Another “project” I have in mind for Titanic is making a good DVD transfer of the original “Academy Award” screener of the film that hit the bootleg circuits back in 1997. I remember Titanic very well because it was the first “bootleg” movie I ever watched. I was in high school at the time, and we went on a school trip to NYC. You could buy a VHS filmed with a camcorder off the streets for $20 on VHS. The quality was good, but then ET and others started reporting about the copies from the Academy screener. I never found one of those at the time, but years later bought two original academy screener sets off eBay. They’re protected by macrovision though, so I can’t transfer them using my DVD recorder.
