The 3-D Film Archive is emphatically not responsible for this petition, but we welcome this warm expression of fan support for our work. We would be delighted to help any studio preserve, restore, and present its classic 3-D library.
With regards to the Blu-ray of Revenge of the Creature, we...
I just prepped my disc for HMD viewing.
I can tell you that the base view for this disc is the right eye. The only other film in my collection with a right-eye base view is GOG. All other 3-D films I have encountered have had a left-eye base view.
I cannot yet comment on picture quality, but I...

Great question! As far as I know... no. I don't typically send or receive anything via FedEx. I did not stop to wonder why or how they might know my number in order to text me.
In my case, I received a text Tuesday morning, after I had already departed for work. When I got home, I found a slip...
Add my name to the list of those receiving their replacement disc via FedEx.
I got a text message Tuesday, November 6th, alerting me to a FedEx delivery. They insisted on collecting my signature and on checking my photo I.D., which made it necessary for me to arrange to pick up my parcel at the...

I used to own an anaglyphic print of Third Dimensional Murder in Super 8. I showed it at work one year for our office Halloween party. I thought people would be impressed to see a 3-D film from so long ago, but most folks reacted with polite but subdued enthusiasm.
The film suffers from too...
One hallmark of classic Hollywood cinema is its glamour. Character, conflict and plot might be stronger or weaker from one film to the next, but the elements of mise en scène-- sets, costumes, lighting and photography, and not least the personal beauty and charm of the featured players--...

Everybody look out! The young lady responding to my complaint email at Amazon dispatched a replacement copy, and was willing to allow me to keep my original at no cost!
This is highly amusing... but also not the outcome I was looking for. My religious convictions and conscience being what they...

For what it's worth, here is what I wrote to Amazon:
Select an issue: More order issues
Select issue details: Other order question or issue
Enter short summary of issue: Substandard Product
This is a two-disc set. Disc one is fine, being identical (or nearly identical) to a disc already...

Hi, everyone,
Working in post-production as I do, I hear my share of trade talk. I feel I know a fair amount of what's going on here and there all over town.
I am convinced that Universal does not regard the Creature from the Black Lagoon Complete Legacy Collection as problematic.
Therefore I...

Every other 3-D Blu-ray in my collection makes use of frame packing to produce two full-sized 1080 x 1920 frames, one for the left eye and one for the right eye. Properly equipped Blu-ray players can play these files in 3-D or in 2-D. In 2-D, the player simply plays whichever "eye" is designated...
I have been privileged to see The Maze in dual-strip Polaroid 3-D three times in my life. Each time there was a special energy in the air, a joyful hum that rose even among the most jaded old film trolls dotting the crowd. Even those who had seen the film many times (and who knew well what...
I paid Amazon $21.99 for Cease Fire! upon release, which was considerably lower than its initial list price when I placed my pre-order. Me, I thought this reasonable.
Leave it to 3-D Film Archive to preserve not only our stereoscopic film heritage, but also the tried-and-true exploitation tradition of the square-up reel! :lol::D:)

Ask yourself one question: Would you like to be the operator in a booth with two 5,000-foot reels of cellulose nitrate rolling at once, and two more off to the side?
Widespread use of two-strip 3-D simply could not have been accomplished without a reliable safety film. So, regardless what Mr...
Stephen, as for Cinerama appearing out of the blue, well, it pretty much did. It was the brainchild of persons working on the East Coast. Some few studio executives saw it, yes, but they are surely to be forgiven for wondering just what theater in the world was going to equip three projectors...
I think a popular narrative has taken root in the minds of the lazier film historian and the casual movie buff alike, namely that color, widescreen, 3-D and stereophonic sound were ushered in solely to combat television. My thesis is that there is a nugget of factual truth there, but that there...
