Richard, you're missing more stupid comments by entredeuxguerres over at Nitratevile. In a discussion about "The Vagabond King", he makes this statement about the print: "the thought that a restored print molders in a university archive disgusts & enrages me." Gad, Nitratevi...

Well I recognized Edward Everett Horton and Jack Duffy and I think the heavy set guy with Duffy is Walter Hiers? Not too sure, the guy in the flooded back seat looks Al St John. The clip of Edward Everett Horton looks like it's from DAD'S CHOICE. The silent comedy experts here can tell more. Am sur...

So Richard, I'm guessing that you missed the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination, the 50th anniversary of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan this last weekend, and you'll be skipping out on remembrances of the 100th anniversary of the First World War later this year.

Hey, it's an excuse to put on a show. Chaplin is getting screened all over this spring because of his 100th anniversary in film. If it gets somebody interested in his Keystone period, or Chaplin at all, that's great. I'm screening Kid Auto Races at Venice at our Sons of the Desert screening this we...

Well, I have to say I’m proud that not one Mafian jumped to the urge, as many clowns on the Internet did, to trumpet and hoorah the 100th Anniversary of Charles Chaplin coming to the Movies on February 2nd. It wasn’t like Charlie was even the first great screen comedian, I didn’t see anyone celebrat...
