AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 5-6-2024

that for is wait where am I I can't find myself where am I Hold On Jo one second you can't see me um the webcam just just flaked out uh anyways I'm skip alimer welcome to the a Geeks lunchtime streaming show um it's uh very annoying uh that you can't see me but uh let's go ahead and uh learn why we shouldn't take chances courtesy of General Tire enjoy take the chance why take the chance why take the chance why take [Music] [Applause] don't let this happen to you every 3 seconds in the United States someone is killed or injured of those that die one out of every three dies in a traffic accident don't take a chance on tires that blow out you don't even need a blowout to have a serious accident on a perfect highway or city street within legal limits emergencies can always [Applause] [Music] happen that won't stop you in time today you are faced with two developments that literally force you to demand better than average Tire protection more and more high-speed high-powered automobiles more and more traffic traveling on more highp speeed City thoroughfares and highways add to these two conditions the other great demands made on tires today within a tire lifetime it must hold up the weight of a car stand in snow till frozen be driven at high speeds over highways so hot they'll fry an egg jammed against curves plunged into sharp edged chuck holes spun skitted in stone and gravel mistreated someway every day and yet how important tires are here is a $5,000 automobile take away the tires and what have you got nothing but a high-price stationary engine for a small percentage of the cost of the car it becomes a luxurious means of personal Transportation but what do you know about tires how much can you tell by looking at them especially after they're on the wheel we have safety checks for lights for brakes for horns but the tires the most important thing on your car as far as your safety is concerned how do we check them this one looks all right a lot of tread still on it but is it the kind of tread that will stop you quickly how do you know there isn't a break inside there that might have come from a bump a 100 miles ago the kind of break that every time the tire revolves causes loss of air this happens in tire that 2 minutes before looked perfectly all right what is your best Assurance against unseen tire trouble here it is the general nen tubeless tire the one perfected tubeless tire and here is the famous four-way protection you get only on these brilliant new masterpieces of Tire engineering first protection against blowouts because the new general [ __ ] gen tubless tire is built with [ __ ] gen cord that is pound for pound stronger than steel cables as shown in this test lifting a 22-ton truck second protection against punctures with the exclusive General puncture seiling compound as shown in this cutaway of the tire next this big exclusive the safety pressure lock with this built-in o-ring that forms a leak proof pressure lock at The Rim when the tire is inflated like this assuring no air loss and fourth quick stopping protection on dry or wet pavement with generals exclusive cross tread squeegees for fast straight line stops As proved in this dramatic test first the world's greatest stopping power here is a wide pavement reserved for this official test five cars will come down at a breast all the same make and model and all being driven by test drivers the only difference one car is equipped with General tires the other four with leading competitive tires which we shall call a b c and d at the end of each test Lane is the wooden cutout figure of a running boy the kind sometimes used to Mark school zone the pavement has been wet to make it slippery the signal is start here they come picking up speed till they are traveling near but not exceeding the legal Lim [Music] the signal for the brakes now [Applause] watch the one on generals came to a quick straight line stop the running boy in front of it was safe the others were not so lucky the car on tires a stopped just as it hit the boy B Tires ran over its boy the cars on C and D Tires knocked the dummy Galley west of course we all face emergencies when we have to drive fast I say again why take a chance on tires that will not stop you in an [Applause] emergency now for a comparison of strength here comes a car cord ever developed for tires as steel is made from Iron nen is made from nylon processed by General to resist heat stretching bruising or breaking General nen tubless tires have up to 50% Tire test here's a concrete island with a 10-in curve we'll back up and hit it at 60 M an [Applause] hour going so fast he went over a second island a curb that high is like hitting an AB butman and yet you can see there is no sign of a Brak inside even with that terrific series of shock pressure lock and the fourth big safety feature you get with General [ __ ] gen tubeless tires freedom from Flats with an exclusive self-sealing latex compound inside that seals holes as it rolls yes all this famous four-way protection find exclusively in the one perfected tubeless tire the general nen tubeless tire four-way protection so vitally on today's highspeed highways in today's high powerered cards think how much more protection you get for the little extra you pay for generals ordinary tires have a safety factor of from 5 to 7 The General Tire with [ __ ] gen cord has a safety factor of 16.8 two to three times the strength and protection of ordinary tires don't tell me I don't drive fast ordinary tires are good enough sure they're good enough sitting in the garage they may be even good enough enough at 35 mph if you're the only car on the road but driving today isn't like that if you're only doing 35 M an hour and the other Fell's doing 35 and you meet head on in a skid or blowout you come together at the rate of 70 mph which is the same as driving off a 10 story building ever see a car go off a 10-story building well we thought the object lesson would be worth it no driver will go over with it the stunt man will jump clear leaving only an old IMO camera bolted to the hood ready to shoot its last [Music] scene the parking lot below has been cleared and roped off everything's ready let her go think of what might happen why take a chance pece of mind is worth a small difference in price General Tires can save your life in an emergency so that setup of them driving a car off there's no like shot from the street I'm watching it fall and I am very suspect of that footage of it going down I don't think that's what that's real footage I think that they probably lowered it on a rope or something um I don't know I I am very and then there was a big splice there so it's possible that that footage was there and somebody just clipped it out um you know uh so this was from the um uh Nelson's uh who were film collectors and they bought a lot of things uh at yard sales uh state sales thrift stores and eBay similar to me uh and so it's possible they bought it from somebody who clipped out that awesome scene of the car I mean it's possible but such a great setup and then no payoff that's bums me out uh anyways uh my webcam is working now um sometimes it just craps out I'm I'm not a fan of Elgato that's kind of where I went I was like oh this camera looks really good but the software is really buggy and sometimes it get I get really jerky because I have to reset the frame rate geeking out because that's what we do excuse me anyways uh behind me I have a film scanner and I found this film as we were schlepping some films around I was like oh I haven't watched this um it's long uh and it says uh let's see see what it says on it it says three Superman cartoons so let's see what these are I'm guessing that it's the Flasher ones but I don't know haven't seen it so um here we go here's the Superman reel enjoy oh no thanks Chief but Lord Chief don't

something that may free Miss Hogan yes doctor uh I I've been feeling much better lately but I'll be right over I'll see you later Lois orders [Music] doc Dr Jordan was the world's foremost student of hieroglyphics most of our Priceless specimens were brought back by him even the mummy of King tush among his possessions I uncovered this ancient Egyptian tablet and find it to be a secret curse of the tomb of King Tash he who disturbs the Eternal sleep of King Tash Shall Perish this tablet May well be Miss Hogan's passport to Freedom come with me please [Music] over 3,000 years ago the Valley of the upper Nile was ruled by an old and powerful King he had been Waring with the lower Nile for many years and just before the Old King died he called his son to him a young boy of 12 he commanded his giant guards to wear an oath of Eternal allegiance to the boy Prince to guard him constantly in this world and the next shortly after the Old King died a youth of 12 now ruled the kingdom of 10 million people but the boy was not fashioned for such responsibilities and being of a sickly nature soon became ill himself never was a person attended more Faithfully than this youth yet he withered away and soon died true to their oath of Allegiance each of the royal Gods drank poison so that they might continue to protect the spirit of their young king in the Valley of the Dead here in these catacombs Dr Jordan has reconstructed the burial Vault exactly as he first discovered it in one of the pyramids working for years in absolute and frenzied secrecy he finally duplicated an ancient Mystic formula which he called the fluid of [Music] life just before he was found dead Dr Jordan had inoculated each of the mummies of the giant guards they were supposed to return to life but somehow the test failed Dr Jordan was found here at the feet of King tush the rest you know but what you don't know Mr Kent and what I am equally certain of is that Dr Jordan violated the ancient Warning by attempting to open the coffin of King tush [Music] [Applause] a poisonous needle that's how Dr Jordan was killed yes and Miss Hogan is a free [Music] [Applause] woman lis [Music] [Applause] a [Applause] [Music] [Applause] la [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] Jane Hogan said free this is one time I've scooped you Lis yes lucky for you I was hurt incidentally who told you I was

ships a safe Crossing for the mighty Mission praise the Lord and pass the ammunition and [Music] will um so uh let me type this real quick I'm still here here I am uh so that reel was incredibly problematic for a couple of reasons one um they cut out like the titles whoever had this reel cut out the titles uh the films themselves were faded red and scratched um they cut out the end um and also you know as of the time a lot of animators were just running with uh racial stereotypes pretty insensitive ones um there's these uh George pal puppet Tunes which are amazing to see they're beautiful animation but oh boy when they have any person of color that's not Dutch or uh it's just bad um so that's the problem but in spite of that the animation is beautiful flasher Brothers uh did that for Paramount and uh they also did Popeye which is the those early Popeye cartoons are so good uh and then they also did Betty Boop which is also really amazing stuff and they did rotoscoping where they would film somebody and then they would trace it um really amazing um animation work um just unfortunately not very aware at the time because they that's the way it was at that time uh So speaking of the past let's watch this film uh which is speaking English talking about the past enjoy [Music] during this film listen for sentences like these last Saturday morning Colin went shopping Colin paid for these things in cash he was here an hour ago he had it [Music] then and sentences like these I've been here for about 5 weeks have you written your letter he's lost a [Music] wallet do you know what this is It's a wallet I keep money in my wallet pound notes and 10 Shilling notes my checkbook and my driving license I look after my wallet very carefully because I don't want to lose the money in the other things in it I always keep it here in the inside pocket of my jacket but Colin Groves my visitor from New Zealand always keeps his wallet here in this pocket of his trousers at least that's where he always used to keep it after what happened last Saturday I think he now keeps it in the pocket of his jacket this is what happened last Saturday last Saturday morning Colin went shopping first he went to his bank to get some money then he went to this department store a department store is a very large shop which sells all kinds of goods Colin went to the shoe department first and bought a pair of shoes then he went to another department and bought a tie and a pair of [Music] socks Colin paid for these things in [Music] cash lastly Colin went to the tailoring Department he had ordered a suit about a fortnite before and it was to be ready for him by last Saturday morning are you quite satisfied sir yes indeed I'm very pleased with the suit I'd be glad to take home a suit made in London when are you going back to New Zealand in about 3 weeks time have you been in this country very long I've been here for about 5 weeks have you spent all your time in London sir oh no I've spent most of my time in London but I visited other places as well as a matter of fact I came back from a visit to Oxford only yesterday that must have been very enjoyable sir now how would you like to pay for the suit sir can I pay by check of course sir this suit cost £8 doesn't it that is correct sir sure you will find it excellent value for the money I'm sure I shall here is my check thank you very much sir here is the receipt sir thank you you oh sir you've forgotten your other Parcels so I have thank you for telling me goodbye sir goodbye Colin went to a bus stop near the store to catch a bus and come home to my flat I happened to be passing by in my car and saw Colin waiting for a bus so I stopped and picked him up Colin put his Parcels on the back seat got in beside me and I drove away while we were on our way home in the car Colin pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket the wallet came out with it and fell on the floor of the car underneath the seat I didn't know the wallet was there neither did Colin when we got home Colin took his Parcels out of the car but he didn't see the wallet Mrs Blake the lady who cleans my flat was at work in the sitting room when we arrived good morning Mr Church good morning Mr groes I can see what you've been doing this morning you've been shopping yes I've been buying some clothes and a pair of shoes would you like a cup of tea I was just going to make some for myself yes please Mrs Blake will you have a cup of tea Mr Church um what's that Mr BL I'm making some tea would you like a cup yes please excuse me a moment col in a letter has come for me that I really must answer at once Mr Church said he wanted a cup of tea didn't he yes thank you I think he's still writing a letter I'll go and tell him it's ready I poured your tea out Mr church it's getting cold thank you Mrs Blake I'm coming now have you written your letter yes I go out and posted as soon as I've drank this C te I haven't any stamps can you L me one yes I can I have some in my wallet I wonder what I've done with my wallet it's not in any of my pockets I'll go and see if I put it down anywhere in my room it's not in my room I've looked everywhere and I can't find it I don't think it's in this room we've looked everywhere and not found it how much money was there in it 35 £ 35 I word that's a lot of money to lose why did you have so much money in it I went to the bank and Drew enough money to pay for my suit and buy a few other things but I didn't pay for the suit in cash I paid by check instead well that's why I had so much money left if it's not in this flat you must have dropped it somewhere while you were out I'm sure I haven't dropped it anywhere I always keep my wallet in this pocket where it's safe it can't possibly have fallen out then you must have taken it out and left it somewhere can you remember where you were when you last used it yes I was in the tailoring Department I remember taking it out of my pocket when I was going to pay for my suit I expect I put it down and forgot to pick it up again that's go straight back to the shop I'll drive you that's a good idea I do hope you find it if I had 35 I wouldn't forget what I done with it [Music] [Music] hello sir I didn't expect to see you here again so soon I hope you found nothing wrong with a suit oh no I've come back because I've lost my wallet I think I may have left it here I don't think so I should have seen it if You' left it here well was there much money in it £ 35s oh dear I do hope you get it back well it certainly isn't here now and I don't think you can have left it here but I'll telephone our Lost Property department and find out whether it's been picked up anywhere else in the store uh Jones's here I have a gentleman with me he's lost a wallet he was here an hour ago he had it then I remember seeing it when he paid for his suit oh very well Mr Gro did you go to any other department uh after leaving here no I went straight out to the bus stop uh no he went straight out out to the bus stop thank you I'm afraid no wallet has been handed in the Lost Property Department this morning I don't think I could have lost it anywhere else in the store perhaps you may have lost it on the bus you said you went straight to the bus stop when you left here as a matter of fact I didn't go home by bus the friend I'm staying with happened to come by in his car and he drove me home perhaps you dropped it in the car have you looked in the car no I haven't we never thought of looking there but I don't think I can have done that you see I always keep my wallet in this pocket it couldn't possibly fall out couldn't it Carin good Heavens you found it yes it was under the seat in the car it must have fallen out of your pocket while we were driving home I'm very glad you've got it back sir so am I all's well that ends well Colin got his wallet back and we all stopped worrying now I want you to think about some of the things we said that morning have you been in this country very long I've been here for about 5 weeks have you been in this country very long I've been here for about 5 weeks this is one use of the present perfect the has have tense to talk about something which like Collin's visit began some time ago and is still going on now but we very often use the present perfect to talk about something that happened completely in the past do you remember what happened in this room a letter has come for me that I'd really must answer at once a letter has come for me that I'd really must answer at once I poured your tea out Mr church if it's getting cold I pulled your tea out Mr church it's getting cold it's not in my room I've looked everywhere and I can't find it I don't think it's in this room we've looked everywhere and not found it it's not in my room I've looked everywhere and I can't find it I don't think it's in this room we've looked everywhere and not found it I've come back because I've lost my wallet I've come back because I've lost my wallet good Heavens you found it good Heavens you found it in all these examples we have been interested in what has happened and not in when the happening took place now the listen carefully I spent most of my time in London but I visited other places as well as a matter of fact I came back from a visit to Oxford only yesterday I spent most of my time in London but I visited other places as well as a matter of fact I came back from a visit to Oxford Only Yesterday notice the change from present perfect in the first sentence to past in the second sentence Colin speaks of yesterday the time in the past has become important so he uses K let's have another example he's lost a wallet he was here an hour ago he had it then he's lost a wallet he was here an hour ago he had it then the ordinary past tense is of course used time after time when is describing events in the past telling a story I went to the bank and Drew enough money to pay for my suit and buy a few other things but I didn't pay for the suit in cash I paid by check instead I went to the bank and Drew enough money to pay for my suit and buy a few other things but I didn't pay for the suit in cash I paid by check instead Colin pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket the wallet came out with it and fell on the floor of the car underneath the seat Colin pulled his handkerchief out of his pocket the wallet came out with it and fell on the floor of the car underneath the seat and the lesson from that story is don't keep your wallet and your handkerchief in the same pocket goodbye [Music] excuse me uh that is that's the only thing I got out of that film is don't keep your wallet and your handkerchief in the same pocket um I I'd love showing that out of context and not really explaining what the point of the film was and let people kind of go like what's going on you know I can say this is part of a British television show series people go oh my gosh um yeah anyways that was teaching uh verb tense that's what that was all about um with that and so since I was adult I it might have been uh English as a SE second language series um teaching people um who are not from the UK how to speak English all right thanks for tuning in today very much appreciate it uh we'll be back again tomorrow Tuesday and we'll show you some more
