Brian Austin Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I prefer mimes to memes. 😛 March 23 was the centennial of the birth of the legendary Marcel Marceau. He had a fun role in the '70s Mel Brooks film "Silent Movie". The film centers around an attempt to put together a production for a silent film (in their present day) while homage to the classic films. Last year I saw a special showing of "Silent Movie". While it does have a musical sound track last year I saw it accompanied instead with a live pipe organ (aka theater organ) as was the common way to see films in the silent era. I'm glad I finally got to see that film after all these years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted March 23, 2023 Author Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) How many trained seals does it take to change a light bulb? None. They all just sit in the dark and clap when their keeper tells them it's fixed. Edited March 23, 2023 by Ace-Garageguy TYPO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad I finally got to see that film after all these years. If it was at the Shanklin Hall, then we both saw the same movie. Just last weekend I saw "the General" by Michael Keaton (a real silent movie) there. The entire theater organ experience is amazing! In the back room (where the organ's guts are), the Shanklin family also has a beautifully restored Stanley Steamer. Another blast from the past.

TonyK Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 I saw "Silent Movie" at the drive-in when it first came out. Not the best way to watch it as there are many distractions and you have to pay attention when there's no dialog. I've watched it since then at home and it's much better that way. Reminds me of watching a movie with sub titles. You have to stay focused or you'll miss something. I would guess many younger people don't bother with these type of films nowadays. Or am I just being a typical old man with that statement? 🤨 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
