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

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★ NOTES: Arrived as late as to miss a logo or two, which is weird considering how I usually remember exactly what the start time of every film I see is. A pretty faded print but not too dusty. It does take a couple of shots of damage though, and the worst hit changeover occurs during the ‘GRATUITOUS SEX SCENE’.

The climactic battle shows Scar rising from the grave (somehow) and ready to fight Kovu, all while an alien invasion is occurring. Kovu and Simba take to a random parking lot to take Scar down once and for all, and the aliens blast them with superlion strength, propping them up on two legs and granting them large, muscular yet rounded forms, much like how the animals transform in King-Size Canary. It’s a badass fight scene while it lasts, but in a matter of seconds Kovu is struck and killed by the same aliens that offered him his powers. Not only does the buff energy fly out of his body and into the UFO but that energy happened to replace his innards as well, leaving him as a boneless husk, and his dying face is much doofier and more cartoonish than this scene calls for. When the energy has completely dissipated, his eyes, nose and lower lip are vaporised by the aliens and through a POV shot from the bottom of the river we see the lion-skin rug that was once Kovu float down into the water, but a passing object passes through and transitions Kovu’s muzzle-only face back to his dying cartoon face as he lands. Simba, still bipedal and cartoonishly muscular, cries over Kovu’s lifeless, flat, empty, goofy-looking corpse. I didn’t get to see if Scar won or not.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★½ NOTES: Could have been a dye transfer print given the amount of blues that bleed through the whites. Surprisingly few frames lost for such a visibly and audibly battered print. DATE: May 28th 2024 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★ NOTES: Original release print, mostly presented half in perfect focus and not without several cuts or damage – most of all during Muffley’s first call with Kissov – but still in impressive quality. Sadly but ironically, the print cut out as Major Kong was trying to fix the bomb doors and the remainder of print flew off and spilled onto the floor, halting the performance with eight minutes left. When the print was fixed and screened again half a year later, the final reel was in healthy running condition, although you could tell from which frames were out of focus where something may have gone wrong.

SCREENING: 35mm DATE: May 27th | November 28th CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End WITH: An original release print that on the first run I saw spilled onto the floor with eight minutes to spare, and at a very inconvenient (but also very ironic) place to crash. Especially annoying considering the other screenings weren’t timed to my liking. Luckily, they did a great job at getting it fixed to run again six months later, and thus the print ran all the way to the shocking end.
