Re: [MOPO] RIP, Gene Stavis

he was an interesting fellow - only met him a few times (he lived in the Waterside towers on Manhattan's East Side) -he had so many 16mm films that the structural integrity of his section of the building was called into question. A big man (even bigger than me) - I often wondered how his health

quite a few stars of yesteryear lived here (in Whitestone) - Bow's house overlooks "Beechhurst Beach" - Pickford's was across the street - have never been able to get an exact address for Goddard or Mario Lanza - but Harry Richman's house (which he bought from Oscar Hammerstein I) is still

Re: [MOPO] Alamo to screen classic, restored movies | Austin Movie Blog

I wonder which running length they are restoring it to? when they went to do a digital transfer of the roadshow version used for the Laser Disk (and VHS) - the rejuv process had damaged it - so the DVD is the longest general release version - but shorter than the roadshow. did they find another

Re: [MOPO] LASER DISCS

the poor poor Phantom - the 1925 version is worth tracking down - the best copy of it I ever saw was a Universal show-at-home 16mm. when they re-cut it and added the sound bits - it may have been watchable, but that version doesn't exist (a few of the sound bits have turned up however). sadly,

Re: [MOPO] LASER DISCS

There must be a dozen variations of Phantom - still there seems to be no complete 1929 version also - onlytwo of the color segments seem to have survived. As for Alamo - there was a VHS release of the roadshow version - I just think it plays better than the release version. Sad thing is - they

Re: [MOPO] Brokeback Mountain

oh brother! - I helped put together an underground video called the Lavender Lens (you'll see my name on the credits) - it explored, in a light hearted way - gay themes and actors in mainstream Hollywood films from the silent era through the 60's - a few of the producers were insistent on the
