Re: Laurel and Hardy on Blu-Ray...?
The MGM/UA version was subsequently released as a stand-alone, and appears to be still in print. I have both it and the Legend version, and to my eyes, the MGM is superior, sharper and with a better grayscale range, obviously taken from a good-quality 35mm element. The Legend is also from some kind ...

Re: Problems with reply posting
Hey Gang, When I post a reply with a quote attached to this website, I'm having trouble typing in a response. The message jumps up and down as I type, and the hilighting to cut and paste seems to be a bit uncontrollable. Is anyone else having this problem with this site, or is it my computer? It on...

Re: Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle Book
Is the mystery man dressed identically in all the photos - perhaps indicating a one-off visit by a outsider and/or acquaintance - or does his garb vary, as would someone's who visited the production over time as a matter of course?

Re: BECOMING CHARLEY CHASE Review
I've always had a fondness for Chase, even though my familiarity with his work was limited to the usual: his bit in Sons of the Desert, and a few of the commonly-available shorts. I haven't gotten through the whole set, but of what I've seen so far, the commentaries are great at calling attention to...
