Quote:The slow-motion/excision explanation to me has always seemed capable of explaining a good deal of the oddities in the film. I know intuitive impressions are worth less than a dime a dozen, but when I watch the film it just seems like it was filmed in slow motion even when it is shown at 18fps. There have been a number of attempts to refute the idea that Zapruder was filming at 48fps. I am not qualified to judge. But I agree that if there was frame removal, this is the path of least resistance to not revealing the removals...
I just wanted to clarify here that what I meant was actually the opposite of what I stated: that the film looked to me as if it were a time-lapse film (not a slow-motion film); it is an odd discontinuity-in-continuity (aside from the impossible head turns, etc.) that I seem to be reacting to. And it is that subjective impression that has led me to entertain frame removal as a possibility; which in turn is easiest to do if the film were filmed in slow motion.
I know this doesn't add anything of substance to the discussion, but I did want to offer a necessary self-correction.
The chain of possession discussion in Horne is fairly detailed. One may not entirely agree with his conclusions, but it is worth reading.
Albert -
As far as I can tell each and every of your comments adds to the discussion - so no worries.
I have and read Horne's volume IV on Bethesda and the Zfilm... will revisit it again to refresh the memory....
unless you can post something now that occurs between 12:30 friday and 9am Saturday that caught your interest...

Building on what Magda posted...
and as LIFE stated not long after, the film was "unimpeachable evidence of the assassination".... like the autopsy report(s) and would be the standard by which all other theories would be held...
nevermind that the film itself contradicts the conclusions attributed to it.
To the WORLD, it was and will always remain - WHAT HAPPENED. And yet I come to find an entire generation has passed us by (1991 JFK) with little or no understanding of that film and its implications.
Where's the Hollywood Seven when we need them already?
I understood our community has "unimpeachable evidence of the alteration" via this group and their work....
From an operational standpoint a question worth asking is "Why bother with a Zfilm at all?" other than to insure that ONLY one single film will ever represent the entire assassination.
does the notion of, "We will need evidence that will convince everyone of what we say happened really happened" and Zap helped to accomplish this ???
Thinking out loud again....
