William, this is exactly the way you should view this whole thread, and I think it is the way most of the normal or reasonably normal folk who read our site would and should look at it, and that probably includes the majority of the population of nitwitvile, however small that population is these da...

https://www.nitrateville.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=36933 As usual, don't expect the correct answer on Nitwitvile, or anyone to actually listen to commentaries or even read the production credits or the titles. Mr. Pyle would have learned that it indeed was the British release version of THE WAY OF...

Re: NItrateville Nerdumb Slapping Dept: Trailer: Charley Chase at Hal Roach The Late Silents 1927

So the Gebbit decided to try the old foolish ploy of trying to make two wrongs into a right (never works) by actually closing his own thread. Gee, good old American thinking, when it becomes clear everyone can see that you’ve made a mistake, don’t make it right and move on, double down on it! In doi...

Richard, much like Fox-Movietone News, your work speaks for itself. As I'm fond of saying, thanks to people like you, we can continue to have nice things. Aside from Ben Model, Steve Massa, and a few others, there's not many on N'ville that can make that claim. You're welcome William. RICHARD M ROB...

Re: NItrateville Nerdumb Slapping Dept: Trailer: Charley Chase at Hal Roach The Late Silents 1927

The 75% of the time refers entirely on our view of Bitrate. I have not so good eyesight and need to use a LARGE TV for my viewings.

Hey, it looks like we’ve got an old-fashioned flame war going on here! Wheeeeeeeee!!!!!

Nitrateville Latest Stupidity Dept: THE BANDWAGON and ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT

So the Nitwitvile brain trust has declared MGM's classic musical THE BANDWAGON sheer genius, apart from the dreadful acting and story: https://www.nitrateville.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=36748&start=210 So Cyd Charisse is not much of an actress----WHO CARES!!!!----all she has to do is stand the...
