Introduction to the weekly episode discussions

Cool! Looking forward to it. I’ll be getting to Max Linder either tonight or tomorrow. A real quick short, from 1906, I believe!

Max Linder review now up! My next review I’m thinking will be a Hal Roach short with an actor we all know not usually related to Roach. We shall see.

Going to both try to get in the Langdon short and get in my next review by the end of this weekend. My next review is WISE GUYS PREFER BRUNETTES. A Stan Laurel directed silent short that has Ted Healy in it!

I finally get my momentum back and... I got C0VID... again. My plan is to review the 1935 talkie comedy movie ATLANTIC ADVENTURE next as it co-stars Harry Langdon.

Hope you feel better soon, Paul.

Next three reviews will be JOY LAND from Lupino Lane, THE KID BROTHER from Harold Lloyd and the next Bud and Lou episode.

Break out the Stooge detectors for GOODNESS, A GHOST! starring Harry Langdon: https://moronika.com/forums/index.php?topic=7159

Just needed a mini break. A combination of being in a horror film mood, a mini cold (nothing major) and plans. Plus the old Stooge threads seem to be gaining traction as of late. I’ll review THE KID BROTHER fairly soon.

Paul Pain · **Reply #862 on:** August 25, 2023, 03:06:31 PM

After a miserable 5 months, today I finally took the time to watch MISBEHAVING HUSBANDS. Hopefully, soon we can get back to some shorts so that we can get back to more regular discussions. Look for a thread to be posted tonight!

Nice! It’s been awhile, you might inspire me to get off my butt. I’ll check this out this weekend. Whatever it was that ailed you, I hope it’s behind you now and you’re all better.

I just haven't had the time to sit down and watch a talkie movie start to finish.

Going to get back in the review ring soon, but it won’t be weekly. Frankly, reviewing films for ten years straight without a break left me a little burned out and I have been watching old comedy again after even taking a break from that (Italian giallo films have been an obsession these past six months or so).

I don’t want to do the pace I did before but also don’t want to abandon things permanently. I’ll find the right pace. Want to continue Bud and Lou and do sone Vitaphone Shemp, Essanay Chaplin, Charley Chase and whatever else tickles my fancy at the moment.

Hey, guys - take all the time you want or need. We enjoy reading your reviews when you post them, but I don't think anyone expects you guys to keep to a steady grind of them or anything. Frankly, I'm amazed that you've stuck at it for so long; pleased, but amazed. lol

Paul Pain · **Reply #868 on:** September 25, 2023, 12:24:00 PM

After a brief delay, we get to DOUBLE TROUBLE with Harry Langdon and Charley Rogers.

A Bert Wheeler short, Mel Blanc’s only appearance in the live action Columbia shorts department, and more rarities? That uploader deserves a medal for their work!

Yes, as GreenCanaries mentioned, Mel is in GOLD IS WHERE YOU LOSE IT. He does his Porky Pig voice on camera, which I had long suspected was the case, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover he even threw a Woody Woodpecker laugh in at the end of his bit!
