Movietone News: “Percy”: not quite what you might have expected the world's first penis transplant comedy to be like

Saturday, February 26, 2011. 8220;Percy”: not quite what you might have expected the worlds first penis transplant comedy to be like. 1971) makes for a strange and perpexing ninety minutes of entertainment. In the first instance, it's habitually described as a British sex comedy, but it doesn't play that way at all, Robin Askwithy I mean. There are a few good laughs in the first half hour or so, but from then on it goes a bit. In the course of his investigations he learns that Percy had been quite a ladi...

Movietone News: In passing, 2011
http://www.movietone-news.com/2012/03/in-passing-2011.html
Saturday, March 17, 2012. In passing, 2011. When you write predominantly about the films and personalities of decades past, your motivation for writing an appraisal of any one individual is all too often the need to mark their passing. Looking at my labels index I see that I have written 33 obituaries on this site since I started in 2007. There are a further 17 at Carfax Abbey. And still more at Hammer and Beyond. All very different in Barbara Kent. S day, which was, incredibly, long enough ago to make h...

Movietone News: Titanic Week, 4: The silence of experience
http://www.movietone-news.com/2012/04/titanic-week-4-silence-of-experience.html
Monday, April 16, 2012. Titanic Week, 4: The silence of experience. A series of daily posts to commemorate the centenary of Titanic's only voyage. Did I mention I'm on Facebook now? It's a bit late, I know, but it was one of those things I swore I'd never get involved with, like mobile phones, sport or designing women. But then, about a week or so ago, a still, small voice in my head said: "why the hell not? I'm easy to find, under my real name, so do come along and say hello if you've got the time.

Movietone News: December 2011
http://www.movietone-news.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 22, 2011. My All-Time Favourite Movie Books: “Louise Brooks – Portrait of an Anti-Star”. This is one of those books that takes me back instantly to the early nineteen-eighties, when I was just embarking on my love affair with old movies. I had of course never heard of her until she died in 1985, and the BBC showed an old documentary, Diary of a Lost Girl, Pandora's Box. And, charmingly, Overland Stage Raiders. My voice had broken. I didn't know there. Nonetheless, it was a design that ...

Movietone News: November 2011
http://www.movietone-news.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 28, 2011. We see them all the time, and we never notice them. I can't remember the last time the death of a film-maker felt as epoch-defining to me as that of Ken Russell, who has left us at the age of 84. Looking at his career chronologically it is, unquestionably a tragedy. First, apprentice works of enormous sophistication and beauty on television, most notably his sublime portraits of classical composers for the BBC arts series. The Music Lovers, The Boyfriend. A redefinition of ecle...

Movietone News: Movietone's taking a break
http://www.movietone-news.com/2012/07/movietones-taking-break.html
Friday, July 27, 2012. Movietone's taking a break. Thanks to everyone that has read, followed and commented on Movietone over the years - sadly, I can no longer commit to it on a regular basis. So it'll be mainly silence for a while, hopefully interspersed with the occasional return to life, as and when I get an idea and a free moment at roughly the same time. In the meantime, I hope to continue adding films to MN's sister site Movietone Cameos, and the Marx Council and Dennis Wheatley sites will continue.

Though it did reach screens just before the end of 1912, making it the earliest completely surviving Titanic movie. It's also a lot more ambitious than Saved.
