Re: A Harry Langdon Mystery
An exciting discovery; this one could be hiding in plain sight in a can that everyone assumes is an Our Gang short. I hope many prints were struck. Dave Denton said the same thing to me the other night, all archives should immediately check their cans marked "Mail and Female" now to make ...

Re: The Monty Python Backlash has begun......
That's right, bud. BTW, there's no "all those other comedians" - just the two, Keaton and Chaplin. Aww, come on MIke, there must be other comedians you dislike, don't tell me you've seen them all? You've already admitted to disliking the Pythons, Chaplin,and Keaton, so that's three right ...

Orson Welles Magic Trick (1978)
The only thing worth watching from the first David Copperfield Special. Orson Welles doing some good old fashioned mentalism:

A Harry Langdon Mystery
Here’s an interesting item I came across recently in a Pathepictures catalog of non-theatrical rental films selected for religious, educational and social groups dating from 1925: http://lantern.mediahist.org/catalog/catalogueofpathe00path_0046 Note the Harry Langdon film listed as MAIL AND FEMALE, ...

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...
