Hoax

I'm thankful for Friedkin's experimentaion here. Thanks to what I learned here of his original process for the first blu-ray version (unable to post a reply on that thread) I've been able to more than satisfactorily save footage I thought was unusable, thus saving time, money and my rep!

I'd like to see Merchant/Ivory's "A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries" get a release period.

I'm quite happy with the blu-ray

We went to DisneyLand soon after I saw this film (6-7yo) and I was terrified the Jungle Cruise boat was going to capsize!

This is one of those films that made me want to make films when my Mom took me to the drive-in to see it (c.1972/73). I actually revisited the much maligned "beyond the Poseidon Adventure" last night from Warner Archive: great picture quality, overall fun tho it bogs down a bit at the beginning...

My favorite Western with Wayne is "Red River". He's given a great character and he runs with it, the cinematography is gorgeous and the character relationships facsinating and fun.

Even if, God forbid the OCNs are gone; there should be enough prints of the 1977 version to piece together a "restored" new print. The OCNs for Citizen Kane and Double Indemnity are long gone yet look at prints and HD/blu of those films.

It's in fun, I'm also a site "Stunt Coordinator" and while I've coordinated stunts, I've done so as director. I haven't won three real life Oscars either but I'm stoked on my HTF three.

How did distortion ever get past QC? Bored intern?? And if they're bored by that film they have no business in the business!

Stoked to just discover the social media component of HTF!

I have some production mementoes from Sodom & Gomorrah if anybody is interested.... https://www.etsy.com/listing/182815899/1961-sodom-and-gomorrah-production-art?

I'm pretty sure the Criterion laserdisc had the Universal logo. It's really surprising how neglected this film has been.

While I'm still stoked to have scored a pressed disc of James Whales' Show Baot, my initial joy was diminished when I discovered the vintage Universal logo had been chopped off. Why??????

The 1933 State Fair should've been part of this set.
