Film & Shorts Discussions => The Three Stooges - Curly Years => Topic started by: metaldams on February 18, 2015, 09:30:08 PM

This is just for fun, and ultimately I make the final decision, so take the results with a grain of salt. I'm going to throw a bunch of names, and you get vote who to discuss next after The Three Stooges and Laurel and Hardy. My heart's really set on Buster Keaton for at least one of the next ones, but I still would like your opinions. Please state who you voted for and why.
-
I voted for The Little Rascals ( no surprise there) because their work is timeless & can make you remember memories of the past. ( Plus, occasionally there's some really cute kids, especially Baby Spanky McFarland.)
-
I voted "Abbott and Costello", mostly because they are the team I'm most familiar with from the list you provided. Plus I think it would be fun to discuss some of those early A & C features, and whether or not anyone thinks Buck Privates is as overrated as I think it is.... :P
-
I voted for Abbott and Costello. I think I got into them from seeing Africa Screams which also stars Shemp and Joe Besser. If Abbott and Costello is next, them after them I would to see reviews for Martin & Lewis and the Ritz Brothers. Now I have only watched the Martin & Lewis movies once. The Ritz Brothers movies I have seen at least 2 times.

Same here, Abbott and Costello gets my vote. I am not familiar with any of those other comedians in the poll. Pathetic, but true. :-[

As far as BUCK PRIVATES, you're definitely not the only one! A few funny scenes, but the film leaves me cold on several levels, which I'm sure I'll get to someday.

....and come on! Where are the legions of Larry Semon fans? :)

That was probably meant to be sarcastic, but I am a Larry Semon fan, actually! His work just doesn't appeal to me as much as the others listed do, and I find his work interesting for they have both Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy ( but, not in the same movies together) before their teaming. It's a shame not much people know about him, and even more so that he died at such a young age and that he could barely get to see co-stars Laurel and Hardy become famous, as a team!
I didn't know there was much A&C fans on this board.... A&C do appeal to me and I like their routines, except if I were to give them a rating out of 10, it would probably be a 9.5, while other options would be rated a 10. There's a lot more that are better than A&C.

SERIOUSLY?? C'mon, you've got to at least be familiar with Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton!!!! If not, I strongly recommend Googling some of the people that are listed, because I'll garauntee almost all of them have interesting life stories, especially Fatty Arbuckle. While his life story is among one of the sadder ones, I find it to be very interesting, and you can keep on finding different things to learn about, especially when one of his lost films is discovered.

To tell the truth, I've never even seen Buck Privates! Only if it has Shemp and The Andrews Sisters in it, I'm watching it... and I'm not kidding.

I like Larry Semon too. He doesn't have the greatest character like a Chaplin or Langdon but he's just good enough and the destruction of property in his films is mind blowing! If someone's idea of comedy is things being destroyed at a very expensive rate, fat men being covered in various gooey substances, a black character named G. Howe Black (I had a black friend laugh hysterically when I mentioned this, by the way), and crazy stunts done by everybody in Hollywood except the comedian himself, than Larry Semon comedies should be right up your alley. Not exactly intellectual masterpieces, but bizzare enough to keep me interested. It looks like a book is being released about him this summer, I plan to buy it.

Keaton would be my choice, as he's my favorite person in film. However, I imagine that Our Gang/Little Rascals would probably be more familiar than Keaton to lots of Stooges fans (maybe even more so than Laurel and Hardy), and might generate more discussion. (Personally, A&C's characters and movies never appealed to me at all — although I see that many other folks favor them.)

Based on my wheelhouse, I view Keaton's body of work in the twenties to be the single greatest artistic achievement in one decade in the entire twentieth century, Beatles in the sixties included (Harold Lloyd ain't too shabby either, and Chaplin, great as he was, was less prolific that decade).
As for Bud and Lou, I don't know if other people favor them because of them working with Shemp, the fact their films were on television a lot, or simply because they made talkies. Either way, while I like Bud and Lou, so many of their films are interchangeable. Not all, but a lot of them. Their TV show was best, but there's no way their body of work is close to twenties Keaton.

The "comedians" I prefer would never be considered by you guys... Lucille Ball, Bea Arthur...
While I admit I have not seen most of those guys, I know for a fact that I do not like THE LITTLE RASCALS, and before you ask I never did like them from when I was a little brother just this high.

I've been wanting to revisit I LOVE LUCY for the longest time, so you never know. That said, some of these other names, as well as Laurel and Hardy and The Marx Brothers, are well worth visiting. You can write a book on gags silent comedians used that later appeared in Stooge shorts.

I am sure I will get there.

Why don't you like The Little Rascals? They're all so cute!!

I'm a bit in the middle of you two on this. The best Our Gang films do have some great humor, there just aren't enough of them. It is true that a lot of the Our Gang films get by on cuteness, or in some cases, even how children should behave. I seem to remember a short or two with kids balling their eyes out in tears and getting punished, not exactly my idea of a good time. That said, the best Our Gang shorts are as good as anything else, you just have to search harder to find them.

Hey you guys -- how about Looney Tunes, maybe Bugs Bunny cartoons in particular? No?

Well, I'd have to real creative here. Aren't there over 1,000 of those cartoons? Weekly would take twenty years!
For the record, I love Looney Tunes. A straight release of the shorts in order would be manna from Heaven, but it will never happen for several reasons (too many black and white cartoons early on = perceived low sales potential, racial cartoons, the sheer number of shorts to restore, etc.). I only own volume one of THE GOLDEN COLLECTION myself, been meaning to pick up more. Definitely a childhood staple for me, and if you or anybody else have a creative way to do this, and if I can find some of these on YouTube, I'd consider. The interest has to be there too, which is not always a given.
-
The straight answer for me is this: There are a few TV shows I would have a blast reviewing-- I Love Lucy, Star Trek: TOS, Mister Ed... actually, those are the only shows I have seen every episode of besides one episode of Mama's Family and a handful of Golden Girls episodes. I would have tons of fun reviewing these, heck I could probably lead the reviews on all of them (and have considered asking for such) I have watched them with such dedication...
I also think that we are in a short-subject/vaudevillian film forum, and as a result I see no problem with the Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, Buster Keaton, Fatty Arbuckle, etc. being brought up here. But I don't think there's room for Lucy, Kirk, and Bea on here as those were all sitcoms (yes, Star Trek is a sitcom in my book only without a live audience or laugh track).
Not as for animated short subjects... I judgeth not.

Okay; just thought I'd throw it out there; the Bugs Bunny ones especially; there are 180 of those. Just got the 6-volume Golden Collection a few years ago and they are just awesome.
-
Star Trek: TOS,
OMG; I am the biggest original series nerd on the planet. I would definitely do TOS. I know this isn't the place for Trek or Looney Tunes. While you guys are doing the other B/W comedians I'll catch up on Stooges reviews. I can only do Stooges; no other vintage comedians. I've tried them; I just don't get them or don't care; everything else pales in comparison to my boys.
-
I love the Rascals just as good as the Stooges, though the gang's style differed greatly than that of the Stooges, not as slapstick oriented.

As far as TV shows, I am borrowing my brother's MARRIED...WITH CHILDREN DVD's and watching them in order. I'm on season 4 now. Always have loved that show. My taste in sitcoms is more 80's and 90's oriented (SEINFELD, FRASIER, COSBY SHOW, and yeah even sappy stuff like FULL HOUSE for nostalgic purposes). Never could be a Trekkie, don't ask me why. My uncle and cousin certainly are. As far as the other stuff, all shows I haven't seen in years, but enjoyed as a kid. I LOVE LUCY is a show I'd love to revisit, so who knows.

Hey, to each their own, but I get the feeling Our Gang is more popular around here than Laurel and Hardy, and that I don't get for the life of me. I guess I just prefer consistent characters. Our Gang, for very obvious reasons, had to change the cast too much. Well, I still like some of those shorts, though, and I'm sure I'll revisit the series again someday.

Well, if you ever decide to do I LOVE LUCY or any of the others I listed, you have a person willing to conduct the train you're driving!

I have already stated my feelings based on what little Laurel and Hardy and what little Our Gang I have seen, and I side with metaldams.

Nice; okay. Thank you!

I am seriously considering exploring Chapin, Keaton, Semon, or Fields.

I would do the other three before Semon. Not that Semon's bad, just more sight gag oriented but not much character. Plus his films are scattered and not always restored. The other three you can't go wrong, but if you're going to explore Chaplin, start no earlier than his 1916 Mutual films through his features. His stuff from the first two years, while good for a seasoned fan, is not an ideal intro. I actually was introduced to Chaplin through some 1915 shorts and was not initially won over. For Keaton, just make sure you start anything silent, can't go wrong, and Fields, I'd start with any 1934 or 1935 film not named MISSISSIPPI or 1940's THE BANK DICK, which has Shemp in a support role. Fields is hysterical, I think you'll like him.

But destruction for destruction's sake :D

Ooh, yeah! If anybody has that bonus footage DVD that Columbia released a few years ago containing some Shemp, Besser and DeRita solo shorts, the bonus footage DVD contains some Merrie Melodies cartoons where The Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, and The Marx Brothers all appear. I would also be open to the possibility of discussing Mickey Mouse cartoons, while we're on the cartoon subject.
-
Well, I am currently set to take the lead of short discussions after we finish the DeRita features. Merrie Melodies and Mickey Mouse are amongst the things I can guarantee won't be discussed.

Do you think we'll ever get around to discussing Chaplin or Keaton? Or if silent films aren't your thing, are we ever going to discuss Abbott and Costello?

Personally, I would love to do Chaplin and Keaton, but I honestly believe responses would be minimal. I would MUCH rather discuss Chaplin and Keaton than Palma Stooges. The Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy got minimal responses for the most part. I'm on my Big Papi farewell tour as far as starting reviews. It's been a long and fascinating ride.
-
The Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy both have very interesting bodies of work. I'm frankly surprised not as much people responded. I tried to respond to most of the early L&H discussions as ShempIsAwesome78, but it seemed like the early sound films got minimal responses. It's a shame. I would've loved to see people's opinions on such classics as Sons of the Desert and Way Out West. It also would've been interesting to see people's responses to the Fox film discussions and Atoll K.

Well, but this time next year, maybe some of that will finally come to fruition.
We'll see about Chaplin or Keaton. But right now, I have my focus on some folks in particular, but it'll depend on how strong the reviews for some of these will be. I find it easy to get 40 minutes in a week to watch a short and write a review, but I'm just a college student! :D

That'd be no fun to divulge my secrets. But things will be a bit haphazard, I imagine, as so many comedians have lost* films. But there are plenty of great films out there. I hope to explore the non-Stooge work of some of the greatest Stooge foils ever. We'll discover some gems and some phlegms, but I'll try to keep it entertaining if I can!
*So many great comedians aren't in circulation primarily because the studios have willingly chosen to not release those films. Such as Columbia, which more or less only released the films of Harry Langdon, the Three Stooges, and any shorts they starred or co-starred in, like the Besser, DeRita, and Shemp solos, plus some of Shemp's co-starring roles in Andy Clyde films and the Glove Slingers series.

I wish Harry Langdon's stuff was released, though some shorts are on YouTube.
For Columbia, other than Stooge related shorts, Buster Keaton and Charley Chases' films are on DVD.

Unfortunately, I am limited to that which can be found on a $0 budget, so I am limited to what I can find posted on the web. I will certainly check for Buster and Charley, though!
Harry Langdon will probably get discussed... in an indirect way ;)

So after next week's finale, are we going to do the Stooges' feature films once weekly?

Not written in stone yet but I'm seriously considering it. If anything, they seem to be the team a lot of Stooge fans like, so I have a feeling it may draw some interest.

Ok, I'm dumb--I'm navigating the board & don't see a Chaplin section. Missed train or has he not been discussed?

We never discussed Chaplin. As much as I'd like to, I'm not sure it would get much of a response.
Abbott and Costello there's a chance with, though. Diesel, I imagine you'd respond, right? I know you're a fan. If I'm going to do this, I want to make sure enough people are responding if I'm going to spend a year reviewing them. Anyone else interested?
-
Honestly, Metal, I'm not "well-versed" in Chaplin--I just started rewatching it again after getting some PD DVDs & was like yeah, dude is funny (you can imagine). So far, I've seen a handful of the early shorts from the 14-15 period & remember the "Gold Rush" and something else I saw on TCM where he adopted a kid, or something.
As for A & C, I'm up for it--even if does begin with Buck Privates; or would One Night in the Tropics be a better start?
:P
-
For Abbott and Costello, I could probably just share my blog reviews (I know I haven't posted in a while, but that's because I've been busy. I plan on returning to it soon).
I suppose I'd be up for talking about Chaplin, though I don't know if I could survive 36 weeks of Keystone films.
-
It looks like I'm going to do Abbott and Costello, thanks guys. I will start at BUCK PRIVATES and the goal is to do all the features and depending on how I feel, maybe even the TV episodes as well. That would last a couple of years if I did that but let's just say features for now with possibility of TV. The features will be newer for me while as I've seen and own them all with the exception of DANCE WITH ME HENRY, there's only a handful I've seen more than once. Basically my favorite Bud and Lou is the TV show, monster films, and a few other features outside of that sprinkled in. This should be an interesting journey.
Sam, I'm glad you mentioned the blog because I know you've reviewed a lot of these films already, so yeah, copy and paste your reviews if you want and throw in an extra link to advertise your blog. I have on and off troubles posting responses because of Google Plus and I'm not of Facebook. I did want to respond to your Ritz Brothers review because we have the exact same opinion on that team. Can't tell the guys apart and actually think the musical and dance stuff is their strong point. Beyond my understanding, Mel Brooks worships those guys.
As far as 36 weeks of Keystone films, believe me, I had the same thought. If I ever do Chaplin, I have a few ways around that.
-
I think you should start Abbott and Costello with One Night in the Tropics. It has some of the best Abbot and Costello routines Who’s On First, Mustard Routine, Money Changing, Jonah and the Whale, Paid In Full, and Two Tens For a Five. It also stars Allan Jones from the Marx Brothers movies A Night at the Opera and A Day at the Races, William Frawley from I Love Lucy, and even Charlie Hall from Laurel and Hardy in a small part.

You can start a thread on it in general discussion if you'd like, but I do starring films of relative comedians only and Bud and Lou don't even appear until 15 or 20 minutes in. Yes, it is important to their history and I will make sure it gets a mention when I do BUCK PRIVATES.
There's a part of me that wants to wait 8 weeks once I'm done with the Roach films for two reasons. One is once we go post Roach with Laurel and Hardy, things might really be a graveyard here and Bud and Lou every other week would offset that. Secondly, reviewing BUCK PRIVATES and GREAT GUNS back to back would be very interesting. The only downside is I'm not sure I want to wait eight weeks. Stay tuned for when I make my decision.

In general, I've found it hard to comment on Blogger as well, though in your case, it might have to do with a recent notification I got in which Blogger apparently doesn't support Google+ comments anymore. No idea why they did that.
I'd heard about Mel Brooks liking the Ritz Brothers. Apparently Harry briefly appears in SILENT MOVIE. I haven't seen that in a long time.
