Silent Life 'half silent movie' by Vlad Kozlov

I am going to vomit if I see one more British tabloid tout Vlad Kozlov's renamed Rudolph Valentino smear as something akin to The Artist (one example, and its not the only one: http://t.co/T4TFQiau).  The minute The Artist started getting buzz I found several press releases popping up linking them.  Kozlov is a one man operation along with his aptly named girlfriend, Natacha.  A few years ago (2006) he made "DayDreams of Rudolph Valentino"...a weird short film that hinted at Rudy being gay/bi, included a long dreamy orgy sequence, and tons of overwrought acting that makes The Artist's talkie nightmare look restrained.  He had it on youtube and after calling him out on it he removed it, he also was selling DVDs for $30 on Ebay for awhile.

I met him a few years ago when he was planning what was at the time called "Death of a Sheik" which he has now renamed Silent Life.  He looked me straight in the eye and told me Valentino and Ramon Novarro had a brief affair (at a time impossible by either of their histories) and that Novarro had given him the flags of Falcon Lair as a reminder of such a sexy time filled weekend...never mind Natacha made them.  I literally got up and left...I couldn't believe anyone could say such things and take themselves seriously.

After that good ol harassment of Valentino fanatics started against me he bombarded my forum (which is now closed) and other Rudy forums with a several paragraph rant about how I was rude and wrong and tra la la...never mind actually proving his claims.  With David Bret taking his place he faded into obscurity until now.

I think nothing makes me sicker, literally physically sick, then the fact that we could never get through to any press for Affairs Valentino, a 10 year researched biography on Rudy, and yet Kozlov can't get mentioned several times with a film that no one could have possibly seen.  Making Rudy gay is always good business, people would rather hear 'dirty' stories about stars, something they did that was secretive and scandalous no matter how much the facts dispute it (and frankly I find it insulting to gay people, equating gay with dirty and scandalous when its a perfectly natural thing.)

I have been very touched by how many hits I've gotten since I put the site back, and how they were mostly debunking myths like 'oh silent stars failed in talkies'.  But I'm not blind enough to know the people in power who could help won't, and most people would rather look the other way than get David Bret's wrath on them.  Right now he's harassing the parents of a missing child, so I'm sure he doesn't have much time for his old haunts (and even if he does I don't care, I quit reading that stuff literally a year ago.  Its there, it always will be until justice is served.)

Nothing makes me sicker than the fact that here we are again, silents are getting a moment and facts are hidden in favor of scandal and good ol boy relationships.  This is exactly why I will not be updating this blog.
