Where I might cry that I was drowning and you might laugh and drink the sea
Naturally, the night before Arisia, my throat is hurting scarily. I cannot afford to be sick. I have to talk all weekend and sing on Sunday. I had an enormous mug of homemade wonton soup for dinner and am trying to convince myself I really want some orange juice. Have some links.

handful_ofdust: Buster Keaton in the 1920's. I disagree with James Agee's famous assessment of Keaton only in that I think there was nothing almost about his beauty.
2. I love this image in ways I have difficulty describing. I want to write it a story or a poem, except I think it already is one: Arthur Tress, Glass Head on Beach (1971).
3. Obviously, I like the idea of poems written from grave goods.
4. The man in the White House should know from shithole countries; he's been doing his best to drop this one in the toilet.
5. Remember how Robert Mitchum met Howie Winter—of the Winter Hill Gang—during the filming of The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973)? There's a photograph. That I was not expecting.

ACK. I hope the soup helped and that you can fend off the encroaching illness! *hugs*

I've... actually only seen him in The General. What else do I need to see?

I hope you feel better for Arisia!

(I enjoyed all your links. I think especially the head on the beach, which is not a line you type every day.)

There are some very nice photos on his main wikipedia page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buster_Keaton
When he was not so pretty (70 years old, dying of cancer), he still did some of his own stunts in the 1966 production of "A Funny thing happened on the way to the forum."

I am thirding Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928), but I have good memories of Our Hospitality (1923) and The Navigator (1924) and I loved The Cameraman (1928). Honestly, I have enjoyed Keaton in everything I've ever seen him in, from shorts to talkies.
And he was luminous.

I did not fend it off, but it was very nice soup anyway!

I feel Agee must have been hedging his bets, but come on.
I hope you feel better for Arisia!
Thank you! I think my current plan is hoping to feel better over the course of Arisia!

Thank you!

Thank you! I think it will be fun; I just wish I felt better for it.
