I want to also thank you Bob for your effort to get these 3D titles released on Blu-ray.

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed the article on you guys and also an earlier one on Carnival in Costa Rica. No end of surprises when one gets introduced to a site he's previously unfamiliar with.

Bob, I love that trailer!


Now, you may have already said, but is it possible for some of us to buy copies of the promotional poster for 3-D Rarities, and if so, where?

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Thanks, David!


We're looking into the possibility of selling limited-edition prints of the artwork. I'll let you know how things develop.

I don't really have the wall space for it, but it is an excellent poster.

[Joe Bernardi]

Ordered today.

The trailer for 3-D RARITIES:

Wow, we're getting close to release date on this! I look forward to it more than to vacation week (probably because I don't have a vacation week!).

Say, Bob, is that Dr. Julian Gunzburg playing the ophthalmologist in the short M.L. Gunzburg Presents Natural Vision 3-Dimension, would you happen to know? Or did they hire an actor? Somehow it never dawned on me to wonder before now.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

No, that's an actor. I wish I knew his name!


This is a photo of the Gunzburg brothers.

I had a random memory this morning.


Back in 2006, at the second World 3-D Film Expo in Hollywood, I was fortunate to own a festival pass, which entitled me to see every single screening. I missed maybe two.


One night a young man about my own age, maybe a little younger, settled into a seat nearby and started chatting enthusiastically about finally—finally!—getting to see Doom Town, which he had been waiting long years to see. In fact, he kept referring to it as "my Doom Town."


My heart rose in my throat. He had already missed it—it had played two nights before!


I told him this as gently as I could, but he refused to accept it. He got up from that spot in the balcony, probably to go find a festival organizer or staff member to verify my information. I never saw him again. I felt so terrible that he had missed this rare 3-D short he so badly wanted to see.


So my thought today is that, whoever you are, good buddy, you get connected with Bob Furmanek’s 3-D Rarities, and finally get to see "your Doom Town." It's a good one.

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Wow, I sure hope so!

Thanks to the NY Stereoscopic Association who showed some excerpts in 4k yesterday!

62 years ago, this amazing 3-D short was playing in theaters around the country. We preserved it a few years ago from the original 35mm negatives and in just a few weeks, you'll be able to enjoy this beautifully restored film on 3-D RARITIES.


Was it a short count?

 

[Peter Apruzzese]

See for yourself!

 

[Matt Hough]

Very much looking forward to seeing for myself!
