Dear Gary,
It wasn't until early this morning that it hit me
and then all the analogies began streaming in.
Your timing for retirement does comes at the
end of an era/beginning of a new one. The main
analogy is that for people like you and I, who
grew up during the analog era, the last 15-20

too hidden in this case. The back cover claims that a portion of the
sales of each book will be donated to the Wikimedia Foundation, for
all that's worth.
Someone should be the first to review it on Amazon, go on Jessica, do it!

Gary and Jessica:
Here's a question for you: In a hypothetical U.S. situation where an
institution has, say, Hollywood: A Celebration of the American
Silent Film on laserdisc, must they look for and purchase a used set
on VHS, since this will likely never be released in a digital format,
I would distinguish the production of moving images on 16mm from the
distribution/ dissemination of those films. Even our students who
still make 16mm films have them subsequently telecineed for the
practicality of having them seen. It's clear that very few
institutions still purchase 16mm.
Yes indeed, it means hurricane in other slavic languages as well. I
wonder what the other films were.

The Bois D'arcy archival restoration dates from 1986. The VHS has
excellent visuals and sound (for a VHS). The NTSC copy I have came
from a PD distributor. The film is indeed very long but then again

My situation is pretty much the same as Marilyn's in terms of budget
and our Criterion / Audio-Cine licenses. I remember being offered a
job in the mid 1990s at a U.S. university where the video
acquisitions budget was over $100,000/year. I wonder what it is today...

Hi Debra,
All the Blu-ray players I've ever worked with have played DVDs. Our
viewing stations are equipped with Oppo multi-region Blu-ray players
that play all Blu-rays and all DVDs.

I am trying to find the title to a film that begins with the camera

Gary,
I agree with your assessment of the streaming vs. Blu-ray argument,
particularly when it has to do with the question of non-commercial
vs. academic use. If the user is simply concerned with content

Thank you Gary for a pleasant take-my-mind-off work assignment.
Here are some titles that come to mind:
The under-rated Janis Carter in Framed (1947) but particularly Night
Editor (1946): you don't get more cold-blooded fatale than this. (out on DVD)
Polly Moran and Marie Dressler in Politics
