Finding a library near you that has movies to check out is always nice. I think most of them do 7-day loans, with possible renewal if nobody's put a hold on the title.
-
like, totally!
-
I doubt they've found any of the footage that was reportedly ordered destroyed by RKO. They've probably been looking for the best element for the normal 88-minute cut, although if I'm wrong about this and they've found it, it would indeed be a welcome surprise!

Well, you know, if you're a VIP I'm sure you can get an OCR ASAP, that sounds A-OK, huh?
-
You can say that again, katiekat!
-
Well sometimes you're able to find DVDs of recent movies in the local library. Any branches near your neck of the woods?
-
Well, must be easier to talk about movies getting your money when paying senior tickets!
-
No idea, but I hear it's supposed to be pretty cool!

Someone said earlier he plays a man with a terminal illness in the movie he's currently shooting.

Ah, wish I could be in Austin for SXWS though maybe not this year.
-
Ever been to one of the Sound of Music sing-a-longs?
-
If it was just a bad projectionist, which I guess it might have been, the movie should look OK on DVD. You planning on watching it again on video?

Been to SXSW?

Ah but these days is it really necessary to get out of Texas to get started in the movies? Seems to me that Robert Rodriguez and Richard Linklater did fairly well with movies made in or near Texas!
-
Don't think I'd heard of it, either. Says on imdb.com that it's a Dutch film -- it sounds intriguing enough and I'd like to check it out eventually!
-
Really? I also saw it when it first played in theaters and for some reason a lot of the allegorical imagery really stuck with me -- starting with the concept of the "blue bird of happiness".
-
Well, it's better than nothing?
-
Gilda is right, most people just remember her from The Sound of Music and maybe Mary Poppins. Based on that, it wouldn't seem she was all that!
-
Well some movies are meant to be shown matted in theaters, but sometimes the projectionist doesn't do a good job of lining up the movie the way it's supposed to be.
That's the first explanation that comes to mind, because I also saw it in the theater and didn't notice any boom mike.

The Claudette Colbert one? imdb.com shows it as not available on any home video format in any country. Maltin's guide doesn't even seem to have it

I always meant to learn but somehow never found the time.

The question was meant for newclassicfilmfan but I appreciate your answer all the same Anne.
And I don't really disagree with you on any of that. I really do wish there were more adults going to the movies and fewer teenagers, it might help bring back some movies that obviously aren't meant for teenagers but not because of the rating, if you know what I mean.
Yes, those movies you mentioned are good examples of that. Good Night, Good Luck is one of my recent favorites.

You do know they usually hire ghostwriters for that, don't you?

SueSue, did you see my question about the SOM sing-a-longs? I don't know if any theaters in Texas are doing those, but they are a lot of fun!
