Wow, that's *really* late. But thanks!

This is sad and terrible news. He was one of the good ones. I don't even have words.

I heard from Ken Winokur of Alloy Orchestra that it was getting much easier to work with Paramount on their early silents and pre-codes. Is that the case, and can we look forward to more from this particular studio in the future?

I cannot find the remote to my DVR, and I'm getting really irritated.
