Okay everyone, here I am back again. For the past 12 months, I've recorded every single show I ran on my big screen. Has anyone else done that?
You can use a spreadsheet on a clipboard, or even a simple wall calendar. At the start of the new year, put it all down on paper and itemize it. You'll be surprised to know what you can learn....as with this list for 2008, I did not show any super 8 cinemascope OR stereo sound. And that is kind of strange, but there it is in black and white......
SOME PEOPLE 16MM February 18 LOTTERY BRIDE SUPER 8 SOUND March 01 FANTASIA (1940) SUPER 8 SOUND June 19 LET'S MAKE LOVE 16MM SCOPE June 26 GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS (SPANISH) SUPER 8 SOUND June 30 GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS (ENGLISH) SUPER 8 SOUND July 27 SOMETHING SHORT OF PARADISE SUPER 8 SOUND September 23 A GIRL IN EVERY PORT * 16MM October 20 TINKERBELL DVD PANNY November 02 FLYING DEUCES SUPER 8 SOUND November 09 CATTLECALL DVD PANNY November 12 BEDKNOBS & BROOMSTICKS DVD PANNY November 17 STAR WARS - CLONE WARS DVD PANNY November 20 TENDER MERCIES SUPER 8 SOUND November 23 PLANES TRAINS AUTOMOBILES DVD PANNY November 24 TROPIC THUNDER DVD PANNY November 27 N.

Michael 2001 , in sharpness, is not the best Cineavision print I have seen. this is due to the original master used to make the 8mm prints.This does not mean it is bad,it is very very good, but it simply lacks the top,pin-sharp exellence of other Cineavisions.Although I don't believe it is Low Fade,it has retained its colors, which were muted in the original anyhow,and one can watch the dark scenes easily without tiring.It is 139 minutes on 8 x 400 reels. An excerpt was shown at the 7th BFCC,in 1982, which Dr Van Tetering attended and he said that up to that day,200 prints had been sold worldwide. So more must have been printed later but it is one of those films that owners seem to hang on to the end.

My daughter's birthday screening finally happened yesterday evening. It was originally scheduled for dec. 24 but several occurences (guests caught in traffic arriving late, the little one being in a bad mood and me being sick with the flu) led to its cancellation. Since the program was built up and resting on its spools, and since we had friends over for the day, we all gathered in our basement cinema for a selection of commercials from the 70s, trailers to "Toy Story", "SpongeBob Squarepants", "Owl's Moving Castle", "For the Birds" animated short [ November 06, 2010, 09:49 AM: Message edited by: Jean-Marc Toussaint ]
