3 five-second clips over the years and I thought the whole movie was slapstick but there's a lot more to it. Plus the production values. And
it's suprisingly good quality. Highly recommended. With Buster

best of the silent comedians. Many years ago (in the 1970s) they ran
a festival at the National Film Theatre in the UK called "Golden
Silents" and they showed just about all of Buster Keaton's films.
As you say the prints are mostly of excellent quality. Buster Keaton
did all of his own stunts as well which is quite amazing when you see
some of them.
Apart from Charlie Chaplin the other, often forgotten now, great
silent film comedian was Harold Lloyd. If you get an ooportunity to
see one of his films they're good too.

There's some very subtle and mature humour in that film.
He must have been very fit. He throws himself around like an Olympic
athlete.
His girlfriend takes some buffeting too; thrown around, trampled on, >drenched.

I'm sure it was well made, I watched a bit. But it was not how Keaton
made it. It is like taking the Gioconda and unfuzzing it.

I never saw an earthquake movie that had vibration. I never saw
Cinerama, but I did see 2 3-D movies 30 years apart, and also one or two
3-D comic books. Those might still be available somewhere. Cardboard glasses with one eye red cellophane and the other eye blue cellophane.

I'm pretty sure "4-D Movies" were a thing a while back. Basically, all
the seats were on a tilt piece that moved around in sync with the movie.
Some also had extra effects like spraying smoke in or scents. I thought
it was cool, but it definitely was gimmicky.

A hour 19 minutes but watch some and decide it it's worth it. I >>>>>>>> thought
so.
YT also has the colorized version. As does Amazon Prime for those who >>>>>> use
it...

Yak, colour... :-(
I thought the color version I watched on Amazon Prime was well done. But I >>>> can see where purists might think it in bad taste.
I'm sure it was well made, I watched a bit. But it was not how Keaton
made it. It is like taking the Gioconda and unfuzzing it.
They're always screwing
up movies with improvements aren't they. Some stuck, some didn't. Some that
didn't:
I remember the movie Earthquake. They shook the theatre seats with
vibrators and large woofers. The theatre in my town was structurally damaged and had
to shut down for a while. Then there was Cinerama with the three
projectors. And 3D...
That would be fun :-)
But I wasn't lucky to enjoy any of that.
I never saw an earthquake movie that had vibration. I never saw
Cinerama, but I did see 2 3-D movies 30 years apart, and also one or two
3-D comic books. Those might still be available somewhere. Cardboard
glasses with one eye red cellophane and the other eye blue cellophane.
It really worked.
I'm pretty sure "4-D Movies" were a thing a while back. Basically, all
the seats were on a tilt piece that moved around in sync with the movie.
Some also had extra effects like spraying smoke in or scents. I thought
it was cool, but it definitely was gimmicky.

There are "rides" like that at Disneyland etc. now. They're really
good. The first one I experienced was hang-gliding over America's
pretty places. Wind, seats tilted, other effects -- it felt real and
was wonderful Others were equally "real" but not as interesting --
comic adventures, etc.
They've GOT to be cheaper to build and run than the 'actual' rides, and
have the possibility of being better. Although it's hard to imagine how
a roller coaster could be simulated well enough. My grandson and I are
the only coaster fans in the family, but the last time we went to Magic Mountain I rode ONE MORE than he did!

Oh cool, if I ever decide to go to Disneyland again, I'll check it out.
Speaking of, I wonder if adding vr in is still around.

Would you get up and run if you were in this one?

All things considered, the prices Disney charges are ridiculous. Based
on previous experience you HAVE to spring for the extra privileges
unless you want to spend all your time standing in lines.
