We got a cobbled-together print that's 4 reels Eastman, 2 reels Fuji -- only the two Fuji are hard-matted.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-03-2007 02:09 AM                 It has been 1382 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Blaine Young Master Film Handler Posts: 477 From: Kirkland, WA, USA Registered: Sep 2006 posted 11-03-2007 02:09 AM                     Reel 6 begins with 12 frames of blank screen before blue text from the WOPR computer appears. The open matte version may have more information in the masked area, but the hard-matte prints are just blank.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Note, the 70mm version with the "so-so" blowup (rather grainy) was blown to full-frame 70mm or 2.21:1.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-03-2007 10:46 AM                     quote: Aaron Sisemore I believe there may have been 70mm prints of this in existence at one time as well. I had a 70mm print in my collection a number of years back. It was pristine... The print still exists in another collection and the color should still be pretty good as I believe it was printed on SP stock. Mark  |  IP: Logged
