Why are Keaton, Lloyd and Chaplin the "Big Three?"
Posted: Mon Jun 08, 2009 2:06 pm
Because newbies might be intimidated by zero posts, and its the obvious starting question.
Other obvious ones...
Why is ranking beyond that utterly pointless? Why isn't (Fill in the blank) up there with the "Big Three?"
Where is the line between a short comedy and a feature comedy.
Where's the Girl comics forums? Like Dorothy Gish, Dutch Talmadge and Colleen Moore?
Why aren't there plots in Larry Semon films?
Why was Roscoe Arbuckle called Fatty when Mack Swain outweighed him by at least 50 pounds?
Why is Harry Langdon's face so white.
Why is Lloyd Hamilton so much better without Bud Duncan?
Why are Laurel and Hardy so darned funny?
Why didn't Lupino Lane make it bigger than he did?
Why is the sky blue, yet looks white on silent film?
What's a reel anyway?
Why did somebody dunk this film into brown and/or blue dye?
What is under/over cranking?
Why didn't Griffith make great comedies? (DW, not Raymond)
That should be a start....
