Re: LE VOYAGE SUR JUPITER (1909) Segundo de Chomon
It was a nice change to have the opening scenes set in a real castle, rather than be entirely studio-bound.

Re: Allright, we'll try this again.........
Thank you! Rest assured I'll reserve as soon as the page is up. And a favorable review is to be expected. I just quoted this description verbatim on The Site That Must Not Be Named, if that's ok.

Re: Blackhawk Bulletins Online
Was there ever a thrill to match the arrival of a new Blackhawk Bulletin in the mail? As a teen in the early '70's, the thrill was only matched by the sorrow of picking the ONE film I could afford to buy; although, my dad would often surprise me for Christmas by purchasing the three "nationally...

Re: Dealing With Fan Mail.....
Having been on the firing end of criticism myself (albeit generally not regarding writing about film), I find this kind of writing very therapeutic. One of my pet expressions is "Life is too short to be miserable". Richard, as the old saying goes, you've probably forgotten more about silen...

Re: Super Secret Discount Code for Mack Sennett Vol. 1
For those of you who don't have it yet, I can't recommend it highly enough. Grab it now, it'll be fun prep work for the forthcoming Volume Two. The films look great, the scores are entertaining, and the commentaries are very worthwhile. I can't get over how the Sennett comedies improved from 1916 on...

Re: Nitrateville Answer Dept:Help identify one silent nitrate fragment
Whoops! Guess I was too late. Paul Penna, Jim Roots, and Steve Massa identified the stars (no surprise, there!). The original poster figured out the film's title (probably as I did, by reading your post, Richard).

This doesn't seem to be fully answered yet on N-ville. May I quote you (or anonymously, if you wish)?

Re: Brats - Silent Version
I may be totally wrong, but I think the answer might be "yes". Or at least it exists somewhere. I used to have a silent 8mm Blackhawk print. It seemed to me the intertitles must have been of original vintage, as the font "looked" authentic, as opposed to the more modern looking t...

Re: Keaton's 1947 two-reeler UN DUEL À MORT now on DVD/Blu-Ray
What's the back story of this film? I don't think I've heard of it before. Is the fishing scene by any chance the film that accompanied his stage appearance in MERTON OF THE MOVIES with Jane Dulo?
