Congratulations. Bringing up a family many years ago curtailed my film collecting, but I have many Std. 8 and Super 8 home-movies of the children growing up.

Now they have children of their own I am collecting again!

Best wishes.

Frank,

Which pond are you referring to.....Osi lives in Idaho! Actually, I guess the Mississippi River would qualify. [Wink]

Osi & David,

What great news!

Oh No Kevin,

This child will have an endless fascination with Super 8!

To start with, I'll get a 50 ft. reel of trash can film, and let the child happily unwind it all over the floor ...

Then the baby will do some of it's "teething" on the 50ft. reel!

Then i'll keep the projector just out of range, but enough to tempt the baby to his feet, learning to walk towards the projector.

THEN he'll learn to read via subtitles on silent movies, (shown at a very slow pace!)

and the list could go on!

Brings me back to the day I went downstairs and found my kid wrapping himself in about 200 feet of R8 Kodachrome. He was like a Kodak Mummy!

-a repaired splice and a thorough cleaning and it projected like nothing ever happened!

He has however become one of my favorite filmaking subjects and has become a great excuse for collecting cartoons!

-Congratulations!

Osi: congrats. Savour every moment, each day is a new and exciting adventure.
Having a baby girl changed our lives.
She attended several private screenings already (her first was the last 600ft of Star Wars). We celebrated her 1st b'day last xmas with the opening of our new cinema and a special screening of Ratatouille. She enjoyed the first half and then fell asleep. She's got a bunch of cores and rollers as chewing toys. [Big Grin]

Fellas,

I think one of the best thing about having your own family,

is that you have a fresh start with another generation. I'm not going to be an "absentee father" like my dad, (though he did pass down the super 8 bug to me), and my wife won't let the abuse that happened in her family, happen with our children, nor will I.

Though only one family, mine will come up with a healthy respect for God, country and thier fellow man in general ...

and that's because I'M going to teach them, and not let the school system or mongrels all around them do my job!

... but, being into self defense, I will train them up to defend themselves well. never swing first but damn well get in the last shot ect.

... because they are coming into a very different world than you or I came into.

Here's to good luck in that endeavor ...

and though it will no doubt slow down my super 8 collecting,

I'll never be out, that's for sure!

LONG LIVE SUPER 8!!
