Re: SMILEAGE GUARANTEED HAL ROACH BOOK ON SALE NOW!

Got my copy yesterday. Saturday I went to the Cinecon dealers rooms and no sooner turned the corner and came face to face with the author himself, Richard M. Roberts who just happened to have a batch of his books for sale. Lucky me, meeting Richard and buying an autographed copy. The book is everyth...

Mack Sennett footage -Youtube

Found this footage of clips on YouTube titled Mack Sennett Ref: 2884. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dBxTjG6tvw Lots of great scenes with Larry Semon in the mix as well.

Re: Nitrateville General Jack-Assery: A Load of Jitter-Judde

I purchased the CUT TO THE CHASE DVD as well and am as happy with it as you are. For myself, when engrossed in the entertaining comedies the windowboxing isn't even an issue-or noticable. It's an excellent set and I agree, a wonderful companion to BECOMING CHARLEY CHASE. Both sets offer some truly r...

Re: Nitrateville General Jack-Assery: A Load of Jitter-Judde

It's always the same individuals who watch a DVD release and spend more time looking for problems than actually watching the movie and enjoying it. Constant complains over the silliest miner details that others never notice.
