Re: Happy Thanksgiving!

Richard, I am truly sorry & apologize for any offence given. I never see much "Hooray For Harold" in our group outside of the McFadden clan. I know that you have some HL one-reelers, & I have truly enjoyed every one that you have shared. Being wrong about thinking someone didn't ca...

Re: Happy Thanksgiving!

A Very Happy Thanksgiving. Richard, I know that you aren't a huge Lloyd fan, but the turkey on the trolley sequence in that one screams holiday almost as much as the later scenes of wanting to get rid of one's In-Laws. Also, I asked for "The Max Davidson Collection" for Christmas. The pack...

Re: Tell your friends

I am so sorry that MMI is doing their best to such every stolen ounce of blood out of Laughsmith. I bought both disc sets and would highly recomend them both. I am glad that I bought them years back when they were first out. Having to do without these is sad, but knowingly buying them from theves an...

Re: Slapsticon 2011 Cancelled

The only reason that I hadn't registered yet was the fact that I wasn't sure about the deal with the 2 hotels, and I have had too much going on here in PA to investigate it. I had it my list to e-mail one of the Godfathers today to find out if one or the other was better for the festival going forwa...

Re: Laughsmith Arbuckle set back in print?

It now says that there are only 17 left in stock.
Where have these been hidden?

I like the "Two-fer" that they do with this one, combining it with David Kalat's Chase collecytion . Somewhat of a Slapsticon combo ( and I wish more folks knew that!).

Re: Slapsticon 2011 program schedule

A Harold Lloyd short AND Professor Beware ( Which I think is an underrated film amoungst his last few).

Re: Our Gang Silents on TCM

Paul, Are you still going forward with the Our Gang set with your new company? I was excited to see some of these ( some of which I had known the titles, and some story, but had never gotten to see the short). That said, I only saw bits and pieces, but quickly became annoyed by the same small group ...

Question - Lupino Lane

Another question......................about Lupino Lane.

Why "change and flip" his name from Henry Lupino to Lupino Lane?
He performed with his brother Wallace Lupino, so it was rather obvious that "Lupino" ws his last name.

Any idea why he changed it?
