I'm still ok in the theatre or movie festivals, thank goodness, but I seem to be no longer able to watch silent movies at home. I have a huge backlog from TCM, but 20 minutes into them, I am gone!!

Went to Spiderman Homecoming last night! Highly recommend if you like superhero movies.

Not a bad Saturday night in. I started with the last three episodes of The Adventures Of Captain Marvel (DVD), I've been watching three episodes a night. Then the main feature, One-Eyed Jacks (the UK Arrow release), totally brilliant, film & restoration, & finished with the original Mummy, I thought I should make a start on the legacy set.

I watched the 1946 La belle et le bete on Blu-ray tonight, revisiting it after many years. So achingly beautiful.

This weekend, Peg and I watched:

Wow! The restoration of "A Star Is Born" is fascinating viewing. I saw this in a theatre in the 1980s when it first was done and owned the movie on VHS, DVD, and now on Blu ray. It is probably one of my favourite movies.

We are viewing my recently acquired set of the "That's Entertainment" movies. I was getting the DVD set ready to take into sell at a local store ("The Beat Goes On") when I took a look at it more closely. I am glad I bought the Blu Rays since I forgot that the old set was composed of 4 of the dreaded "flipper discs" with one side labeled wide screen, and the other "standard".

 

[Mike Frezon]

I hadn't seen A Star Is Born in decades...maybe in about 40 years. I ripped the plastic off a disc I had purchased at Barnes & Noble more than five years ago.

I was a BIG Judy Garland fan when I was younger. But I was really blown away by how great I thought James Mason's performance was in this. I'm thinking it might just be the most credible portrayals of an alcoholic that I've ever seen on film.

The film looked--and sounded--beautiful. I'm not sure it was necessary to include those scenes for which audio-only existed. But it definitely provided insight into what Cukor was thinking when faced with the need to make cuts.

 

[bujaki]

I may be mistaken, but I don't think Cukor was involved in the cuts to the premiere version. Jack Warner mandated them and had the negative of the trims destroyed. We're lucky to have what survived his ruthless cuts.

 

[Mike Frezon]

I totally don't know that history, Jose...so you are probably correct. I assumed something I shouldn't have...and must've misunderstood something I had read.

Thx,
