1. Man, I hate those Keaton-Durante films!

Durante is so graceless. I think working with him must have been painful for Keaton.

If TCM is playing them, I hope they'll make time to screen more of Keaton's classic work.

2. I agree, not his best work, but still fun to watch.

They save the good stuff for Sunday nights.

3. You absolutely HAVE to see "The General"

Not only gut-busting funny, but one heckuva spectacular movie (for that time) also.

[Gothic Sponge]

4. Great film!

I also love Steamboat Bill Jr.

[VOX]

10. I've seen "The General" probably two dozen times or more...

And with each viewing I am more in awe of Keaton's art.

:kick:

6. You're welcome!

Did you see Judex tonight?

Judex (1916)
After the success of his crime serial "Les Vampires," French filmmaker Louis Feuillade turned to the right side of the law for impressive 12-part silent chapterplay. The mysterious avenger Judex, armed with hypnotic powers, an array of disguises, and a lair whose gadgetry includes a television device, seeks justice against the corrupt banker who ruined his family. Rene Creste, Yvette Andreyor, Musidora star. 315 min.

It was fun! It continues again next week.

7. No, I was out all evening with an old friend

Didn't know it was on, or I would have taped it, but I'm glad it will be on next week too. Too bad I missed it tonight. Damn! :grr:

[Gothic Sponge]

8. LOL!

You suddenly have a Keaton avatar! That was fast! :D

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

9. Thanks - I adore Buster

The Durante films were really painful for him...he had lost his studio to MGM and was going through a painful divorce, and he was drinking a lot. Poor guy. But I love all his films, even those awful talkies.

I once came across an old movie made in Mexico in which he was dressed like a wizard for some reason. I couldn't follow it...he delivered his lines in Spanish like everyone else. I watched it anyway. :)
