Nicky, I've seen that listing but was wondering how the performance is, considering it's in a cinema, not a theatre, more a multimedia performance with...
I'm seeing it tomorrow so I'll let you know. It's got rave reviews from when it was on in Birmingham. At least it being a cinema, the seats will be a lot more...

It does involve unfinished soup though so it's practically like watching a decent film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0015648/ in case you're wondering Nicky ... ...
Is that the Peter Kobel book "Silent Movies"? Brownlow, I think, wrote only the introduction. I don't think he's published anything since his biography of...

Never got PAID for the Lean bio? Pray explain! You're right about the other docs. I was thinking of stand-alones. I met Kevin B years ago at Telluride. My copy...

I believe the publisher went bust first....I cherish my copy of TPGB, and that's without the signatures. I always think the people who laud BP so much are...
Do go on?? I didn't think Intolerance was very highly rated...it flopped on release (A Pacifist epic just as the Lusitania sank wasn't going to play well in...
