Review for DIZZY & DAFFY is up. It's an interesting film that I am sure metaldams will have fun with because it's a baseball film!

I spent about 2 hours between today and yesterday going through the Shemp oeuvre; it was amazing. There used to be about 10 of his solo efforts (where he had an actual, not-bit role) that were NOT available somewhere on the internet to watch. Fast forward about two years... I have already run out. Absolutely astounding how strong the push is to keep their films off the web.

Believe me though when I say there is still nevertheless plenty to discuss!

Tomorrow's review will be fun and traumatic.

I hope the day comes soon when you can buy DVD’s and review more than what’s online. The Shemp Vitaphone comedy collection sets are fabulous. About maybe 10 or so shorts are very good and far superior to his Columbia solo days. I hope you’ll eventually see some more of this stuff, especially A PEACH OF A PAIR.

I'm taking this week off from posting new reviews. Next week I hope to do one on both Tuesday and Saturday to make up for it.

Take your time, I know the way life can sometimes get in the way of these reviews.

Next Abbott and Costello review tomorrow night. I have the latest film watched and even the first couple of paragraphs written up but my brain is too jellied to carry on. Will finish tomorrow night when my energy levels are better - and the review will be better for it.

Tonight I will be posting a thread for the next film, BEER AND PRETZELS. Lots of fodder for good discussion on this one.

Next Abbott and Costello review tomorrow night. I barely got any sleep last night and would not do my best review. Looking forward to it, as it’s a good one.

Review for Abbott and Costello’s THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES is now up. If you haven’t seen it I hope you seek it out. If you have, please comment, it really is one of their better films.

Since all of the Laurel and Hardy movies are available to talk about, Will Abbott and Costello's first movie One Night in the Tropics get added too.

I didn’t do HOLLYWOOD PARTY or PICK A STAR and gave the pre team silents one thread with the briefest of. write ups for each film. Those first two films are the equivalent of ONE NIGHT IN THE TROPICS in that Stan and Ollie aren’t real stars in them - in spite of the fact they get too billing in the former.

That said, I’m considering doing ONITT and even 30 FOOT BRIDE OF CANDY ROCK once the proper Bud and Lou films are done. We’ll see.
