buster keaton is the best

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 25, 2022 10:35 pm

theres a stunt/trick in the middle of this which is genuinely the best magic trick/special effect ever

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 25, 2022 10:37 pm

and also a bit where snooker is used for comic effect. who knew that was even possible

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 25, 2022 10:38 pm

buster keaton also once tried to make golf funny, but that was beyond even him

I will never understand how that was done and I don't think I ever want to

Post by **dng** » Sun Dec 25, 2022 11:05 pm

like all the best tricks, its obviously a mixture of mirrors, trapdoors and some sort of portal to another dimension

I couldn't get the clip to play for some reason (do you need to sign up for it to work?), but I did like the chap pulling the sledge whilst bedecked in a cricket jumper.

I don't think so. MAybe it's a browser/javascript thing. I just click on the play button and it plays (although if you leave it on the page for too long before presisng play, it'll give a playback error and you need to refrsh)

Post by **dng** » Sun Jan 01, 2023 3:55 pm

also you need to be in britain to watch the BFI free stuff for some reason, so maybe wolverhampton is considered too foreign to be allowed to view it

Maybe it's an Opera browser issue, because it worked first time in Edge - hurrah for olde 1 minute clippes!

Either too foreign or too... in-a-different-dimension, to view it.

I always like seeing what the new year has unlocked in terms of "being 100 years old" but it appears that Safety Last and The Hunchback of Notre Dame are the only 1923 films I've seen (apart from the last couple of Keaton shorts that you've already covered)

Post by **dng** » Sun Jan 01, 2023 11:38 pm

i might re watch them anyway

i watched a page of madness today and it was fucking incredible

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Page_of_Madness

(1926 though. sorry)

Post by **vom** » Thu Jan 05, 2023 9:16 pm

I watched that a couple of years ago. It looks amazing! I had no idea what was going on

Post by **dng** » Thu Jan 05, 2023 10:37 pm

i think the man wanted to rescue his wife but she didn't want to be rescued at all. and also maybe someone was his daughter. later on: madness, masks

Post by **dng** » Thu Jan 05, 2023 10:40 pm

also i watched man with a movie camera again yesterday, and this and that both just have such an amazing array of incredible images it was kind of exhilirating

Post by **dng** » Thu Jan 05, 2023 10:41 pm

this reminded me a bit of that black and white episode in the new twin peaks for some reason (which is probably like 6 years old now so not actually that new)

Post by **vom** » Thu Jan 05, 2023 10:51 pm

that man sure did have a movie camera, am I right?

Post by **dng** » Fri Jan 06, 2023 1:38 am

i wish i had a movie camera

Post by **blombluss** » Fri Jan 06, 2023 2:41 am

No you mustn't. Movie cameras trap the souls of all those who are filmed.

The world would be a better place if Vom's cinema preferences were shared by the majority.

Post by **dng** » Fri Jan 06, 2023 6:19 pm

I'm currently watching all the silent movies on mub (there are about 8 silent movies on mubi, and most of them are from the future (1924 onwards). But today I watched Merry-Go-Round, which was from 1923, so that's okay

https://accumulationofthings.com/100/20 ... ound-1923/

Anyway it was kind of rubbish, disappointingly

I'm glad about the orangutan!

A good piece, too, Davuss!

Good work!

Also, would dogs of 2023 be able to communicate with dogs of 1922? I mean, Bonio biscuits were invented in 1932, so would the cultural gap between the dog groups be too great to traverse?

Excellent! Especially the notes!

Also, I bet there were peiple in 1923 saying 'the game's gone', following that £6000 transfer.
