Congratulations Louie; you are the man for the job! Even your name begins with an el.

I hope you guys didn't get one of those cheapo Mayan calendars; mine has already run out of pages.

As I look back at Christmases past, I recognize that many of the people on this board had a hand in getting rare comedies under my tree in the form of easily accessible DVDs. I want to thank you all for those efforts, and wish you the best in 2012. Now I must go; it is nearly time to open my Christm...

I've got this all figured out: If I catch anyone breaking out of the package to procure the mortgage to Mother Peep's shoe, they will have to perform "The Barber Of Seville" in my opera house, or beg for coins on the street.

Looking at the other irons you've got in the fire, I'm betting they will all share that honour. Speaking for myself, and presumably other members of th...

This is arguably the most important find since Abbott & Costello's CHAMPS OF THE CHASE turned up at 38 seperate yard sales in a single weekend.

With several of his films still missing, who can say with absolute certainty that he didn't? Remember, before DUCK SOUP was located, many people wondered why it took Roach so long to "team" Laurel & Hardy. Perhaps he shot "Johnny's New Car" for Sol Lesser, or maybe that's the...
