Yes, my Marathon flag is at half-mast today. And, if you read Bruce's announcement, I think his might be as well.
Can you call yourself a Science Siction FILM Marathon if you don't show film?
But, as I noted in a post in another thread:
viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1553#p13220"...it is best to look at the bright side. It does mean that your "wish list" film title is more likely to be available to show. Witness, last year's Ohio showing of THE GREEN SLIME. A film which Bruce and I searched for a 35mm print of for decades. It's half of what it could have looked like with a pristine 35mm print - but, at least it was shown."
Of course, I wrote that not knowing that there won't be ANY 35mm film being shown at all.
I also grieve for the 30+ year collection of celluloid goodies Bruce has painstakingly culled together. Anybody want to volunteer to transfer those thousands of hours to digital.............?
