Forgotten Hollywood:
Lovewell's Totally Compleat Film Guide

A comprehensive compendium of nonexistent films
and the people who never made them.

"Half of all of the films made before 1950, and 80 percent of the films made before 1930, have been lost forever."

—James H. Billington,
Librarian of Congress

"Perhaps it's just as well...."

—Charles Foster Lovewell,
Cineaste, Filmographer, Pedant

The problem with movie books like Leonard Maltin's Guide, or Halliwell's, or Roger Eberts', is that they are limited by the facts. They can only write about films which have actually been made. The editors at the Earmark Collection are not so constrained by pesky reality. And so, they, along with fatuous film scholar Charles Foster Lovewell, have compiled a voluminous compendium of every work ever made by the long-lost and never-was studio, Pinnacle Pictures. And all of the fabulous stars who toiled under the hot imaginary lights in a real make-believe town called "Hollywood."

Who would write a parody of a reference book? Unfortunately, we would. And we have, but it's not available yet because...well, because there are a few more typos than we're entirely comfortable with. And Quality is Job 1 with us—or at least somewhere in the top 20 or 30 percent.

But suffice it to say, when we finally get the spell-check working, you will agree that Forgotten Hollywood is the funniest film reference book parody of all time.

Until some other clowns with a Web site come up with the same idea.
