Oh, it IS!!! It's just that the best.... ain't very good. As for Grood's version, I'm afraid we'll just have to wait & see. I'm sure if he really has the print he claims to have, we'll see examples out on Youtube (or whatever)!!! |

Well, I don't care if it's perfect and looks like the restored version of CITIZEN KANE - Grood has stolen enough of my money, and I am not QUITE stupid enough to just hand him some more of it. |

Somebody emailed me this several days ago, and I just now looked at it, my interest & enthusiasm in Grood being pretty much non-existent these days. Still, this is telling. Apparently, on his site he posted: Till then your feedback on what to do about FU [I assume he is referring to the Fu Manchu serial, and not "F.U., people who are dumb enough to send me money" - Gravy] is still appreciated, over on that thread wherever it may be. It is getting to the point where the "bootleg lobby" is strong enough that it may be difficult to decide how best to put out such a DVD without it being instantly copied by a bunch of jerks who think the fact that the Squadron and its members investing thousands of dollars in a project that other more positive and honest serial fans also sincerely support is all designed for their benefit, and the solution of what to do with FU may apply to other rare material we are about to put out as well. * * * * * Uh-huh. So those of us who sent him money and got ripped off and then complained are "jerks" who are not "positive" or "honest serial fans". Yeah, let's all send him more money. |

Gravy, For all intents and purposes "Grood" is a non-entity. The VCI version is decent enough for me and even if I were not banned from his site I wouldn't bother buying his version of "Drums of Fu Manchu". Probably the smartest thing I did was not get involved in the "Masked Rider" fiasco where a lot of you guys got a ripped off royally. Barcroft |

Grood is not honoring his promise to release Fu AGAIN? And he's also not releasing other unspecified stuff? Pass the smelling salts. And of course it's somebody else's fault -- the "pirate lobby." I wonder what imaginary body they lobby in? Congress has been busy with health care, so it can't be there.My ten year old son could lie better than Eric does...and I always knew when he was lying too. Barcroft, old pal, you're barred from the site as well? We should start a club. Since most of us are villains, why not call it "The Undesirables?" |

He's called us "Insane Video Pirates", which is kind of a variation on me calling him a "Lying, Thieving Prick", I think. |

I hate to be the one to say it, but he DOES lie and steal, and IS a prick, but we don't pirate videos. As to insane, I guess the jury is still out. |

Panzer the Great & Terrible, I was barred right after the Serial Fest last May when Grood ask for feedback. Besides me he also barred Ace Drummond and my son-in-law SOB. That incident prompted the 3 of us to start the Serial Family Chat Room. And starting this year we're having an annual Serial Family Reunion so that we can show a complete serial plus selected chapters not limited to PD serials as was the case with Grood. We also will show some b-westerns and b-movies as well as the computerized Serial Jeopardy which had been the mainstay at the other fest that was designed by SOB. For the first year is was decided to do by invitation only, and, so far we have 25 people committed to attending the fest this year; so this is something we hope to build on. Barcroft |

Cliffhanger Fest is May 13-16 in E. Rutherford, NJ, about a 20 minute bus ride from the Port Authority bus terminal in Manhattan. It isn't a convention like all the others, as much as it is an insane 16 hour a day party. One of the crazy traditions is all first timers are required to listen to the famous "duck joke." Don't ask about it, as no one will tell you, only Ace Drummond is allowed to do that. One year I was walking down the street with a couple of my friends, and they actually went up to a cop, and told him to arrest me. |

Apparently, someone has been douching with a certain copy of Fu! I hope it wasn't Nora Charles!!! |
