SMiLE film sessions update?

[onkster]

Hey, did anything ever happen with the SMiLE film footage that was found in the film library?

I know some of you were trying to get ahold of it, when this was the old SMiLE Shop board, but never heard the outcome...if there was one...

If you are referring to the legendary "outtakes" from the Inside Pop filming- I believe that what was found was the Director's notations about what was filmed- meaning we know basically what was filmed in Dec 1966, but we don't have any of the outtakes-Consensus last time I heard anything was that the film like many other great films is no longer around. Personally- I'd really love to see the BBs on Pacific Ocean Pop-Dec 30 1961, but that film is not in existence either

As I often say on this board, I fully plan to attend a yard sale in the near future, where for 10 dollars, someone who hates the Beach Boys sells me a mysterious box full of:

1) The multi-tracks to Shut Down Vol. 2
2) The 1966 Smile Documentary Outtakes
3) A reel of tape in a box labeled "Dumb Angel" (as seen in an Ed Roach photograph of the BB's tape archive circa mid-1970s... and never seen again)
4) A mysterious tape labeled "Surf's Up Part 2"

Trust me.  In my junk shopping adventures, I've already found several mix-down reels of the 1970s funk-disco group The Brothers Johnson (!?!?!?)

The Brothers Wilson are next.  I can feel it.

While you're there, can you pick up a flux capacitor for me ?  $35, top.

Why not just take a secondhand CD player and reverse the polarity of the neutron flow?

Hmmm... ya know, that's crazy enough to work.

How many "jigawatts" do you have to run one of those things at? Was it 11000?

[matt-zeus]

I think it was 1.21 jigawatts....though only something like a bolt of lightning can generate that kind of power...
