(to see my GK, look for reflection in window).
We went just to see the old silent movies with the organ being played by some expert of old movie accompnment.... we thought it was gonna just be a showing of a couple movies, but it was the International Buster Keaton Society Annaul Convention. . . . . . and it was quite an event with many people from all over that go to such old movie conventions, many of them dressed in costum of various caracters. And many of them seemed to know each other from having gone to such conventions for years.
Buster Keaton movies are interesting in that are early silent movies with no "specail effects" , actaully created stuff like building collapsing around him, or a ship sinking, or car crashing.
Why in Muskegon? He lived there as a kid and young adult, as was a resort area that lot of traveling vaudville familys stayed for the summer.
ANd the big old theater Downtown Muskegon was referbished, and still has an old organ. ANd there is this statue out on the street.
Convention - The International Buster Keaton Society
other part that some find intersting is that he was making these films pretty much on his own, then got contracts with the big movie makers,,,, and how things changed... and his personal life....
The Tin Man.
The Thirteenth, no less! Maybe I shoulda thought about that for this week’s theme, but it is what it is.
First, the theme, inspired by my Triumph Legend, which earned me the week’s honors:
And the submissions:
kerrfunk said:the legendary MOTHMAN
Wes Cooley the "legend" in my garage....
Is this stuff legendary?
The legendary Kissing Sailor Statue in San Diego.
Doc who did my hernia surgery is legendary, I don't have a pic of him so you get one of me instead.
Legendary: Buster Keaton
Another Legendary? movie figure.
The Tin Man.
Alrightyroo, let’s get a-votin’
Whose submission best captures “legendary” in your estimation?
I won't be doing my colorful commentary vote count tomorrow morning. (yeah, I know, the disappointment! haha) I'll be heading out early in the morning. I'm riding up to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum in Hamilton, Ontario. I haven't visited since 2018 before all the covid hit the fan. The awesome Lancaster is calling me!
Plus, the ride up through western New York is amazing this time of year. The grapes from all the vineyards are ripe and are so fragrant!
Watch out for the deer.
