Nice work Davuss, but 'ugh!' for the film's content. *thumbs up*

Post by **vom** » Thu Dec 09, 2021 6:44 am

yes this one was awful

just totally charmless and not funny

Post by **vom** » Thu Dec 09, 2021 10:17 pm

hell yeah The Cook

I fucking loved this one

Also the glorious return of Luke the Dog!

Post by **dng** » Thu Dec 09, 2021 11:05 pm

Hooray. I liked this too (but have been too lazy to write a review yet)

Goatworld looked like the very best world ever

Post by **dng** » Thu Dec 09, 2021 11:06 pm

By too lazy I mean I have been playing skyrim for eight hours straight

Post by **vom** » Thu Dec 09, 2021 11:19 pm

imagine being forced to eat your own moustache

what an insult

Post by **vom** » Thu Dec 09, 2021 11:20 pm

also I thought it was funny that fatty got coffee, soup and milk out of the same tap

also the dancing was all amazing

i don't know why this took me an hour and half to write but it did

Also: Good stuff, Vom!

I like having two reviews of the same thing - it's like when Zzap! 64 reviewed a game with Jaz Rignall, Gary Penn, and Paul Sumner (who didn't exist).

Post by **dng** » Fri Dec 10, 2021 1:22 am

Buster Keaton seems to have had a bunch of 50s tv shows which were all then subsequently destroyed

Post by **vom** » Fri Dec 10, 2021 6:43 am

I quite liked the spaghetti interlude, or at least I thought it was better than anything in Good Night Nurse, which is admittedly a low bar to clear

Post by **vom** » Fri Dec 10, 2021 6:44 am

The 45 minute zoom meeting I had with my bank yesterday for some reason was also more enjoyable than Good Night Nurse

Post by **dng** » Fri Dec 10, 2021 12:33 pm

Back Stage (1919)

https://accumulationofthings.com/100/20 ... tage-1919/

this one was neither great nor terrible.

Post by **vom** » Fri Dec 10, 2021 7:30 pm

agreed, a fun watch but nothing special

I liked how much attempted murder there was in this one though

The hayseed

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=noc0paO_SFo

slight, but charming

Post by **dng** » Sat Dec 11, 2021 5:55 pm

there's only one more fatty arbuckle film in this buster keaton box set. i'm going to miss him when he's gone

Post by **dng** » Sat Dec 11, 2021 5:55 pm

maybe

Post by **vom** » Sat Dec 11, 2021 7:01 pm

I've seen the last one and I think it was pretty good. I'll watch this one shortly when I gather up the energy to move

Post by **vom** » Sat Dec 11, 2021 8:33 pm

yeah the hayseed was sweet but not particularly memorable

also sending a pickle through the mail to indicate ring size is a funny idea

and I enjoyed the amount of onion content, and also Luke the Dog content

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 12, 2021 11:13 pm

i think i'm going to leave the buster keaton ones until the new year

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 12, 2021 11:14 pm

i've sort of lost the ability to write at some point this last week

Post by **vom** » Sun Dec 12, 2021 11:29 pm

I think the last couple of Keaton shorts won't be 100 years old until 2023! If you watch those I'll be absolutely outraged

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 12, 2021 11:45 pm

oh no!

are you going to watch some more buster keatons soon David? I quite fancy watching some more buster keatons

Post by **vom** » Wed Jan 12, 2022 8:44 pm

Also Haxan and Nosferatu are both 100 years old now

Post by **vom** » Wed Jan 12, 2022 8:44 pm

Witches and vampires, oh my

Post by **dng** » Wed Jan 12, 2022 10:36 pm

Yes. Hooray for haxan, nisferatu.

I was actually checking today if I had nosferatu, as I was hoping it might be a DVD extra on that john malkovich film about nosferatu, but it doesn't seem to be

Post by **dng** » Wed Jan 12, 2022 10:38 pm

Also I was going to watch those Buster Keaton's too, but I've been waiting until I'm less miserable. Which might take a while (due to general january malaise, continuing world awfulness, etc, etc)

(I should be going to Cornwall next week to make up for not being able to go to Cornwall at Christmas, so maybe when I get back from that, hopefully)

I watched Der Golem this afternoon, it was excellent and featured a scene in which a rabbi summons the floating head of a spirit in order to learn the magic word required to bring a golem to life, which was my favourite bit. It is 102 years old.

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Jan 23, 2022 11:43 pm

What was the magic word to bring a golem to life, Vom? I'm asking... for a friend...

Post by **vom** » Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:34 am

I remember that it had a lot of vowels in it
