Bonga, if you're still around these parts, can you answer a long-standing question? We've been told for years the reason you don't attend a certain film festival is because a complete serial was once shown. And that you would never go to a festival that would show a complete serial again. Fact or fiction? Edited by Black Tiger, Oct 14 2009, 07:30 PM.

What nonsense. Who came up with that? I happily watched both Zorro's Black Whip and Crimson Ghost at the first Serialfest. I came back for the second serialfest, where I believe the complete Batman and Robin was shown, and at least the first half of the godawful Secret of Treasure Island, which was kind of like watching four or five complete serials. I haven't been to serialfest for a few years because I live 3000 miles away, work, and can't easily find the time at the time the thing is going on. I'd happily go to another if the opportunity arose. I think I did at the first serialfest opine that an intermission was necessary to meet the technical requirements of the Serial Squadron oath, which at the time said that members would not watch a complete serial in one sitting. I got up, peed, drank, and came back, so my conscience was clear. Or were you asking why I no longer go to the Stripperflick Festival? Yeah, that was because when I got there, they were showing the complete Clutching Hand. At least, that's what it said on the marquis. I presume it was the serial . . . |

Try and take a guess, Bonga. We missed your presence, and wish you would post more often here and in our new site. |

I agree...come back Bonga. Anyone that calls his wife "Captive Wild Woman" has got to be fun.  The most I can come up with is "Mrs. Smiley".  Smiley |
