouse, excellent technicolor print but with lot of splices in the first minute or so, some seconds missing here and there and end title missing.

Thats very interesting Dino.

I sold a NIles Super 8 print of that film and while it didn't have absolutely perfect color, (the daytime scenes were kind of washed out and faded looking, but the nighttime scenes seemed to have all they're color, don't figure), but boy, I.B. Tech certainly does make a marked difference!

OK I'm not sure if this sounds like I have a problem but I spent fri/sat/sun in SF at the SF Silent Film Festivalwatching films from 10am until 11pm and to rest up I took the day off of work (since our flight home got delayed). I woke up and watched The Shadow Strikes (1937) Niles Super 8 print
then I watched a 16mm print in the living room of Rocketship X-M (1950)
then it was time for some shorts

Stepping on the Gas (1926?) A fairly rare comedy/action 2 reeler on reg 8

Tale of two Cities (1911)Vitagraph short verson of the Dickens classic (This is the 2 reel blackhawk release on Reg 8)

and finally one that I am not sure I have the correct title for, but it is a rare 9.5 short from the Romance of History no. 9 The Story of Nell Gwynne

Dino
The silent std shorts you showed are the ones you got from Tom Stathes, I know because I got many of the others! But you beat me on STEPPING ON THE GAS, indeed a rare one. Please give me some facts. Is it a Milburn Morante comedy ? Tom mentions a similar name but mentions it obviously wrong.Does the film have any credits? If yes,can you list them along with the plot,your opinion and perhaps a photo or two? I'd appeciate it. And yes,the 9,5 mm film
is A Story of Nell Gwynne.

Love that last shot, Gian. Beautiful.

Vampyr (1931) great surreal film.

and ...

Couldn't resist watching "The Fog" feature, in scope again. That film was a truly great print from Derann. Colors are VERY true to the original film!

Lovely!

Watched the Walton feature REVENGE with Joan Collins. It arrived a few days ago from Classic Home Cinema... Absolutely gorgeous, mint print in the original boxes. I had never seen the film before and it's always a thrill seeing something on super 8 for the first time. It's an interesting British thriller with some plot twists. The slight editing by Walton was flawless...can't tell where they made the cuts so I just ordered the DVD to see what's missing. It's amazing how rich the colors still are on a number of my Walton features - I wish Derann used the same stock back in the 70's...

since we get our 3. child (little daughter 10 months old) is it very difficult for me to watch Film but today I had a little bit time for Super 8.
Few weeks ago I bought two martial arts films (each 2x400) and Superman (3x400 and the 1x400 version). After watching this I thought how bad is Super 8 compared to 35mm.
But few minutes ago I screened a trailer reel: King kong (Volkswagen commercial), License to kill, Batman (1989), License to kill (different one), and it was great how good can be Super 8 (With a Elmo GS1200 1.0 lens).

Hi Jean-Marc, I'm curious to see pictures of your setup. Are you showing the movies in the garden of your summer residence? Or is it a neigbourhood show, or some kind of open air festival? Do you have portable 16mm shows as well?

Tonight I was back to 16mm (after going to the theatre to see Bruno)and I watched an IB Tech print of Tennessee's Partner with my wife. She liked it but was sad when........OK I won't give it away - I then spooled up Nosferatu on Super 8 but had to stop before actually watching it since I looked at the time (It was a little late to start another film)

Panayotis, sure I am actually tinkering with an 8mm projector that I want to get up n running soon, so I'll watch it on that one (I'm hoping to get a brighter picture than on my Elmo AP-8) and take some pics, and then write up a mini review. The good thing is Stepping on the Gas has LOTS of name credits throughout. As for Nell Gwynne does anyone know the Pathescope number?

Peter, if you read further up, you'll see that we screen both.

Last weekend, we helped organizing a 1960s revival fair. We took over one of the town's garages and set up a makeshift screen made out of a wooden frame and a white linen sheet. We projected soundies all day with an Eiki EX2000 xenon. The projector and my daughter who was dancing around to the beat of the silly songs were the stars of the show.

I'm staying at the summer house of a friend and I'm taking care of his cine gear. I'm also building a small home theatre in one of his cellars. We have one of the exterior walls painted white and it's the exact ratio for cinemascope (about 35ft wide).

I'm taking pics but forgot my USB cord so I won't be able to post them until august.

Last night, "Cabaret". Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome...

Thanks Dino.

On Friday night I showed TOWN ON TRIAL,a nice British mystery with John Mills,a complete std 8 (Derann?) print,supplemented by PROMICES TO KEEP (a promo for THE YAKUZA),DR JEKYL AND MR HYDE,a curious early talkie excerpt looking as if filmed from the stage,with Sheldon Lewis,who had also starred in a silent feature version in the early twenties.Plus,the very first WB cartoon,no titles but known as BOSCO THE TALK-INK KID,Rudolph Ising draws Bosco who dances,talks and sings in perfect early- talking-cartoon synchronisation ! All shorts on super 8.
