I’m glad Catchy Comedy is bringing back the classic comedians, but who would, or could, watch the Stooges for almost 48 hours? I’m a YUGE comedy fan, but most of these guys work best in small doses. That’s why their films ran just 16-20 minutes.
It’s funny you say that. I’ve been trying to have marathons recently, Harold Lloyd, Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, etc. I actually did get through Harry Langdon’s silent filmography in a matter of a couple of weeks, but only because it’s relatively shorter and if it was even a little longer, I wouldn’t have lasted.
You’re right, the older I get, the earlier, smaller doses indeed tend to be more satisfying. Spacing things out is the way to go, something I need to teach my naturally obsessive brain.
