yeah, I also thought that one was shit and offensive in various ways. the next one is the first I haven't seen so I will WATCH IT

Post by **dng** » Thu Dec 02, 2021 8:59 pm

I just looked at your letterboxd review and it's exactly the same as mine. which is nice

Post by **dng** » Thu Dec 02, 2021 8:59 pm

Not that there's much else to say about it really.

I just hope Graham Father Ted Linehan doesn't see Buster Keaton in a dress, otherwise he might have to take action!!!

The twat!

(not my best review, sorry)

Post by **vom** » Fri Dec 03, 2021 8:34 pm

I quite liked this one, even though it wastes Buster almost completely, makes no sense and forgets to be a comedy for most of the second half.

You've got to admire Fatty absolutely committing to making his character impossible to root for. It must have been a revelation when Buster took over and said "what if we make my character likeable in some way?"

Also I really liked the horse joke that you highlighted too, that DEFINITELY wasn't what I expected him to say

Other best joke: somebody shooting at Fatty and the only effect being his fake moustache falling off

Post by **vom** » Fri Dec 03, 2021 8:44 pm

Also the driverless car scene was brilliant

Post by **dng** » Fri Dec 03, 2021 9:54 pm

Oh yeah, I forgot about that for some reason. It was great

Post by **dng** » Fri Dec 03, 2021 10:11 pm

Also there's one coming up soon that the boxset booklet describes as appallingly racist, so i'm not exactly looking forward to that one

Post by **vom** » Fri Dec 03, 2021 10:48 pm

oh god, which one is that?

Post by **vom** » Fri Dec 03, 2021 10:48 pm

I can't be bothered going downstairs to look

Post by **vom** » Fri Dec 03, 2021 10:53 pm

from Letterboxd reviews I'm guessing it's Out West, people on there seem to agree that it's pretty good apart from the racism so at least there's that!

This one's good. Also Harold Lloyd movie "Speedy" also has some great Coney Island stuff in it, but probably isn't 100 yet

I'm too drunk to check

Post by **dng** » Sat Dec 04, 2021 8:01 pm

1928, apparently. Also I don't think I've ever see any Harold Lloyd films

You MUST have seen Safety Last! (The one with Llyod hanging off of the big clock). EVERYONE has seen Safety Last!, even Richard III of England has!!!

Post by **blombluss** » Sun Dec 05, 2021 1:55 am

There was a Fatty Arbuckles nightclub in Wulfruna. It was not good.

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 05, 2021 2:48 am

Was it mandatory to have food fights constantly that last forever?

Post by **Bruce Sato** » Sun Dec 05, 2021 7:26 pm

I hope so

That reminds me, I finally got to see Laurel and Hardy's Fight of the Century (biggest custard pie fight of all time) on the new bluray set, and it is amazing.

Out West

https://accumulationofthings.com/100/20 ... west-1918/

contains racism

Post by **vom** » Sun Dec 05, 2021 8:26 pm

I watched it today too and thought it was pretty brilliant apart from the bits that were wildly racist

When Fatty arrives at the saloon and basically doesn't stop shooting his guns for about five minutes, including keeping Buster's hat in the air for ages, I was all like "this is the best thing ever". It's just a shame that there is also the scene where everyone shoots at a black man for no reason. And also that it implies native Americans to be cannibals

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 05, 2021 8:30 pm

Yes, pretty much my thoughts also. Stupid, horrifying racism

Q) Why the long face?

A) Drunk horse!!!

Post by **vom** » Mon Dec 06, 2021 9:01 am

when the horse walked up to the bar I did immediately think "is he going to do the long face joke? IS THIS WHERE IT ORIGINATED!?" but he didn't and it wasn't

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Dec 06, 2021 8:42 pm

You have let me down, Fatty Arbuckles... :'(

The Bell Boy

https://accumulationofthings.com/100/20 ... -boy-1918/

(i liked this one a lot, except for an absolutely tedious bit where Fatty Arbuckle shaves a man's beard off for what feels like an hour)

Post by **vom** » Mon Dec 06, 2021 10:30 pm

Haha yes, same. I watched it on my lunch break and thought it was probably the best one yet, but the barber shop stuff was definitely the weak point

Post by **vom** » Mon Dec 06, 2021 10:31 pm

I also got excited when a dog turned up but then disappointed when it was the wrong dog

I just found the original ending of this, which is so racist the blu ray people just cut it out completely and stuck it else where on the disc

Alos, I watched Moonshine

I struggled with the crappy quality of this one a bit but it's good fun

Post by **vom** » Tue Dec 07, 2021 5:36 pm

I watched it a few years ago so that's all I can remember

Post by **vom** » Tue Dec 07, 2021 5:37 pm

I haven't seen the next four, so I will recommence viewings

Post by **vom** » Tue Dec 07, 2021 5:38 pm

and then after that I think I've seen them all but I might rewatch some of them

Good Night, Nurse

https://accumulationofthings.com/100/20 ... urse-1918/

This was probably my least favourite one yet, in that it's not just unfunny, but actually anxiety inducing, mostly

Post by **dng** » Wed Dec 08, 2021 10:37 pm

the first five minutes are quite good and then it changes into a much worse film entirely
