That brings up another thing ...
There used to be a theater around here that would play those films. It's
gone.
There's still one over in Durham that does a couple of "film festivals"
every year which might include this film, but you can't just buy a
ticket to see the one film in the festival you might want to watch, you
have to buy a package for the whole thing and the prices are
outrageously inflated.
I mean "gold circle" seats for a Rolling Stones tour inflated!
Unless it gets posted to YouTube or I happen to see the DVD at the
checkout one night when I'm buying groceries, I'm not going to see that
"film".

I imagine that there is *a lot* of film being put in freezers by some
people in Hollywood (which would be sort of artificially inflating the
demand seen right now), but yeah - the writing is on the wall. If you
haven't yet seen the documentary "Side by Side" I highly recommend it.

There's a bit of panic going around the web as Kodak has announced
they're going to cease manufacture of acetate film base. They're not
stopping FILM production, they're just no longer manufacturing their
own acetate to make it with.
That's kind of ironic, because I thought Kodak had stopped making film a
year or so back.
They stopped production of all slide film about a year and a half ago.
Now it's just B&W negative and color negative film. The motion picture
industry is all that's keeping the production lines running enough to
be profitable now. When movies go all digital that'll probably be the
end for film.
