Buster at MGM......Speak Easily (1932)

Buster Keaton gave up creative control when he moved to MGM in 1929. Charlie Chaplin warned him NOT to do it. MGM teamed him with Jimmy Durante. The mix didn't work. But, the films made money, Buster turned to the Bottle and the rest is a sad history, followed by an amazing come back.
Here is a very racy poster released in Sweden. Interesting artwork to say the least.

Goodbye Mr. Harryhausen


I was happy to have met Mr. Harryhausen at Comic Con and Cinecon. He was nice enough to take the time to discuss his films and entertained this fanboy for several minutes. He opened the door to my imagination for years. Now he is reunited with his buddies Uncle Forry & Ray Bradbury.
