Something I just found out: Three of the Buster Keaton MGM films that Turner Classic Movies is running in their Keatonfest next week (the best three, happily) are about to be released in a DVD set which also includes the documentary I mentioned and a bunch of other extras. So those of you who don't get TCM and/or love Buster Keaton can purchase them…and of course, I'll make it easy for you by supplying one of these neato links via which you buy it from Amazon and I get a tiny percentage of what you spend. The set is supposed to be out December 7, the same day Turner is running their Keaton tribute, so I guess there's some connection or cross-promotion there. (Thanks to the ever-vigilant Gary Sassaman for the tip.)
Also, I just noticed that TCM is running The General on Sunday evening, December 12. The General is not only the best movie Keaton made, it's one of the best movies anyone has ever made. If you haven't seen it, see it. If you have seen it, see it again. If you've seen it again…okay, you can go do something else.
