Had an awful night’s sleep last night so I won’t be able to do a good review today. Also, with the holiday coming up and family visiting, I’ve decided to take a break and my next review will be shortly after the New Year. I’ll be refreshed. Thanks to you guys who read and comment and Merry Christmas to all. 2020 will bring me finishing up Bud and Lou and then reviewing whatever comes to mind. Looking forward to it.

Merry Christmas, folks. Enjoy your time with family and friends, as I am doing. I will be back next week with the next Healy-Stooges review.

OK, the couple of weekends off have done me some good. I have decided a slightly new strategy. Yes, eventually Bud and Lou’s films will all be reviewed, but I have now decided starting next weekend I am opening up a new board where I will review basically any comedy film I want. I will mix in an Abbott and Costello review maybe once a month or whenever the mood hits me until I’m done, but I really need the freedom to do what I want now. Sticking to one team or comedian is way too rigid. I’m really looking forward to this way to start off the new year and decade (!) and I have no idea yet what I’m going to review next weekend. Whatever it is, this shall be fun.

Do you like the James Bond movies?

Never been a Bond fan - at all. I do know I’m in the minority.

For now I’ll only be reviewing comedies though I reserve the right to change my mind. I genuinely mean it when I say I will review a Ritz Brothers film or two someday.

I have figured out my first review in the new section and all I’m going to say is that no one will be able to guess the film in a million years.

metaldams · **Reply #481 on:** January 01, 2020, 04:22:28 PM

New year, new decade, new review and new section to the board. It’s a film I bet no one would have predicted I’d review. Next week I have a silent comedy classic in mind and the week after the next a Bud and Lou film. After that, anything goes.

I’m not really a fan and haven’t seen any of their films in years. That said, I plan to grab copies of a few to review eventually. They were too big an act not to review. I’m open to letting their films grow on me, I’ve seen maybe five or six of them.

luke795 · **Reply #484 on:** January 01, 2020, 08:04:26 PM

I have seen both the Ritz Brothers movies and Martin and Lewis movies at least twice.

I just checked out The Ritz Brothers on Amazon - I wasn’t aware so many were released on DVD. I only have a PD copy of THE GORILLA, presently. I’ll eventually buy a film or two and review them in the coming months.

metaldams · **Reply #486 on:** January 02, 2020, 07:32:16 PM

As this is being planned more, my goal is to get Abbott and Costello done in November, as I want ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEETS THE MUMMY to be my Halloween weekend film. I’ll map it out somehow. October will also be all horror comedies.

Never saw any of them, but I probably should. I thought Peter Sellers was excellent in DR. STRANGELOVE.

Review for Charlie Chaplin’s THE GOLD RUSH is now up, complete with YouTube clip where you can watch it. A true classic. Next week I’ll review the next Abbott and Costello film.

Review for MEXICAN HAYRIDE from Abbott and Costello is up. I have no clue what the next will review will be yet, but there’s a few ideas in mind.

The schedule for the next three weeks is next weekend will be THE CUCKOOS (1930) from Wheeler and Woolsey, which I just watched and the review is written. After that will be a W.C. Fields film, though there’s a few in mind I’m wrestling with doing. After that is AFRICA SCREAMS from Bud and Lou. If there are any films going forward you want me to review, just say the word. I’ll at least consider it.

Decided on THE BANK DICK. Thought I’d go familiar for Fields since next week I’m going obscure.

Review for Wheeler and Woolsey’s THE CUCKOOS now up. An obscure one, but an interesting film for pre code comedy fans. Next two weeks should be more familiar films.

Do you want to review the Martin and Lewis movie Scared Stiff for October?

I’ve never seen that one, but we’ll see. I’d have to seek it out.

I’m definitely reviewing Martin and Lewis in the next few months and AT WAR WITH THE ARMY is an obvious choice because it’s public domain and can be linked in YouTube.

metaldams · **Reply #497 on:** January 23, 2020, 09:25:23 PM

Ah yes, please place your symmetrical digits on the link below and gaze your eyes upon my original prose pertaining to W.C. Field’s 1940 film, THE BANK DICK. Contains a bartender by a guy who looks exactly like Shemp and is even billed with the same name.
