Re: SENNETT and CHAPLIN MUTUALS available for pre-order!
Just to add my tuppence worth... Most USA Blu-Ray releases don't play on UK Blu-ray machines. The region codes are easily hacked on DVD releases but not on BD. This could prohibit a lot of European sales for Flicker Alley. Which, for an item like this would be sizeable. It's Flicker Alleys decision...

It sure does, didn't watch it that far, but it's easy to spot, it's the point Oliver Hardy dissapears.

Re: SENNETT and CHAPLIN MUTUALS available for pre-order!

As to the decision to go Blu-ray, bravo! I have noticed that some films that have required a great deal of restor...

Re: Cinevent Notes Past: THE BARGAIN (1914) with William S.
[Hang on to your hats, kids. I'm about to defend a Bush] Richard, I feel you need to cut Mr. Bush some slack. While he may not be much of a pronosticater concerning the durability of one of the movies great genres - the Western - he comes to his opinions honestly by one who has experienced and endu...

Cinevent Notes Past: THE BARGAIN (1914) with William S. Hart
“This is a weird spot on the Paramount program. It is a bold, I might even say reckless attempt to revive a style of motion picture that we had hoped was a thing of the past. Old-timers well remember the days when exchanges and newspapers cataloguing films divided them into “Drama”, “Comic”, and “we...

Re: Nitrateville Correction Dept: MY SON JOHN
I love it Pasquale, you post the Greenbriar Article over at Lightweightville and Larusso can't be bothered to read it, facts hurt his eyes (and apparently his ego).

Nitrateville Correction Dept: MY SON JOHN
Hey, haven't really bashed Nitratevile of late, too damn busy doing more important things and it's devolved into such a nest of nerd nattering that it's not really worth my time reading all that hard, but I saw that Ed Larusso continues to show his lack of actual film knowledge today in another unin...

Indeed it is! Another John Wayne Educational appearance has been found! Congrats Steve!

Re: Silent Comedies from Belgium
Hey Steve,
Great stuff and great work, but can you suggest to them that they transfer these thing a little faster? THE DRAW-BACK would have been a lot funnier at 24 fps.
