Ten Years of Silent Comedy Mafia.com
Posted: Wed May 29, 2019 3:13 am
Hey Gang,
Not that we pay much attention to this sort of thing, and certainly haven’t over the last handfuls of years, but of recent it has dawned on Mr. Gierucki and I that the tenth Anniversary of Silent Comedy Mafia.com is this week upon us.
I guess that is some sort of a milestone, for a solid decade we have been delivering a rather high standard of written scholarship on film comedy as well as other film-related topics, kept you abreast of internet sightings of rare films and announcements of various projects by those in our midst. We have certainly shown by our policy of making the folk arounds these parts use their real names when they post here that it keeps things on a far more civilized keel than the rest of the pile of screaming looneys known as the internet, in ten years we have had to use our administrator scissors only two or three times, and always only to remove information not ready for public consumption mistakenly leaked by one of our denizens. In that time we have only had to take the key to the clubhouse away from one surly social miscreant who foolishly ignored a number of warnings that he was treading on thin ice and shouldn’t be jumping up and down on it. SCM has been a quiet and peaceful place really, so much more than old Nincompoopvillage (hey, we made up a new name for them just for the occasion) and their nameless nonsense.
So ---(throws a handful of confetti in the air)-----hurrah….Happy 10th Birthday Silent Comedy Mafia……back to work, and remind us when we get to the 20th Anniversary and maybe we’ll say this again.
