This time around I have resurrected my long-neglected Et Al. section:
In my eternal quest to be sure I have found “the first”, I have been watching a lot of movies that, from their description, at least, might be early examples of disaster movies…
The bad news is that, nope, I haven’t found anything new that I’m prepared to classify as “a disaster movie”. The good news is, I’ve watched quite a number of reasonably entertaining little films…although if I never see another film with a plot centring on a love-triangle, it will be too soon…
(Fun fact: before the Plot-Point Specific Radio there was the Plot-Point Specific Newspaper…complete with typographical errors!)

FYI, your FRIDAY THE 13th – RECONSIDERED link is dead.
Also, just wondering, where do you have your “miscellaneous” stuff, like the survey on Most Odious Comic Relief that I remember from years ago? Thanks. 🙂

Sorry to jump in, but speaking of dead links – The Medusa Touch is also dead/”forbidden”.

If you’re going to start listing my dead links, we’ll be here all day… 🙂
Ronald, I don’t know what happened to that OCR piece. I will see if I can find the draft and if so, it will go up in Etc., Etc., Etc..

I deal with bluemountains url just fine by replacing it with aycyas and it takes me to the right pages, so those aren’t really dead links. Sleeping, maybe.

Comatose.
I am – very slowly – in the process of working my way through those and reviving them, and most get a makeover in the process. With the very early stuff I would much rather we all pretended in the meantime that it didn’t exist… 🙂

Presumably the pilots who went to Hollywood as technical advisors would insist that those stunts they were so fond of were signs of a good pilot…
I wonder if Henry and Carl Goering changed their surnames and company name a few years later.

So many horror stories in that area… {*shudder*}
‘Spig’ Wead was one of the technical advisors on Dirigible; none of the others advertised their stunt-flyers. There’s a film in the second batch of these proto-disasters that has a celebrity pilot in the cast, though. (And as an actor, he’s a GREAT pilot.)
Yes, that is a little unfortunate…
