  • Moving my 'scope viewing onto Cineavision prints A couple of Tom & Jerry cartoons. "Touche Pussy Cat" and "Busy Buddies" both faded and pale on Eastman, but no obvious colour shift to pink!!
    The baby in "Busy Buddies" gives Tom & Jerry more trouble than Baby Herman does Roger Rabbit, I wonder if it was the inspiration for him.

      • A coulour amateur standard/regular 8 shot at the 1958 World's Fair in Brussels. It has been a major event for the city and it has been remembered during several decades. The subject is more than interesting but the cameraman couldn't help move his camera all the time, which is a basic mistake. However, the lenght of the film (120 m/ 400 ft) makes it a precious document as you can see many aspects of this famous fair.

          • Douglas Meltzer How much fun that sounds! I love binge-watching.

            • There’s a limit when I binge-watch: when the pile of films gets in the beam I have to stop!

              • Janice,

                That's great, I never thought of applying that term to this! It can be hit or miss with these short versions. Dinosaurus uses full screen dialogue titles which aren't necessary and they take up way too much valuable footage.

                              • A few days ago, when the forum was down, a standard/regular 8 1923 silent film : Cricket On The Hearth. It's amzing all the titles you can find on this gauge. I didn't know the word "hearth", so not only did I enjoy a film but I also learned something.
