By the way, don’t sell Mr Harris short. He’s a big boy and knows how to handle himself and deal with criticism.

Disappointing that you can’t handle a difference of opinion. That’s what makes the world go round. No one attacked Mr Harris, just challenged his review, which he published publicly. That’s the same feedback all of us receive in the public forum.

Diversity of opinion is a good thing. No one was personally attacked. Your readers are very sophisticated and, hence, very passionate about films. No one’s opinion is any better than anyone else’s.

I think they already turned down your offer. If we’re going to do work on Laurel & Hardy, let’s be serious. I’ll offer my own time free of charge to help you. Let’s please work together to make a contribution to classic film comedy!

Robert, I think what you’re not understanding is that this new Blu-Ray release was undertaken as a result of world class restorations to make them as complete as possible, adding back missing footage, restoring full aperture images, and making them look and sound as close as possible to the...

Robert Harris, Did you even read your review and understand how it would be perceived? By any reasonable measure, it is a SCATHING REVIEW WITHOUT MERIT. Readers of a DVD review want to understand what is different about this release vs previous DVDs. We shouldn’t have to pull these details...

Robert Harris, with all due respect, from your review it’s obvious that you didn’t do more than a cursory review of this excellent new Laurel & Hardy release. Without a doubt it’s the definitive restoration done by world class restorers at UCLA & the Library of Congress. Since your comments...
