Has anyone heard of this release? Its from a company called Flicker Alley that releases classic movies in the vein of Criterion. I'd never heard of them till my partner was watching the 1919 film Behind the Door and the Wikipedia page mentioned that they release a blu ray of that in 2017. I went to check them out and that was the first entry I saw in their shop. Its not being released till Jan 12th.

Laurel and Hardy became cinematic legends together, but before they were ever hauling pianos or throwing pies as a hilarious and unforgettable comedic duo, each had to develop as an individual artist and performer. Laurel or Hardy: Early Films of Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, as proudly presented by Flicker Alley, the Library of Congress, and Blackhawk Films®, offers fans new and old the rare opportunity to track the early solo careers of two comedy icons. Featuring all new 2K restorations sourced from materials contributed by archives and collectors around the world, this comprehensive 2-disc Blu-ray collection features 35 films and includes new scores from some of the best silent film composers working today.

... keep reading on reddit ➡I'm watching the movie "The Fighting Kentuckian" starring some guy named John Wayne (John Breen). I noticed his sidekick (Willie Paine) looked really familiar. The more I watched, the more I thought he looked like Oliver Hardy. A trip to IMDB and...it is! It was made while Stan Laurel was ill. Maybe not new information for some but I always like making connections and learning the background stories in old movies.
Well Mathew I think you're wrong on many levels and need to rethink your views.
