Conspiracy Theories.

There must be a conspiracy theory that explains why Kodak won't bring back Kodachrome. Probably has lizards in it somewhere.

Lizard type aliens are responsible for a lot, according to David Eich.

It is more likely that the Egyptians will start building pyramids again ...

That's not a bad idea. It's been a while since someone's built a decent pyramid.


My reasoning for Kodachrome is based on these unlikely events:

---- Britain votes to exit the EU
---- Cubs win World Series after 108 years, breaking the Billy Goat Curse
---- Donald Trump elected President
==> Chinese produce Kodachrome III


...
To this day the film remains in the camera, the roll unflipped, in my Camera Room.

Ok... I had to check. Either I used only 10' or I flipped the roll and used 35'. No matter: one day I'll find out when I finish the roll, open the camera, and see whether the original spool or the K II spool has film on it.

I wasn't too surprised that the light-meter-controlled aperture still works.

But, more realistically, can any image be obtained from this ~40 year-old roll? Last I heard, it can be processed to produce a B&W image.

Aren't you missing some middle terms there?

Yes indeed, I was discussing that with Elvis just the other night.
How dare you have time travel and not bring us some Kodachrome from then? Then just go back and develop it! A time machine is the solution.

Maybe this thread could be deleted, but last time something like this happened, there was some sort of vortex to another dimension that opened up. Do they have some Kodachrome there?
I also heard about this "devil" guy who exchanges souls for whatever is wished, did anyone try? Heard it is possible at a crossroads in Mississipi, or maybe even on a Barn, if some funny drawings and chants are spelled.

Initiating a Kodachrome revival project would be a Kodak move so stupid it would make many of Kodak management's previous stupid moves over recent decades look positively reasonable, if not ingenious. :smile:

Just like sending men on the moon was such a waste of money and didn't bring any profitable dollars from the sales of moon trips on the market of space travels, that decision must have been as well so stupid businesswise it surely almost lead NASA to bankruptcy . Proof is that they stopped sending men on the moon. What a bunch of delusional dreamers and bigfoot believers they must have been to think about sending men on the moon.

Without JFK's vision most posters from above would not have had the chance to use electronic calculators at school.Later they would not have had enough money to buy a playstation for their kids.....with regards :blink:

Time travel? Elvis is alive, dude!
And Legba is just one of many, I haven't met him, but Ashtaroth & myself get together for a Guinness once in a while.
I'll ask about time travel next time the LGM come visit, they seem pretty clever.
