He had a completely unique gage for what makes a movie good. He would ask friends for suggestions & once asked me to select a film to accompany another (which escapes my memory, maybe Witchfinder General?). I gave him a list but warned him that a film on the list is offensive and boring for most people, with it's intense gore munching sequences and extremely slow zombies. He said boring = awesome in so many words and picked that film. It was Bianchi's Burial Ground. Dylan was so awesome.sheaehshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11859697187200378034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050375522842313946.post-11868753262947680652011-12-30T14:14:09.159-08:002011-12-30T14:14:09.159-08:00Back when I worked at the U.C.

The guy and his wife had made a theater in his basement in Alameda, and he projected a beautiful print with good sound. That's when we learned about this whole underground lending library network of 16 & 35mm prints that these home theater guys would pass around. There were only 4 of us, and it was something special I've never forgotten.Gabrielle Gamboahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788457065920307883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050375522842313946.post-31705726445425400432011-12-30T12:35:54.327-08:002011-12-30T12:35:54.327-08:00I got to one of his screenings at the Bad Apple.

Coincidentally, that movie was on TCM this morning and I was just watching it and remembering how much Dylan loved that movie. <br /><br />Similarly, my wife and I do backyard movie screenings in the summer Jeff. You should join us sometime.tom Neelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180910435475086509noreply@blogger.com
