This Day In Buster…January 11th 1920…

‘The Garage’ is released, as is that tire & we hope a few laughs ;) This is another ‘Comique’ short that gets it’s premise from multiplicity; the garage of the title also serves as a fire station.  It’s also the last ‘Comique’ short as the next title Buster Keaton put out was under his own studios.

Watching The Garage.  Release 100 years ago today! <3 Buster

I just can’t even with the people bringing up Olivia de Havilland’s age and saying how she’ll lose this lawsuit, and even worse saying that she’s just doing it for attention or fame.

LOOK AT HER FAME.

LOOK AT HER SUCCESS.

LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME SOMEONE TOLD DAME OLIVIA MARY DE HAVILLAND THAT SHE COULDN’T WIN A LAWSUIT.
