Of course, I can't now remember the NAMES of any of 'em! Ask one of the guys at the FF to point you in the right direction. Sounds good Tom, hopefully they will have beer and mixers (for Judy) although a search shows there are some bars nearby also. Gonna be a good day to be a monster kid! It also says on the forums site that these are NEW 35 mm restorations? Sure hope its the NEW-NEW rstorations of Frank and Drac, but I'll be in monster kid heaven either way!

They seemed to be a strange hybrid of restored but not to the point of grain elimination, and the swan cue was original just cleaned up. Drac looked as sharp as Frank, I swear it! Never thought I would see it look that good! Very happy, Jim See my thoughts on the prints, and others here: http://monsterkidclassich...

Jul 20 12 10:10 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	An email I just got from a pal who works at Film Forum: << Just got word from Universal that new print of BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN is "absolutely spectacular." As were the new prints of FRANKENSTEIN and DRACULA - like nothing you've ever seen before. >>

I attended the (non-horror) double-bill of James Whale's Showboat and Gregory LaCava's My Man Godfrey on Friday. This was during the daytime (I was off from work), which isn't the best gauge for these things, but both screenings were about 3/4ths capacity, which was encouraging. I was thrilled to see a James Whale film that wasn't horror and I hadn't seen before, and *Showboat* is terrific (the print was a bit worn in spots, but perfectly watchable). Whale's love of the theater shines through the film, and the comedic scenes of the amateur actors playing melodrama to the rubes were hilarious. I'm on the fence about seeing Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein today (I like the movie, but I'm not sure I like it enough for a theatrical screening), but I will try my best to get a ticket for the Bride of Frankenstein/The Black Cat bill. And I've already seen Bride at Film Forum once before (paired with The Old Dark House). James

For those who have access to the Film Forum brochure schedule, are there any films there that might be considered "hidden treasures" that are worth the trip to NYC? Two Lane Black-Top on August 7th is a gem, but as Criterion has released it on DVD, I don't know if it qualifies as "hidden" any longer. Before the Criterion disc, though, it was not easy to see, even on home video. And it's paired with Steven Spielberg's Duel, another gem. You mentioned The Dark Mirror, and it's paired with Christmas Holiday, notable for being one of Deanna Durbin's few "adult" roles, with Gene Kelly, of all actors, as the baddie. I've read some good things about this one, but never seen it. On August 1st, there's Taking Off (Milos Forman's first American film, I think) and Puzzle of a Downfall Child (Jerry Schatzberg's first film). James

Anyone? Jim and Judy I'm fond of Noodle Bar on 26 Carmine St., about two blocks away from Film Forum. Reasonably priced Asian food, and I love the Bee Hong Goreng. It's often my go-to place for dinner before or after movie-going at FF. James

Jul 23 12 12:06 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I had the pleasure of attending today's screening of "A&C Meet Frankenstein" at the Film Forum. The audience was respectful (No cell phone complaints, etc.) and tuned in to all of Bud and Lou's bits and one-liners. ("You and forty million other guys" received a particularly enthusiastic response.) Nice to visit a theatre where everyone is of one like mind, just there to have fun. Too bad an A&C double bill could not have been scheduled, perhaps with "Hold That Ghost" or one of the other "Meet The Monsters" films. Please excuse the blasphemy, but W.C. Fields' "The Bank Dick" doesn't appear to have aged that well. Looking forward to "The Bride", "The Black Cat" and some of the Robert Siodmak films.
