Re: THREE AGES Cohen Media Restoration - Amazon Review
Many thanks Ed for confirming that the Eureka and Cohen discs use the same transfers. I bought a huge Keaton set from Kino several years ago that was on sale. The transfers, etc. varied quite a bit but were generally good. I agree with you the 2019 disc of Our Hospitality didn't seem like a huge upg...

Re: Gierucki on the radio!
Thank you for your kind words Ed! The show can be heard at the link below. Although my radio show is primarily a music show, there are several episodes with movie historians, too. Frank Thompson was interviewed live in the studio on October 7, and there are episodes with Richard Roberts and Randy Sk...

Re: THREE AGES Cohen Media Restoration - Amazon Review
Thank you, Ed (way belatedly) for this detailed review and comparison of the various Blu-Rays of Three Ages. (I've the 2010 disc, and will look for the 2017 edition). Ed, are the Eureka discs the same transfers as the Cohen Blu-Rays, or different editions all together? I keep seeing them online. Den...

Re: CHARLEY CHASE AT HAL ROACH THE TALKIES: VOLUME FOUR 1929 now available
Like Rob, I also posted an Amazon review (and mine also hasn't show up yet). It's also five stars. Ed, thank you for the neat video; it was cute and charming. Needless to say, this set belongs in every vintage comedy fan's collection! I've watched each short several times (with and without Richard's...

Re: HOT SPORTS (1929) Monty Collins, Vernon Dent
Thank you Richard for posting the link to this short (and for Dave Glass for putting it online). I've known about this title for decades, but this is the first time I've seen it. It's very funny, with Monty, Vernon, and director Jules White all in good form. (And Vernon appeared in over 20 released ...

Re: HARRY LANGDON AT HAL ROACH: THE TALKIES 1929-30
Hi Richard (and everyone!) You're very welcome. I ordered the Langdon (and a bunch of other titles) from VCI after you mentioned their sale. Placed my ordered towards the end of last month, and received my package two days ago. (That same order included everything from When Comedy Was King to Three ...

Re: HARRY LANGDON AT HAL ROACH: THE TALKIES 1929-30
Thanks for sharing the links to theses reviews Richard, even if the reviewers don't get these movies. I received my copy the other day, and love this set! I've never seen any of these shorts before, and enjoyed them a lot. All of the shorts are enjoyable; even the weakest short (Skirt Sky) is fun. I...
