Kino/Lobster Max Linder Collection
Well, I know this will come as no big surprise, but Serge Bromberg and David Shepard have managed to suck the life out of some classic comedy once again with this new Kino/Lobster Max Linder Collection with their trademark slide-presentation film speeds. As always, a real pity, as the prints look go...

Cinevent Notes Past: MISSISSIPPI (1935) with W. C. Fields
W. C. Fields played Captain Andy in Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein's SHOWBOAT only once, for two weeks in August 1930 for the St. Louis Municipal Opera Company. The lucky people of St. Louis and outlying areas were the only ones to be so blessed as to see a man play a role he was born to play. Th...

Re: The Monty Python Backlash has begun......
The Pythons have always been great self-promoters so you can all slam NEWSWEEK all you want but right now they are the teams greatest allies. They have gotten all of you to talk up the reunion show. If the tickets for their first shows sold out in 43 seconds, the Pythons need neither us nor Newswee...
