does any one know if the edition with the 70mm neg have been bought up?

did they print a limited number of the books? i'm worried this is a limited edition print, and i'm gonna miss the boat.

so how many are in the first pressing of the book? and what frames did u get? also, can u tell me in the (perfect) metric system the dimensions of the book wide open? also the weight if u can. i could convert the specs from what amazon says but that will kill the impact. thanks.

i'm gonna get this.

Not so lucky in that department, not that I'm complaining, it's a graphic, I know of guys who got frames from the disconnection of HAL and from HAL himself, those lucky bastards.  :yabbse-angry:

I'm not sure if I can help you there, I had something in the house but apparently doesn't work right now, I'll check later.

i am using this book as further motivation to find a job in new york.  when, (if) i can get a job in my field i will reward myself with the Eraserhead (& Shorts) DVD's and this book.  let's hope this happens soon.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

a quick sidetrack - has anyone had problems with their eraserhead dvd? ive watched mine only three times and its already disintegrating - can't watch it anymore - i get digital fragments all over the screen - maybe these dvds were not authored correctly.

anyone else experience these technical difficulties?

Pubrick

how are neg. frames contained - are they in a negative holder that is seperate from the book?  

id probably mount and frame the neg if i had one of these sweet little guys - shit i gotta get this.

also is it actual work print neg or a interpositive release print neg?

Quote from: flagpolespecialthe frames are held in a plastic sleeve that is stuck onto one the first pages of the book.

i don't know much about film. but i think, i'm guessing, it's a interpositive release print neg. i really don't know the difference. sorry. maybe you could explain the difference and i could tell you which it is.

the best way to determine is seeing if the image is in a positive color space or negative color space.

has anyone listened to the audio interview yet?

its really such a joy to hear such an in depth and casual conversation with him.

before this I think I had heard no more than 30 seconds of audio from kubrick.

Damn, that really sucks! Where did you order it?

If it wasn't through amazon you should try that, I had no problem at all with it.
