Got to screen 'Steel: The Blood Of Us' 35mm print this eve (plus Q&A with director Joe Cornick and composer Ben Doherty). Interesting film, lovely folk, check it out. Now touring throughout the UK on 35mm at select sites with Q&As […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
A metal box concealing a 35mm print of 'Steel: The Blood Of Us' sits on a rewind bench in a projection booth. Beneath the bench are a number of empty film reelsA film can of 'Steel: The Blood Of Us' sits atop the metal box in which it was delivered in a brightly lit projection boothA view from inside the projection booth looking towards the projector and porthole as 'Steel: The Blood Of Us' 35mm print runs through a 35mm Prevost projector (thankfully, the somewhat precarious lace up path is out of sight to the left). Looking through the porthole (centre image) the film can be seen on screen, while a laptop and sound desk (on the right of the image) add some ambient light to the otherwise darkened booth

'It's a Jurassic Park print! I know this!' One of the earliest and greatest films I saw as a youngster on the big screen, and now an amazing opportunity to handle and project it 33 years later. Playing at Showroom Cinema Friday 28th to Sunday 30th August […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
A short sequence of 35mm frames from a classic '90s Jurassic Park print in which a clever girl, Lex (Ariana Richards) soon realises the computer in front of her (running an early 3D graphical user interface) is a Unix system. She knows this.Close up of a complete print of Jurassic Park on 35mm, ready for playback from a platter system. The print label reads "Jurassic Park / Flat / SR / 7 reels / pulsed" denoting the film title, projection ratio, sound type, reel number, and automation markers respectivelyClose up of a 35mm film can of an original Jurassic Park print from Rank Film Laboratories from over 30 years ago. The worn and faded label informs us this is a colour print with Dolby sound and has a copyright and distribution warning in small red text beneathA short sequence of 35mm frames showing much of the main cast gather around a giant steaming pile of dinosaur excrement that sits atop a grassy plain. From left to right surrounding the merde mound is: Grant (played by the late Sam Neil), Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum), a park ranger (uncredited?), and Ellie (Laura Dern) as they all look on with varying degrees of interest in the faecal profundity before them.

RE: dice.camp/@tabletopsentinel/1166866… Oh blimey, this is very sad news indeed. John was a huge influence on me, and anyone who played GW games. He was well known in the pubs in Nottingham in the 80s and 90s, too.

My role model is Daniel Stenberg. You've never heard of him. 
His code runs on 10 billion devices, including the one you're reading this post on.

He started building cURL in 1996. It handles data transfer on nearly every phone, console, smart TV, 47 car brands, and it was on the Mars helicopter.

He's also the person who's kept it going for nearly 30 years.

Twelve years ago, to the day, I sat in this pub with a pint, and scribbled nonsense. Some of you liked it, so twelve years on, I'm still at it. No cake or candles this year, I'm in the cinema viewing the new releases for tomorrow. Thank you all, you're why I do this.
