primal-meridian asked: So, lately I've been wanting to get into Buster Keaton movies... have you any recommendations? (I mean, knowing you I'm sure you do but...)

All of them, uh I mean, well actually no so okay here’s the thing; after 1928 Buster had his direction taken away from him (because MGM were idiots) and while The Cameraman is a classic it was directed by his best buddie (who basically let him direct unofficially), the rest after that go steadily downhill which is sad and poopy. SO basically watch anything from 1928 or before- personally I love Sherlock Jr the best but the 2-reeler shorts are a great way to break into Keaton too, like The Scarecrow and One Week those are super cute. I also like Convict 13 and The High Sign!
