I'm working on a few full lengthers right now; but I have some tidbits for you guys. Some GOOD tidbits.
*I kept forgetting to post this but we hit 3,000 hits last month! Considering this is a blog about Silent Films which I don't promote worth a damn well...that's just awesome. THANK YOU ALL!
*So most of the switchover stuff is fixed. If you have a link to us just erase the .blogspot from the address and it should work fine. On that same note if you subscribed to the feed please resubscribe. You can do so on the right hand side. If you haven't subscribed you totally should.
*Guess what came in the mail today...Hollywood Babylon 2! So...its huge...and lengthy...and Im gonna have to debunk the talkie stuff to make it right. This could take awhile. On a related note the original Debunking Hollywood Babylon article has had over a 100 hits alone...again thank you!
*If you're unaware the internet archive has free public domain downloads...which includes a LOT of silents. Not as many as I'd like; but enough to make me happy. They have a lot of D.W. (including a talkie!), some Mabel, a lot of Charlie shorts, and even an Anna May Wong (talkie!)! Click here and you can search at the top of the page for your star of choice. The movies are free to watch, embed, or download and yes its legal which is awesome.
*There will be Rudy Film Fest, Griffith Site, and Silent Film Wiki news shortly. Just need time to post!
*I've forgot to post this for awhile but an Olive Thomas film was found by the Nederlands Film Institute late last year. Bless the Dutch! They plan to restore it and apparently it is in full. The film was "The Glorious Lady" a Selznick production from 1919. We really need a complete filmography on her one of these days...
*There's a new honor project in the works...and it's gonna be fun!
*In addition to the D.W. Griffith, Anna May Wong, and Karl Dane facebook pages there is now a Mabel Normand one. Click here to join. Or just search any of those names on facebook!
