Has Trev discontinued the sales of his B movies, westerns and serials. His website hasn't been available for a couple of days.

I think he posted here recently that he was traveling. IIRC he shuts down his website when he travels. I'm sure he will confirm or deny shortly.

Trev was traveling, but I thought he was due back by now.
Website is still down. Hope it's temporary.

He completed his travels and updated his website, but shut it down a few days later.

My website is now no more …
After ten and a half years I have taken it down and will not be relisted again - anywhere

I've refrained from posting here since I tried to alert readers that I had encountered "issues" with Cheezy Flicks Jesse James Rides Again
An unsettling remark of "… it only happened to me …" followed
We have since learned that it also "only happened to Gravy"
Which I guess places Gravy down on the bottom rung with me (how does it feel?)
That's the problem with being dismissed: its only OK(?), whilst ever it doesn't happen to oneself …

In concert with moving on from my website, I now also move on from The Balcony
This is to be my last ever post
I've enjoyed posting here (mostly)
And I've always appreciated the solid information that floats through these pages (RiddleRider & Jazz Guy, come to mind)

I will stick with my standard rule of thumb to not mention my website (now defunct) nor my email address in any of my postings to these pages.
The Balcony's Personal Message system will no longer be reaching me.
So if you really need to contact me, then use my nom de guerre suffixed by @mac.com

Bye Bye (and Buy Bonds)

You're going to be missed. I hope you're not leaving because you feel offended by anyone here. Since I am occasionally acquiring Australian film and TV shows these days, it has been useful to hear your thoughts on your country's film scene. Sorry you are leaving and that your website is no more. I made some wonderful purchases from you a few years back and appreciate them.

And if it's me, I apologize for not getting to it sooner, but I promise to check my copy of Cheezy Flick's JESSE JAMES RIDES AGAIN to see if it also has the issues mentioned.

Well, I was the one that mentioned that the problem with Jesse James Rides Again may not have been present on every single copy of the DVD, and that it may have been corrected on later pressings. So take that for what it's worth.

I didn't realize it was a personal slight at the time, and still don't really see why it was. Still, I doubt it'll be the last time that my words are misinterpreted.

That's the magic of the internet, Rodney. I'm sure we've all been misinterpreted at one time or another.

I hope that the discussion regarding Jesse James Rides Again didn't cause Trev to discontinue his website. The gratis copy I received from him regarding that serial was, as usual, first rate. In fact, I've purchased several items from Trev over the years and have never been disappointed. Many times, I received my purchase from Australia faster than some of the U.S. orders I've purchased. I, for one, will miss Trev and his website. I wish him all the best!

Personally, I can't believe that a misunderstanding about the Jesse James serial would cause Trev to close his site. We all have misunderstandings, or interpret comments the wrong way. Most times they can be resolved with some sincere effort.

I don't have the Cheesy Flicks edition of that title, so I can't offer anything in regards to that.

But I do have their first release which was KING OF THE ROCKETMEN. In my copy, right during the first few minutes of the first chapter, there is a scene around a minute or so long that is repeated. Yet I see no mention of that flaw in this thread. Does that mean that I'm the only one who got a copy like that? Maybe it is mentioned in this thread and I just missed it. But it's a similar situation, and I can't see Trev getting upset enough over something like that to close his site completely and leave the Balcony. There must be something else wrong that we're not aware of.

I wonder if there was something wrong or he has just decided to move on to other things in his life. Some people's interests do change with time. He seemed to be doing a lot of travel the last few years and maybe more of that is where his energies are going now. We'll probably never know.

Just back from vacation and the first thing I read is that Trev has taken down his site. What a loss!!!

I happen to like his site and got to know Trev personally and met him while visiting Australia a couple of years ago and up until a couple of months ago due to his traveling was doing a weekly SKYPE with him.

His site will be missed.
