Last night I ran a new 200ft Super8 Derann print about 9 minutes long I bought last year "A Train For Christmas" the colour was a bit on the blue side, my full 16mm 25 minute I have of the same title is a bit red....cant win "drat" ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif) however I am happy to have both ![[Smile]](smile.gif) visited the actual locomotive last week.
After the film side was over we watched "The Time Machine" 1960 projected on the Sanyo Z1 VP, very good 5:1 sound by the way.
Jeroen although technically it is a 8mm forum I always find it interesting what other people like to watch, it doesn't bother me if its eg 8mm, 9.5mm, 35mm, 70mm, VP or whatever, each to there own. It does make things a bit more interesting though, dont you think?.....jeepers come to think about it I was talking about triple expansion steam engines on the Yak section ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

First,thanks for THE WANDERING JEW, I'll be waiting for it.
Second,yes,GREEK MEETS GREEK is the Metro 200 ft version in its original box.A dark print,but then, you never know (knew) what to expect from those second rate companies (Metro, Atlas etc) with all those mouthwatering rare titles. Imagine my surprise when,in exchange for another film, I got, in its original box, an Atlas Chaplin comedy titled CHARLEY ON THE FARM and discovered it was a Pat Sullivan Chaplin cartoon ! !
On another subject. Remember when you informed me that A1 Video had an 8mm copy of the Milburn Morante comedy,STEPPING ON THE GAS? That was in November. I e-mailed Alex Bartosh with a big order of film titles. He answered immediately. He remembered me from the past when I was buying films from him (and he was o.k.) and said he'd gather the titles and would call me back. Ten days afterwards I wrote him back asking if he had forgotten me. He again answered immediately with the same answer. On January 3rd,I wrote him for the last time,asking him if he didn't care for my good money or for selling the films to me. He again answered immediately, and politely as always,that now that the holidays are over he would look over his boxes and find the titles for me (!!!). Of course,once more, nothing happened. Of course,now I don't want any deals with him and he can shove his films where it's due. I am writing this as a warning of "don't bother with him" to all forum members. Did you or any other member have a similar experience with him ?
