Hello Fabrizio, how are you?

MAZINGA VS GOLDRAKE is part of the feature MAZINGA CONTRO GLI UFO ROBOT (5*600ft) released by Ariete in full scope edition.
The feature was also distributed as 3 separate episodes. MAZINGA CONTRO GOLDRAKE is one of them.
This one is anyway considered as a full feature too: it is mounted on 2*400ft and was supplied in a very nice box. BUT... The title written on the box was a little different: SOS ATTACCO UFO.

For a stange case (considering we are talking about official prints) the full feature MAZINGA CONTRO GLI UFO ROBOT was only issued by ERSA. But the 3 excertps (edited, once more, as 'short' features individually sold) have been printed and distributed by some different Editors (Ariete, CHC, Ersa, Euromach). A real mystery! Each excerpt was also available on 6*200ft editions.

All of them are in scope, anyway. And the print quality is the same (the source was for sure the same in all cases).
Something so wierd occoured to my personal copy of MAZINGA VS GOLDRAKE: the first reel is printed on Kodak SP and the second one on LPP. There's a notable difference of color, of course. Dubbing is really bad (a part of the movie hasn't been dubbed in a proper way and you can hear Japanese and Italian mixed together. This is a 'limit' of all prints available of these titles).

By the way, a masterpiece, if you like the genre.
Hope this helps.

Ciao.

Last night I was trying out the Sankyo 700 projector that I had recently won on ebay. They are really nice machines and as has been stated on this forum in the past, vey kind to film. In fact it was because of the comments made about the Sankyos on this forum that encouraged me to get two of them. The show was two Marketing Films 3X400ft mini features, "The Ten Commandments" and "Barbarella". To edit a 3hr and 39min feature to about 45min is no mean feat and I think that they did very well, and with stunning colour and sound I was well pleased. "Barbarella" was slightly faded but great fun all the same. Jane Fonda was gorgeous.

Today it was the second half of the Woodstock documentary, not a very good print but still nice to have. After that the second reel of Pane, amore e fantasia with Gina Lollobrigida.

In Sunday 20 the BFCC well known “Greek Mafia” with Panayotis A. Carayannis, Yanis Tzortzis and Vagelis Proios came to my house for a movie night.
At the first part we watched:
TWA – Getaway movie Greece 200΄ Color Silent
Greece and its beautiful islands 200΄ Color Sound
Vacations in Greece 1979. Amateur travel movie from Germany 400΄(18fps) Color German (narrator) Sound.
Fovate o Giannis to therio – Greek movie. (Yanis scared by the monster) 400΄ B/W Greek Sound.
Drapetefsis (Robin Hood – Ladies of Sherwood) 2x400΄ B/W original Sound with Greek subtitles.
Midway. 400΄ Color Sound. (brought by Yanis Tzortzis).

The second part we watched films of Panayotis A. Carayannis. So it is up to him to write the titles.

I was very pleased to meet the “Greek Mafia” (the word mafia is for fun of course). A team with great love for films and great knowledge. Hope to meet them again soon.

Yesterday it was time for "Star Trek (TOS) - The city on the edge of forever". It is the episode where Kirk and Spock jumped to the 1930s years to rescue Dr. McCoy (with Joan Collins).
Good print but a little bit too red.

On Tuesday I screened Terminator 2. Absolutely stunning print in Scope.

Regards and have a nice (screening) weekend,
Michael

Hi Antonis,
that´s sounds very good, how was the color of the greek travel movies?
I was born in izmir and back in the 80´s as we travel to turkey by car, we drove once thru greek (Thessaloniki, Kavala, chalkidiki) and I was very imperessed.
What a pity, we fly in 3 weeks to Istanbul, traveling by car is no more fun since the War in Joguslavia, so we must fly.
Regards

Hello Oemer.
Thank you very much for the reply. The company production films was just a little bit pink, but still with very good colour and sound (at the one with the sound).
The amateur film from Germany was in great colour and good sound. It was very well edit with narrator in sound and on the screen.

You know, my grandparents (from my mother’s side) were born in Alatsata and my grandparents (from my father’s side) were born in Izmir -> Smyrna -> Smirni.
Now I live in Athens in Nea (new) Smirni.

Tonight was a comedy night with "The Road to Bali" (Derann) with Bob and Bing. This was an abridged feature on 3X400ft reels (lovely print). This was follwed by "Bulldog Jack" (PM Films) with Jack and Claude Hulbert, Ralph Richardson and the lovely Fay Wray. Again an abridged feature on 3X400ft reels and set on the London Underground Railway with disused stations and an exciting finish on a speeding tube train. Great stuff.

Super 8 Sound

Singing In The Rain

4 Guests

We have kicked off another one of our movie festivals. In January we started this idea and did the complete Star Wars series between super 8 and DVD. In May after my vacation we did a documentary (non-verbal) 4 part series.

Planning a festival like this is easy, and watching the movies is fun too. But when you reach the point of the end, you feel just so good because you have seen so much great entertainment. Whether it be from the classic golden age of movie making, or modern present day technology.

And with this festival, nearly everything is on super 8.

And tonight we began what should be a 20 week movie musical program. Up next, Easter Parade followed by The Jolson Story. Soon we shall screen Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Xanadu, Grease II, The Hollywood Knights, The Wizard of Oz, Urban Cowboy, Cabaret, Footloose, Fantasia (1940) Sound of Music, West Side Story, Fantasia (2000)That's Dancing, Dreamgirls, A Chorus Line, and That's Entertainment part 1.

The schedule will run in the order as listed above. As always the program is subject to change or delays. But as far as I know it includes EVERY musical I have in my entire collection of movies between DVD and Super 8. The titles selected fall under the category of musicals, and each one includes more than two movies with the same star by the time we have screened everything. What ever the reason, there is always a connection between two movies that have been selected for this great festival. For example, Grease and Xanadu both have Olivia Newton John, tonight's show and Xanadu have Gene Kelley.And only a select few are on disc. This is a film study program on the subject of musicals. Film discussion related to the topic after every show.

Monday Nights at my house!

If you are going to be in my area please let me know a few weeks before your arrival:

So I think the master was pink and not the copy [Wink]

Yesterday I screened my Scope-Edition of Once upon a time in the west. Very good colour and sharpness.

Hi Gian,
perhaps the lab was not the owner of the negative. I know that the S8-print was made from an 16mm-Negative.
In Germany exist only roundabout 20 copies. And mine is not available [Big Grin]

The one and only is the scope-copy. The flat one is not the same...

Regards,
Michael

I think Micheal might have been just holding the scope lense over his projector with one hand and taking the photo's with the other. That's not a joke! At one time, my scope bracket broke and I ended up holding the scope lense over the projector lense for the last three hours of "Ben Hur".

Were my arms tired! That's hard to do and still keep the focus just right!

Micheal, though, will no doubt clear it up better than I.
