Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era list
FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★½
NOTES: Starts off rougher than it does later on, with a dozen vertical lines covering the picture for a minute, but the rest of the print looks just fine aside from all the dust. Two changeovers render Bill Murray’s dialogue unintelligible, one frame of the Zissous towards the beginning has a gaping hole, a few seconds of Murray and Jeff Goldblum suffers from damage and a couple seconds of Seu Jorge’s performance over the credits are unjustly cut.

FORMAT: 70mm
CONDITION: ★★★★
NOTES: Comes complete with David Lynch’s unaltered credit. Aside from some vertical lines that turn up in random places, most often in the middle but sometimes to the left, just one cut frame and the whole credit sequence being shifted slightly out of place, this is a visually impressive print given its age.

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era list
FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★
NOTES: Every frame is scratchy and dirty, and white horizontal lines start flashing every two seconds from the second reel and then appear more frequently until they turn to black. Playback is smooth until Hanna has his first conversation with McCauley, and from then on the print is affected by several cuts and jumpy frames, while a scene involving McCauley is damaged by white markings.

Max the Movie Guy added 1 item to Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era list
FORMAT: 35mm
CONDITION: ★★★★½
NOTES: Provided by the UCLA Film & Television Archive through the Robert Altman Collection; this meant that the full 114-minute cut was screened and a UK audience got to learn some more about Pappy and actually hear Popeye curse - this cut was passed with an A (proto-PG) certificate but scrapped in favour of the 97-minute cut that became Disney’s default version and ended up certified U. Feels just about equal to seeing it back in the day; dirt and vertical lines are prominent but not to a great extent, changeovers are perfect.
