@alyx

Huh. They look like extras for the robots in #Interstellar

@rey@toot.cat @alyx@frogs.lgbt @ajroach42@retro.social @vfrmedia@social.tchncs.de you don't need a license for a forklift, just $100 and a driver at the nearest soda bottling plant who'd like a free long lunch across town <img class="not-responsive emoji" src="https://fedi.reclaim.technology/emoji/stolen/fingerguns-0dLvNiz7X.png" title=":fingerguns:" />

@ajroach42 @djsundog @alyx @vfrmedia @rey this is like watching people fall in love on discord, but more usefully to humanity

@su_liam @alyx
My wife was smart enough to go back in time, and convince her younger self to never marry me in the first place.

[su_liam@mas.to]

@brouhaha @alyx My wife was a smart woman, but apparently I put all my points into charisma. Shocking to anybody who knows me.

[su_liam@mas.to]

@brouhaha @alyx Is a smart woman…

[timbosteron@mastodon.social]

@alyx LTT seems to be always interested in stuff like this. They recently worked with some restoration of old HD-VHS.
@ linustech on x, insta, fb (sadly not here)

[philvia@mastodon.social]

@alyx maybe something for @CINEMATEK international film archive conservation institution based in Brussels/Belgium -> Contact/Email: secretariat@CINEMATEK.be

[panda@pandas.social]

@alyx

@internetarchive maybe?

[orcacommander@meow.social]

@alyx good lord those are large

[mediaarchaeologylab@post.lurk.org]

@Crazypedia @alyx @internetarchive we don't... but if they are still available we can ping the cinema studies program here on campus...

[alyx@frogs.lgbt]

I've gone through and (I think) emailed everyone back

I'll be a few weeks before we have a solid course of action on these, but I'll try to keep everyone posted

[mehdi_benadel@mastodon.balamb.fr]

@alyx Can you fax them to Lyon, France ?

[gloriouscow@oldbytes.space]

@alyx do they use light pens

[anachronistjohn@zia.io]

@alyx@frogs.lgbt I need to use one, but I don't have space for one.

Perhaps if someone has a home, I can help arrange transport, in exchange for scanning some film.

[cbleslie@hachyderm.io]

@alyx this is fucking crazy. This is the start of ording random film reels on eBay.
