The other day, we alerted you to several Carole Lombard items on eBay that were available for immediate purchases.

More from Mr. Welles
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 30, 2013
Nearly a month and a half ago, we provided segments of an upcoming book on recorded conversations with one of Carole Lombard's friends at RKO, Orson Welles (http://carole-and-co.livejournal.com/610122.html). Comments Orson made regarding Carole and other Hollywood notables, issued in advance of the read more

Reblogged from Chaplin-Keaton-Lloyd film locations (and more): As reported in Variety, and in my prior post, film historian Fernando Pena has topped his discovery of a complete version of the Fritz Lang 1927 epic Metropolis with a 9.5 mm print of Buster Keaton’s 1922 short The Blacksmith that contai read more
A year more 'Modern' than originally thought
Carole & Co. Posted by vp19 on Jul 21, 2013
It's nice to remember every now and then that we're not infalliable. My latest lesson in learning humility comes from the Carole Lombard cover above, from Modern Screen magazine. I have seen this attractive portrait of Lombard in the past, listed as coming from its January 1931 issue (as it is by th read more

ScribeHard on Film Posted by ScribeHard on Jun 21, 2013
If there is anything you can accuse Hollywood of doing TOO well, it’s exploiting something popular to the point that it becomes a scourge. When the public gets a taste for a certain flavor, Tinseltown senses it, whets the public’s appetite with more offerings, then force-feeds the mark read more
Want More Dredd? Less Is So Much More With Judge Minty
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jun 6, 2013
Okay, let me just get it out of the way and say up front that I was not a fan of last year’s Dredd. Maybe it’s because I’d already been spoiled by the outrageous humor of Attack the Block and the incredible over-the-top action of The Raid: Redemption, but by the time the adaptation read more

Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Jun 5, 2013
A few days ago I wrote about three different movies whose titles all began with “Bring me the Head of…”. Purely by coincidence, just a day later I ran across this post from Cinephilia and Beyond concerning Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia that I thought I’d share with you read more

Movies Silently Posted by Movies, Silently on May 17, 2013
You know when you are going along minding your own business, thinking of cake or butterflies or something, and someone tells you this: It takes more muscles to frown than to smile. This annoys me. I’m sorry but I don’t like my emotions and facial expressions dictated by strangers. And, read more
