Re: CAMPING (1917) Victor Moore
Very entertaining snippet. For a stage comedian, and one whose most memorable films were in the sound era, he made some funny silent comedies.

Re: Nitrateville Comment Dept: Laurel and Hardy Year One
Oh, bushwa! For corn's sake (as Gildersleeve's nephew Leroy would say), buy what's available when it comes out. Your Charley Chase set, for example. The fact that EVERYTHING wasn't available all at once didn't stop me from buying volume one when it dropped. If people have this attitude, what incenti...

Re: TWISTED TRIGGERS (1926) Wally Wales, Jean Arthur
The print quality was excellent. I especially liked the camera pan behind the opening titles. Here's a good example of a relatively obscure film that's in great shape because it wasn't reissued 35 times. Also interesting to see Richard Thorpe's name on one of the endless budget pictures he helmed be...

Frankly, I thought she looked more like a slimmed down Nita Naldi with less eyeshadow. That being said, I don't know who it was, but I didn't think it was either of the stars named.

Re: Mafia Webinar: NO TIME FOR COMEDY
This webinar was especially entertaining from the perspective of it seeming more like a general conversation among film fans. I mean the kind where someone says, "That reminds me of so and so", and the discussion goes off on a whole different tangent. It's a good way to broaden the scope a...
