Okay, back to the other 3 days, 23 hrs 50 min of Slapsticon

Re: SLAPSTICON 2010 to unveil lost and unknown Chaplin Film

Great research Michael! Thank you, Rob. First, I have to say I owe everything I've done - literally, everything - to Bo Berglund; specifically to his landmark article "The Day the Tramp Was Born" in the Spring 1989 issue of Sight and Sound . From that, I gleaned the best way to document T...

Believe me, I hear these dulcet tones more than all and I certainly get tired of hearing them. I just wish that interview had gotten up sooner. It m...

Re: Roberts on the Radio: Slapsticon

Hey Gang, if anyone had trouble with the download on the STOLEN MOMENTS interview yesterday (apparently there was some skipping in the first part of the interview) It now has been fixed and plays fine. Feel free to give it another shot.

Re: Silent Comedy Mafia.com's 1st Anniversary

Well Jeez, I know we're all abuzz with other stuff going on, but I'd think a few congratulations were in order. We've done quite a bit this first year, a little celebrating should be posted! In other words, I CAN'T HEAR YOUUUUUUUUU! RICHARD M ROBERTS ( who celebrated the 1st Anniversary of Silent Co...

Re: Frame Grab from A Thief Catcher (Feb 19, 1914)

"Laugh and Grow Fat" might become Slapsticon's new advertising slogan. I always seem to lose a few pounds during Slapsticon, it's the hardest week I work all year. And in this weight-crazed and frequently humorless nation, I think this might scare some serious skinnies off. Better yet, si...

Silent Comedy Mafia.com's 1st Anniversary

Hey Gang,

I know we're all too darn busy being exited about the Chaplin Discovery and the Slapsticon, but hey, it just dawned on me that June 1st was our First Anniversary!

Happy Birthday to Us.
