Also - when the Lusitania was traversing the ocean / getting sunk, the animation style put me in mind of Ivor The Engine.
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
that was definitely the best bit
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
i started watching the master mystery today, a serial where harry houdini is a patent clerk who must foil some minor patent fraud by, er, fighting THE AUTOMATON. What is THE AUTOMATON, you ask?
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
anyway the first two episoes were genuinely the most boring thing i've ever watched, and i'm not sure i'll ever watch the next 18 (EIGHTEEN)
but if you want to for some reason here they are in shite youtube-O-vision

Re: this flim is 100 flams old
also harry houdini has a strange face but i couldn't tell you exactly what's strange about it but it's strange it really is
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
oh no here comes the automaton!
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
lots of the comments on the youtube videos soeem to be about how rubbish the automaton is but i think he seems quite nice
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
like one of those brigands from the moon
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
Also it should be noted that THE AUTOMATON's "giant form three times the size of a man" is in fact the exact size of a man
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
I love the automaton and I am sad to learn that his serial is rubbish
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
yeah i've seen that before somewhere
Re: this flim is 100 flams old

Re: this flim is 100 flams old
i was going to watch some more buster keaton today but i watched some snooker instead
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
presumably as close to being the exact opposite of buster keaton in entertainment form as it is possible to find

Re: this flim is 100 flams old
I started watching the snooker at the gym, and there was immediately a medical emergency in the audience and play stopped, so they went back to the studio and there was Shaun Murphy congealed in a chair, peevishness and dyspepsia given almost-human form, so I watched something else instead.

Re: this flim is 100 flams old
yes. i like the way shaun murphy's increeasing snooker ineptitude is rewarded with constant bbc commentary appearances for some reason

by which i mean i don't like it at all

One day, footage of Shaun Murphy will be 100 years old, and dng will be forced to view and comment on it, and I will laug and laug and laug at his torment! Ha! Ha! Ha!
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
I will be 127 years old by then
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
It'll be something for you to look forward to!
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
agreed that this one takes a while to get good, but the last 20 minutes or so are brilliant
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
Yes. All I knew about this one was that it had a great waterfall scene in it, so when it got to bit with the dam getting blown up, I thought, well that was okay but I'm not sure why it's so famous
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
but then

Also, this isn't buster keaton but it was included on the disc

Re: this flim is 100 flams old
He Who Gets Slapped is probably my favourite non-Buster-Keaton film from 1924 if you're taking requests
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
I watched this today, because they were showing it in a tent with a live musical accompaniment to celebrate new year's day, for some reason. Also most of The Haunted House. Anyway they're the only Buster Keaton's I've seen, they were good. My 5 year old thought they were funny too.dng wrote: ↑Thu Feb 03, 2022 1:05 am One Week (more Buster Keaton incredibleness)

which I also watched before, in actual 2020, like I was supposed to:
https://accumulationofthings.com/100/20 ... week-1920/
for some reason that review is much more miserable than this one. possibly because in those days i didn't even know what a buster keaton was
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
Last night I watched The Big Sleep. It was utterly incomprehensible.
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
I feel like with an extra 20 minutes of exposition it could have been the best film ever made.
Re: this flim is 100 flams old
Wait this is the thread for films that are 100 years old. I'll come back in 22 years.
