It's finally up and running! Benj and I (but mostly Benj) have finished the FWFR book website.
www.fourwordbook.com
It was done mainly as a promotional tool. We have press photos, links to articles about the book as well as background info. If anybody has a friend who is a journalist, blogger or broadcaster, point them to the website for all the info they need to write a a story about FWFR.
Feel free to take a look around and tell us what you think (and don't be afriad to point out any spelling errors!). |

Jack and the Beanstalk is still on YouTube.
Try here:

If you search for "Jack and the Beanstalk 1902" lots of versions come up. |

I assume that you've found these now, but if not there are several other occurrences of it. |

I've now done that. |

And I'd suggest saving all of them now and worrying about the legality if you ever need to re-upload them.
I don't know how American law works, but it's hard to see that YouTube could have much objection to people saving things out of copyright.
You could contact the uploaders instead and ask them for the films/where they got them from. |

Given what Yukon said about those old films being out of copyright, I'd be surprised. It says just "This video has been deleted": I am pretty sure one also gets "This video has been deleted by the user" and I think something like "This video has been deleted for violating terms and conditions", so I wonder what it means. |

Good idea. And I don't think it would actually be that much work. It's easy to save videos from YouTube now and it's a lot quicker to upload them than it used to be.
Instead of/as well as my F.W.F.R. Cinema, I've thought of creating a single account where all those films are favourites. However, an account where they are actually its own videos would be better.

That's a bugger. Anyone know anywhere else it can be found online?

It should be Fireman, not Firefighter. I know that the titles of these early films vary, but the I.M.D.B. and YouTube agree on this. I doubt that firefighter was a word then. |

I've watched loads of them (long before they were listed on the book site) and it's never crossed my mind to score them -- they just haven't piqued my interest enough. |

True, except that other similar (i.e. made in the last few years) devices would work (albeit somewhat cramped)- this would only be a problem for iPhone. I'll add iPhone support to my list anyway  |
