Before his major Hollywood comeback, Spain was producing their own serialised Indiana Jones films starring Ford once a year for IMAX. We saw each one and the same IMAX screen every year, and the fourth one, which took place in a strangely modern setting similar to Blackfen, was the first one screened in 3D. The opening sequence was screened in 2D, in fuzzier quality than 2K Xenon, but the 3D portion was in pristine single laser quality. We had to walk out of this one to browse the Bluewater-esque shopping centre when he was about to enter a wrestling ring and missed the closing 20 minutes before the last two minutes of credits.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★ NOTES: Presented as part of the BFI’s ‘100 Years of Disney’ season, preceded by a DCP screening of Lifted (which I had already first seen on the big screen this year, what are the odds?). Original release Technovision print that opens with the original two-minute overture, plenty of cuts and two different changeover cue marks so it’s not easy to tell how many reels there are exactly, but this is about as faded and as low on dust as the print of Fantasia, and the monaural optical soundtrack is terrific.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★★ NOTES: Plenty of dust throughout and a lot of wear and the beginning and end of each reel, yet the picture is some of the clearest I’ve ever seen at this cinema. Although this could have been a reprint given that it has undergone several runs in America the past five years, I wouldn’t be surprised given what I’ve learned about film preservation if it was actually an original print that got lucky.

This version of the Barbie movie is a more generic toy story, seeing Barbie and Ken – still played by Robbie and Gosling respectively – as real people playing dolls but actually doll-sized, running around a department store in search of the perfect owner. Along the way they stumble into the worlds of other toys, like a miniature train set and a Halloween display, often transforming into those styles of toys so they can blend in.

FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★ NOTES: Heavily worn print donated to the National Archive in 1992 and uncovered as the BFI’s monthly Projecting the Archive screening, preceded by a ★★★★, commercial-split-laden print of ‘The Man Who Sold Hope’, an episode of the Danzigers’ Man from Interpol that was donated by United International Pictures in 1989. Introduced by curator Josephine Botting with some fun facts about the Danzigers’ quality-over-quantity approach. DATE: July 11th 2023 CINEMA: BFI LOCATION: Southbank

The movie was about the PAW Patrol in a live-action living room trying to get back inside the TV, and taking three lucky children along with them. I sat in the corner away from all the families, but at one point, a half-naked, beer-chugging, middle-aged man in a Speedo came up and told me that I need to give up my seat and move to one of the huge, comfy D-BOX seats, none of which were occupied. A little boy and his grandmother took those corner seats while I asked the ushers about that Speedo man and then sat down. Soon enough, the D-BOX experience took full effect, as this PAW Patrol movie had a horror scene. The auditorium was shrouded in fog as ghouls, wolves, vampires and demons flew out the screen in eye-popping 3D, prompting everyone but me to hurry outside screaming. When the nightmare was over and the doggies had vanquished the evil, everyone crept back into the cinema, most of them loving what just happened. Also in my dream, a baby turned out to be a Danny DeVito voiced Baby Herman type who also smoked a cigar and my mother (who I actually love very much) was punched twice in the chest for rapping the ‘n’ word.
