whoah no one is watching any movies?

Tonight was a very special night...I worked my final day at my current job and will start a new, much higher paying job on Monday..It has been a scary last 8 months while my wife looked for work, but starting monday things will be getting back to normal...so as the perfect celebration (even though it is friday the 13th) my friends from the echo park film center and I did an outdoor filmmobile screening on Market street down in Venice of my 16mm print of Roller Boogie....It was so much fun, we all put on some vintage roller skates they bought at the thrift store and skated around first, then when it got dark enough we set up a small PA and I projected the movie on a 6ft screen on the side of the bus... Everyone had a great time and even when a car drove by it was just part of the fun...It was total guerilla style, and the print is actually more colorful than my pics.

Glad to hear that good things are coming your way, Dino. This economy continues to beat us down.

Great pics here! I remember when Roller Boogie came out, 79/80'ish? Our next poolside screening is coming up next Saturday, so I'm excited about that. So far, 35 guests are confirmed.

Dino-

Thanks for posting the "Roller Boogie" pics. I saw it in '79 at the movie theater, and I watch it about once a year (on DVD unfortunately [Frown] ). Wish I coulda been there! Its a fun movie. My favorite scene is the opening, when Cher's "Hell on Wheels" plays, while everyone skates down the boardwalk [Wink] .

I have had a few fun screenings this summer, but I don't usually post here unless I can take some screen shots. I'll try to get some soon!

Just the other evening, I screened:

Shaft (400 foot digest)
Mako (400 foot digest)
Superman Cartoon (Fliesher- Mummy episode)
Pieces of Silver (Derann 200 foot- MY FAVE!)

James.

That is a rare animated feature on super 8. I wish Derann would have gotten around to putting it out on low fade stock.

James, since you are familiar with the "Boogie" have you ever realized how the lyrics to whatever song is playing are always exactly what is happening. It is so close it makes me laugh...By the end of the screening i had everyone laughing as I was making up my own songs "Jammers' in the car, gonna drive to Arizona and retire, but the kids wanna have the boogie contest..." OK I Guess it loses something without the music playing, but it was hilarious. [Big Grin]

17th August 2010, Tuesday-

Super 8 show with MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS by Vincente Minnelli starring Judy Garland (1944).

Gorgeous Derann print on Eastman LPP. Sharpness is not excellent, whereas color is.

Gian, as always.... WOW! At one point I had an IB Tech 16mm reel from this film but it was going down the vinegar trail so i gave it off to someone who would get some last gasp enjoyment out of it.

Speaking of 16mm today I watched a 16mm silent print of a sometimes forgotten film called THE GOOSE WOMAN (1925). This is one of those films that never had any hoopla about it but Kevin Brownlow swears by it, and I know that Bob Gitt at UCLA has been working on a full preservation of it. Everyone is great in it from Jack Pickford in one of his final performances, to Lousie Dresser in one of her best. It is a really well acted melodrama about family/class and overall acceptance of ones' place in the world, sort of in the same vein as HIS PEOPLE from the same year, only with a murder (instead of religion) as the catalyst.

Overall it was a pretty good print with good contrast, but quite a bit of printed in wear, and lines.

After a really HOT summer, when just thinking of running a projector made me turn out in a cloudburst of sweat, I finally got around to se one of my latest additions last night.
The film was "The Greatest Show on Earth" on 16MM and the print was in Technicolor. And apart from the usual scratches you find on these ex library prints, it was in excellent condition. The print was obviously originally used in Norway, since it has Norwegian subtitles.

Tomorrow I shall try and watch the other film I bought at the same time, "We're No Angels", also 16MM but not a Technicolor print unfortunately. [Frown]

Early this morning I watched "The Blue Lagoon" the original feature on 16mm. I wish I had a method of posting screen shots because Jean Simmons looks great in a sarong.

Super 8 show with KRAMER VS. KRAMER by Robert Benton, starring Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep (Usa, 1979).

Good Italian edition on 6*600ft reels, Eastman stock (a little brownish, but definitely good enough to be happy with).
Rare title (bootleg library print).

That's so cool Gian! Would have never thought "Kramer Vs. Kramer" would be on super 8! It is a very good movie. I actually found the sound track LP in a thrift store recently in mint condition, cover and all! Great instrumental music.

James.

Love that soundtrack too, James.
Well, even if lots of those bootleg prints issued here in Italy are so bad, I must say surprises happen.
And this was one for sure.
Ciao.
