Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era (501 movies items)"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: The special edition. Very worn, with several cuts and green lines. The scene in which the rat is drowned to test the breathing fluid, cut down to appease the RSPCA, was clearly spliced in by the censors from a print of the theatrical cut to save the editors the trouble of having to cut around the human face shots again for this edition.

Movies the giraffe watched in 2021: September (46 movies items)"First viewing - Sept. 25th Back when The Abyss came out I didn't care much about it. The trailers failed to inspire me to see it, and my dad never bothered to take me to see it and thus it went unseen. I generally like James Cameron's films, however, so I figured now maybe I'd finally give it a shot. And it's a decent enough film. It's entertaining on the surface, but not very deep in my opinion. I liked the characters well enough but didn't love any of them, and thus never got deeply attached "
