Nice job Paul on the Chase shorts.  I’m going to try to catch up to the final two this weekend.  Do you plan on reviewing any more Columbia shorts?

I have some time off from work later in the month.  Will try to slip in a review or two.

Yes, I do intend to keep hitting Columbia shorts.  Probably will hit some lesser knowns the next few weeks.

In addition to catch up on Paul’s reviews, a review of TRAMP TRAMP TRAMP from Langdon coming this week.  Good timing since Paul is starting the Langdon Columbias, which I’m really looking forward too.

Thanks for holding down the fort, Paul.  The break’s done me well.

Next review will have to wait a day.  I have an unbearable headache that is making even thinking a chore.

Dear Stooge-ophiles:

I need help remembering which short had Moe complaining of a "twitch" in his hand. I think there was painting (or hammering, or something like that) involved. I think Moe painted someones face (or hit them with hammer), then uttered the immortal line to the effect:  "SORRY KID, IT WAS THAT OLD TWITCH AGAIN! Please help me identify the short with this gag.

Got Wednesday off.  In addition to catching up on the Langdon films, I’m going to try to throw in a Harold Lloyd short.  Have not decided which one yet, but feel we’re due another Lloyd review.

Review for the very first Harold Lloyd two reeler, BUMPING INTO BROADWAY (1919) now up.

I just watched Abbott and Costello's One Night In The Tropics.  I was wondering if anyone was going to review the movie.

I believe that was the only Abbott and Costello movie not reviewed, primarily because they were not top-billed.

There’s that and the fact they don’t show up until about fifteen minutes into the film. 

It’s not a Bud and Lou film but a film Bud and Lou are in.  Big difference.

To answer Luke, when I’m in the mood for it I’ll review One Night in the Tropics as well as 50 Foot Bride of Candy Rock.  I just went through a massive Bud and Lou binge and need a break, but will get to them when I’m refreshed.

There are a few similar non Stooge Stooge films I’ll also get to someday like Swing Parade of 1946 and Time Out for Rhythm.

GOLD RAIDERS is worthy of a true review.

These past few months I have been on a massive horror film kick.  That bubble, amongst others, is starting to burst and I’ve been watching more comedy lately, so expect more reviews.  Going to do THE DENTIST from W.C. Fields this weekend and something Stooge oriented soon enough.

Stooge fans, I have decided my next review, a Christmas present you’ve all been waiting for.  Sometime within this next week, I will review......drumroll please...............the one.......the only..........the great Stooge psychedelic classic..........the mighty KOOK’S TOUR.  Yes, Santa Metaldams is leaving coal in your stocking this year, ho ho hardee har har!  But yeah, we’ll revisit the last gasp of Stoogedom, something I haven’t visited in a long time.
