Which Buster Keaton short ends with Buster in a nursery, pulling down a window shade with the words THE END on it? If memory serves, this is a hard cut from the previous scene, which ended on a train; it cuts to a toy train wreck, and then a zoom out to Buster setting up a toy train and his wife in a rocking chair with a baby. I’ve seen the closing shot as a gif but I can’t remember which film it is.
I have a job interview on Tuesday. How would eclipse season affect a road opening ritual?
Are there any articles about why so many silent comedians played ukulele?
Title says it all. I’m doing pin curls but I don’t have access to a salon supply store. What should I get to set the curls?
Does the Hadestown program book for sale on the website have photos of the original cast? I wanted a photo of Andre De Shields for a scrapbook.
I’m guessing that the triangle means either I’m lying to myself or I have a work-related issue, but that doesn’t resonate. Any advice?
Sam Neill was not only a very good actor, he was also a ukulele player. Here are some of his performances.
Right here. I see your "I miss phoebefuckingbridgers dot com" and raise you "I miss @ Phoebe_dweebe"
I have a big stack of postcards from Boston-area museums and I’d like to make some new friends! I’m especially interested in sharing notable quotes and exchanging lists of things we love.
• US only
• Please no Harry Potter, Sandman, pinup art, or AI
• BIG YES to museum and library postcards
• I’d love to make friends with someone in Nashville, as I will be there next spring
Who wants to be my postcard pal?
Hey everyone! My name is Chelsea and I’m a paralegal student in Eastern Massachusetts. I’m lonely and kind of isolated and I would like to make some new pen friends. (I’m traveling to Nashville for my birthday next year and I’m especially interested in exchanging letters with anyone in Nashville.)
My interests include:
• reading. I read a lot of nonfiction and my current interest is early Hollywood and silent comedy. (Buster Keaton is my favorite.)
• movies. I go to at least one movie a week and I especially enjoy indie films. My favorite movie of all time is Jaws, my favorite movie that no one’s heard of is Shirkers, and the last movie I saw was Tuner.
• music, listening: I’m into 90s alternative and 1950s vocal jazz. My all-time favorite bands are Sparks and Hüsker Dü, my current favorite band is Say Sue Me, and the last concert I saw was The Breeders.
• music, playing: I play the ukulele but I treat it like a musical instrument 😉 I’m currently learning how to play ragtime style so I can do a live score of Buster Keaton’s Cops.
• local history.
• traveling, even though most of my traveling is up and down I95 to visit my family.
• handcrafts: I’m a big knitter and I’m going to take sewing lessons in August.
• collecting and sharing hotel stationery.
• writing letters.
So with all that said…anyone want to exchange letters with me?
I’m visiting Nashville for my birthday next year and I’d love to make some friends there! I’m interested in music (particularly punk, folk, and jazz), silent films, reading, and learning to draw. Anyone in Nashville want to exchange letters with me?
I’ve seen the Pearl Jam/Woman of the World mashup and was unimpressed, but maybe this one will work?
A friend of mine saw a Harry Langdon movie in a film class where he killed his wife and spent the movie carting her around like in Weekend At Bernie’s. Anyone know which movie this was?
Thank you to everyone who helped with research for this! I see Courtney as a complicated figure and a credible actress, which I hope comes through in the article.
I’m working on an article about Courtney’s Criterion series and I’ve been doing some research on how she got cast in People Vs Larry Flynt and what it was like for her to make the movie. There’s not as much online as I expected. Do any of the magazine collectors have interviews with her from that press tour?
Last year I released a song-for-song cover of No 1 in Heaven by Sparks on the ukulele. I'm playing a few shows for Boston Fringe this year and released "Academy Award Performance" as a single! I'm playing a Magic Fluke Firefly Flapper banjolele in reentrant tuning. Enjoy!
I accidentally deleted the stems from a project and when I hit ctrl-z to undo the deletion, Garageband crashed. I reopened the project and was unable to retrieve the stems. I zipped the file and apparently the stems are still there, but I don't know how to get to them. Whenever I open the zip file on my Mac it just opens as a Garageband file. What can I do to retrieve the individual stems and put them in a new Garageband project?
