This months programming has been really exciting to me - unfortunately I can't discuss them now because I'm too busy to watch them so they will be my January entertainment. And in addition to Wellman, how about Una Merkel day? What a treat.

Hello, Mick - What a great topic to have spent time studying and writing about. I have become a pre-code fan in the last 10 years and only learned the term a couple of years back. Although it is supposed to refer to specific dates, the term pre-code seems to be more qualitative than quantitative in ...

Mr. E, It is an honor to meet you in cyberspace after having read your books Flashback and Speed of Sound. I look forward to reading some of the biographies. I thought it was very interesting that Edison was not interested in pursuing the patents of his first machines overseas. In your opinion, how ...

Prepare for some crabbing... I received my last three copies late with the glossy cover torn and the outer cover missing. I'm blaming the USPS (not that I can do anything about it). Now I realize I've missed my renewal deadline. I just renewed last week and the best they tell me I can hope for is t...

(Hi, talkietime, it's your old friend, the gremlin, here!) I have to say the refurbished Panasonic I bought off ebay with a limited warranty has been fantastic so far. Their IT department is very helpful by phone, also. Especially if you find yourself crawling around in a pile of wires unsure of wha...

Hollis - Thanks for the 'Hi"! Re: Our Gang: I think that was their original name, then they were rereleased under Little Rascals when Hal Roach bought the rights back from MGM. It's a rather confusing story. I know they are thought of more as television than cinema, but they were originally fil...

Hollis - most of the things we order from Amazon come in about a week from all of the US. Of course, when you want something desperately, it takes a little longer! I was able to order a copy of Flashback and The Speed of Sound through the library system WorldCat and they are coming from instate. I h...

I am also a huge Austen fan and will see this movie when I can, despite some hesitation. On a side note, did anyone read or see The Jane Austen Book Club? My book club read it because we thought it would be clever to read it( as well as an Austen novel) and go see the movie of the same name or Becom...
