    Balls, the 8mm projector doesn't rewind, hahaha
    waiting for blvd. to get home from school to have him hold a spool while I spin it :facepalm:

    I've gotta test the third 8mm projector to see if that'll work instead. The art deco one doesn't hold large spools like Metropolis is on, so I need to use a lame one.

    Also Hunchback of Notre Dame!

    holy christ 8mm threading methods are a goddamn chore. 16mm is like bam, done. 8mm means spending 10 minutes getting fucking notches on the film and the takeup spool threaded.

    fffffffffffffffffffffff

    My friend got an 8mm camera and film projector off some old dude for like 80 bucks. It all looks brand new like it's never been used.

    I'm tempted to learn to use it when I have the time.

    I have a Keystone from the 50s and, while being really badass, nobody develops that kind of film. Kodachrome II what what.

    So unless this 8mm camera is from the 80s or so, I'd say google around to find out where you're going to process all the film before you get too gung-ho like I did.

    I also have scripts and screenplay notes for both 8-)

    what

    they're really thick!

    that stuff is probably worth a few thousand dollars to somebody

    It's likely that they're just carbon copies, unfortunately.

    More cinematic candy plx

    Edit:
    So I was looking through reels downstairs. We have a reel copy of Psycho!
    Then I found 8mm copies of Nosferatu (abridged), Metropolis (lol it's like 12 reels long), and D.W. Griffith's Intolerance.
    Daaayyyuuuum

    I'll tape some more stuff too. I was connected via ethernet earlier and didn't want to interrupt all the downloadin'.

    On that note, I hope there's a decent recorder program because every time i do it straight to Youtube or whatever the audio is late.

    Ah, 1929, a real year, when opium was something in everybody's pipe and women were still weak little things with tiny minds incapable of matching wit with a man of stature and position.

    Also there are so many monocles, you guys.

    It's weird to talk about scarlet street

    anyway, scarlet street is great, but after you watch it you should really look into more Edward G Robinson films. Double Indemnity, Key Largo, and so much more.

    God I wish I had The Big Heat on reel. It's not a Robinson film but it's one of my favorite noirs.

    we've got a poster of this in the basement. fitting that i use it now to update what movie we watch on 16mm!

    casablanca.jpg

    That's right. Casablanca! Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman together! Not uncommon, but let's be honest, they were a fucking team to be reckoned with when they were together. Bogey was my favorite actor as a child, and I've watched almost every single film he's been in.

    In his later movies you can tell he's going downhill. I could barely watch Beat the Devil (even though it's three years earlier than his last film), because he really looks like a sick skeleton. I experienced this with my dad, sure, but movie idols are different.

    I wonder if I've seen more films with Peter Lorre than Humphrey Bogart. Honestly I think they're about 50/50 in terms of movies I've seen.

    See when I'm a film teacher I'll know exactly what films I'm gonna show to my students. The question is whether or not there's interest.

    I hate that modern civilization has basically said fuck off to the films and literature that made it what it is.

    My mom was once my father's student. And he coached her in fencing.

    Then she graduated from college and they got married.

    It is written.

    I'm doomed.
