Larissa’s big bet

A great game was played by all, but Larissa Kelly won it by returning to the tactic that served her so well last May — betting big in Final Jeopardy! In fact, she bet it all, and it’s a good thing, too. And now it’s on to the championship game!

HOLLYWOOD: A Celebration of the American Silent Film

Hollywood DVDThis post is being done to see if anybody notices. The Thames TV documentary series HOLLYWOOD: A Celebration of the American Silent Film, by Kevin Brownlow and David Gill was begun twenty years ago. It is out of print, and nowhere to be found that I can see, except for scattered VHS copies for sale. A 4-disc DVD edition that had been planned apparently never went into production, and there is no tentative release date for it.

I am considering posting the complete HOLLYWOOD series, transferred from LaserDisc video. The earliest I would be able to begin doing this is mid-April. If you’re someone who would be interested in seeing this — or you would like to prevent me from putting the series online — please drop me a note at the address on my “Contact” page. Thanks.
