I may be getting lazy in my autumn years (well, almost 49), but I don't watch too much super 8 from about May through September, except to scrutinize films for sale or to watch an occasional short film, as I hate having to put up all those danged blankets and such over all the windows ...

but haha .. heehee! It's October, the sun is already going down as of 7 O clock at night, and were getting into the fun film watching time of the year, in which my projectors are clicking away almost every other night.

I LOOOVE the cooler times of the year!

Butter the popcorn honey, were watching celluloid tonight!!! [Big Grin]

Hey David,
Will the shock value be in the films themselves or the fact that someone still owns an operating film projector in the year 2014? (LOL!)

Being that my wife has an enormous sweet tooth, we never lack in sweets about the house. But popcorn, most definitely a must!

As of recently, I've really gotten into classic movie trailers, the ole B/W's. In many cases, they are an art form in and of themselves and in the best cases, really represent the features well. In rare cases, even more entertaining than the features films.

However, for those who already love the feature films that they represent, it can be fun to find shots or even pieces of scenes in the trailers, that are not in the features, (as the trailers are often put together before the final cut of the feature is ready to go.

Most likely it's going to be the SHOCK that someone has a FILM projector out in their backyard !
