Same here as soon as it started I knew that this was one to add to my Betamax library.

When I saw this it had an intermission and a second feature, 'Leeds Bridge' All this and enough change from a penny to catch the omnibus back to the workhouse. Ah, those were the days.

yes the dialogue was limited but though the cast were splendid and done a bang up job with all their lines

Simply their master in technology would rule all over us if they were inventing nowadays. this movie is greatly pitoresque.

Read my bio and pray a lot.

I was just there. It was awesome. Then, I got hit by a carriage and I woke up in 2008. Am I mad, in a coma, or forward in time? Whatever's happened, it's like I've landed on a different planet. Now, maybe if I can work out the reason, I can get home.

Why would you want to get home? In 2008, we have Jaffa Cakes.

Hi there, Buck. Sorry, but even in 2008, we don't know how to get you back home yet.

Luckily enough, I was able to sneak a camera into the theater the day it was released and create a bootleg of it.

In the 9 second directors cut it shows Abraham Lincoln who sees the camera, smiles then remembers everybody things his dead and runs away screaming.

I was there at its New York premiere. No one took it seriously, the entire audience was laughing and mocking it throughout the length of its running time - - and yet nowadays the so-called critics hail it as an all-time classic and all the other sheep blindly agree. I mean, any truly independent thinker like me and all my fellow New Yorkers would see that it's a terribly acted, plotless, sloppily directed wreck of a film.

And still, they hail this empty, nihilistic trash and completely ignore true classics like the sublime "Electrocution of an Elephant" and the transcendental "The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots". Argh.
