Projectors in movies (as opposed to the other way around) ... continued
The Mary Millington Story (TV documentary on a porn star) has a Eumig 610D shown when discussing her 8mm work. It also mentioned that they thought one of her films sold 300,000 copies!!!! Makes you wonder how much Super 8 print stock was used for collectors prints and how much for that industry.
Not in a movie, in the news (national French TV channel 2, tonight. My pictures are of poor quality, sorry. This lady worked on the French film "Les vacances de Monsieur Hulot". The tv channel shows places in France where famous films were shot.
From the French serie La garçonne (I found in the dictionnary the words tomboy and flapper). The action is set in 1919. The projector is a 35 mm one. Not easy to take pictures of the TV screen...
In the second episode this season of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy, Five (Aidan Gallagher) watches 16mm footage of an event that will actually take place a few days in the future!
While watching a movie tonight with my 13 year old grandson....I noticed this little projector illustration in the ending credits of Once Upon a Deadpool
The French/German channel Arte, starter a new serie, tonight. The original title is Zasada przyjemnosci (it's a co-production, the action is set in Poland, Czec Repulbic and Ukraine). In the third episode, a projector appears.
It turns out that relationships mean watching other people's movies. Since I met my wife, I've been to quite a few of hers, and then I became a Dad. For years I saw nothing further up the food chain than a "G" rating. It was a big deal when he was about 3 and we took him to The Heffalump Movie. By the same token, I started to question my own life's choices that time I sat through The Lego Movie!
I mean, Granted! -this "other people's movies" thing rises to an entire other level for them! They've both been to CineSea a couple of times! (They actually wanted to go!)
-but for me, it all bore fruit when my son talked us into seeing Hugo! There I was sitting there in that theater seat: "Yeah, yeah, yeah...-kid's living up in the ceiling of a train station, and he's escaping from Borat the Cop!"
-but then that moment came when I realized that this was really a Film about Film!
