If You Must Know

The things that I come up with... There's a lot of Buster on here, but I have other things to say on occasion. So, if you like Buster Keaton and can tolerate me, you are welcome to follow this blog. Ask me Stuff!

Buster Keaton at the “Hell’s Angel’s” premiere November 1930.

He looks so elegant in these pictures…and smokin’ hot, of course.

I made this a few years ago. Nice to see it's getting around. Not sure where anyone got it from since I don't think I posted it on tumblr, but glad everyone likes it.

PechaKucha Night Bryan, Vol. 4 Poster Design: Jennifer Robertson Image: John Firth, IODP Note: This is an image of anhydrite-quartz (pyrite), veining between volcanic fragments. The volcanic rock has cracks in it, and the cracks have been filled with new minerals - anhydrite, the multicolored ones, quartz, the white and gray smaller ones, and pyrite, the opaque black spots. The upper right corner also shows greenish stuff surrounding black pyrite and white/gray quartz. That greenish stuff (GSC) is green clay that formed when the original surrounding volcanic glass de-vitrified (crystallized) into minerals.

Laura (1944)

Clifton Webb, Dana Andrews, Gene Tierney. Dir: Otto Preminger. This post is part of the TCM Discoveries Blogathon, hosted by The Nitrate Diva. I shall never forget the weekend I saw Laura on TCM. It was…oh, crap. When was it? Okay, I have forgotten the weekend I saw Laura. But I haven’t forgotten the film. It stayed with me strongly for hours after I watched it, so much so that I couldn’t get…

We’re Engaged!

[plum68]

roblyerhartsoelove:

Two weeks ago, while we (Andrew and Joe) were in Michigan, the Supreme Court handed down their decision in Obergefell v. Hodges. It was Friday, June 26, 2015 and both of us were excited as we had previously talked about wanting to get married…someday. Sitting together, having watched the SCOTUS blog giving live updates and facebooking in excitement, we were experiencing so many things. Knowing that we had the right to get married and obtain all of the legal benefits that go with that, we were feeling relieved and exhilarated. We were trying to get dressed and go to brunch but we were too enthralled with the decision and celebration to be moved. The conversation went something like this:

Andrew: (something unrelated to the following conversation)

Joe: …Do you want to marry me?

Andrew: Wait, did you just propose?

Joe: I’m not sure! (Joe’s such a smooth and charismatic individual…)

It wasn’t expected and certainly not planned, so neither of us knew what to do with it.

As we ate brunch, Andrew looked over to Joe and asked, “Do you want to marry me?” Joe immediately said yes and so we started discussing engagement, what that meant to us, and how we were going to proceed. While our proposal was not a “fairy tale” kind of proposal, it was typically us. (which, honestly, is even #betterthanafairytale) One thing we’ve said from the beginning is that this relationship is going to be done on our terms, in our time, and in our weird/unconventional/beautiful way.

We welcome you to the journey and thank you for being such a wonderful part of our lives. This blog is going to be periodically updated with pictures, various stories and thoughts, and possibly a video or two, so that you can follow along on our journey toward this milestone in our lives. Love wins!

People I love who love each other!! And now they can get married! Even in Texas!

Paper doll Buster.

happy celebratory day remembering the date many years ago in which you escaped from your mother's depths c:

esCAPed oh my god

we must stop this woman

[plum68]

I stopped on my own. You would too if you had the kids I had. Of course, that would probably involve some sort of implosion.

Though Three Ages is technically the first Buster Keaton feature, it feels like more of an extension of his short film work than a cohesive feature film. Our Hospitality (1923) on the other hand feels more like a proper feature debut and boy is it a strong one! Keaton has made more epic...

[plum68]

Small wonder that Three Ages feels like a glorified two-reeler when it was filmed to be split up as three two-reelers in the off-chance that people couldn't handle a feature-length Buster Keaton film.

What the?  I don’t even.

And more added. I don’t know how to feel about all of this.  It is either the most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen or the most erotic.  I think it’s a combination of both.

This scene really is strange. And - again - I have no idea which film it might be from. Can you help me?

It's from The Timid Young Man. http://youtu.be/NiHaPh7t4u4

Happy New Year, peoples!
