Film Friday Weekly Roundup – The Bat Free Edition
Look, I have an abiding love for the Batman. Really I do. I love all of his comic book iterations, his slightly suspect relationship with Robin, and – c’mon – the B-Man has the most amazing rogues gallery of villains. I even loved the idea of a Christopher Nolan directed Christian Bale Batman. I loved [...]
The Cameraman (1928)
I’ll get to The Cameraman in a sec, just bear with me. Did you watch Lost? I hope, for your sake, that the answer is no. I mean, c’mon – J.J. Abrams, I’m going to kick your ass in a dark alley if I ever get the chance, just for wasting my time. But I [...]
Film Friday Weekly Roundup
This is going to sound terribly narcissistic but often as I’m flipping through my RSS feeds I see a new post and think “Oh that sounds interesting!” Then it turns out to be my own. Wait, maybe that just makes me sound a bit senile? At any rate, and in my defense, there are a [...]
Film Friday Weekly Roundup
Just when you think summer is here to stay the weather devolves into a rainy, chilly mess. Fortunately, Pretty Clever Film Gal has been on a bit of an order/recording bender lately, so she’s got no end of indoor pursuits to keep her amused. Hopefully it’s sunny and warm where you are, but if not [...]
Film Friday – Weekly Round Up
What a beautiful Friday morning it’s shaping up to be! It’s sunny and mild, and I hope you’re not reading this because you’re out in it, or you’re at the Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid classic film weekend hosted by the Toronto Film Society at the Carlton! But obviously you are reading this because [...]
Film Friday – Weekly Roundup
Well now, it’s been a busy week at PCF headquarters. We’re still trying to work out the kinks of the new site and the new email system and the new… well everything. And all the while, planning for an outrageous silent film weekend with two screenings on the same day! That’s a lot of [...]
Film Friday | Weekly Roundup
So seriously, I made a little online tour of the rep cinema’s last night to see what’s on offer this weekend, and felt very disappointed that I can’t go out to a silent film screening this week. The Toronto Silent Film Festival spoiled me! It might just be me and the dvds this weekend, folks. [...]
Keaton – Cops – and the First Baptist Church of Hollywood
It’s always a fun day when I notice a new post at John Bengtson’s completely awesome Silent Locations. And after seeing Buster and Fatty in the high-larious “Backstage” last night at the 1000 Laffs: Playmates screening at Toronto Silent Film Festival, reading about this Keaton location is like a cherry on my sundae! Keaton – [...]
TSFF Preview: 1000 Laffs – Playmates
You do not have a silent film fest until you bring in the clowns and Toronto Silent Film Festival will be delivering the goods on April 1 with 1000 Laffs – Playmates, a program of silent shorts. Silent comedy is, of course, dominated by the holy auteur trinity of Buster Keaton – Charline Chaplin – [...]
An Award for Little Old Me? 7X7 Link Award
First I would like to thank the awesome Shadows and Satin who bestowed this honor (on February 19 and I missed it!), and of course, I want to thank the Academy, and everyone who believed in me even though it flew in the face of all reason… (music swells) AND I must thank Classic Movie [...]
