It is ebay's policy to not allow 35mm prints to be sold on their site.
That is what I knew, and there must be a reason for Ebay stating that policy
quote:
as some prints are in public domain
In this matter, you are talking about the copyrights, and yes that is right for some titles they are public domain. But what about the possession to the material itself, i.e the print physically? Knowing the 35mm prints are never sold to public? Unless you print that public domain material yourself (which is quite impossible, understanding the cost involved) you never own it.
Similar to the analogy (for example) a Jaguar X1 never sold to public, but only available for rent from Jaguar rental service. Every 5 years because the machine will get worn by that, so there is a company's rule to destroy it. But someday, someone is selling in market...how can he got that car, knowing the said company's rule? We can guess that Jaguar X1 is an illegal item.

35mm collecting is not illegal in general,
OK may be to collect in general is OK but not to trade it. So as Damien says above, you collect but you don't talk about it ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Going back to Wednesday:
Paradise, Hawaiian Style on Super 8mm. Nice print, good color despite being on Eastman stock. Focus is good but a bit soft, overall, I'm very happy with it.
Thursday:
Commando on Blu-Ray. Very nice and filmlike HD transfer, grain intact, color natural and quite vibrant in some scenes, excellent detail. A nice upgrade from the DVD and still a fun movie after all these years!
Wrapped up 2009 with my annual showing of Turn Back The Clock with Connie Selleca. A very good 1989 TV movie that I really wish would be released on DVD so I can retire the DVD-R I made from my VHS.
Then, I started 2010 with the Star Trek episode Mirror, Mirror one of the very best episodes of the original series made better with new CGI effects (I remain amazed at how natural they look!).

If I was ever to buy any parts of the Derann Fantasia, (as I wouldn't want the whole thing), it would be the "Nutcracker Suite" section AND "Night on Bald Mountain/Ave Maria" sequence.
Love those screen shots.
Disney was to make many a great animated film after Fantasia, but, even by his own testimony, he would never fly as high as he did with Fantasia. I think his great mistake was that he over-estimated the cultural heights that the general public would desire to achieve to. Todays hollywood does the exact opposite.
You can't lower the bar too far in seeing what people will put up with.
Fantasia set a high bar of cultural entertainment that I don't think will ever be exceeded. I'm still spellbound by the fact that Fantasia is only about ten years beyond the early black and white Mickey's. I wonder if Walt looked back at Fantasia and said to himself, "Damn good, old man!"
I just decided to watch a slew of cartoons :
Reel of three Tom and Jerry's 400ft
Mouse Cleaning
Quiet Please
Heavenly Puss
Early rarities 400ft
Fiddlesticks (early color/Flip the Frog)
Sunshine Makers (color/Van Buren)
Baloonland (color/Ub Iwerks)
Classic Warners 400ft
Whats Opera Doc?
Box Office Bunny
Carrotblanca
and lastly ... Classic Mickey 600ft
Steamboat Willie (first sound Mickey)
Sorcerors Apprentice (one of Mickey's High points!)
Simple Things (last classic era theatrical Mickey)
Runaway Brain (first New theatrical Mickey early 1990's)
Hows that for a night of classic toons?!
