These films aren’t 100 years old at all! But I watched them anyway and nobody can stop me.<\/p>\n

The final two Buster Keaton shorts, in The Balloonatic<\/em>, Buster Keaton gets bored harassing girls at the park and becomes a stowaway on a hot air balloon, while in The Love Nest<\/em>, Buster gets dumped by his girlfriend, so he sails out to sea in a sulk and becomes a whaler. <\/p>\n

The Balloonatic<\/em> is a bit disappointing really (not least because there’s less than a minute of balloon action, but upwards of 20 minutes of Buster pissing around slightly tediously by the river), and although The Love Nest<\/em> is better, it’s definitely not one of Buster’s best (while still being pretty good fun).<\/p>\n

And that’s all the Buster Keaton.<\/p>\n

Notes<\/p>\n

1.<\/strong> I watched these on my trusty blu-ray set once again. I shall never see its like again.<\/em><\/p>\n

2.<\/strong> These are the last two films on there.<\/em><\/p>\n

3.<\/strong> And so I have broken my rules to watch them now rather than wait another ten months or so.<\/em><\/p>\n

4.<\/strong> But I might actually review them properly next year.<\/em><\/p>\n

5.<\/strong> Along with whatever else Buster got up to in 1923.<\/em><\/p>\n
