DVD Transfer Diary
Catchup issue:

Sam Neill stuff: Fever (really bad HBO movie that's one of my guilty pleasures; co-stars are Armand Assante and Marcia Gay Hardin; very sleazy movie—features Joe Spano, formerly sweet Henry Goldblume on Hill Street Blues as a sadistic convict called the Junkman) and Enigma (with Martin Sheen), an interview Neill did for PBS after doing Reilly: Ace of Spies, a couple of interviews he did for The Piano. I'm copying some Jurassic Park specials now, and also have Making of Memoirs of an Invisible Man, one of my favorite Neill co-star roles.

International Velvet (unfortunately cut a few minutes for commercials); I'll probably put Mary White along with it (sort of a "strong female character who rides horses" disk).

Disney stuff: Dateline: Disneyland (the coverage of the opening of Disneyland in 1955), The Mickey Mouse Club Story, and Disneyland Goes to the World's Fair, which covers how they built my favorite Disney ride, the Carousel of Progress (at that time called "Progressland," sponsored by General Electric), plus It's a Small World, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, and the General Motors' dinosaurs.

[Later that night, 2005 :-) : Did do the Memoirs special, plus two Danny Kaye specials, one from AMC many years ago and an American Masters PBS presentation hosted by Hugh Downs.]
