Wow! This labor of love has taken you almost a full year! Your Project Notes start on August 15, 2008 when you received the first print. Like everyone else, I'm absolutely stoked to see this! I'm late to the game of contributing my opinion to this thread, but I'm glad you chose the curved borders. And the dodgier the better! Yeah, I want the transfer to be as full of detail as possible, replicating the projected film image, but those filmic imperfections and flaws should be retained. Reel-change burns, audio thumps after splices, emulsion scratches, etc. re-create the experience of seeing the film back in the day before the theaters were equipped with Dolby surround sound and fancier projectors. Puggo Grande can't possibly be as dodgy as the ravaged print I saw in 1978 at a small town second-run theater. That poor tortured thing was scratched and spliced worse than any movie I've ever seen (it broke twice during the showing) and the theater had medieval wood-backed seats. The fire-marshal would have shut the place down if he'd seen the overcrowded standing-in-the-aisles throng squeezed into that hardtop that night. But it was pure heaven for a 15-year-old boy like me at the time! Thanks Puggo! Having this to look forward to has taken the sting off of getting outbid on the super-8 Durann print that sold on eBay a couple of weeks ago... (it went for $760.00 in case anyone missed it)
