The Great Laurel and Hardy 😊😊

They first appeared together in a short film called ( Lucky Dog ) in 1921 although they didn't appear as a partnership until a later production called ( Putting Pants On Phillip ) in 1927.

They'd signed with Hal Roach under separate contracts a year earlier in 1926. Hal had noticed an obvious on screen chemistry between the pair and encouraged them to work together which they did creating some of their most iconic roles. Sometimes I think Hal Roach's contribution gets a little overlooked which is why I've decided to include a wonderful interview he did with David Letterman. Laurel and Hardy split from Roach in 1940 but for me Universal had a little too much of a hands on approach. I felt the creative freedom Roach had given them in those early years had gone and it began to show as their later material started to look more like that of the studios than anything they themselves had created. For me the Universal years were a far cry from the heights of those wonderful classics with Hal Roach. I think Stan Laurel himself would admit to this in one of his later interviews.

I decided it might be a good idea to start off with a rare two part interview given by Stan Laurel, it's well worth a listen 😊. I'll also add the classic dance routine from Way Out West followed by Hal Roach's interview , enjoy 😁

This is a fantastic interview with Hal Roach and David Letterman where he discusses his early years working with Laurel and Hardy and others.

Hal Roach born Elmira New York ( Jan 14th - 1892 ) died Bel Air Los Angeles ( Nov 2nd- 1992 )

Stan Laurel born Ulverston United Kingdom ( Jun 16th - 1890 ) died Santa Monica ( Feb 23rd - 1965 )

Oliver Hardy born Harlem Georgia ( Jan 18th - 1892 ) , died in North Hollywood ( Aug 7th - 1957 )

May they all rest in peace , thanks for the memories 😊

They actually make physical media for a much larger percentage of movies than they ever did in the past. Often with a lot more care than any small release was treated in the early dvd days. Its just if you only watch streaming stuff or the big new recent box office hits you won't see that. It is so ridiculously easy to get physical media for movies that even 5 years ago you couldn't even find. Like yes Netflix is a stingy bastard but so many things are available on disc WITH special features than ever before

“My whole life, I don’t know what this song [Auld Lang Syne] means. I mean, ‘should old acquaintance be forgot.’ Does that mean that we should forget old acquaintances? It doesn’t mean that if we happen to forget them, we should remember them, which is not possible because we already forgot them.” “Well, maybe it just means that we should remember that we forgot them, or something. Anyway, it’s about old friends.”

The actual slow burn in Deadpool and Wolverine is the striptease Marvel made Wolverine do

Those insane arms are the first to go bare

However, the climax (pun intended) comes with a shirtless Wolverine with his iconic mask on which is one of the most divine sights Deadpool along with each one of us has ever had the chance to witness

Wade does know how to multitask because the way he saves the world with 207 bones in his body has to be the trickiest feat he's ever accomplished.
