Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 01-08-2001 09:17 AM                     According to the IMDB (http://us.imdb.com), the 1969 release was rated X and it was edited and re-released in 1981 with an R rating. Not much other useful info, tho.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 01-08-2001 09:41 AM                    If you can find it here's one you need to get. "Parasite" it was a horror film that came out in 1982. It had some realy wild 3D in it. Plot wise the movie was stupid. But then it was the 3D not the plot that got the people in the theater. It was also Demi Moore's first feature film. As for the stewardesses it was cut to an R rating in 81 and re-released during the return of 3D. It just barely made an R. Frankenstien was also an X cut to an R rating. As far as i'm aware of Starchaser was the last nationaly released polarized 3D film in our area. I know it was the last one I ran on reel to reel projectors.  |  IP: Logged Barry Hans Film Handler Posts: 92 From: Minneapolis, MN, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 01-08-2001 02:37 PM                        We set up and ran 3-D "Kiss Me Kate last month. I was given a lot of information on those mysterious Selsyns by a number of folks here on Film- Tech. Thank you all! Our 1st show started on time and within minutes one belt creeped off a timing pully and we had to re- thread/ re- start the feature. I do not have any flanged pulleys on the 3-D pulley setup and I did get some odd vibration out of one machine when the 3- D was in use. All in all it was a fun time. Patrons enjoyed it, coming out and thanking us! We have several other tittles booked up for spring ( I think there is a package of tittles floating around at present ). I also installed a new silver screen for the 3-D and it is an awfully bright image. I had to defocus the bulbs do to too much light!  |  IP: Logged Edwin Graf Diemer Film Handler Posts: 47 From: Red Bank, NJ, USA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 01-08-2001 04:46 PM                     John-Wish I could see "Kate" at your theater! I saw one of the new prints at Film Forum in NYC, and it looks just stunning-color you could eat with a spoon! The stereo is fine too-you're in for a treat!  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 01-08-2001 04:58 PM                     There MIGHT be a print of CHARGE AT FEATHER RIVER out there (2-strip). Film Forum in NYC shows a number of 3-D films, and does enough business to get new prints. They ran a new print of MISS SADIE THOMPSON around Christmas time this year, with PARDON MY BACKFIRE by the wonderful 3-stooges. You haven't truly seen the wtooges until you've seen them in 3-D. EVERYTHING comes out of the screen. There is one spot where the audiences would literally jump out of their seats. The Stooges shorts are especially good before a more subtle 3-d film like DIAL M. It fulfills the audience's wish for 3-d tricks. Twin-strip 3-D is definitely the best system...the over/under and left/right are just too dim. BTW, my personal vote for greatest 3-D effect ever is the paddle ball guy in HOUSE OF WAX, followed by the floating tray in THE BUBBLE.
