I wouldn't care much, other than they've said that the film vault is included in the damage :( All those old films... if they don't get burnt up, they'll probably be ruined from the water.

Sad sad.

Well, the article says that the motion picture part of the vault is fine... but on the news, there were shots of folks carrying out rolls of film

Dunno what's up...

According to MSNBC between 40,000 and 50,000 films were damaged but that there are copies kept at a different site.

I'm glad they had back ups.. I'm always one to randomly get a hold of an old movie or TV show I haven't seen since I was a kid.. I'm currently watching 'Eerie Indiana' now.. anyone?
None of my friends remember that great Sci-Fi show.

"Fortunately, nothing irreplaceable was lost," Meyer said. "The video library was affected and damaged, but our main vault of our motion picture negatives was not."
