Stan and Ollie

Re: Stan and Ollie

Indeed. Stan and Ollie leave me cold.

I think even if you didn't like them the film is worth watching. Really well acted and well written (quite sad) story about them.

Re: Stan and Ollie

Oh yeah , completely off the wall humour

Like The Odd Couple , Walter Mattaue was a funny bloke

If my memory serves me rightly, there was an anecdote about Walter Matthau collapsing and Jack Lemmon rushing over and put something under Matthau's head as a temporary pillow - and when Matthau was asked if he was comfortable he retorted 'I make a living....'

Re: Stan and Ollie

I thought it was a delightful film and enjoyed it very much. I liked Stan’s line about all the former wives he had and the alimony he was paying, to the effect that he was never going to marry again, just find a woman he didn’t like and buy her a house.

Re: Stan and Ollie

Excellent film

It is a testament to their relationship that Stan continued to write scripts and sketches for them both long after Hardy had passed. Brutally sad.

I watched a documentary about Buster Keaton last week. I'd never really thought much about him, but he was a genius, an absolute genius. Physical comedy at its best. I laughed much more than I anticipated and was blown away by his story.

It's called The Great Buster - a celebration

Highly recommended

yeah some of the buster Keaton clips really do stand up well still. absolute genius, especially considering how they achieved some of the shots without modern technology.

I showed my kids the Charlie Chaplin boxing scene from city lights a while back and they thought it was hilarious.

There's a lot to be said for that silent era. So long as we're mentioning the Gods, let's throw in Harold Lloyd.

Yes, Marx Brothers were genius. My dad, God bless him, introduced me to the Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, and Hope and Crosby. Forever grateful.

Without Groucho there would be no Hawkeye in MASH.

I must have seen that clip a dozen times over the years and it still gets me, I laughed out loud again.
