    Do yourself a favor and look him up. Cinema pioneer. Seems cheesy now, groundbreaking at the time.

      There’s nothing Cheesy about the genuine technical marvel that was Buster Keaton doing slapstick cartoon shit in live action

        Seinfeld Effect in effect. :)

        Kinda like Rodney Dangerfield. Masterclass entertainer, seems silly now with all the lesser imitations.

        (For those not in the know, search “Dangerfield Carson show”. Man was fast on his feet, on top of his prepared shtick.)
