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.

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.
