And who ever said community TV was crap? Well, besides the fuzzy reception.

Saw my first silent movie - Buster Keaton - yesterday on Melbourne's
Channel 31 channel flipping. Showing my (relatively) young age I guess.
I can see where Jackie Chan got his inspiration from. Made me chuckle
a few times.

Err, forgot the title/s. >_> They were actually short films it seemed
(about 5 mins each). One had him ice fishing and pulling another bloke
through the water when they got their hooks crossed. Another had him
being chased by at least a hundred coppers.

Thats a treat, many people think Keaton was at his best in shorts and
many of the ones I've seen are sublime.
