Well, I have a print of FOLLOW THE CROWD, it was going to be run at Slapsticon 2011 this year. I think BEAT IT exists as well, and though I don;t recall seeing any of the others on the list right off the bat, I'd wager a number of them do survive in 9.5 prints or other wise. Lloyd one-reelers seem t...

I recall some discussion in the past - somewhere, anyway - about the relative merits of the two American Film-Index volumes by Einer Lauritzen and Gunnar Lundquist. Any thoughts from the group as to their reliability? Frank Those books are rife with errors, frequently made-up credits with no basis ...

and what evidence have we that Frank Capra "partially directed" TRAMP TRAMP TRAMP"? For that matter, what evidence have we that COUNSEL ON DE FENCE is "riotous?" Michael Well, the several times I have ran it for audiences, it has always gone over rather hilariously. RICHARD...

The Cinematheque Francaise has recently launched La Triangle Archives (1915 - 1919), a website devoted to the Triangle Film Corp that has digitised archival documents, and better yet film clips. Here's a link to the page for the clips: http://www.cinematheque.fr/sites-documentaires/triangle/rubriqu...

It's the masochistic side of my filmic interests I don't indulge in much, aside from my Franco e Ciccio fascination. A weekend with HOOTENANY A GO-G0, THE FAT SPY, MONDO BALARDO and HERCULES IN NEW YORK seems a must in the near future! That, and I just got SKIDOO in the mail ... ;) Chris Thats just...

I ordered two Busters - - one for my friend Andrea Gutsche, another for Nico Cartenstadt. Both people who love Buster and are 100% capable of buying their own copy, but are hesitant to watch any of Buster's later films that are so "beneath him". But I could just burn copies, and then ever...
