war drums

war drums - feat . phat kat & guilty simpson by quakers | free listening on soundcloud
featured on the j rocc / stones throw podcast for upcoming 2012 releases . war drums is the first track to be featured from the forthcoming quakers release .
no longer a tool of war , battle drums have since become a form of folk art ; their powerful , resounding beat still rouses an exhilarating heroic spirit . these chinese drums are played with straightforward rhythms and clearly defined dynamics . they are essentially used to express the spirit of the chinese people .
war drums , first used on the battlefield , were employed both to direct and galvanize the troops . different beats guided the soldiers into different formations , with one rhythm for “attack” and another for “retreat , ” for instance .
what if the recent drums of war are a sign of china’s weakness and not its impressive new strength ? “when xi tells his troops to be ready for war , it’s really an admission that they’re in disarray , ” says the defense attaché . “he’s saying , ‘you guys are drunk , fat , and happy , siphoning off all the money into private accounts , and you need to get real . ' ”
barker plays the noble indian chief who reluctantly wages war on the white man after a treaty which promised his people peace was broken . when a brief and bloody war threatens to doom barker and company , sympathetic white man johnson aids the chief in escaping to the hills with his tribe rather than see them forced onto a reservation . noble but dull .
in this western , a peaceable indian leader is forced to hit the warpath when the avaricious anglos break the treaty which promised peace . the war is brutal and the indian ' s people are losing . fortunately , a good - hearted anglo helps the little band escape to the hills so they do not have to live on a reservation .
“no other great power today enjoys china’s ability to dedicate such vast amounts of capital and personnel so dynamically to such a wide range of new programs , ” says andrew erickson , an expert on pla technology at the u . s . naval war college’s china maritime studies institute . “china enjoys unparalleled flexibility and adaptability and could increase production rapidly if desired . ”
mexican girl riva comes between two friends , apache chief mangas and trader fargo , both of whom love the girl . she weds mangas to the disappointment of fargo and the dismay of mangas ' s tribe . fargo brokers peace between the apache and the white settlers , but unscrupulous gold - hunters trigger war . it is up to fargo to prevent a bloodbath .
“promoting people into positions is always a very sensitive question , ” says a retired officer , the son of one of the pla’s most decorated commanders and who was himself working at the pla’s general staff department , the operational command center , when xi was at the central military commission in 1979 . “this is why xi is coming to power using a very strong voice on the diaoyu islands , ” he says . “he was asking them to prepare for war … like deng . ”
but the specter of war is not the only possible explanation for xi’s saber rattling and demands for combat readiness . for even as japanese leaders and u . s . officials were publicizing their concerns this winter about a region on the brink of naval conflict , it became clearer that xi and his close military confidants are squarely focused on domestic politics . indeed , gen . liu yuan — the same reputedly hawkish princeling general thought to be close to xi , who had blasted corruption in the military — counseled in an essay published feb . 4 in state media that china’s dream of modernization had twice been shattered by war with japan . “today , our economic construction has arrived at a critical moment . we must never let it be broken by an incident , ” he wrote , referring to the diaoyus . “the u . s . and japan are scared of us catching up , and they will do anything to contain china’s development , so we must not be fooled . ”
the people’s liberation army was founded as an arm of the chinese communist party on aug . 1 , 1927 , when it began a quarter - century of nonstop warfare . today it occupies a central place in party history and mythology for helping to defeat the occupying japanese , drive the kuomintang nationalists to taiwan , and push u . s . - led forces back to the 38th parallel in the korean war . it added an air force and navy shortly after the 1949 founding of the people’s republic .
the backstop for all these new platforms and capabilities is the pla’s strategic missile force , which possesses conventional ballistic missiles that can destroy satellites in space , plus as many as 400 nuclear weapons . the dizzying display of hard power is sending fear and awe throughout the asia - pacific region . but xi , it seems , is unconvinced that all this shiny hardware can be effectively deployed by an organization that was designed for civil war and adapted in recent decades as a political force to ensure the party’s grip on power .
mangas coloradas ( lex barker ) , an apache chief , and white trader luke fargo ( ben johnson ) are bound by friendship and their mutual love for riva ( joan taylor ) , a mexican - native american girl rescued from horse thieves . riva marries mangas , who teaches her the warrior ' s ways , and she later warns the apaches of an ambush by white soldiers . when fargo , who did not intend an attack , is injured , riva helps him - - a kindness he must choose whether or not to return when war with the apaches erupts .
fanell , in comments that went largely unnoticed outside the small circle of china military specialists , spelled out in rare detail the reasons the united states is shifting 60 percent of its naval assets — including its most advanced capabilities — to the pacific . he was blunt : the chinese people’s liberation army ( pla ) navy is focused on war , and it is expanding into the “blue waters” explicitly to counter the u . s . pacific fleet . “i can tell you , as the fleet intelligence officer , the pla navy is going to sea to learn how to do naval warfare , ” he said . “my assessment is the pla navy has become a very capable fighting force . ”
xi , then , has ultimately chosen to defend the communist party against internal political threats rather than prepare it to face external military threats . there is little doubt the communist party has been sharpening its identity in a post - communist world by defining itself against the west , fanning nationalist fervor , and promising a restoration of china’s ancient grandeur . xi thus has little choice but to keep pumping enormous resources into a war machine if he is to justify his party’s continuing monopoly on power . “this dream can be said to be the dream of a strong nation , ” xi told sailors on board the destroyer haikou . “and for the military , it is a dream of a strong military . ”
then , too , there is the very real risk that if china or japan miscalculates over the senkaku islands and actually does spark a war , china may lose . that , at least , is the assessment of several military analysts with whom i spoke , who believe japan’s disciplined , professional forces would prevail even without direct u . s . intervention . more broadly , i have heard growing doubts about china’s actual fighting capabilities in some sections of the chinese military , foreign diplomatic corps , and u . s . academia , many of whose members are revising their views on the pla . “our assessment is they are nowhere near as effective as they think they are , ” a beijing - based defense attaché from a nato country told me .
it’s not just corruption . more than three decades of peace , a booming economy , and an opaque administrative system have taken their toll as well , not to mention that the pla is one of the w orld’s largest bureaucracies — and behaves accordingly . “each unit has a committee with a commander , political commissar , and deputies , to the point they have a meeting now for everything , ” says nan li , associate professor at the u . s . naval war college’s china maritime studies institute . li told me that pla military universities have even been reduced to printing textbooks that instruct commanders how to transcend the tyranny of committee - style decision - making . “that shows how much the pla has been defeated by — corroded by — peace , ” he says .
even before formally taking office , xi launched a wide - ranging program of inspecting troops , cementing key military relationships , and muscling up against japan , his associates say . on nov . 15 , his preparatory work was rewarded by his appointment as not only general secretary of the communist party but also chairman of the central military commission . the latter was a title that had eluded his predecessor , the lackluster hu jintao , for two years after hu became party secretary , a symbolism lost on no one . almost immediately after xi’s elevation , he announced a high - profile austerity campaign , attacking the military’s culture of banquets , ceremony , and pomp . he demanded that his soldiers focus on their mission . “we must ensure that our troops are ready when called upon , that they are fully capable of fighting , and that they must win every war , ” xi said during a tour of military forces in southern guangdong province in december .
that’s where china’s rapidly escalating territorial showdown with japan , its largest trading partner and still the world’s third - largest economy , comes in . in september , the japanese government bought the disputed senkaku islands , or diaoyu islands as they are known in china , from private owners to prevent them from falling into the hands of tokyo’s governor at the time , a hawkish nationalist provocateur . but china responded with fury . it launched a propaganda blitz against japan , facilitated protests and riots across china , and escalated its maritime and air patrols of the disputed area . for xi , according to his close family friend , the otherwise baffling diplomatic crisis that resulted has offered a priceless opportunity to “sort the horses from the mules” and mobilize willing generals around him . claims that xi has exploited or even orchestrated the brinkmanship with japan might seem preposterous to outside observers , given that a miscalculation could lead to war . but the logic is compelling for those who have grown up near the center of china’s endless and unforgiving internal struggles .

china ' s new leader is using the military to consolidate his power . but has he unleashed forces beyond his control ?
some were shocked to hear the extent and intensity of china’s carefully orchestrated maritime provocations , especially coming from an officer whose job may make him more of an expert on beijing’s naval maneuverings than anyone outside china . others wondered whether the pacific fleet was simply playing the washington game , perhaps lobbying for a greater share of the u . s . military budget or wider authority to act by magnifying the threat .
but it may well be that the most contestable of fanell’s assertions were about the chinese military’s capabilities , not its provocations . for the question on many minds , both in washington and beijing , is this : can china actually fight ? and the person most anxious to find an answer happens to be the man who just became china’s fifth leader since mao : xi jinping .
“the people’s army is not merely an organ for fighting ; it is also an organ for the political advancement of the party , ” mao once said , in another statement whose truth has been confirmed by all his successors . xi may be able to build a military that is either modern and capable or loyal and political . but many in china now believe he can’t have both .
it won’t be for lack of trying . in the west , xi’s assumption of power has largely been covered as an economic and political drama : can he keep china’s booming markets on track ? will he tame the country’s toxic levels of official corruption before demands for political reform derail him ? is he a reformer at all ? what these accounts often miss are xi’s very deliberate moves to build a military power base for his presidency .
politics have always played a key role , and the pla retains a soviet - style dual command structure . a powerful political department sits at the center of the organization , while political minders shadow commanders at every level of the enormous hierarchy . with its crucial role at home as well as internationally , the pla today boasts 2 . 3 million active - duty personnel , and its capabilities have been greatly strengthened by two decades of double - digit budget increases , enabling it to invest in everything from its first aircraft carrier and stealth fighter jets to the world’s only anti - ship ballistic missile .
despite the hype , however , high - ranking insiders have come forward to say the chinese military is rotten to the core . formal hierarchies are trumped by personal patronage , coordination between branches is minimal , and corruption is so pervasive that senior positions are sold to the highest bidders while weapons funding is siphoned into private pockets . “corruption has become extremely institutionalized and significant , ” says tai ming cheung , director of the institute on global conflict and cooperation at the university of california / san diego . “it makes it much more difficult to develop , produce , and field the weapons systems required to achieve world - class power projection . ”
nor is the military necessarily 100 percent loyal to its political masters in the communist party — a terrifying prospect for a new leader trying to consolidate his power . in theory , the pla has always been subordinate to the civilian side of the party , but the actual command linkages are largely limited to its top leader and sometimes his deputy . in 2012 — in the wake of the political destruction of xi’s potential rival , bo xilai , who boasted extensive informal ties within the military — the drumbeat of official demands that the pla demonstrate the proper obeisance to the party and the party’s outgoing general secretary , hu , suggested the chain of military command might be more fragile than commonly understood .
xi’s associates point out that his first real job , as personal assistant to the secretary - general of the central military commission , gave him a ringside seat for studying the art of accumulating power as demonstrated by one of the world’s great strongmen , deng xiaoping . although most recall deng today as the architect of china’s economic reforms , the initial foundation of deng’s political platform was the military , where he enjoyed prestige unparalleled by any other post - mao leader . he tightened his “grip on the gun , ” as communist party insiders put it , by mobilizing the military for an invasion of vietnam in february 1979 . deng , still technically vice chairman of the commission but already its most powerful leader , initiated , planned , and managed an invasion that was militarily disastrous , costing tens of thousands of chinese lives and blowing out the budget deficit , but nevertheless left him with a more professional fighting force and firmly in command .
he ensured this grip on power by closely managing the military’s upper echelons . by 1980 , after a reshuffle when incumbent central military commission chairman hua guofeng was out of the country , 15 of the 22 top military region posts were held by generals who had fought directly under deng , says historian warren sun .
none of this was lost on the young , ambitious princeling xi jinping . after all , hua was xi’s nominal boss at the time , yet deng swept him aside . the lesson learned ? “without the gun in your hand , who will obey you ? ” as xi’s close family friend puts it . “so the first thing xi did after his rise was seize military control . ”
xi has taken charge at a moment when china has been building up its military power as never before , surprising the united states and shocking its neighbors with the speedy development of new hardware and the aggressive manner in which it has deployed those tools to support its expanding ambitions . top u . s . intelligence analysts and generals have admitted to being caught out by the 2011 flight - testing of china’s new j - 20 stealth fighter . they were dumbfounded by china’s subsequent deployment of the east wind 21d , the world’s first anti - ship ballistic missile , dubbed the “ assassin’s mace ” in china and “the carrier killer” in the west . and now china is on track to nearly triple its fleet of maritime strike aircraft by 2020 , according to the u . s . congressional research service . its naval weapons — and capabilities — are proceeding even faster .
china is simultaneously developing and producing seven types of submarine and surface warships . that’s after a decade in which it quadrupled its number of modern submarines , including nuclear submarines designed to carry nuclear - armed ballistic missiles . it has massively expanded production of corvettes , frigates , amphibious ships , and destroyers . in september , china launched its first aircraft carrier , which it has flagged as a training platform for others to come .
deeply and repeatedly into key u . s . government departments and top u . s . defense , media , and technology companies . along with probing infrastructure vulnerabilities and spying on commercial transactions , they have reportedly pilfered military designs and technology .
mandiant , an it security firm , reported in february that it had traced 141 specific cyberattacks to a single pla unit based in shanghai . the pla has been tasked with “systematic cyber espionage and data theft against organizations around the world , ”
indeed , the crisis with japan seemed to come exactly in tandem with xi’s ascension last fall . in september , xi disappeared for a fortnight , missing top - level meetings ( including with u . s . secretary of state hillary clinton ) for reasons that remain unexplained . he re - emerged looking healthy and happy on sept . 15 . a day earlier , according to a report in the japanese newspaper asahi shimbun that cited a “source close to the communist party , ” xi had assumed control of a special cross - agency and military task force to manage the diaoyu dispute . china immediately increased air and maritime patrols in the area .
for the remaining three months of 2012 , roughly once each day , a chinese government plane flew southeast toward the japanese - administered islands . with equal regularity , when the plane crossed an “identification” line nearly 100 miles east of the chinese mainland , japan tried and failed to make radio contact and then scrambled f - 15 eagle fighters from its air self - defense force . the chinese planes would each veer east at about the 28th parallel and then north , out of harm’s way , without crossing into japanese - controlled airspace or encountering approaching japanese fighters , according to western defense officials . that’s the way it happened on 91 occasions between october and december , according to japan’s defense ministry .
but on dec . 13 , the 75th anniversary of the nanjing massacre and a day after chinese media reported that xi had called for “ real combat ” awareness during a three - day tour of a pla warship and live - fire tank drills , a low - flying china marine surveillance y - 12 twin - propeller plane crossed the 28th parallel . it kept flying southeast and penetrated japanese airspace — the first such episode since japan began monitoring half a century ago — and took a snapshot of the largest of the disputed islands out of its left window , a photo that was published widely in the chinese state media the following day . on dec . 16 , a new japanese government led by shinzo abe , who had promised to stand up to china , was elected in a landslide . abe immediately increased surveillance over the disputed area and reportedly loosened the rules of engagement so that japanese vessels could approach much closer to chinese vessels .
on jan . 10 , with xi firmly in control but now up against a more assertive japanese administration , chinese and japanese surveillance and fighter planes tangled above disputed oil fields north of the senkakus . on jan . 14 , the
reported that the general staff department had ordered all units to prepare for battle , in what may have been the first such warning since deng’s debacle in vietnam . on jan . 18 ,
” steps to challenge japanese administration of the senkakus . it did little good . on jan . 19 a pla navy frigate responded by locking its missile - control radar on a japanese self - defense forces helicopter around the same disputed oil fields , according to japanese accounts . on jan . 30 it was a similar story , this time with a japanese ship in close proximity , according to more detailed japanese accounts that were backed by the united states but denied by china . western military officials and diplomats have told me that they have evidence , including from electronic intercepts , that shows that the movements of chinese boats and ships were micromanaged by the new task force chaired by xi .
the world still knew nothing of these dangerous confrontations when captain fanell gave his remarkable speech in san diego the following day , jan . 31 . asia’s two heavyweights — america’s key ally and its global rival — were one itchy trigger finger away from exchanging live fire on the water while chinese j - 10 and japanese f - 15 fighters were buzzing overhead , according to western military sources . “if you are the japanese captain , you would have an incredibly uncomfortable choice to make very quickly , ”
who has been following the dispute closely . “you’re seconds away if that thing decided to fire . ” what had been hypothetical musings about the pla’s combat capability took on a more urgent tone .
to many observers , however , his speech seemed to confirm that china’s provocations against japan were in fact “evidence of profound domestic insecurity rather than rational policy , ” a beijing diplomat who closely studies china’s military machinations told me . “it is the fact of party control , ” he says , “that makes the pla weak . everything else — the corruption , the risk aversion , the hierarchy — is a symptom of that . ”
peru’s national identity was bound up with conflict and corruption for decades — then it qualified for the world cup .

admittedly there is not a lot of depth given to the people characterized here , but this works wonderfully as a celebration of the life and career of glenn miller . those who recently had their perspective on jazz change due to la la land should check this out , as i find this shares many similarities to the second half of that film ( dare i say this was a major influence ? ) , and the music here is the real thing .

a vibrant tribute to one of america ' s legendary bandleaders , charting glenn miller ' s rise from obscurity and poverty to fame and wealth in the early 1940s .
an unhurried , loving tribute to a man and his music and the people he surrounds himself with ; the most crucial of which is helen , his unfailing wife and dearest friend .
james stewart in one of his best roles of the 1950s playing the late bandleader in the embellished story of his life ; june allyson plays his wife – one of her best roles and i believe one of her personal favourites .
watching the real miller in ‘orchestra wives ' and then watching this , stewart is really a revelation in this role .
one of the best hollywood biopics , right in the middle of a glut of them ( love me or leave me , with a song in my heart , the eddy duchin story , night and day , words and music , three little words … ) .
even as a jazz fanatic with romantic penchant for the 40s and glenn miller , this drags quite a bit . the romance angle is really boring . but there are great moments , like when miller finally nails “the sound” during that performance of moonlight serenade , right on cue with mann’s push - in on stewart’s face .
as far as i ' m concerned , american music is defined by glenn miller . seeing jimmy stewart , an american icon , portray another american icon was a pleasure to watch , and the music is pure bliss .
i didn ' t really know anything about glenn miller and watched these purely because i love james stewart . and while i have to admit that stewart has a very definitive style of performance ( so can ' t speak to how accurate his portrayal was ) the fact remains that he is always charismatic and works really well with june allyson who plays miller ' s college sweetheart helen .
there’s the beatles , elvis , mozart , nirvana and then there’s glenn miller . musicians that changed the course of music in their time , genius’s .
what a delightful biopic . the chemistry between jimmy stewart and june allyson is so fun and heartwarming .
love glen miller’s music , but i never knew anything about his life . it was fascinating and jimmy stewart and june allyson are some of my favorites !
when my jazz theory teacher was sick , the sub would just put this on for us to watch . our class would compete to see who had the best james stewart impression . i usually won .
pese a que , hasta que la música te atrapa , cuesta un poco entrar en ella , es una película filmada con mucho amor , algo que se evidencia en los primeros planos de los personajes , en las miradas , en el tratamiento de los mismos con orgullo por ellos y siempre desde el cariño . lo dicho , preciosa y triste hasta decir basta . sencillamente encantadora .

the actress dame sybil thorndike was one of the outstanding figures in british theatre in the first half of the 20th century . she is best remembered as a shakespearean tragic actress and as saint joan , a part written for her by george bernard shaw .
buster plays a family man in this one , and he ' s married to sybil seely once again . in fact , this is apparently a sequel to
one week .
he shows that he takes care of children about as well as he builds houses .

the family ends up in a row boat that was actually their bathtub . of course one of the boys pulls the plug out of the drain . they end up on some land and keaton mouths the earliest expletive i know of by a major movie star in a film .
, keaton and his cameraman elgin lessley advanced the art of photographic effects with their mechanical ingenuity . on a single strip of 35mm film , they created shots with as many as nine images of keaton interacting with his multiple selves . to achieve this effect , lessley masked part of the camera lens , filmed keaton’s antics , then rewound the film to its original starting frame , moved the lens mask , then filmed the relocated keaton again . this required precise timing for keaton’s performance , and excruciating accuracy for lessley . once they had begun , there was no way to correct any miscues or misplaced elements in the frame . unfortunately , the show within the film features keaton in blackface , a performance that modern audiences find objectionable . ( minstrel shows were a standard element of 1920s live theater , and blackface performances did not entirely vanish from american entertainment until the 1960s . ) keaton and lessley used the multiple exposures again , most notably in the 1924 feature

the first keaton i ' ve seen , and to be fair it ' s neither his best nor my interest but it ' s old school charm wins over . it ' s not a film i think you talk that much about , it ' s fairly slapstick about it , but from a historical perspective it ' s an interesting snapshot into the humor of the time . i could have happily watched a little more .
as a father of two boys , who also builds things in the basement , i connected to this little film very well . keaton runs ragged trying to keep his family and bought afloat . yes , yes , yes , you could definitely say this movie is allegorical to the stresses of being a married father trying to support his family . i am not sure if keaton was going for that but it ' s there if you want to see it .
exaggerates the problems an amateur might encounter with a build - by - numbers house . the young couple assembling their first home in a sub - development—actually the metro pictures studio lot—achieve epic levels of architectural disaster that keaton accomplishes through mechanical wizardry , all of which he designed himself . there is very little camera trickery in this short , all the effects are mechanical , not photographic . for the malformed house to spin in the film’s climax , it was mounted on a massive turntable .
i think this is the best buster keaton short film i have seen . it is a pure set - up , where keaton , with family in tow , has built a large boat that he intends to the pacific . he wrecks his house , sinks his car , before getting the boat to the sea , then it starts going badly wrong . a storm , a leak , a sinking . like a vacation gone wrong , in the most amusing way possible . a perfect 27 minutes .
buster keaton was great at what he did . he understood the medium he worked in so well . it is why his work is still at all relevant today . the boat is a short film that has very little dialogue screens . it doesn ' t need to . like all of his work , it is in what he does that is so important and not what he says . although , the boat does end on one of the funniest pieces of unspoken dialogue i have ever not heard .
, also about the pitfalls of technology , presages the automatic kitchen via an elaborate rube goldberg apparatus . offering a glimpse of the transformation of america’s population from rural to suburban in the early 20th century , the film opens inside a single - room farmhouse outfitted with a profusion of labor - saving devices . state - of - the - art technologies like phonographs and natural gas are highlighted in a distinctly agrarian environment , complete with pigs , ducks , and cornfields . a chase sequence follows the progress of the moment , beginning on horseback , moving through a railroad yard , and ending on a motorcycle .
this is less inventive & clever and less funny than the keaton ' s i ' ve seen so far , but as a little story of a man going out on a ( self - built ) boat trip with his lovely wife and two children and finding the trip doomed , i found it very enjoyable . visually it looks good , especially the rotating interior of the boat , or the shot with buster sitting at the rear end of the boat against a dark backdrop and slowly sinking with it . loved to see buster with sybil seely again , they make a beautiful couple , and i like the domestic scenes inside the boat . but . . . i didn ' t get the damfino gag . i pretty much had figured out the meaning had something to do with damn but since english is not my mother tongue , i had to look it up .

keaton plays a married father of two young boys . he proudly builds a boat in his basement for his family to vacation on . he names it damfino . of course it is too big to get out of the door but keaton gets it out none - the - less . after rescuing his sons a couple of times he eventually gets the boat to float in the water . some low bridges cause some problems but they eventually get out to sea and start to relax . that is until a storm comes up and sinks his boat .
keaton was the destructive comic . within the first few minutes of this short he has caused his house to collapse ( i wonder how many houses keaton destroyed in his career ? ) and driven his car into the ocean . upon launching , his boat immediately sinks .
his character works because he never loses his famous deadpan expression . even in the middle of a crisis ( usually of his own making ) keaton never seems worried or upset . he takes everything life throws his way with a grain of salt . only keaton would go topside on a boat at night in the middle of a raging tempest using only a lit candle for illumination .
i liked the use of the bathtub as a lifeboat and i agree that the ending is quite funny . the boat still has the ability to induce laughs nearly a century after it was made . such is the art of buster keaton .
buster keaton watches his dreams of boat ownership go down the drain in the boat .
this is probably my favorite buster keaton short that i ' ve yet seen . the simple plot device of giving him a family actually humanizes the great stone face . where normally he comes across as a simple cartoon character , by making him a husband and a father , it made me feel more for him .
there are a plethora of sight gags scattered throughout this short . i laughed at the floating anchor because it took me by surprise . likewise when he had the genius idea of nailing a picture to the hull of the boat . and like you patrick i wondered just how many houses and cars keaton must have destroyed over his career . insurance agents must have cried themselves to sleep when they heard he was coming .
what really makes keaton ' s character so winning here is that he ' s just so indomitable . no matter what goes wrong with the boat , he just keeps going . he ' s determined to get that boat in the water and for his family to have a trip out to sea , no matter what it costs . the house gets destroyed , the car goes into the bay and the ship hits a storm , but keaton will not be stopped . he reminded me a bit ( or i guess that should be the other way around ) of chevy chase in national lampoon ' s vacation .
was this the best keaton short ? damn if i know , but it ' s one of my favorites .

thorndike’s professional debut of 1904 in a production by ben greet marked the beginning of a stage career that was to span six decades . she toured america with greet for two years and by 1907 had played 112 parts . it was good training for her time at the old vic under lilian baylis , who reacted unhappily when thorndike turned up late for rehearsal during a first world war air raid . ‘what’s an air raid when my curtain’s up ! ’ baylis said .
in 1908 thorndike married the actor and director lewis casson ( 1875–1969 ) and worked with george bernard shaw for the first time . following four years at the old vic , she performed in several greek tragedies and grand guignol melodramas before shaw wrote the part of saint joan for her in 1923 .
in a specially extended drawing room on the first floor of number 6 , thorndike rehearsed her many parts , most notably st joan , which she performed regularly from 1924 – when it opened at the new theatre – until 1941 .
three of keaton’s classic short films featuring breathtaking stunts and feats of visual trickery , which never lose sight of slapstick cinema’s primary objective : laughter .
there are escapades a - plenty when a photography mishap causes buster to be mistaken for bad guy dead shot dan . can buster’s disguises and quick - thinking elude the the local police chief ?
buster accidentally gets in trouble with the whole los angeles police department leading to a huge chase through the city with involving hundreds of police officers .
buster ' s handmade boat , the damfino , is finished and is , of course , too large to get through the basement door . when he drives off with it in tow , the side of his house , then the whole thing , collapses . at the harbor he rides the boat out only to have it sink beneath him . the rest is a series of adventures he and his family have with the restored boat .
i guess it was inevitable , my first keaton rewatch in this endeavour . i enjoyed this viewing of the boat just as much as i did the first time round . its a short where the humour derives from a succession of disasters befalling keaton . to me it feels like a forerunner of films like national lampoons or planes , trains and automobiles .
a small boat is a very strange setting for a buster keaton movie . why ? because keaton thrives in spaces , his immense physical ability , his agility and speed should never be confined . it ' s like putting fred astaire in a closet . here he spends most of the time confined . there ' s some good visual jokes mostly at the beginning - buster building the boat inside his house causing the front wall to fall down when trying to take it out . the boat ' s sails collapsing as it passes under a bridge , then springing back up . the rotating boat room is pretty good but i think keaton improved upon the concept in day dreams . i also can ' t shake the fact that keaton has probably ruined his family ' s lives now . no home , no boat , not even a bathtub .
this short closed a series of lloyd , chaplin , and keaton shorts i saw tonight and i was reminded why buster is my guy . fun , creative , wonderfully deadpan , and very few “bonked on the head” gags . ( after five other silent shorts i was pretty sick of seeing “bonked on the head” gags ) .
buster keaton ' s haplessness in the boat is brilliant . really great gags here .
keaton’s kids having his lil hat is the cutest thing out there . this short wasn’t life changing but it was a fun time and the adding of children actually worked really really well
keaton , with kids in tow ( could this be made today ? ) , have an adventure on a boat . the ship ' s name was bugging me because it seemed very odd , but there was a payoff ! it ' s more gags - put - together than a full story , but still enough to make you think this was the original griswold family adventure .
i play fantasy football , and in the league that i ' ve been in the longest , my team name has been damfino . that ' s a reference to this movie where the titular boat is called damfino . there ' s a little shane trivia for you . it ' s also the name used by the international buster keaton society .
what i love about this character is how he can be simultaneously very clever and extremely inept . he ' s got no business taking his family out on a boat…
holy cats that rolling boat set ! not much story to it , but those stunts are just a delight .
a brilliant keaton short that is endlessly creative and goofy . he ' s having fun here starting to play with the intertitles as well . so much fun watching this one !

buster keaton ( multiple characters ) , virginia fox ( twin ) , edward f . cline ( orangutan trainer ) , joe roberts ( actor / stagehand ) , joe murphy ( one of the zouaves )
buster keaton was born of vaudeville . his mother , the former myra edith cutler , and father , joseph hallie keaton—known simply as “joe”—were knockabout comics on the late 19th century’s medicine show circuit . joe and harry houdini—later legendary as the ultimate escape artist and dedicated debunker of spiritualist charlatans—were partners in the mohawk indian medicine company . the traveling show featured houdini’s prestidigitation and the keatons’ raucous physical comedy . keaton , named joseph frank on his birth certificate , always claimed that houdini dubbed him “buster” in 1897 , when the then - two - year - old toddler hurtled head - over - heels down a flight of stairs , rising without a care or a scratch .
the boy was thrown into the keatons’ family act in 1899 . the basic schtick involved the toddler’s disobedience met by the father’s physical violence . the young keaton quickly learned how to fall , roll , take a punch , and , most importantly , keep an outward veneer of calm while suffering intense pain .
after nearly two decades of touring north america , the act broke up because of joe keaton’s drinking . in 1917 , keaton , now 21 years old , met roscoe “fatty” arbuckle , a vaudevillian who had become the most successful comedian in the motion picture business . keaton , on his own since the family act’s dissolution , asked arbuckle if he could borrow a camera to learn how it worked . as legend has it , keaton stayed up all night , disassembling and reassembling the apparatus , until he was certain he understood the magic of movies . history recounts that he returned the camera the next morning and asked arbuckle for a job .
together , arbuckle and keaton made 14 short subjects . arbuckle left in 1920 to begin a brief career in feature films , leaving keaton the sole star of the shorts series . in 1923 , after making 45 other shorts under producer joseph schenck , keaton transitioned to feature - length productions with
the three shorts showing in think slow , act fast come from keaton’s own production unit , buster keaton comedies , and testify to keaton’s uncanny ability to use an engineer’s approach to building comedy .
when the “talkies” came along , keaton’s days as a top box - office draw were numbered . he worked as a gag writer for mgm , he appeared in shorts at columbia and educational , he even went back to the stage . far from forgotten , keaton remained visible in the 1950s and ’60s . he was speedy alka - seltzer’s comic foil in tv spots and print ads for the fizzy cure - all . he was one of many cameos in the epic 1963 comedy
episode . in it , keaton is an ennui - afflicted janitor from the peaceful days of 1890 magically transported to the fabulous future of 1961 , where he finds not utopia , but traffic jams , smog , and noise pollution . the world of the late 19th century is delineated with out - of - tune piano music , title cards , and undercranked camerawork , producing the then - stereotypically “sped - up” look of silent movies .
