  1. Dear Howard Blumenthal,

    I’ve found your post in the Internet where you mentioned Michael Baronov:

    I already wrote and published my post about him:

    Let me ask you about a permission to translate some part of your blog into Russain (including some photos)
    and use it for updating my post about Michael Baronov.

    I appreciate any help of you in development of my KinoNlog & Ru KinoStarz project.

    Best regards

    I remember the first time I viewed color. II was probably 6 or 7 years old, visiting my great uncle Jack in New Jersey. The reception wasn’t the best. It was a jungle movie. I think it was called ”Javaro” or something like that. It was amazing!. Some years later, when my dad blessed us with our own color T.V., I was able to watch Superman- my favorite show at the time—IN COLOR! I just couldn’t believe what I was seeing! His blue, red and yellow super suit actually BLUE , RED & YELLOW, without the need to imagine it that way, just like the in the DC comic books I collected! Absolutely surreal! I remain a loyal Superman to this day @ 73 years old!
