2007 Film Log
*8mm/16mm/35mm/70mm denotes that what I saw was a film print.
*DP denotes that what I saw was a Digital Projection in a theatre, either because the film doesn’t exist on celluloid, or the theatre where I saw it is run by incompetent penny pinchers.
*3D denotes that I saw it in 3D, obvi.
*All others were either from DVDs, downloads, or television.
*Only films that are at least 40 minutes long (the Academy’s minimum for a feature film) are logged.
*A grade of “Inc.” denotes that I don’t think that this screening was an accurate enough presentation of the film for me to make a value judgment, either because their weren’t English subtitles for a foreign language film, or the projector broke/sound cut out/the print burned, or an ass in the theatre distracted me with too much talking/popcorn eating, or, like the incident with 2001: A Space Odyssey at the Coolidge Corner Theatre in Brookline, MA, the reels are shown out of order.
*Regarding W/Os, I almost always finish what I start, and what I don’t, I don’t log.
*NEW FOR 2012: a ‘+’ at the beginning of a line means that this is a repeat viewing.
