Chinese Hercules Has Arrived! And Filming in June.

After waiting since winning the auction on Easter, I received my 16mm film print of Chinese Hercules! Since this print is thirty-nine years old, it has it's wear and it shows as the opening credits are gone as well as the first few moments of the protagonist training before his fiancee walks in. There's even a few splices and some dirt on the print that needs cleaned off.

The second reel about gave me a damn heart attack as there's no leader film to protect the film. The film is openly exposed and on top of that, they taped the film down and the tape is on actual celluloid. This needs to be fixed. However, leader film gets pricey for just 1,000 ft of it. Plus, I'll need splicing tape to fix it up. All this to preserve a movie.

It gave me vivid flashbacks of when I showed my Super 8mm film print of Nosferatu to Abby and the film snapped while we were on the third reel and I had to perform an operation on that. That was quite scary. Luckily, the editing bay I have had a compartment for both 8mm and Super 8mm splicing tape.

I picked up Django Unchained at Target. It's got a nice Steelbook case to it. I look forward to seeing it again. I remember seeing it for the second time, the day right after I premiered Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. And speaking of filmmaking, I'll be cutting a promo intro for the new website. I'm gearing up to film in June. July, if we can fit it, Ghosts of Mansfield. Then, in August, Traumatic Possession 3D: Apocalypse!

Final note, I know you're reading this. Listen, because good old Johnny has some words to say:
