Oh. My. Stars.

A top-notch Spoonerism. Those are rare.

Very funny today. Saw a lot of BK films in my early years. Had a comedic touch that few could match and a great athletic talent.

To attract attention toward the possible project, he made a lot of noise and flashed a lot of cash at producers – he tried to to bluster sweeten the pot.

He couldn’t get funding, so in the end, it was Buster Beaten.

Steve Goodman:

♪♫ "The last thing that General Custer said

When he looked up and saw all the Sioux

Was, "I don’t know where I’m going

But I’m going nowhere in a hurry too".

A fatal dose of the "I don’t know where I’m going

But I’m going nowhere in a hurry" blues." ♫♪

NICE!

Too soon! Too soon!

but he couldn’t find a piano player for the project…!

They used unique things, like plot, story, character development, and appeal to imagination.

Keaton was a genius.

He had a flan and he followed through on it.

Buster Keaton! Timeless comedy.

The production was cancelled after the local tribe threatened to Sioux.

buster was one cool dude

Velly cleber cartoon guys…

Buster was one of the greats!

One of the best puns ever!

Beat that, Jason!

Ouch, my brain hurts.

I’m very fond of his appearance on The Twilight Zone (“Once Upon a Time” in 1961).

Keaton did his own stunts and one of them was falling out of a water tower for steam locomotives onto a set of railroad tracks. Many years later he went in for an X-ray for something else. The doctor looked at the X-ray film and asked him when he had broken his neck. He had to think for some time before he remembered that he had a sore neck for several days after that stunt years before.

Both Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd deserve more credit than they get now. Charlie Chaplin was great, of course, but so were both of them. Kudos to them all!

Brilliant Spoonerism!
