Ken Nordine RIP
I just heard that Ken Nordine passed away a couple of days ago. A one of a kind, great radio voice, Chicago Broadcasting legend, and his WORD JAZZ albums and poems were classics in "back of the head" originality. He actually narrated the pilot to what would become the SLAPHAPPY series and ...

Re: Larry Semon DVDs
Here are the two Grapevine sets: http://www.grapevinevideo.com/larry_semon_1.html http://www.grapevinevideo.com/larry_semon_2.html And I second the "stay away from the Silent Hall of Fame" comment from Mr. Farr, they are gouging on product that can be gotten better and cheaper elsewhere, a...

NItrateville Total Jackassery: Reviving a ten-year old thread

He was one of the major forces in film preservation with the Vitaphone Project and a genuinely nice man, and our community suffers a terrible loss from his passing. It was due to his diligent efforts t...
