BEAUX AND ERRORS (1938) Edgar Kennedy

I frankly like the Edgar Kennedy RKO series the best in the 1937-40 period when they weren't doing the "Average Man" Family format. He's usually working with Billy Franey and there are some fine comedies in these years. here's one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TC_TvkPiCSk RICHARD M ROBERTS

Re: NEAT AND TIDY (1930) Monty Banks Directed Comedy Short

Apologies, Richard. I just saw that you already posted this a little while back. I had checked under the title, not Reeves. Ah well, doesn't hurt to have it filed under both. It's a fun little short which I believe was originally titled THE JERRY-BUILDERS in Britain, and it takes on virtually every...

DUMMIES (1928) Larry Semon

Pretty good copy of Larry Semon's next-to-last short comedy, unfortunately with Italian subtitles, but ir makes okay sense:

Re: Richard M.Roberts Banned from Nitrateville

It’s been fun watching the NNN’s (Nameless Nitratevile Ninnies) spit and dribble over themselves about Birchard’s booting, once again, that good old double standard set by hypocrite Mike Gebert who’ll allow no bashing of any folk but me on his site, as he clucks clucks at any group that would throw ...

Re: Richard M.Roberts Banned from Nitrateville

Well, there seems to be some further cackling over at the Nitratevile Henhouse today about Birchards toss from over here, but this is a classic from Mr. Gebert himself: "I am sure there are people at that site who know so much more than any of us about silent comedy, so it's baffling why the ma...

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!

Earlier this year, I attended my first Slapsticon, for which I am truly grateful. I am thankful for being among the humans who got to see SCARED STIFF, and for the sheer number of books being written by members of this board; some of those titles will doubtless be under the Christmas tree, others c...

Re: Richard M.Roberts Banned from Nitrateville

Well, after the silliness here this morning, you knew you could expect this: http://nitrateville.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16336 But it does seem pretty telling that Birchard has to steal someone elses words because he has nothing original of his own. For some reason he wanted to get thrown off to...
