My grandfather (born mid 1920’s) told me about going to the nickel and dime movie theaters as a child to see Buster Keaton shorts before they had installed sound. He said that the nickel theater would have a live piano, but the dime theaters had popcorn and an organ. I’d love to take in a movie like that in my lifetime.

@@howtocookazombie Intresting. As someone actually intrested in tech, this was a fun read. The first thing was your complete misunderstanding of the word “joke” Second of all, you forgot to mention many things in why cameras now are more complex, such as: compression, frame rate, bit rate, the actual codec and quality of comonents. And if you were actually really into it, you would know that they used silver hallide crystals. Plus, we didn’t start from scratch. We still had all our knowledge on lenses, projection, and foucousing. Tv existed ever since 1926, and we knew how to create a raster scan of an image, plus, we knew about photo-sencing materials that sent out electricity when reacted, either directly, or by restricting previous current flow. It isn’t TOO hard to make that a digital signal. I’ll even do it here: take the analogue frequency, find it’s intensity and map which of 256 shades (assuming you use 8 bit colour ) it is nearest to, and then to display it, take the info, and restrict current flow very precisely according to the ones and zeros (or essentially a dac).

It's a miracle that "young" Buster Keaton got through all the crazy dangerous stunts he did without getting killed. Probably no one would be allowed to do that today. I know he survived because I've seen the "old" Buster Keaton interviewed on TV. 😮

Buster Keaton was breakin the fourth wall a century ago with his visual gags, now that's peak comedy.

I'd watched some silent movies before but this is my 1st Buster Keaton movie. I'd been recommended but I've finally watched it. Man oh man is he a genius.I love the creativity he & his team had to come up with & to make the movie enjoyable & some of the gags he managed to slipped in. Everything is simply wonderful!

A hundred years later and still hilarious!

Thanx so much for sharing! Buster Keaton. What a man. He could do it all. And did! No CGI. No camera tricks. What you saw was all Buster. Wrote. Directed. Produced. Acted. Comedy. Drama. Composed, played, and sang. Conceived and executed stunts. Designed and built machines and props for gags. The famous watertower torrent broke his neck! (Sherlock Jr. --- Buster didn't account for such water pressure And he didn't know he'd broken his neck 'til years later at a routine exam when his doctor told him so.) And, oh, that well-known falling housefront bit! (Steamboat Bill Jr. --- He only had about a 2" clearance in that window.) Quite impressive! The Great Stone Face. (Buster found out during his time in vaudeville with his parents, that if he laughed during a bit, the audience didn't, so he trained himself to keep a straight face all the time.) The Greatest of All Time! A really great guy. The true Iron Man: broke most every bone in his body, and kept going. And . . . He had pinpoint accuracy with a custard pie at 27 feet, even in his later years! RIP, darling Buster, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories. (Yes. I absolutely adore Buster Keaton. For 70+ years now.)

You know this better then things on tv that I can find now

Today, 9/1/2020 is the 100th Anniversary of this movie. What a wonderful film 🏆👏👏👏👏

Several years ago at the Somerville Theater (just outside of Boston) I saw Steamboat Bill, Jr. (one of Keaton's two best feature films, I think) done with a live 3-man group called The Alloy Orchestra, who write new, original scores for silent films. It was not only a great experience to see a film like that in a theater with live music, but it showed me a part of the experience I would not have imagined: hearing the audience. With more subtle "observed" humor (like something being missing that he expected to be there) the laughter was lower in volume AND in pitch -- it was adults "getting" the subtle jokes. When it was slapstick (big, physical comedy), the children would laugh as well, letting out high-pitched, loud laughter, a wonderful sound. Plus, because the music was just an "atmosphere-setter" (important as that is), people talking, commenting, explaining what just happened, even shouting at the screen (kids: "Look out!"), etc. was NOT a problem, as you missed nothing and it just added to the general enjoyment and hubbub in the theater. I wish more theaters would show family-friendly silent comedies (so, all of them!) with or without live music -- it is a great experience!

This guy is an ALL around actor. Holy shit the danger he put himself in to get these shots is phenomenal

This has made me forget about the COVID-19 for a while... Almost cracked my ribs. #staysafe. Love ue Keaton fans.
