OK so my experiment continued today..I have a handful of scope movies that I never watch so I thought I would see how a couple of them look this week...The first one looked great but was small, todays' did not look as great since it is on fading Eastman, but it is still small, and has sent me running back to the old films again...This afternoon I watched on 16mm, FLASH GORDON (1980, 3 x 1600) one of my guilty pleasures.....OH who am I kidding I love most bad movies. But since I don't see my situation changing anytime soon this one will probably lose the rest of its color by the time I get a large enough screening area for scope films. ..Then it was back to the old ones so I watched an Our Gang comedy called Buried Treasure (1926, 9.5mm Pathex O-48, 2 x 300ft) which is actually incredibly rare in terms of 9.5 films in that it has all its original titles from start to finish..This was followed by FAUST (1926, Pathescope SB740 4 x 300ft) which is one of the many great UFA titles available on 9.5mm. A good day of film all in all......Oh and the 16mm was the same set up as the other day, and for 9.5 I used my trusty Specto with a 1 inch lens to fill the 6 foot screen..
