[Videolib] Friday fun question

So...  rather than doing a holiday display or anything expected like that, I'm 
trying to think of other options.  Ideas?  (BTW, I'll probably do something 
winter-themed once winter is actually here.)

I don't know if this has been done before, but this is only sort of
holiday themed, tangentially...

We all know of the librarian scene in Its a Wonderful Life where Mary
is doomed to be the librarian because of her spinsterhood since George
was never born.

How about movies with librarian archetypes.

I can think of Marianne the Librarian in Music Man.
Katherine Hepburn in Desk Set.

How about bizarre winter weather anomalies?

 

I have many pics from Snowtober of downed and iced over trees and
power lines from my backyard in CT!

 

On the opposite end of the scale-in 1982 Christmas Day in Buffalo was
the warmest on record-a whopping 64 degrees!  (the lowest temperatures
occurred 2 years earlier in 1980 when the mercury dipped to minus 10
degrees)

 

I remember seeing snow flurries in MAY when I worked in the Boston area
back in the late 80s but I can't find any record of it.

 

And I found this moldy oldie...

 

1816:The Year without Summer, from:
http://www.citysource.com/Seasons/snow.html 

Recent winter weather woes in the East can't compare to winter weather
that befell the area in June and July of 1816:

Connecticut experienced a rare summer blizzard.

Snow and sleet fell in Danville, Vermont.

Massachusetts had snow flurries.

An unseasonably frigid summer brought crop failures all over New
England. 

Savannah Georgia has a high temperature of only 46 degrees F on July 4.

Some speculated that Judgement day was near, Others attributed the
unusually cold summer across the country to the massive amounts of dust
and ash spewed into the atmosphere by the eruption of the Tambora
volcano in Java the previous year.

Oh, that would be interesting!  Don't forget about Oklahoma's thunderquake 
(with thanks to Jim Cantore) in October.  It wasn't exactly winter, but it sure 
felt a lot like a turducken:  It's pouring down rain, with occasional hail and 
reports of tornados, and then suddenly the whole house was shaking.  Or 
Tropical Storm Erin a few years ago, that strengthened briefly to near 
hurricane force over the middle of Oklahoma.  We have such fun weather here.

[Videolib] Long time listener, first time caller... PPR advice, please?

2011-12-02 Thread Maloy, Vicky
I've read many of the posts asking this list about PPR for films, and today is 
the first time that it has come up for me!  (I'm so proud!) This seems like it 
should be an easy question to answer, but I'd like to run it by the list first 
if you don't mind.  

The for-profit college in town wants to find PPR for Woody Allen's Midnight in 
Paris.  They can't find it, so they call the neighboring institution (which is 
how I get the question).

I look up Midnight in Paris.  Find from the Variety review that is distributed 
by Sony Pictures Classics.   Sony = Swank, so I head over to the Swank website 
and search for Midnight in Paris. I don't find it listed, but I have a gut 
feeling that this is because it isn't listed to distribute until the 20th this 
month.   I think at this point I'm going to recommend that they contact Swank 
(http://www.swank.com/contact.html) for PPR.  


Is this the way a PPR hunt should be done?  I was unsure if PPR was even 
needed, but since it's a For Profit college, I suppose different rules apply.

Thanks for any feedback!
Vicky

 the Swank website and search for Midnight in Paris. I don't find it listed,

 that they contact Swank (http://www.swank.com/contact.html) for PPR.

 apply.

Sorry all, let me say I wondered about the rights being needed because this was 
to be shown in a regularly scheduled class.  Not a regular public showing, 
but at a for-profit institution life gets complicated.

The list Gary posted is terrific.

One of my favorites is Storm Center with Bette Davis as the public library
librarian who refuses to remove a book on communism from the collection.
Never released on commercial DVD, but available as a MOD DVD from
http://www.screenarchives.com/

I'm also fond of the exchange with James Caan in Rollerball:

So this is not really a library, and you're not really a librarian.
Oh, no, sir.  I'm only a clerk.
