Or so Woody says at the beginning of ANNIE HALL. And it's probably been modified and used by a ton of other people anyway, as you reference in your post about DeLay. <br /><br />In short, it fit the context, so I used it.Rittsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145597443811879849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-808031658707328452009-11-07T15:17:36.867-08:002009-11-07T15:17:36.867-08:00Rittster - I like your "About Me" line. ...Rittster - I like your "About Me" line.

While far less crazy, it too has plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. I'll be looking for more.Evan Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620731784654779358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-72156598762082199822009-11-07T10:15:10.208-08:002009-11-07T10:15:10.208-08:00Hi, first post here. Evan, your review is right on...Hi, first post here. Evan, your review is right on target (has nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes, the movie really takes off about 14 minutes into the movie, etc.). Keaton is my favorite silent comedians (W.C. Fields my favorite sound comedian), and I think Sherlock Jr. is his funniest feature (although it's really more like a featurette, clocking in at 45 minutes). Funnier than the movie usually acknowledged as his masterpiece, The General. If anyone loved this movie, I'd also recommend The Navigator, Go West, The General, and Our Hospitality (another one of his films that doesn't really come to life until about ten minutes into the movie).Rittsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145597443811879849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4705940625481143611.post-21447190447269803002009-11-07T08:26:50.622-08:002009-11-07T08:26:50.622-08:00SHERLOCK JR. - One of the greatest of Keaton's...SHERLOCK JR. - One of the greatest of Keaton's works, and over-shadowed as ever, by the work of Chaplin. To any Sherlock Holmes fans out there, I have recently re-issued my novel, THE PANDORA PLAGUE, (http://www.pandoraplague.com/) which tells the tale of the first association (pre-dates the Daniel Stashower book publication) of Holmes and magician, Harry Houdini. It is enlarged and annotated.
