    More complex, Robert. There’s underlying lit to which the studio must abide.

    Thank you for posting this. Aeons ago, I had a 35 nitrate on Our Town, and the track - which was variable density - had been printed lighter than proper. The audio was noticeably problematic. We produced a 16 reduction dupe and re-recorded the track, but were not able to solve the problems...

    The release looks great for the element from which it’s derived. It would be nice to see it off the OCN, which would look better.

    As In recall, my print was variable density. Could depend on who did the track harvest.

    Seldom is anything other than a pix and trk neg deposited. Way too many cans. I was recently asked if anyone wanted to vault trims, outs et al on two indie features. No takers, even for stock footage. Still looking.

    For a film that no longer exists in its original state. Each reconstruction has its own copyright - 1979, 1981, 2000… As to the 1928 M-G-M version, as far as we know, it no longer survives. The M-G-M dupe negative was a combination of M-G-M main and end titles, about 20% original footage, plus...

    Lest any members here post to youtube, PD isn’t as simple as it may seem, especially for works by foreign authors, which are not based upon date of publication, but rather life of author plus 70. We’ve been playing wack-a-mole with people posting Napoleon. Some getting rather indignant and...

    Amazing! I do have one rather odd friend, who only uses her phone for texting.

    Knew that, and typed as such. While auto can sometimes be helpful, I find myself correcting it multiple times. And then it responds with multiple different corrections. May be best to turn it off. For those unfamiliar with the name, Mr. Glennon may best be known for some of his work with Mr...

    Thank you. That was an error. Not audo-kerict.

    Precisely. I find that correcting will only lead to the auto function again having its way. Actually, noted a second “correction” in the same sentence.

    iPhones are not for typing. They were conceived as devices on which to watch Lawrence of Arabia.

    Possibly not 2021? The one where he backs onto stage?

    When most lovers of film think of the great directors, Sam Wood probably won't be on their list. And yet, he directed some of our best loved motion pictures. Part of the problem may have been that he only live to 66, and passed away before what many might consider to be the modern era - 1949...
