I had a wonderful little zoom meeting/interview with Bob Furmanek of 3-D Film Archive the other day, unfortunately, it was my FIRST self hosted zoom meeting that I wanted to record and I did NOT set the settings on my phone correctly and it didn’t save, which is a bummer because I think it was a pretty excellent interview.
Back-to-back events with the PARALLAX-SHIFT Stereo Club! Join us on June 21 in Midtown Manhattan for a special 3D PARTY FOR NERDDDS celebration for International Stereoscopy Day and again at the Dolby Theatre on June 24th for a one night only screening of ROBOT MONSTER in 3-D!!
I’ll certainly get some interview time with him at the premiere and will post that after we speak again, but in the meantime-
Get your tickets for the 1 night only screening of ROBOT MONSTER in 3-D HERE, they are only $15 and it is a SUPER rare occasion to view this masterpiece, which I personally believe is one of the best-worst movies of all time on the big screen and tickets are almost sold out!
Bob Furmanek will be hosting in person,with some Q&A opportunities and promised there will be bunch of special surprises, I can’t wait 🙂
If of course, you are NOT in NYC, then visit the 3-D Film Archive website to purchase your own copy on 3D Blu Ray to watch at home.
This is most certainly going to be added to my 3D Blu Ray library, but they have TONS of titles to choose from (over 30) and their catalog features a variety of digitally remastered and re-stereoed titles that bring these gems of 3D cinema history and cultural heritage back to their original intended glory (and in most cases, event BETTER)
I’ve been a fan ever since Robot Monster was on MST3K as one of the flicks they showed in the background… In fact I MIGHT have to wear my MST3K glasses ATOP my polarized specs at the theatre so I can confidently crack wise at the screen full force. A friend on instagram commented that he just received his pre order copy in the mail the other day, but would love to see it in a group JUST for the jokes and I tend to agree.
This is going to be a 3-D-TASTIC afternoon and if you’re in NYC, come say hi to Sam & I, we are certainly going to be there 👌👌👌
TAKEN FROM THE ROBOT MONSTER 3D TICKET SALE PAGE:
yourselves, and I promise you… will see ROBOT MONSTER in 3-D restored to a brilliance you’ve never seen before!” – Ro-Man
“Our team is VERY proud of this 70th anniversary restoration.” – Bob Furmanek, CEO: 3-D Film Archive
What more can be said about the iconic ROBOT MONSTER? Joe Dante once commented, “There’s never been a picture like it.”
Indeed, the film truly speaks for itself but have you ever really seen it? Unless you were one of the select few who saw the very limited 3-D release theatrically in 1953, you have not experienced this stereoscopic gem in all of its magnificent polarized 3-D glory.
UNTIL NOW!!!
Here is your opportunity to finally see this incredible cult classic as director Phil Tucker intended – in the miracle of Tru-Stereo Three Dimension. AND… it will be 70 years to the day when it originally premiered in Los Angeles in 1953.
This special showing is not just a celebration of ROBOT MONSTER on its 70th anniversary. It’s also a celebration of its stunning new restoration, and its imminent release on 3-D Blu-Ray and DVD from BayView Entertainment. You can pre-order it now at www.bayviewentertainment.com/robot-monster
All this, plus you’ll be viewing it on a big screen, surrounded by fellow Ro-fans! You can’t beat that.
