Did the YouTube guy happen to have the “Blue Background” GCC trailer, and if so, did anyone grab it? As cool as the psychedelic background is, it’s the blue background that I remember, so I’d love to see it again. Thanks!

The Ogden is alive and well as a concert venue (Billy Idol is playing there tonight, August 9, 2006). It was a great movie theatre; I saw more midnight showings there of “Rocky Horror” than I care to remember back in 1985-1987. It’s a shame that it no longer shows movies, but I’m happy that the old building is being put to good use.

Oops! Of course it was a BLUE background that I remember, not black.

I can’t even begin to thank everyone for tracking down the GCC projector clip. That 27-second slice of heaven was such a huge part of my childhood: the funky little jazz theme meant that, within seconds I was about to be transported into the world of James Bond, the Planet of the Apes, or a Disney film. WOW!

Now, not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but does anyone have the “black background” version? That’s the one I truly remember.

Once again, many, many thanks for getting something that I thought I’d never see again.
