Re: Capitolfest 2014 review
The irony is that several archives have been working to restore the sound version of HIGH TREASON for a number of years, and what bits of it I had seen foretold it to be an early-talkie stinker, but the silent version has been around a long time and is a much better film, stylish, fluid, and Benita ...

Robin Williams Gone
So we come home from the Bill "Wallace" Thompson Memorial Service last night to find out that Robin Williams has killed himself.
Not one of the better days, the few intentionally funny people left seem to be leaving the planet.

Re: Producer Robert Halmi Sr. Dies at 90
The mention of Robert Halmi’s adaptations of literary classics like GULLIVER’S TRAVELS with Ted Danson or CRIME AND PUNISHMENT with Patrick Dempsey reminded me of a running joke Randy Skretvedt and I had for years about a small-town Dinner Theater run by a former Stagecraft Teacher with high-blown p...

Re: Nitratevile Answer Dept: Can You ID this 30's Star
Who's Allen Perkins? He seems to be taking the baton from Sulpy, only he's irate about The Phantom of the Opera. Well, that’s another film that will continually get the screaming voices in the heads of the anals singing in four-part harmony because there were so many versions and re-do’s of that me...

Re: Nitratevile Answer Dept: Can You ID this 30's Star
I still think 36 frames per second for the Mutuals would be the way to go. DBP Yes, but unlike Nitratevile, as we are more tolerant of people's incredibly stupid ideas around here, you will not be banned for that, at least not for the moment because we'll want to make fun of you. Heck, I'd just set...

Re: The Monty Python Backlash has begun......
Eric Idle has written a new theme song for BBC Radio 4's THE INFINITE MONKEY CAGE that is better than the whole damn Python reunion and he finally cops to something I've suspected about him for decades, that he is Britain's new model George Formby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tdN5uEjnKs RICHARD...

Re: Nitratevile Answer Dept: Can You ID this 30's Star
Let's not forget Robert Israel, he got in a couple of really good posts as well. Basically stating..."if ya don't like what's being released, produce your own". Pasquale Ventura Well, that's kinda a valid point when Sulphy wouldn't even put up his self-claimed "complete" version...
