A/V Geeks 16mm Lunch 12-24-2025

Hello everybody. This is Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the AV Geeks lunchtime streaming show where we watch old 16 millimeter films and wrangle with new technology that is constantly kicking us in the butt. Um, so [laughter] I switched back from my other computer to the older computer >> and uh because the newer computer was just freaking out. It was being really weird with the webcam and so I like this webcam a lot. Uh then so when I switched back to the older computer uh this uh capture box which was working great before suddenly stopped working uh on the older computer. So I [clears throat] went and I pulled another box digitizing box and so hopefully this is going to work. Okay. So I'm It's Christmas Eve. Uh, everybody's not here except for me and I'm coming in just very briefly. I'm going to do my show and then I'm going to go home and relax and then tomorrow is going to be a pre-recorded show um while people are opening their presents. This is something um we went through bunch of home movies and found people's Christmases. So that's what that is. Um, so we're going to get started hopefully with something that's on the scanner. Oh boy. I hope [laughter] so. Here we go. Who knows what's going to happen. This is another in the trade-off series. Um, this is Malcolm Decides. Enjoy. How do you make a decision? Watch for the five steps that can help you make a decision. The Canadian Foundation for Economic Education and the Joint Council on Economic Education present Tradeoffs. [music] [music] >> [music] >> Once upon a time, there was a paper carrier who lived in a small town called Brooktown. And many of the people there thought he was the best paper carrier they ever had. Excuse me, that's not who I was talking about. Whoops, wrong town. [music] That's better. That's who I [music] was talking about. That's Malcolm, one of the best paper carriers in Brooktown. During his first [music] month as a paper carrier, people realized that Malcolm was very reliable. >> Hey, John, hold up. [music] >> Here comes Malcolm. >> Must be quitting time. >> You can set your watch by that boy. >> [music] >> They also learned that he was very accurate. And of course, he was always very courteous. In fact, it wouldn't have surprised most people if Malcolm won the paper carrier of the month award at the end of his very first month. Nevertheless, when Malcolm's root manager, Mr. Thorne, told Malcolm that >> play Malcolm, by the way, Michaels wants to see >> the big boss. [music] Mr. Michaels wanted to see him about something. Well, Malcolm was both surprised and worried. [music] >> [music] >> Mr. Michael. >> Yeah. Yeah. Hold on. Can you wait just a second, please? Hey, Phil. I can't find it. I'll call you back when I find it. All right. Okay. Call Phil. Okay. Yeah. What can I do for you? >> Mr. Thorn said you wanted to see me. I had a giant torso last Tuesday. >> Oh. Oh, you you Malcolm. >> Oh, Malcolm. Malcolm, I have something I want to give to you personally. I got it here somewhere. Ah, right in front of my eyes. Malcolm, you have been chosen as the Brooktown Gazette paper carrier of the month, and I've got a $15 gift certificate to give to you. >> $15? >> Well, it's not $15. It's a $15 gift certificate. You see, you can only spend it at this department store. You can't save it or spend it anywhere else. And we do that on purpose because we want our paper carriers to go out and buy themselves something really nice. You've worked very hard and you deserve it. >> Thank you, Mr. Michael. >> Yeah, sure. Sure, Mr. Keep up the good work. Now, uh, [music] Uh, hello young man. May I help you? >> How much does this hockey game cost? >> Let me see. Oh, it's $13.99 with tax. That's $14.70. It's a very popular game. I'll take it. Can you believe that's the same Malcolm who just won the paper carrier of the month award getting ready to use his certificate on the first thing that caught his eye? How does he know what's the best choice to make? Has he asked himself about the other ways he could use his gift certificate? It doesn't look like it. If only someone were there to whisper in his ear. Malcolm, are you sure that's the only thing you could use your gift certificate for? >> Will there be anything else? >> How much does this airplane cost? >> That's 1350 with tax. Will you be buying one of these two? >> No, I don't have one certificate. I don't know which one I want. The game or the airplane? Or maybe something else? >> Uhhuh. Malcolm's just discovered he has a problem. Only one $15 certificate and all kinds of different ways to spend it. So now, what's he going to do? >> This is about $15, too. Yes, that's just under 15 with tax. >> Exactly what he's doing now. Sizing up his alternatives. >> How much does a soccer ball like this cost? >> That's right. He's got to keep checking out the different things he can buy with his gift certificate. >> You know, you are beginning to make a really careful choice. This is one of our best buys in this department. It goes for $15 even including tax. Well, here are the things I want. >> So, which will it be? >> I don't know. I like them all. >> What about this hockey game? Do you think you enjoy that? >> I like the soccer ball, too. It's just the more I try to pick one, the more confused I get. >> Of course, he's confused. He's found four things that he wants that he can buy with his gift certificate. But he hasn't asked himself, "What makes this right for me?" >> I'm not going to be able to decide till I figure out which one is best for me. >> That's it. But they're all very nice. >> Sure, but whichever one I buy, it's going to have to last. It can't break the first time I use it. And mom and dad are going to have to say it's okay. Cuz if they won't let me use it, it'll be a big waste. And I only have a $15 gift certificate. So, I don't want to have to spend anything extra to use what I buy. And I want to be able to use it all the time. cuz it wouldn't be much good if I could hardly ever use it. >> Fortunately, things shouldn't be confusing anymore now that Malcolm's determined what's important to him. Now, it's just a matter of >> So, will this last or does it break easily? >> Well, this model airplane is lots of fun, but it has to be handled very carefully. >> That was up. How about this bow nail set? >> It's very sturdy. >> Will your parents permit you to have a bow and arrow set? >> No. M >> maybe you'd like to reconsider this electric hockey game. >> Will it last? >> It should. >> I don't think my mom will have any problems with it. >> So, how about the batteries? Do they come with it? >> No, you do have to buy $2 worth of batteries to make it work. Then I guess I have to be this soccer ball. It'll certainly last. It's made out of genuine cowhide. >> My parents should like it. >> And there are no batteries or any extra items to buy. >> But wait a minute. I won't be able to use it during the winter when it's icy, >> you know. No question about it. You are certainly making a careful choice. >> Smart fellow. >> I love my own radio, but these cost tons. Huh? >> No, that one only costs $15 including tax. >> It does. Do you think it will last? >> As long as you don't drop it. >> And your parents shouldn't mind as long as you don't play it too loudly. Plus, there's an earplug, >> and I can use it all the time. >> How about the batteries? I bet I have to buy lots of them. >> Good news. It comes with a charger and rechargeable batteries. >> It does. Okay, I'll take it. >> I'll ring it up. >> Can I try it first? >> Of course. And it comes with a complete warranty. >> Nice going, Malcolm. And now stay tuned for a special message about decision making. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Malcolm had to make a decision. Most decisions involve choice. Malcolm had to make a choice about using his $15 gift certificate. He used five steps to solve this problem. The first step was defining the problem. Malcolm's problem was that he had only one gift certificate, but many things for which it could be used. He had to choose what was right for him. He found the different things he wanted. These were his alternatives. Then he had to figure out what was important to him about what he could buy. Was it less than $15? Would it last? Would it be okay with his parents? Would there be extra costs? Would it be useful all the time? These were important to Malcolm. They were his criteria. After defining his problem, listing his alternatives, and stating his criteria, Malcolm compared his alternatives with his criteria and evaluated them. [music] Next, Malcolm took the final step in solving his problem. He decided which thing to buy. In making other decisions, Malcolm can use the same five steps he used in deciding to buy the radio. And you can use these steps when you make decisions. Do you really remember the steps in making a decision? First, define your problem. Second, list your alternatives. Third, state your criteria. Fourth, evaluate your alternatives. And fifth, make your decision. Whenever possible, check the results of your decision. Find out if it was a good decision for you. What are the five steps? Now, try using these steps to help Malcolm decide what to do about another problem. I wish dad didn't have to go to work on Saturdays. >> Yeah, so do I. Is this yours, Malcolm? >> Yeah, I got paid last night. Look inside. $25. >> H. Maybe I ought to get a paper wrap. Then we'd be rich. >> But I have to buy a new back tire for my bike. The other one is getting bald. And if I don't have a new back tire, I can't do my paper route. >> That's too bad. You've been pretty good about putting your money in your savings account. >> Not this week. >> Well, you probably still have enough for a record player. >> Yeah, but >> I have to keep on buying tires. I'll never saving enough. >> Well, you can do it. You won't have to buy a tire next payday. You'll be able to put that money in your savings account. Then it'll earn interest like the rest you've saved. Then you'll be able to buy your record player that much sooner. Do you know what day it is tomorrow? >> It's Sunday. >> It's your birthday. What do you want? >> Oh, don't worry about that. Your dad will take care of my present. You keep your money for yourself. You work too hard for it. >> Get that tire you need. >> Come on, Mom. I want to get you something nice. >> Save your money. That would please me more. >> I'll get you something. Don't worry. This purse is awfully scuffed up. Maybe mom would like a new one. >> [music] >> Now Malcolm has a brand new problem. Only $25 and several ways to use it. He could use it for a purse for his mother's birthday present, for his tire, or to save for his new record player. >> May I help you, ma'am? What's the difference between these two purses? Well, this $10 purse is made of finer leather, and it's softer, too. See, >> I think my mom might like one of these. >> Either one would make a very nice gift. >> But what about your back tire, Malcolm? >> You need a new tire for your bike? Well, this $10 tire is an excellent buy, but if you're going to do a lot of riding, it's not going to wear as well as the $15 model. I really need a good back tire. I need my bike for my paper. >> But don't forget about saving for your record player. >> He could buy the $10 purse for his mom, the $10 tire for himself and still have $5 to save. But that's not the only way he could spend the $25. I could buy my mom the $5 purse, get myself the $15 tire, >> and still have $5 to put in my savings account. >> But then again, what if Malcolm bought his mom the $5 purse and bought himself the $10 tire for his bike? Then he could save $10, earn more interest, and buy the record player sooner. What if I bought my mom's a $10 purse? Then I bought myself the $15 tire and I didn't save anything. >> What about saving for the record player? [music] Poor Malcolm. Decisions, decisions. But wait a minute. Can you apply the decision-making model to his problem? What would you decide and why? [music] The content of trade-offs was developed entirely with funds from a consortium of 46 state and provincial education [music] agencies. Other funds for tradeoffs were provided by these foundations and [music] corporations. >> [music] >> This program was produced by EFC, Educational Film [music] Center, Northern Virginia Educational Telecommunications Association. Animated segments produced by Goldshaw and Associates under the supervision of AIT, the Agency for Instructional Television. Yeah, it worked. Um, I love this tradeoffs series. uh it gets down into the the nitty-gritty of uh making decisions and all that, but uh it has some straight up wonderful '7s material in it. Uh which I of course love because I grew up during that time. Okay, now the required Christmas content. Uh these I think I've uploaded these to the channel, but I have not shown them on the show. So we have two films. Uh one is uh religious but but sweet. Uh and the other one is incredibly secular. Uh so we'll start off with the religious and then we will end with the secular animated that has singing and etc. So here is Christmas bus first. Enjoy. There we go. >> [music] [music] >> Hello there. after the ceremony. Send us in to make the name change on your social security card. And you pay the cashier.

Why don't you come on home with me? Okay. Woohoo! [music] [music] Woo! >> [music] [music] [music] [snorts] >> All right, we can poke holes in all of that, but it's still a very nice sentiment um to uh reach out. Some people um are lonely, they're sad. Uh you don't need to know their backstory, but you know, sometimes a a kind word, a smile. um it might not always be reciprocated, but that's okay. Um Christmas carol. So I one one year I went Christmas caroling with friends and very quickly realized that I did not know most Christmas carols past the first stanza. Uh [snorts] so it was laughable but yeah there you go. All right. So this next film is interesting because this was uh part of this collection, this coronet collection that we got that we're slowly processing and this was shown on television but there is a direct connection to um Coronet and that is that this was written by uh Mel Washkin and Mel Washkin helped write many uh Coronet films and produced many cornet films. films in the 70s and 80s. So this is this a cornet connect, you know, production? Probably not technically, but it does borrow pretty heavily. And so this has lots of character actors in it and um songs that are not traditional Christmas carols that may or may not get stuck in your head, but this is Trolls and the Christmas Express. Enjoy. Or enjoy. [music] Yes, that year Christmas seemed to really be shaping up and just about everyone was looking forward to the big day. Well, not quite everyone. >> Those guys are a bunch of creeps. That's all you're just a bunch of creeps. >> Quit pushing me. >> Quick, Santa. >> Stop your ring. >> Oh, they're going to catch us from WATCH. >> SANTA'S NO DUMMY. IT WON'T WORK. SHUT UP ALL OF YOU AND keep trudging. >> But trolls just don't like Christmas. Those horribly ugly, roguish, and rascally tricky and troublesome trolls. And we're going to mess up that. Oh, it'll never >> IT HAS TO. To really wreck Christmas, we've got to go where it all starts. Right here in Santa's Village. >> But uh why do we want to wreck Christmas? >> What's the matter with those? We're trolls, Clut. >> Oh, yeah. I forgot. We're trolls. Yeah. >> [music] >> Way up at the North Pole, Santa's place was really buzzing. You see, with only 25 days to go before Christmas, so many toys still [music] had to be finished. >> Jolly Day. Jolly Day. Jolly Day. Oh, jolly day. >> Santa's elves were stitching and sewing, gluing, and hammering as fast as their little fingers could go. The Christmas Express chug chugged along from workshop to workshop, picking up the finished toys, bringing them on down to Santa's sleigh. Of course, good old Santa was there with his chief elf, Melin, just to make sure that everything was right on schedule. >> Uh, no one tending to the um reindeer, Wilin. >> Oh, let's see. Uh, yes. Uh, Pipling comes in once a day to feed them and give them a little love. Well, they know we care about them. Don't you, my friend? Say, how would you like to go for a quick spin? Milk him. Let's hitch them up to the sleigh. >> Oh, I just love hitching. [music] >> That's him, Santa. We'll get him this time. Him and his jolly. with you. >> But we'll never be able to see it. >> They'll spot us right away. >> We don't even look like elves. >> True. We don't look like elves. But see that? That's how we'll get into the village. [music] Oops. Blood. Sorry. Dude, >> be careful. Huh? >> Sorry, Orange. >> Oh, it's too tired. >> Gosh, this ain't >> Well, now let me look you all over. >> Gosh, almighty. Now, this is your guilty will. >> Shut up. >> Well, it'll have to do. Let's get going. >> You look even worse than it did before. Jolly bang. Dolly bang. Busy time. Jolly day. [crying] >> Jolly day. [screaming] >> Jolly day. >> Trib you knitw. >> But they they don't even notice us. Too busy. [music] >> Jolly day, Pibbling. >> Oh, jolly day, Santa. >> What's this? A problem? Oh, Santa, if only I could work full-time in the shops instead of having to come here. >> No, no, no, no, no. We need you here, too. >> Oh, yes. Yes. Oh, yes. Most certainly. >> But I'll see what I can do. >> Oh, thank you, Santa. [music] [music] Golly, why me? Oh jeez, >> Pippling, we've got good news for you. >> Oh, >> Santa sent us to take care of the reindeer. >> To help me? >> Oh, no. To replace you. >> Replace me? You mean I can spend full time in the workshops? >> Full time? >> Oh, thank you. Thank you. Now there's the hay and there's the water and there are the brushes and and I'm on MY WAY. HAVE A jolly oh really jolly day. >> There's the hay and there's some way >> jolly day. >> Jolly day. >> Jolly. [laughter] >> REALLY JOLLY. >> STOP IT you idiots. He's gone. Now we can get on with our real work. I real like >> no happy kids. >> Oh yeah. Yeah. Right. >> No jolly days. >> RIGHT. >> RIGHT. >> RIGHT. >> A world full of sad people. Nasty. Pasty. Just like us. Right. >> Right. >> Right. I think. >> Come on. We've got 25 days. We're bound to mess up something. >> [music] >> Even though the days are flying and we're running out of time, we are happy working production line. We love to spend our days while we're making toys. We [music] still play so much on his way and [music] jolly. >> Oh, a little lady here, a little worm here. >> In the shops we keep on building and lots of toys. We must we must follow for girls [music] and boys. Jolly music, jolly times, jolly days and jolly times. Santa's elves, Santa's elves. We are Santa's jolly [music] elves. We laugh and sing as we work away. And we wish you a jolly day. [screaming] >> [music] >> Woof woof. Lions don't go woof. Dogs go meow meow. If dogs meow and lions bark, then cats go. [music] Oh me. Oh my. Why isn't it working? Their [music] magic is better. [music] >> [music] >> is now fire. Now our job is almost finished and the toys are brand [music] new. Christmas Eve they'll be deliberating every dream come true. Oh y [music] music and Santa [music] we are Santa with you. >> [music] [cheering] [cheering] >> Yes, tomorrow was Christmas Eve and Santa's helpers made it with hours to spare. Yeah, as I was saying, Christmas sure seemed to be shaping up nicely. >> Back to the barn. There's got to be a way. We can't give up now. >> [music] >> A few last minute jobs to do, is it? Well, don't forget to get your rest. You too, my reindeer friends. Strong and steady. It's a big day tomorrow. Sleep well. Did you hear? >> Oh, it ain't going to work. Listen. What's Christmas mean to kids? >> Well, uh, >> toys, you fool. >> Oh, yeah. Toys. Yeah. >> Who brings the toys? >> Uh, Santa. >> Of course, Santa. But how does he carry the toys? >> Um, in a truck. >> Mass on a sleigh. >> And who pulls the sleigh? >> Reindeer. So, what's Christmas without reindeer? >> Nothing. >> So, do we stop the toys? >> Uh, no. >> Do we stop Santa? >> No. >> What? Do we stop >> the reindeer? >> WE STOP THE REINDEER. >> THE REINDEER. >> But how? >> Don't let HIM GET TO SLEEP. KEEP THEM AWAKE ALL NIGHT. THAT'LL KEEP HIM FROM FLYING. Everybody sing STOMP THE TROLL SONG. >> [music] >> We're horribly ugly, roguish and rascally, tricky and troublesome trolls. [music] >> This is our beat. >> This is our song and this is the way it goes. [snorts] >> Don't need a voice that's [music] smooth and sweet. >> Don't even need to keep the beat. Clap your hands and stamp your feet. Rese don't need partners. Dance alone. Don't even play that. [music] Play that simple. We're trolls. >> What's that? Strangest singing I've ever heard. >> H. Sounds like it's coming from the reindeer barn. A lot of good enthusiasm out there. >> Well, enthusiasm is good, but uh they ought to save their energy for tomorrow. >> Should I go over and uh quiet them down? >> That would be a good idea. >> Clap your hands and stamp your feet. >> Don't even need to keep your feet. [music] You'll be part [music] >> enthusiasm is good, but uh a little quiet would be appreciated and helpful, too. Big day [music] tomorrow. Say, their outfits don't fit too well, do they? Oh, they certainly don't make elp suits like they used to. Well, I'd best tell them to get a good rest tonight. Hey, hey, hey, you dropped something. >> Oh, thanks, Duncan. She's just a bit overloaded. Sure could use an extra hand or two. >> Oh. Oh, I guess I'd be glad to help. Oh. Oh. Wait, wait, WAIT. No need to smile. We're simple. We're [music] simple. We're [music] and we're simply souls. >> We're horribly ugly and rascally trlesome. Everybody on this the day. Jolly day everybody. Jolly day. I >> think we did it. They'll never fly. Christmas is ruined. My friends, millions of children are nestled all snug in their beds, dreaming of something special tomorrow morning. And we're not going to disappoint them. And my brighteyed reindeer, my strong and steady companion, your sturdy legs will carry us up. Up, Milkin, they're falling asleep on their feet. How could that be? >> Beats me, Santa. >> That singing last night, you told the elves in the barn to get to sleep, didn't you? Well, I I >> Well, it's too late to do anything about that now. We've got to fly. [music] On Dasher, on Dancer, keep dancing. wake up. Comet, you can't nap now. Donna, Britson, wake up. Wake up. Oh, please wake up all of you. Holy blazing comet. Kuro, look out, Bill. [music] OH, >> WELL, it's hopeless. I'm afraid that this year Christmas is ruined. There's nothing we can do about it now. Nothing. [music] >> [music] >> Oh. Oh. Oh. H. I've got an idea. >> Milkin's got an idea. >> He's got an idea. >> Idea. He's got an idea. >> Milkin. An idea. Uh, what? >> USE THE CHRISTMAS EXPRESS. the fish. >> We take the track from here, lay it straight down from the North Pole till it meets railroad tracks leading all over the world. See, WE CAN DO IT. >> DO you really think so? >> All aboard. All aboard. Make way for the Christmas Express. >> [music] >> Start the engine and the whistle blow. [music] Line up the track and away we go. The Christmas Express is on its way [music] to deliver toys for Christmas Day. [music] Let [music] the wheels go up for each child. [music] The Christmas Express is on its way with joy and laughter for CHRISTMAS DAY. COME ON EVERYONE, [music] JOIN IN THE FUN at the Christmas. >> What's that? >> I don't hear a thing. >> I do. >> Uh, what is it? >> Dr. It's the Christmas Express. All our work wasted. Can't we just let him alone? >> Wait. Yes, we can give them a little help along [music] hill. We must GO BACK WITH HURRY UP. THERE'S NO TIME to wait. [music] The Christmas is on it way. The join for Christmas everyone join in the Christmas. Time was running out fast. Everyone was working harder than ever. But those northern lights above Santa's village somehow seemed closer and closer. Hey, hold on there. Straight tracks don't curve. >> A curve? The tracks should be straight. >> COME ON. WHAT ARE THOSE elves doing? Hey, >> those are the same elves who were making all that racket in the reindeer bar. What? >> I don't think they're elves at all. I think they're they're trolls. >> Yes, WE ARE TROLLS. And now it's too late for you to do anything about it. We've finally wrecked Christmas. Why would you want to do this to so many little children? Why? Cuz everybody always pushes us trolls around. Is Santa ever the bad guy? Do elves ever have to live under bridges? >> Yeah. No. You said it. >> And when Christmas time comes around, people are so happy AND JOLLY THAT WE CAN'T stand it. Every year we've tried to mess up Christmas and this year we finally did it. Did it. Did it. >> Perhaps though if people knew how you felt, they might change their minds about trolls. People have never liked us. >> Never. >> Think I can tell that. Then how do you explain this? One of our favorite Christmas songs. >> Deck the hearts with boughs of holly. La the season to be jolly. La done. We now are gay apparel. La to rule the ancient U tide carol. Why does it say that? Troll. Give me that book. >> Actually, to roll means to sing or play happily. >> So, you see, trolls used to be part of the Christmas season. Now, why shouldn't they be part of Christmas again? >> Could people like us? Maybe we could do good things. >> Impossible. >> But it's too late. >> If you helped us, we could still deliver the toys before mining. Well, trolls, my friends, would you like to help?
