The only problem was that they showed a picture of the guy standing next to his projector--a 16mm JAN on a homemade wooden 2'X4' stand. Somehow I kinda doubt that!  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-05-2003 09:10 AM                     Jeff I saw the same paper on Sunday after my girlfriend was looking at it.  |  IP: Logged Paul Salley Expert Film Handler Posts: 105 From: Liberal, Kansas Registered: Jan 2001 posted 08-05-2003 10:31 AM                  This is just how it always is....anything you wanna see on TV is always on THURSDAY NIGHT!!!!  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-07-2003 08:12 AM                     Bump This runs tonight on Bravo around 7pm (est). It's a 3 part show, all 3 parts run after each other. Get your VCR's set.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 08-08-2003 12:13 PM                     I caught about 90% of the series last night, and it certainly cleared up the convenitional myths about the white house still running XL's with mono sound, etc. Obviously, they've been the recipient of a lot of generosity when it comes to equipment. Obviously, though, most of it was aimed at "non theatrical" people and with the exception of some tid bits was someting of a letdown. I got a chuckle over Kennedy's behind the scenes direction of PT109 and Nixon's "nixing" of the number from 1776 (terrible movie IMHO), but I do wonder where Reagan got a "White House quality" print of Knute Rockney! Good luck if one of us called Warners. Ahh to be Jack Valenti.  |  IP: Logged Claude S. Ayakawa Film God Posts: 2738 From: Waipahu, Hawaii, USA Registered: Aug 2002 posted 08-08-2003 03:46 PM                        The entire three part show was shown last night at 8:00 here in Honolulu and I also watched about 90% of the program. Although the show was very interesting, the commercials started to get on my nerves when they kept showing promos for Bravo's "WEST WING" and the reality show with a gay theme over and over and over and over and over and over again! After about an hour and a half, I was very bored by the show itself because of being forced to watch these commercials over and over and over and over and over again! By the way, I have to differ with you about "1776", Jeff. I love the movie because of my interest in early American history. I thought it was very well made and as far as I can tell, it was fairly accurate. -Claude  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I suppose it could be considered "home theatre."
