not as BS as the second yellow for "wasting time" (ONE SECOND!!!)
anyhoo, saw 35mm prints today of QUADROPHENIA and TOMMY - Quad was a rough print, but still a pleasure to see projected. Despite lots of trying, the only print in the world that could be found was in a private collection in Australia - some colour fading/magenta push, but not horrific.
TOMMY was an archive print, and looked and sounded FABULOUS. Just ridiculously amazing, like a brand new film, but with beautifully intact grain, rich colours, and lavish production. The BLU is a treat (save for the utter lack of compelling extras, easily found on the R2 DVD), but to see the film projected on celluloid with the Quintaphonic soundtrack was rockin'
