A VERY limited time offer of a free streaming of an old Marathon rarity is being offered by WB. Tonight & tomorrow only.

Not sure it'll work for everyone but here is your chance to see the incredible "Sh, The Octopus" which will only be available from WB as part of a 3 disc set.

I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.

I just found out about last October's third annual "Doomsday Film Festival" in New York.

http://www.doomsdayfilmfest.com/

The promo and lineup look great

-Special guest curator Edgar Wright (schdeule permitting)

-LIFEFORCE

-DR. STRANGELOVE

-MIRACLE MILE

and then you see the venue in this Gizmodo article:

http://gizmodo.com/5851554/come-to-the-doomsday-film-festival-a-movie-party-devo...

In what they're probably claiming is a bomb shelter you see folding chairs on a concrete floor, and what must be 16mm projection on a roll-up screen. That sort of explains how they have such great films in their lineup.

Sounds like a pretty cool small scale 'underground' event! Maybe, we could recreate it in the tiny screening room next year in Somerville at the Marathon!

Wink

P.S. They are also screening the rarely shown Larry Cohen film GOD TOLD ME TO (aka DEMON) and that old Marathon fave COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT (although I hear it's no longer as good on the subject as one of the films shown at the Festival........)

Don't know. I hardly ever go these days. It's gotten too expensive.

Definitely some prints to try for the next marathon. Road Warrior, Silent Running, Barbarella. Not Solaris though, please not Solaris.
Especially of interest are the 3, 70mm prints if they get the system installed to show them at the Somerville.

I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.

Notice on the flyer it has the name Paul G. Allen twice: once as a sponsor and a second time as providing a display from his sci-fi collection. This Allen guy must be quite the nerd. I'll bet he probably works for a computer company. Wink
