Quotes

• Nothing is less funny these days than the state of movie comedy.
  • "Cinema: Keaton the Magnificent", TIME (9 October 1995)

• Watch his mind as it contemplates a hostile universe whose violent whims Buster understands, withstands and, miraculously, tames. Watch his camera taking his picture (Keaton directed or supervised all his best films); it is as cool as the star it captured in its glass... The medium was still in its infancy; comics were pioneering the craft of making people laugh at moving images. Keaton, it turns out, knew it all — intuitively.
