The eyes have it . . .
Danny! Good to see you back! And you really "nailed" Warren William -- great job! I've meant to say this before, but I think one of the strengths of your work is that you get the eyes right. I took a course in cartooning and caricature some years ago, and I found through trial and error th...

I've been doing a lot of reading on the recent bailout and how it affects the stock market and the world economy, and there's a lot of misinformation out there. Let me see if I can shine any light here . . . The most important thing I've learned is that the recent $700 million bailout is aimed at Ma...

I've just watched Female , Someone mentioned on here that it has an objectionable ending and I have to agree. I'm all for romantic films but a woman who potentially throws everything away for the right man, all the power and influence she's built up, her workers security. I won't say anymore I don'...

Not at all, Carrie. Actually, I'm glad you that you did -- I've been cutting back on my computer time these days, since it's beginning to interfere too much with Real Life, but I'm still striving for balance. To answer some of your other queries, it's MAY-lin Hamilton (if it's the same as actor Mahl...

Jacques Tur-NEWER, Tur-NOWER, TUR-newer, TUR-nower -- or some other possibility? And was Maurice's last name pronounced similarly, or did the son break from the father? This one's tricky. I've heard the name pronounced both tour-NER and like Turner, but the actual pronunciation is somewhere between...

Question-- I watched a film not long ago, from TCM, I thought it starred Ginger Rogers. Anyway, it was these two young people who fall in love, but before they can marry, a rich girl butts in and marries the man out from under the star. The man owns a gas station. And instead of being angry, the fe...

Hey! Quit dissing Bert & Bob! (and a few others, too)
To be honest, threads like this one are like fingernails on a chalkboard to me, mainly because they bring out the worst in certain people. I'd rather hear about what they like rather than what they don't like. Too many dislikes strung together are depressing, and after a while, it seems that everybo...

What I really find amusing is reading the credits for any toons made these days and seeing how many differnt voice actors they require. Mel would do the whole dang thing and then come back for more, with each voice feeling fresh and perfectly appropriate to the character. Mel, you da' man. Indeed h...

More early talkies coming from Warner Home Video?
Ron Hutchinson of the Vitaphone Project posted this at the Al Jolson Forum (in response to a query about a DVD of THE SINGING FOOL), and I thought I'd repost it here: As I worked with WB on THE JAZZ SINGER DVD set, I can give a little perspective on next plans. THE JAZZ SINGER set was never going to...

Okay, here goes . . .
Just a few more, Mr. Brownlow: 1. Since the moviegoing public initially didn't want sound pictures -- and proved very resistant even into the late 1920s -- why do you think sound took over so quickly and completely during 1929-30? 2. Silent features from the 1913-20 period seem so much faster paced ...
