Consequences

Somehow, I've let an entire month go by without blogging a single thing.  Which is actually not so surprising, I've been a bit lax lately with the blogging which I am going to chalk up to moving in the past few weeks and being busy at work.  A fun thing that I did this week was to see Raiders of the Lost Ark on the big screen (for the first time ever).  I was shocked to see both how few people were there and the number of people who bought children under 10.  It has been a while since I have seen that movie, but it seems definitely too violent for a kid of 6 or 7 (the face melting and head exploding is a bit much for me and I'm an adult).  One consequence of seeing some many older movies on the big screen is that I am much more observant of the both the condition of the print and the transition of one reel to the next.  The print was Raiders of the Lost Ark I saw was pristine (barely any scratches on the first few frames which sometime get dirty and scratched because it is exposed to the outside).  Now if only the reels of Auntie Mame and Shop Around the Corner were in a good of shape!
