Here at the Murin household, we stay in Christmas mode untill Januray 2nd!
That said, I was home alone yesterday so, again using the digital projector and the 80" screen, I watched:
BLU-RAY:
Godzilla (1998 US version. Love this movie!)
Nightmare Before Christmas
Then, when my parents got home, we watched, on their 55" HDTV:
Mystery Science Theater 3000: Santa Claus Conquers The Martians
Possible more Christmas movies to come in the week ahead!

Last night:
All Super 8 on the Elmo ST 1200 and Eumig 940.
Sahara Hare, Derann Bugs, brand new beautiful print.
Project the Right Image, Derann brand new - thought it would be an old B & W, but was surprised to find it was colour, good fun film.
Bad Ol' Putty Tat, Derann brand new print.
(still have Toot Whistle Plunk & Boom C/S brand new to run)
Microphonies Three Stooges some print warping causing slight in and out of focus. I notice this problem on a few old Columbia Stooges prints; anyone else have this problem?
Tom Slick cartoon with full opening. Another very nice IE International print with very little fade.
Auto Cine Pathe Pictorial. Wanted it new in 1979, bought it used in 2009! Any film featuring a drive-in will win me over, this features the new Metro drive-in in Rome......with some to come in the UK!!! Outside of the US, Metro (MGM) Drive-ins were very popular, there was a large 1750 car twin just near here. Any other films featuring drive-ins that I have missed (other than Grease)?
As you can see, I love my shorts although I do have another feature coming....stay tuned.

Gian - You are like a projectionist role model, with the complete and well thought out programs you put together
Jean-Marc - thanks for the kind words, part of todays' screening was inspired by you, since I have been thinking about fun dinosaur movies lately, unfortunately this print is not the best.
Today was a "two-fer" I did a silent film in the afternoon on Reg 8mm called ANNAPOLIS (1928) which I'm going to put a full review in the proper section, and then tonight it was sort of a living room grindhouse since I busted out my latest purchase. A $20 16mm feature that was faded and scratched, but let's face it for $20 I expected that, but it is a fun flick regardless. Oh and for the record AT THE EARTH'S CORE (1976) has one of the funniest lines ever when Peter Cushing yells "You cannot mesmerise me, I'm British"
