    Can't blame me for that, should have kept it to hand.

    I have a GIF image reply that would be perfect for this. It's very haughty and sassy. But it also loses something without the direct image posting. So...in lieu of any ability to articulate its vibe...


    ...


    ...I'll just bid you adieu. Hmph.

    Describe it frame by frame. We can appreciate it the way people appreciate Harry Greb.

    Thank you. I daresay, in a pithy fifteen words, it's my finest work ever in Classic. :lol:

    It was delightful, you showing up when you did. You could/should stop by more often.

    I love the extraordinary history of color movies and color photography. There is great pre WW I Autochrome coverage of prewar Europe and then of WW I itself.

    The filmed in color "perfect" hook SRR used to blow over happens to supply a great angle. The televised angle supplies a great opportunity to study and learn from. What a bomb!

    Would you happen to know what the earliest color film of a boxing match is?

    I'm doing my best not to shut the thread guys, but you all really, really want to discuss Steve rather than the footage.

    I'll say it again one more time: this thread is not for saying how much you dislike Steve Compton: last time i'm going to say it though. Discuss the footage. If you want to discuss Steve Compton try discussing him on Boxing Scene or Boxrec.

    @GlaukosTheHammer you've made multiple posts stating how awful this place is and how much you hate it. Maybe you should go to one of these other forums permanently? You're welcome to stay but you can't stay and repeatedly say how awful this place is and how awful the people here are. It's no different to a bar - if you go to a bar and wander round telling other customers what idiots they are, you soon won't be welcome in the bar. Just think of it that way.

    Literally not a single person has mentioned his name since you last post at the very top of this page. Are you drunk? :lol:

    And GlaukostheHammer hasn't even posted to this thread! Talk about obsessions!

    I mean I guess it's possible GTH made some comments further up and McGrain hard-deleted them before making his post, but then - why not address it privately with GTH in a pm instead of making this weird public callout with apparently no context?
