I think we may have a natural talent for writing dialogues for silent movies Gui, I can see the wind blowing in your hair in your last comment

Marcela, hope you weren't expecting a bigger speaking role

I'll stand corrected but I think this is the most he's ever said in a movie...

it made me laugh out loud.

i think you're probably right.

what a star!

a star indeed!

real stars burn for a long time and he defined his art-form, probably forever

it's from Mel Brooks' Silent Movie with Marty Feldman, another one-of-a-kind, btw

i recognize the comedy kings, file.

did you guys ever get into 'curb your enthusiasm'. there's a brilliant running plot about The Producers. Larry David is cast and the saga goes on and on, but there is a priceless scene in which Ann Bancroft asks Mel what on earth was he thinking giving Larry the part - he's clearly going to fuck it up.

And Mel says "exactly! don't you see? the show will flop and we'll finally be free!!" they giggle and toast his cunning plan with champagne. it's lovely.

still. they're hardly fit to kiss marcel marceau's feet.

although very excellent indeed to get marcel to 'speak' in a 'silent' movie. :)

there's some escher-like genius in that... non?

I reckon it takes an escher-like genius to know one :~)

feet? no, but in the sunset boulevard of celestial eternity they may be gainfully employed caring for the soles of his soft shoes, it's all relative

did like the Producers tho, but I haven't seen it for years

Guitou,

I enjoyed it.

Is it irony to speculate that a man who in life was famous for trying to escape from a "glass box" in death is at ease in a wooden box?

Or something like that.
