I am trying to catch up on the Buster Keaton shorts.  After that (which should be about two weeks), I plan to resume short reviews focusing on Stooges, their supporting cast, and other Columbia comedy series.  It will be a mix of laughs, groans, tears, and WTFs!

Review for Abbott and Costello’s KEEP ‘EM FLYING is now up.  There is a YouTube link to watch the film as well in case you need it.

I have run out of Buster Keaton shorts to review as the remaining two for me, MIXED MAGIC and HAYSEED ROMANCE, aren't available on the internet at the present moment.

I have, instead, posted a review of the Andy Clyde short HOME ON THE RAGE, which co-stars Shemp Howard.

Next Laurel and Hardy review as well as my thoughts on Home on the Rage will be delayed until Monday or Tuesday.  Had a very busy week last week and got out of state family visiting this weekend.

It's sad to see this forum die down so much.  Many posters who were extremely active when I joined haven't been on in years.  I guess I thought the futzes like me preferred forums to social media and would find ways to keep things going strong.

I have my PhD comprehensive exam this Thursday.  I plan to post the thread for BOOBS IN THE WOODS soon, and my review of it will come sometime hopefully shortly after my exam.

Forums in general have died down over the years because of so much social media competition.  It is sad.

I’m about to finish up Laurel and Hardy and am currently doing Abbott and Costello, which should take me roughly a year.  When that year is up, barring a sudden huge interest in new posters, I’ll probably stop after that.  These reviews tend to get more views than comments.

Good luck on your PHD exam!

I'm amazed more because of how fast the decline was.  I intend to continue doing reviews for a while, even if it's just a handful of us!

And yet the forum really isn't all that dead; take a look at the forum stats in the attached image.  We don't have the activity of the forum's heyday, but that was also back when we were plagued with spammers and the posts were often nonsense.  We may have fewer posts these days, but the quality of those posts skyrocketed over the years, and looking at the stats the page views are very definitely up.  Your posts are being read, even if people don't often chime in.  :)

And good luck on the PhD exam!   [thumbleft]

Well how do you like that?  Thanks for sharing that Rob, it’s quite encouraging.

My review for Abbott and Costello’s RIO RITA is up.  Going to have a hard time watching it without going onto some sites I’m not too sure of, so buy the DVD.

My next Shemp Howard review will come this week.  Bring lots of alcohol to this and the one that follows.

EDIT: I must note that all reviews are subject to me finding a link to the short.

Review for Laurel and Hardy’s THE BULLFIGHTERS, complete with YouTube video to watch the movie, is now up.  In two weeks, we do ATOLL K, which will wrap up our Laurel and Hardy discussion.  Been quite a ride.  From then on, it will be Bud and Lou every week.

Review for Laurel and Hardy’s UTOPIA is now up and with that, I’m done reviewing Laurel and Hardy.  Straight Abbott and Costello from now on.
