So, I did a thing today...FB/Film Festival friend Skizz Cyzyk is responsible, posting over a week ago a photo of loads of 8mm/Super8mm film reels, and how he did it using a machine that he rented for 3 weeks (said machine positioned behind the Wall O' Reels) - a 8mm/Super8mm film digitizer!

it while it lasts - I've made promises to keep churning out content before,
only to have huge gaps in the timeline. Which is better than just leaving an
abandoned site with the last entry in the early 2010s, I guess.

I was gifted with a Blu-ray set of JOHNNY QUEST for
