Super 70mm Chill-O-Rama even that would be something to see!

'Super 70mm Chill-O-Rama' ... aka HiFi Stereo 70

... although one wonders if the high format origins will be apparent in the new 35mm print, or if it will look more like the scratchy magenta scenes in the trailer.

Should still be a lot of fun, and a very rare opportunity to see this in 3-D. I hope the reception is positive enough to encourage a full digital restoration to be pursued for eventual 3D-bluray release.

WOW

and I liked my new job so much...

 

[Camps]

Wow. Thanks for catching this, Phillyrobt! I'll be there!

 

[3D Projectionist]

Absolutely superb!

Of course it's while I'm out of town! But have a great time!

That's a very impressive list. If the event is a success maybe it will inspire the rights owners to put some of the MIA titles back into circulation on Blu-ray.
Incidentally, "Love in 3D" may have once been an X certificate but anyone looking for pervy thrills will be out of luck.

Blast it! And here's something else to do on a cold winters night

 

[StephenDH]

I suppose there's always Gaspar Noe "Love": it's got good 3D and actual porn (one scene really will make you duck). It also contains explicit scenes of bad acting.
I'm not sure it's worth the effort.

The screenings at the Quad start today. I plan to attend several.

50/50 here on catching Flesh for Frankenstein tomorrow but def catching Frankenstein's Bloody Terror, as well as Dynasty later this week.

I'll be introducing the Roadshow version of THE BUBBLE - showing for the first time since 1968!

If anyone here makes the show, please say hello.

Bob, any chance you'll be sticking around for Flesh for Frankenstein? Or at least sticking around a bit after the end of The Bubble? Would love to say hi but won't be able to make most of the Bubble screening (and I have the blu ray... )

 

[Bob Furmanek]

Possibly, not 100% sure yet. Please look for me, I'd like to meet you and put a face to the name!

Bob, you don't know how badly I wish I could be there to see the full film. The Bubble soared in my esteem on the basis of the Archive's outstanding Blu-ray, which I spin on a regular basis. And of course it would be dynamite to chat you up in person, as always. Those meeting you for the first time have something great to look forward to.

Enjoyed the screenings tremendously. There was a good, enthusiastic crowd in attendance. Friday the 13th was sold out completely! Big cheers from the audience for the opening titles and many of the popous.

Interesting that they're showing the expanded version of The Bubble, and the cut down version of Mark of the Wolf-Man, but a rare event either way.

I should make the Bubble screening. If I get a chance to say hi I'm sure I'll have to restrain myself from picking your brain on all kinds of stuff you're probably not allowed to talk about!

Thanks for the report, Ed. I've always considered Friday the 13th 3D the best of the 1980s bunch of 3D films in terms of its use of the medium. The producers of that movie plugged their tried-and-true formula right into the 3D aesthetic, and it fit like a glove.

I saw F13 over the summer and had the same experience.

Yet Paramount STILL can't be bothered to put out a proper 3D Blu-Ray...

After 46 years, Sam Sherman's 3-D version of FRANKENSTEIN'S BLOODY TERROR finally had a successful US premiere last night at New York's Quad Cinema. (The LA screenings in October 1971 were ruined by faulty projection attachments.)

The full house loved it and Harry Guerro at Exhumed Films deserves all the credit for making this happen. Sam Sherman took part in the festivities and was an excellent host, setting the stage for a most exciting premiere. His post-show Q&A was fascinating and the man has many stories to share of his days as a producer and distributor.

That being said, his 35mm negative has problems. It was made optically in 1971 by special effects wizard Linwood Dunn from a positive 70mm print. The first and last reels are VERY dark and there's missing information (crushed blacks) on the dupe negative. Digital tools could certainly improve upon what Mr. Guerro has done photo-chemically but even the brilliant Greg Kintz cannot restore visual information that is not there.

Or can he? I'm reminded of the miracle that he worked on the left side of GOG. Hmm...

Nevertheless, the film itself is a revelation in 3-D. Cinematographer Emilio Foriscot and production designer José Luis Ferrer clearly had an understanding of stereoscopic composition and the Hi-Fi Stereo 70 system (only used on three features) delivered an outstanding 3-D image. There's more information here: http://www.in70mm.com/news/2010/hifi70/english/index.htm

I'm told the 65mm OCN survives in Spain but is being held hostage by a lab and several companies are claiming ownership. I'd like to know the status of the original four-channel 70mm magnetic tracks? If those cans have not been opened in decades, I fear the worst as the dreaded vinegar syndrome may have rendered them useless by now.

LA MARCA DEL HOMBRE LOBO benefits greatly from seeing as intended and it's status is certainly elevated by the superb stereo cinematography. This is a film that truly deserves to be seen and enjoyed again in 3-D and stereophonic sound.

Is there a 3-D Blu-ray in the future? Only time will tell but I for one would love to see that happen.

If you have a chance to see this new 35mm print on the big screen, don't miss it!
