Has anyone mentioned BARRY LYNDON yet?

We’ve often described this as “…the best film you’ve never heard of.”

Another satisfied Arc Browser user.

It will be interesting to know if the cables for these things will be stolen for their copper or other metals on a regular basis.

Cake, sure… But that’s gotta sting on arrival?

Nifty!

Yeah, and the mop & bucket in the corner of one of the photos… I hope they had fun with that story! Interesting that it was written by a woman reporter.

No, you definitely were NOT the target audience–but I was. That’s why I enjoyed it so much… 😏

😜

I rarely missed an episode of their shows over the years. If they both liked a film, I almost always did as well. I much preferred Rogers’s opinions–and personality. Gene always struck me as being kind of a mean grump.

I didn’t take a lot of pictures, but here’s a short vid showing some of the restoration: https://youtu.be/xYCuATQ_2DY

Laugh, grimace, or down vote if you must, but I keep one handy and it works wonders. Clog-free in '23!

Beautiful!

Possibly my favorite film, full-stop, I’ve watched it probably 50-ish times. I was a little trepidatious about watching this fan edit. It was an odd experience–but in a good way: New, but at the same time, very familiar…

it’s very professionally done–if you were seeing the film for the first time, nothing would feel ‘artificial’ or tacked-on.

That’s oddly about the time I started to become disenchanted with most contemporary cinema. Both parents worked in the Industry, dad was a voting member of the Academy for many years. The Oscars were–no exaggeration–the Holiest night on our family calendar. I even got to attend in person once. (The one where Benigni climbed up on the furniture–'99.)

Then THE ARTIST won best picture (2011). 🤦‍♂️

I stopped watching the Oscars completely about 5 years ago. The only enthusiasm I can muster anymore is new films by old masters (PTA, Scorsese, Tarantino, etc.)
