[The Third Man]

That's what God tells me.

Besides, I have virtually no game to speak of. The chances of me finding a booty call on a Sunday afternoon are zilch. The odds of me getting laid at a party or a bar are already unfavorable. Maybe I'm not drinking enough...

I don't think you took my advice seriously enough.

I prefer to chloroform chicks and subject them to Ingmar Bergman marathons when they wake up.

Keep watching Bela Tarr. You don't need the chloroform.

Zing!

Oh no you di-in't.

BTW, JL, I have a $25 B&N gift card that has been burning a hole in my pocket since Christmas and my Keaton-happy buddy was pushing me to get The Cameraman. Watched that one yet?

Just caught it over the weekend. It wasn't my favorite, but it was damned good. It's neat in a meta kind of way (isn't that what that [expletive] is called? meta?)... a filmmaker playing a filmmaker in a film. And the last 10 or 15 minutes are excellent because a Rally Monkey plays a prominent role in the movie.

In order of preference (and I've enjoyed every single one of them except the last one listed):
-Seven Chances
-College
-The General
-Go West
-Our Hospitality/Sherlock Jr.
-Battling Butler
-The Cameraman
-Spite Marriage
-The Saphead
-Steamboat Bill Jr.
-Free and Easy (this is the only one I'd say was genuinely bad, but it was his first non-silent flick, and MGM had stolen all of his creative control, AND he wasn't doing his own stunts)

[The Third Man]

I loved Steamboat Bill Jr., or at least, loved the last half hour of it, even if the earlier stuff isn't as high quality. If that's so low on your list, that other stuff must be [expletive] awesome.

I need to give a 2nd try. It was the 2nd one I watched and IIRC, I wasn't exactly in the mood to watch it. I'm probably being needlessly harsh on it.

This doesn't even begin to do the whole sequence justice, from Seven Chances, because it's missing the whole set-up. Those are all women that he inadvertently jilted, literally, at the altar, chasing him. I think it'll give you a tiny taste of the awesomenocity:
