Lifetime is probably like "Why didn't we think of this?"

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by M.10rda - Today at 12:56:06 PMHE DID AND HE DIDN'T (1916):
This confusingly titled Roscoe Arbuckle/Mabel Normand joint seems transitional as it's more sophisticated than the earlier team-up I watched (...SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION) but also looks forward to two distinct and disparate versions of Roscoe-to-come: the off-the-wall surreal violence of COPS and OUT WEST, and the repressed normcore of THE HAYSEED.
Roscoe and Mabel are married (and good for him!) but her thinner/more handsome "schoolmate" comes to their mansion to have dinner (and sleep over!). The Schoolmate has a coquettish glamor shot of Mabel which he seems to still cherish, and at a glance it's obvious that Mabel wants to shag the guy rotten, all of which naturally sits poorly w/ Roscoe. There is almost nothing in the way of jokes or gags in the first fifteen minutes (at least) of this twenty-six minute short, unless you're prone to snicker at Roscoe sitting in-between Mabel and her Schoolmate on a tiny couch while all three pretend to read but Mabel and the Schoolmate try to make eyes at each other and Roscoe leans forwards and back in an attempt to c-block them.
Then randomly two con artists try to talk themselves into the mansion and case the joint, which seems (or is) wholly irrelevant to the main plot.
But! (As so often there is a "But!" in these early films...) HDAHD truly shifts into top gear abruptly near the end, with a sudden frantic slapstick chase/fight, a dude hanging/swinging/spinning from a chandelier, and another dude firing 25 or 30 rounds from a small revolver
which is a gag that Roscoe would continue to develop in future films. And then, as a piece-de-resistance -
SEMI-SPOILER: ...At the climax one of the main characters dies, then promptly wakes up (It Was All A Dream!) but then we cut back to the other two main characters and both of them die, then one of them wakes up (It Was All A Dream!) and that character and the first character who woke up see each other and realize They Both Had The Same Dream....... #biospherephantasm #thekrays .......Now if that isn't some INCEPTION/Lynchian/BACKROOMS action, I dunno what is!
Roscoe Arbuckle, Man Ahead of His Time. 3.5/5 Mabel also looks better here than in the previous movie.
