   Okay, the prints of Psycho & Frankenstein are in, & Ive inspected them. They are virtually new: no splices, no dirt, no wear, no scratches. Amazing!
   The density -- as is the case with almost all modern B&W prints -- is a bit on the thin side, but I doubt anyone will pick up on that.
   As most of you know, we have the best 1.37 picture around! And our 1.85 is damn good as well!
   Amusingly, some moron Universal labeled both the cans & each reel of the print of Psycho "1.66."
   Never fear: we'll run it in its correct ratio.

   Nope; havent heard any plans to run those, & I would actually prefer some good old prints to the new ones, if we could get our hands on them.
   I would take an old IB Tech print of The Birds over a new strike any day of the week.
   And Ive run some gorgeous old prints of the other two. Old B&W is superior to the new.

This just in: we'll be running the first six Bond movies at the beginning of March. I know thats a bit of a distance away, so I'll remind you when we get closer; ie, post-Thon.

Running them two at a time? Clarification.... you said the first six Bonds. That is the five Connery Bonds and the Lazenby Bond leaving out Connery's Diamonds Are Forever, correct?

Also, Frankenstein and Psycho were superb. Hair-Raising Hare as the cartoon was a neat opener.

I am going to try and attend all of the Bonds.

"I'd say it was a 30-year-old fine indifferently blended with an overdose of bon bois".

I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death.

I cant predict the turnout, but OHMSS is a fun movie.
You prefer The Man with the Golden Gun? License to Kill? Die Another Day?
