 Tux and Fanny 10/10

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era list

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★½ NOTES: Although a cut follows one of Mama’s jokes about her breasts, the horrible scene in which Molly is violently raped plays slightly off position and the credits suffer prominent damage, the print otherwise looks so stunningly crisp and vivid that any dust that does get in the way is hardly noticeable. First five minutes following the Guild and Chargeurs logos ran with heavier motion blurs, sort of like it was scanned from a digital NTSC copy circa ‘95.

SCREENING: 35mm DATE: July 20th CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End NOTE: Intended to see this double-billed with You Don’t Nomi, but a few days walking into chanting, COVID-spewing football men’s territory put me off and I moved it to the day after our bumhole Prime Minister lifted restrictions while self-isolating (still a safer environment than it would be during the Euros, ironically). Took D9, but when the PCC decided to reinstate social distancing, I moved to D10 so that I had the required one-gap distance from my neighbours who had initially chosen to sit directly next to me.

 Bad Hair 8/10

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era list

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Noticeably brown-tinted towards the beginning - which opens on the BBFC card, the Guild logo and a near-silent Universal logo - and some faint vertical lines cover the first reel, but also a crisp and often clear print. The scene that suffers the worst comes towards the end of the second reel, when one of the mini-Ashes jumps into Ash’s mouth and starts to become the Evil Ash, which from the moment Bruce’s eyes are in close-up is practically jailed in green vertical lines all across the screen. Ash says, "I ain’t that good," after shooting his evil counterpart. Ended on the Universal-mandated happy ending, and cut off before the music over the credits could end.

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era list

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: Print ran just fine but was dusty and slightly blurry, more on the bottom half than the top, and a dozen vertical lines forming what looks like a train track overlaid the whole film in the exact position I was sitting in.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: 2001 Columbia-TriStar re-release. A few seconds of buzzing can be heard at the end of the first reel, and various kinds of static, squiggly or hyperactive vertical lines get in the way of the print. Some severe damage affects two seconds of the scene in which Frank grunts and yells at Dorothy’s vagina, and the scene in which Jeffrey explains the best he can of what he’d witnessed to Sandy at the diner takes its time to reach a clean state. But behind all those faults lies a gorgeous-looking print. Also the first time I’ve seen the PCC keep on at least half of the end reel.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★★ NOTES: Terrific preservation; presumably from the same source as Gummo given that they both opened with just the Fine Line logo. The closest it could come to any ruin was the changeover following “Wig in a Box”, but even that did not tarnish the end of the song one bit.
