Where a Redneck Jew, a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
I admit I love a good stunt. That is the main reason I watch Bond movies and Hooper has a special place in my heart. I remember watching my first Buster Keaton movie and realize “there are not the same old stunts. These are the dawn of the stunts!”
And yes, there were some before. but he was the Merlin of them all.
Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Keaton was great and his career ran into the 60s. Harold Lloyd was pretty good as well.
I really need to go watch some of his actual movies instead of these great stunts
The General and Safety Last.
And no stunts, but I recommend this one:
Once Upon a Time
The Twilight Zone: Season 3, Episode 13
Hell yeah, love me some Buster Keaton. Of course Chaplin is good too, but he’s almost cliche. I remember watching his “Pawn Shop Skit” at my grandfather’s house as a kid, and I laughed until I cried the last time I watched it again. Easily his best, in my opinion. All of these old films fascinate me for the window they give into life back in that era. The streets, the people, the furnishings, the cars and trains. In some ways it is familiar, because it was the beginning of the modern era, but in other ways it’s almost alien because of the things that are no longer the same.
