Re: SLAPSTICON 2010 to unveil lost and unknown Chaplin Film
Hey Mr. Hayde, what the holy heck is this "alleged" final Keaton television appearance and the Chaplin Mutual outtakes shown to be "supposedly" belonging to the Killiam Collection? You go find a later TV appearance for Buster shot after October 1965 before you get so questioning ...

Re: "Run 'Em Ragged" (1920) with Snub Pollard
Does anyone have any information on "Run 'Em Ragged", the 1920 Snub Pollard short that was part of the cache of silent films recently uncovered in New Zealand? IMDb suggests it was directed by Charles Parrott, but as we know that site is not always 100% accurate. Does a synopsis (or credi...

Re: help with Ham & Bud pic
I think this is HAM AT THE FAIR (June 8, 1915).

Re: Keaton's The Blacksmith
Is there any print with a shot that explains why the horseshoe over the shop is magnetized? Ben (under 6', esp when standing next to Carli...) Ben, it's not a horseshoe, it's a giant horseshoe magnet. Which is why it's magnetized. You can still buy horseshoe magnets on Amazon and eBay. It's a very ...

Re: Keaton's The Blacksmith
Thanks for the crash course, Richard. In my ignorance, I thought that - Chaplin apart - there was a domestic negative, a foreign negative and that was it. Now that I know better, I can see that my Grand Initial Posting was, to say the least, pathetic. I just KNEW I'd be out of my depth here. Must t...

Re: Keaton's The Blacksmith
Over the years I've seen four different versions of The Blacksmith and I'm wondering if there are any other permutations out there. Also, do any Mafia Members know which is the "definitive" version? By "definitive" I mean the final cut for American release. These are the version...

Slapsticon Hotel Room Rate Ends June 18th
Just a reminder Gang that you have four more days to make your Hotel Reservations at the Holiday Inn to get the $99 a day Special Slapsticon rate. The Holiday Inn was kind enough to add a few more rooms to the block, so there are still some rooms available, but they are going fast and will soon be g...
