Blue Demon

Very bad sleuthing, Steve. I never said I was a high school student.

すごいね！！　日本語がわかりますか？？ Ok since Guy is beginning to steam from under his collar and out his ears...My favourite super-8 book was one brought to me in 1984 or 85. It had a red cover and was my favourite book for years, but I can't remember the name. It was full of fantasy filmmaking info, it explained how several effects were done, mentioned that you can get away without fx like in "On the beach" or "THX 1136"....does anyone know what this book was? I'd love to buy a new copy. I remember a lot of the contents but not the title or authour.

How come the DVD is so barebones? Everyone would have loved a "making of doc"... Hideki

Well I did not agree with his points but it was nice seeing a divergence of opinion from my own. For the most part he really underestimated the SINGLE-8 format. A Fujica ZC1000 with a Zeiss 10-100 zoom would be simply amazing. I'm not a historian myself but I am a collector of Fujica Single-8 cameras with many in my collection. Hey some of them even work, ne? :lol: :lol: :lol: I hope santo with come back to both forums and continue to defy complacency as he always has.

I don't understand how Japanozoom can be seen as racist. Criticising a nation's technology in one area is not criticising their race, rather the direction they took with a certain type of product. One forum I participated in gave me a warning because I explained that Saban was a jew. The warning came in the form of "we noticed your comment about jews, another thoughtless post and you will be banned". I too unsubscribed but not before telling the board regulars that the place was being run by retards. There seems to be a witch-hunt against racism that spots it everywhere, and I admit I find this disturbing. I could see a whole South Park episode stemming from that incident but anyway...I understand santo's decision, it's our loss that people decided to give him crap about his choice of words. The guy really pushed Super-8 beyond the level of home movies it was designed for and his posts will be missed at least by those of us who can see the hare in the briar patch. Anyway my name is Hideki, so that should say my position on the "japanozoom" issue. has some weight.. またね～

What happened to Santo? He had some points early in the thread and now he's suddenly "unsibscribed"? Was this voluntarily? Or was he banned from here like on the unrealistic filmshooting/flamebait/slotcars.com forum?

I watched this video in the theatre yesterday. Can't say I was happy with it. And I have no idea where the money went, the whole thing was essentially a cartoon. I did NOT know it was a video or I would have waited for it to pop up on blockbastard. I knew something was wrong when I watched it and it looked fogged up and there was no real grain. 260 million? Where did the money go?

Not a problem, I'm just getting a bit worried that I might not be able to buy it in time.

As far as I know you do, but the best way to find out is to call them. 1-800-621-FILM. Discount is pretty good and delivery is surprisingly fast. About 10 bucks for E64T. Only in America...

I actually love the filmshooting/ebay/my-girlfriend-squeezed-out-another-monster/k40isdead/dwaynes-sucks-for-e64t/slotcars forum. I read this forum but I never post. I post often on the now defunct filmshooting/whowillmakeanewsuper8camera/singlelineNigelpost/Yalecensorship/slotcars forum. And again, I think Andreas has gone way too far, he just needed to upgrade the forum files, not shut it down completely. To answer your question, yes it was a bot/worm that defaced the forum. If you do a search for phpbb defacer you'll find quite a few such worms were created.

The problem with ordering from Wittner is that you will likely have great-grandchildren before you get a reply from them. I really think they went out of business and forgot to take down their website.

Hi, Robert! No, it's an exploitable bug in PhpBB that caused it. Awand did not bother to upgrade to the latest version of PhpBB so the filmshooting/nazibaiting/dutchpolitics/pervasiveparanoia/mexican-soap-opera/slotcars.com forum got hacked by a defacer worm. It searches for PhpBBs online and defaces them when it is a version lower than the current. I'm not sure why he didn't just get it right back up, all he needed was to get the latest upgrade and install. The forum was not really affected at the db level, just that index.php. It's still down...which is why I made this account here.

Hi Scot, thanks for the tip, I think that sounds about right. I'm thinking of getting the series 9 filters...what do you think of that selection? Mostly I like filming nature and the seaside. I'll be using Kodak 7245 and 7248 until I run out. You have any recommendation on filters? I'm starting on 16mm, abandoning Super 8 due to the death of K40 for that format. Thanks for any input from you guys.

The question being, would you really pay that much for an item from a user with 0 feedback?

Thanks for the link...I'm frustrated now that I paid $200 for a Bolex H16S thinking it was a Rex-3 based on the serial number listed on Tobin's site....sigh....Now I need to sell this useless white elephant and I doubt I'll get paid as much as I shelled out.
