Fantastic news Bob and Greg! Can't wait! I was there for the 2003 3-D Expo showing and enjoyed it immensely. I'll be picking up 2 copies to support the cause and your efforts.
btw...be careful when mastering the audio, because "...at these levels, sound can KILL!" :D
Bob,
When I click on the various comic images, I get a "sorry that page was not found" error on the Picasa Web Albums page. It doesn't happen with all of the images, but many.
Blu-ray dot com's Dial M for Murder review is up. Low marks for the 3-D. He talks about it being "pretty flat", but I wonder if he has ever seen it properly projected? He also talks about "ringing anomalies". Hmm...
For the life of me, I'll never understand that mentality. Someone has it within their power to share something, at no burden to themselves, which would make many other people happy...and they refuse. :(
How and why do such parties obtain rights to properties they don't want in the first place?
How wonderful that Mr. Elliot, and many other celebrities, got the chance to view their Golden Age works again on the big screen with an appreciative and enthusiastic audience at the two World 3-D Expos.
The reprints in Symmes book never looked all that spectacular to me. I always suspected it had something to do with the paper quality and texture. I'm looking forward to the on-line versions!
That's awesome Bob! Thanks for letting your thread be temporarily hijacked for a little 3-D trivial pursuit.
Btw, speaking of Taza, I was on vacation last month in Moab, Utah with my family. We went horseback riding at Red Cliffs Lodge, near Castle Valley and Professor Valley where around 80%...
I found several other Internet sites with the same info. Of course, they very well may have used IMDb as their source!
I'll trust you'll check with your own industry sources and update us at some point.
Another Golden Age 3-D "three film" club member:
Paul Picerni:
The Bounty Hunter
House of Wax
The Charge at Feather River*
*Picerni's scenes were deleted according to IMDb
I'm still at a loss regarding the "five film" actor. I'm sure I'll kick myself when you reveal him/her.
...this is getting to be fun!
More Golden Age 3-D "three film" club members:
Richard Denning:
Creature from the Black Lagoon
The Glass Web
Jivaro
Patricia Medina:
Drums of Tahiti
Phantom of the Rue Morgue
Sangaree
Well..
I missed Rhonda Fleming as being in the "three" club:
Inferno
Jiavaro
Those Redheads from Seattle
and I also missed that Nestor Paiva was also in:
Jivaro
so he get to join Vincent in the "four" club
..but I'm drawing a blank on the King.
Tell us Bob...
His costar, Lee Marvin, was in three Golden Age 3-D films:
Stranger Wore a Gun
Gun Fury
Gorilla at Large
as was Richard Carlson:
It Came from Outer Space
Creature from the Black Lagoon
The Maze
and Nestor Paiva:
I, The Jury
Creature from the Black Lagoon
Revenge of the Creature
and...
I meant no disrespect to the late Mr. Arnold, whose body of work I greatly admire. And yes memories are funny things. It was interesting to note how a few of the celebrity guests at the two World 3-D Expos "remembered" their scenes being shot "twice...once for 3-D and once for 2-D". Again, no...
It's an uphill battle, Bob.
Heck, even Jack Arnold, in reference to It Came from Outer Space, once stated:
"I thought it was a very successful film, visually, in 3-D. Wearing the red and green glasses posed no problem if the audiences' eyes were all right, but if you had a stigmatism in one...
Bob,
During the World 3-D Film Expo II, roughly a third of the Golden Age titles were shown widescreen and the remainder in academy ratio. On what were the projection aspect ratio decisions based during those those 10 days? Given some of the information you have shared on the subject, some of...
