Last post by M.10rda - Today at 12:15:05 PMTHE HAYSEED (1919):
This is now the latest Roscoe Arbuckle flick I've seen, and based on only very limited evidence, my sense now is that he started out slow and uninspired about 1915, exploded into wildly unhinged farce by '17-'18, and then by the end of the decade was trying to go mainstream. THE HAYSEED is more romcom than farce, w/ Roscoe as a country bumpkin w/ a cute girlfriend (well good for him), which makes him a target for the lustful and corrupt local sheriff. Frequent collaborator Buster Keaton is present as Roscoe's boss at the general store, though doesn't get to do the things you probably think you want to see him doing. There's very little slapstick or even action - it's a plot-driven silent comedy, which probably was overly ambitious, as dialogue is generally the best vehicle for exposition. (There are long scenes of talking w/ few intertitles.
) I guess Roscoe wanted to demonstrate he could be an affable romantic lead, and who can blame him? There are some good visual gags (signs outside and inside the store). 3/5 Also it's clear that Arbuckle really disliked the police, even before his decade-long legal battle to beat a "murder" rap for a victim who died from a UTI.

Last post by zombie no.one - Today at 11:02:16 AMthanks for the recap bob 
well I love AC/DC, so if nothing else I should like the music?
85. ABIGAIL'S PARTY (1977)
Quote from: HappyGilmore on Today at 08:10:08 AMNot really. He's a publicly known figure so most people call him "Stark" which is his real name, Tony Stark. He's referred to as Iron Man on the news sometimes, etc.
On that note these are great films. I'd recommend them.

Last post by claws - Today at 10:28:21 AMQuote from: bob on Today at 09:33:25 AMI went a little more direct and this is what I got, it wouldn't let me put Paul Simon on it
random Batman for the win
Nice poster. When I did the I've Never Been To Me poster, a film about the song by Charlene, I wrote "based on the song by Charlene" and Copilot actually added the name Charlene on its own. However, this probably only worked because it was a bio pic - but still about the song.
