Re: Nitratevile Silliness: Silent Film Tragedies
It was me. I dared to question Harris' identity and Danny locked the thread. At least the silliness won't continue there. Sorry, but anyone with a professorship who finds him/herself questioned will do two things: 1) when giving contact information about the institution where s/he works, s/he will ...

Re: Nitratevile Silliness: Silent Film Tragedies
Aw, I missed it. Too busy to check in this morning, I didn’t see what locked down the thread and the Nitratevile Thought Police have already sanitized it.

Re: Nitratevile Silliness: Silent Film Tragedies
proving nothing, there *does* appear to be a Technologico de Monterrey - http://www.itesm.mx/wps/portal?WCM_GLOBAL_CONTEXT= but I can't seem to find a "Mark H. Harris" as a member of its faculty. Working for a technical university myself, I can't say I'm particularly impressed by a "...

Re: From Silent to Sound
Didn't Lupino Lane do very well appearing in British features in the 30's and appearing in live stage productions going early television up until his death?

Re: From Silent to Sound
What was it about banning comics in 1928? Hamilton, Adams.....anyone else? I believe Aaron Burr was acting up at that time... Were these Will Hayes sanctioned bans, trying to show teeth in the production code at a time when they were toothless? Was Chase thumbing his nose at the authorities by givi...

Re: The Posts of Christmas Pasts
The title of the Worst Theatrical Short Ever Made goes to Kids Will be Kids starring the execrable Mischief Makers. http://youtu.be/4ARMaLkneoQ That one gets my vote, followed by the 3-D short DOWN THE HATCH (1953) with Harry Mimmo, which is actually a remake of THE SEA SQUAWK (1925) with Harry Lan...

Re: From Silent to Sound
Why did some clowns make the transition from silent to sound better than others? What were the determining factors? Every reason you could imagine: Luck (mainly), talent, lifespan, tolerance for alcohol, financial and studio status, audience tastes. But time was basically going to be the enemy of m...
