It’s been fun watching the NNN’s (Nameless Nitratevile Ninnies) spit and dribble over themselves about Birchard’s booting, once again, that good old double standard set by hypocrite Mike Gebert who’ll allow no bashing of any folk but me on his site, as he clucks clucks at any group that would throw ...

Well, there seems to be some further cackling over at the Nitratevile Henhouse today about Birchards toss from over here, but this is a classic from Mr. Gebert himself: "I am sure there are people at that site who know so much more than any of us about silent comedy, so it's baffling why the ma...

Earlier this year, I attended my first Slapsticon, for which I am truly grateful. I am thankful for being among the humans who got to see SCARED STIFF, and for the sheer number of books being written by members of this board; some of those titles will doubtless be under the Christmas tree, others c...

For some reason he wanted to get thrown off to...

. . . this was a thread meant to help plug Grapevine’s great product, not an opportunity for you to split pointless hairs in your grudge against me. Go take your nap. RICHARD M ROBERTS Richard, far be it from me to crimp Jack Hardy's sales. I urge everyone to be the first on their block to pick up ...

Again, haven't done this in awhile, here's the notes for one of the really fun Demille Pictures Corp Films from the late 20's: Screwball Comedy is really a genre’ generated in the 1930’s and 40’s, but like all so-called, after-the-fact film classifications, it finds many antecedents in the previous ...

I have absolutely nothing to add to everyone's detective work here but is that Peggy Pearce (or any of her various monickers) as the gal Chester Conklin flirts with at the opening of BETWEEN SHOWERS (14)? No, it's not Pearce. David Robinson (from Mitry) credits Sadie Lampe as Conklin's girlfriend i...
