I love when Keaton is trying to walk into the wind. It's so hilarious! He was such a good physical comedian. <br /><br />Artman - Thanks! Yes that theater is really gorgeous. Next time I go, I'll take more pictures.<br /><br />John - How could I not be cheered up by some Keaton funny?<br /><br />Kid - Thanks!<br /><br />Mercurie - You need to come up to Boston! I will take you to all the great repertory houses.Raquel Stecherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687110907002450794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-54609901658154856282010-10-04T20:23:07.477-04:002010-10-04T20:23:07.477-04:00You are so lucky!

It looks better now than I remember. <i>Steamboat Bill Jr.</i> is a big film that's worthy of big-screen revivals today. I got to see <i>Metropolis</i> on a big screen with a Mighty Wurlitzer last week, and I wish opportunities like that arose more often.Samuel Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934870299522899944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-42348823688074074152010-10-03T22:26:20.837-04:002010-10-03T22:26:20.837-04:00i'm glad you at least enjoyed the film itself,...i'm glad you at least enjoyed the film itself, it truly is a gem. i saw it yeeeeeeears ago at yale university, i couldnt have been more then 7 or 8 years old but i remember the experience very well!<br /><br />btw, that theater is incredible!!!Artman2112https://www.blogger.com/profile/03062864368596074661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155853741712764167.post-74190773415949842342010-10-03T21:04:47.672-04:002010-10-03T21:04:47.672-04:00I'm sorry you had such a rough time. :( At lea...I'm sorry you had such a rough time. :( At least you live where you can see silents on the big screen! "Steamboat Bill Jr" is a really funny movie - my favorite part is when Buster is trying on hats and his porkpie gets thrown into the mix! :DElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11592715432020988588noreply@blogger.com
