This is what I posted in the yahoo group.
Where to start... Remember,the Imaginasian is screening the two films
in 35mm at 7, and Zanuck's receiving an award across the street in a
nightclub at 6:45... I get to Imaginasian early and see the last 45
mins of Omegaman, and they say anyone who saw Omegaman can go to the
club and see Linda accept the award for Zanuck for free (Admission for
that event was $15, remember.) Well Linda is there at 7, she doesn't go
into the velvet rope area, she's just hanging out there. Other awards
are also handed out, open bar & food, Linda doesn't get introduced
until 8. (After a film clip homage to Heston, which plays the final
scene spoiler to apes, go figure) She looks great in a black form
fitting dress, and she's prepared a nice tribute to both Heston &
Zanuck, but the audience is restless because of everything running
late, at one point the mediator interrupts her, and says he wanted to
hear what it was like working with Heston, as opposed to the story she
was in the middle of, and then some moron plays some music to rush her
off the stage. The mediator tells her to continue, but he does cut her
short, then he introduces Buck Kartalian, who is funny, but they're
rushing him off the stage. Buck tells him to hold on, he has another
anecdote to tell. They finish up, then we are told we have our choice
to stay and watch the blu ray there, or go across the street and see
both in 35mm, introduced by Linda & Ted Post. I rush across the street,
Planet started at 7 instead of waiting like we were told would happen.
There were only a handful of people there, the print was dark & washed
out, only eight people stayed for Beneath, the print I'm assuming was
the same as last year's, only it was dark & not as sharp...and no into
in between by Harrison... I don't think she introduced the films at 7 ,
unless she did it really quickly and rushed over to the club, maybe
someone else can fill you in as far as that goes.
