    Beautifully done. I love, LOVE this video tribute. (It made me a little weepy, to be honest.)

      Thanks very much. I think it's the combination of BK and the music-- both are beautiful.

    This kind of hokum was in the character of all the artists during his time in showbiz. His genius in filmmaking came from being raised on the vaudeville stages where magic was used for their special effects. He was just evolving it for the movie screen and the technology. Nothing psychological. He was just adapting to the new showbiz of that era.

    Aw, that was just lovely. Perfect music and perfect clips--and so many of them were subtler moments that not everyone thinks to include. Thank you so much for contributing this to the blogathon--I know it takes a lot of time to edit these kinds of videos!

    What a sweet video! I had to look up hokum because of this article, and now I know a new word: it means "nonsense". :D Thanks for this video, I enjoyed rewatching all my favorite stunts and gags.

      Glad you enjoyed it! I guess "hokum" is sort of an old-fashioned word today.

    That was wonderful! The Photoplay article realy makes me think... Surrealism and the unexpected are part of slapstick comedy, and in Buster's case they were often unplanned - each gag was really a genial inspiration.
    Cheers!

    Thank you! Yes, we thought it really interesting that the 1923 article had picked up on this as that was before BK's feature films were made (The Three Ages came out in Sept of '23).

    Sorry it took me a while to get here. That was a wonderful tribute to Buster. And "Wake up, the movie's over" was a perfect finish.
