Watch It: Miss Fatty’s Seaside Lovers (1915)
Miss Fatty’s Seaside Lovers was released on May 15, 1915 but you can watch it right now. Miss Fatty’s Seaside Lovers features a lot of Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle and a little bit of Harold Lloyd. I give it four stars for that fact alone and one more for Fatty in drag. Direction: Roscoe “Fatty” [...]
Buster Keaton and Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle
Originally published on October 4, 2011. From Laurel and Hardy to Abbott and Costello to Cheech and Chong (yeah, I said it) – duos make the comedy world go ’round. And why not? You’ve got the yin and the yang, the clown and the straight man, the graceful and the inept – and you’ve got [...]
Winsor McCay, Animation Inspiration
Winsor Zenic McCay – how’s that for a name guys and gals? – was an early American cartoonist and animator,. While he was mostly known as Windsor McCay, and celebrated for the comic strip Little Nemo and the animated cartoon Gertie the Dinosaur (1914), he also used the pen name Silas for his work on Dream of the Rarebit Fiend.

Watch It: Kansas Silent Film Festival Saturday Programme
If you’re like me, and I think you are, you’re crying into your beer right now because you’re not at the Kansas Silent Film Festival. Unless of course you’re at the fest and reading this on your phone right now – in that case, boooooo! But do not fret my pets! I’ve scoured the interwebs and [...]

Buster Keaton’s Our Hospitality was released on November 19, 1923. I’m pretty sure I don’t need to tell you anything more than its BUSTER KEATON.

Watch: Raggedy Rose (1926)
Raggedy Rose is a cute little silent comedy from 1926 starring Mabel Normand. Rose works for a cheap-skate junk dealer and dreams of romance with a wealthy bachelor. I say: who doesn’t, sister? There’s not a lot that’s truly special about Raggedy Rose. Except that Mabel is always charming. And except that it was co-written [...]
Watch: Shoulder Arms (1918)
Charlie Chaplin’s Shoulder Arms was released on October 20, 1917. Charlie is an infantryman with big dreams of being a hero behind enemy lines.

Cast Charles Chaplin … Charlie, the Doughboy Edna Purviance … French girl Syd Chaplin … The sergeant, Charlie’s Comrade/The Kaiser Jack Wilson … German [...]
Watch: The Navigator (1924)
Today is the release date of Buster Keaton’s The Navigator, except in 1924. It’s not opening down at the local cineplex or anything (a shame, if you ask me). I’m going to go out on a limb and guess if you’re reading this, you don’t need much background on Keaton or The Navigator, so I’ll [...]
