Podcasts about steamboat bill jr

This is the 3rd straight January in which Have You Ever Seen has talked about a Buster Keaton comedy classic. Reviews of most of the man's great silent films are now on this channel, including our podcast about The General that went up nearly 12 years ago. And if this incredible stuntman and stonefaced actor isn't a must-see for serious film buffs, then just who is? Although, while Steamboat Bill Jr. has an effective story and it's exciting and fun, it's just not very funny. And that's a common tale with old movies. In this, Buster's disapproving father wants him---but also DOESN'T want him---to be part of the crew of his riverboat steamer. There's heated competition with a rich guy, who has a daughter that Buster is sweet on. And then came a cyclone, complete with a collapsing house and a gutsy actor standing there underneath it. The last 15 or 20 minutes played during that violent storm make Steamboat Bill Jr entirely worth your time. So cozy up for a Ryan monologue in our 638th edition.

Earning their chops in medicine shows and with minstrel troupes in the late 1890s, brothers Frank and Bert Leighton wrote and/or arranged many ragtime pieces for use in vaudeville.Among their work was a 1912 version of “Frankie and Johnny,” penned with partner Ren Shields, that would set the tone for many future renditions of the song, including a monster hit a decade and half later for Charlie Poole and his North Carolina Ramblers.The song that Poole and his pals released as “Leaving Home” on Columbia Records in May 1927 already was pretty well known by musicians of the day.For instance, on the same label in the same year, popular band leader Ted Lewis recorded the same song with the title "Frankie and Johnny: You'll Miss Me in the Days to Come.” Lewis included only the chorus and not the verses.But it was a half dozen years before that that the first American recording of “Frankie and Johnny” was made by New Orleans-born Al Bernard, one of the first white singers to record blues tunes. (W.C. Handy credited Bernard, in fact, with helping his own career by recording a number of his songs, notably “St. Louis Blues.”)Whew! That's a lot of intersecting stories here, but let's roll it back to Charlie Poole and the Leighton boys. Kinney Rorer, in his seminal biography Rambling Blues: the Life & Songs of Charlie Poole, notes that the banjoist closely follows the version of “Leaving Home” that the Leighton brothers created, though there are some differences in Charlie's chorus.About the LeightonsNow, no one knows just how Poole learned that rendition, but the Leightons were pretty influential. Among the ragtime pieces they wrote was "There's A Dark Man Coming With A Bundle” and "Far Away in Honolulu (They've got the tango craze).” Their most memorable and influential song was "Steamboat Bill" in 1910, a parody of best-selling “Ballad of Casey Jones,” which had itself been based on a song from the Leightons' vaudeville routine. Arthur Collins recorded “Steamboat Bill” in 1911, which would inspire Charles Reisner to write a movie for comedian Buster Keaton called “Steamboat Bill Jr.,” which released as a silent film in 1928.That same year, Walt Disney found inspiration in the movie and in the song to create the first synchronized cartoon with sound, Steamboat Willie.Back to Johnny and His Murderous MistressAll the Frankie and Johnny variations were based on an actual murder. Here are the facts of the case:At 2 in the morning of Oct. 15, 1899, at an apartment building located at 212 Targee Street in St. Louis, 22-year-old Frankie Baker encountered her 17-year-old lover Allen (Albert) Britt as he stumbled back from a cakewalk in the company of a prostitute named Nelly Bly. Albert and Nellie had just won a prize in a slow-dancing contest, but Frankie didn't feel like celebrating. On the contrary, she felt like shooting her lover in the stomach, which she did. Albert died in City Hospital four days later.At trial, Frankie pleaded self-defense at her trial — she claimed Britt had attacked her with a knife prior to the shooting — and she was found not guilty.Weeks after the murder, St. Louis songwriter Bill Dooley composed “Frankie Killed Allen,” a tune that gained some currency. The first published version appeared in 1904, credited to Hughie Cannon (also remembered for his better-known composition “Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey”).That brings up to 1912 and the Frank and Bert Leighton version entitled “Frankie and Johnny” (because, well, “Johnny” apparently flowed better than “Allen” or “Albert”). Since then, there have been more than 250 versions of “Frankie and Johnny” recorded, not to mention several film adaptation over the years.Our Take on the TuneWhen Jack Nuckols switches from drums to fiddle, it often brings back lots of old memories of music parties 50 years ago. This is another song that Dave Peyton, Joe Dobbs and Charlie Bowen first heard at those parties when the good old Kentucky Foothill Ramblers, led by H. David Holbrook, could play a whole evening full of string band songs from the 1920s and ‘30s.This track is from last week's Flood affair, when the group's old band mate Paul Martin and his mandolin sat in with current Floodsters Charlie and Jack, Danny Cox, Randy Hamilton and Sam St. Clair.

After his “blank check” for THE GENERAL bounced,  Buster Keaton found himself creatively and financially shackled. Thus, 1927's COLLEGE lands on the lesser end of the quality spectrum (not to mention a very difficult watch with Buster putting on blackface for a scene - yikes). But, his follow-up STEAMBOAT BILL, JR. features some of the most memorable and dangerous stunts of Keaton's career, and acts as a beautiful send-off to his period as a self-sufficient filmmaker. The wonderful John Hodgman joins us to chat about both films and his life-long love of Buster. Plus - as always with a Hodgman episode - we go down several delightful rabbit holes: Doctor Who, beans, Goofy's “George Geef” period, large pants, and more!

This episode, we decided to give voice to the voiceless by spotlighting two sizable monuments in the silent film canon: Cabiria and Steamboat Bill, Jr. First things first though...our Blue Plate Special broods over two moody genre flicks with 1994's The Crow and new release Infinity Pool. Upon inspecting cinema's earliest days, we discuss the strained theatrics of Cabiria, the slight hilarity of Steamboat Bill, Jr., and the clearly observable influence both movies had on not only their respective genres but on the development of cinema writ large.

Efter förra avsnittets skräcktema så blir avsnitt 12 det (halv)stora komediavsnittet. Vi pratar huvudsakligen om Elaine May's svarta komedi A New Leaf från 1971, kanske den minst kända huvudfilmen vi haft så här långt men just därför vill vi prata om den då det är en film som behöver uppmärksammas mer! En svart komedi om en rik man som förlorar alla sina pengar, försöker gifta sig rikt, mörda sin fru och komma över hennes pengar. Fortfarande kul drygt 50 år efter premiären!   Krille pratar om ännu äldre komedi, närmare bestämt Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd och Buster Keaton i allmänhet och den sistnämndas Steamboat Bill Jr. i synnerhet. Hille tar fram den stora sågen efter att ha sett bioaktuella haveriet Hilma om konstnären Hilma af Klint; går det ens att göra en bra biopic? Felix har vibat loss till två filmer som nästan är mer känsla och stil än film, nämligen twitter-filmen Zola och vampyr-filmen Only Lovers Left Alive. I avsnittets lista lyfter Krille fram ännu fler kvinnliga regissörer som behöver uppmärksammas mera.

Silent comedy rules. Especially when it's done by an artist of the caliber of Buster Keaton. And Steamboat Bill, Jr. is one of his best. It contains stunts that are still breathtaking, and comedy that still makes you laugh. And some heart, too. What else can you ask for? We also threw in Disney's Steamboat Willie just for the heck of it. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Dana Stevens joins Elizabeth and John to discuss Camera Man: Buster Keaton, the Dawn of Cinema and the Invention of the Twentieth Century. Her fantastic new book serves as occasion to revel in the work and working world of Buster Keaton, that "solemn, beautiful, perpetually airborne man." Although packed with fascinating tidbits from Keaton's life, Camera Man is much more than just a biography. It performs its own airborne magic, lightly traversing topics like the crackdown on the use of children in vaudeville, the fluidity of roles before and behind the camera in early Hollywood and the doors that were briefly (ever so briefly) opened for female directors. Among other treats, Dana unpacks one of Keaton's early great "two-reelers" One Week ( a spoof of brisk upbeat industrial films) and his parodic "burlesques" e.g. of Lillian Gish. People, Films, Books and Ideas in the conversation include: Roscoe ("Fatty") Arbuckle: got Keaton his start in early films like Butcher Boy, reportedly filmed the day Keaton first stepped onto a set. He said "Buster lived inside the camera." "Cinema of Attractions." a phrase coined by film historian Tom Gunning to describe the way the early years of cinema (1895 to 1913, more or less) achieved success by way of gags, stunts, special effects and other dazzling technological innovations--rather than plot or character development,. John and Dana rave about Keaton's last great film (age 33!), The Cameraman (1928) and deprecate the later silents (with a silent caveat for the pancake scene Grand Slam Opera). Mabel Normand: Arbuckle's longtime collaborator and briefly a rising director--Charlie Chaplin kneecapped her at a crucial moment in her career. Dana singles out for special praise Fatty and Mabel Adrift (1916) starring Luke, the first canine movie star. Singing in the Rain as a MGM-friendly myth-making explanation for Clara Bow's eclipse (and the famous vocal failure moment: "I can't stand 'im") Steamboat Bill Jr. ( 1928, Buster Keaton feature) "Keaton's most mature movie" says Dana.

Dana Stevens joins Elizabeth and John to discuss Camera Man: Buster Keaton, the Dawn of Cinema and the Invention of the Twentieth Century. Her fantastic new book serves as occasion to revel in the work and working world of Buster Keaton, that "solemn, beautiful, perpetually airborne man." Although packed with fascinating tidbits from Keaton's life, Camera Man is much more than just a biography. It performs its own airborne magic, lightly traversing topics like the crackdown on the use of children in vaudeville, the fluidity of roles before and behind the camera in early Hollywood and the doors that were briefly (ever so briefly) opened for female directors. Among other treats, Dana unpacks one of Keaton's early great "two-reelers" One Week ( a spoof of brisk upbeat industrial films) and his parodic "burlesques" e.g. of Lillian Gish. People, Films, Books and Ideas in the conversation include: Roscoe ("Fatty") Arbuckle: got Keaton his start in early films like Butcher Boy, reportedly filmed the day Keaton first stepped onto a set.

Scrubbed of nostalgia, 1986's "Top Gun" is, let's be honest, a big slab of '80s cheese. But there's that star-making turn by Tom Cruise; some flashy direction from Tony Scott; the rousing, synth-heavy score; and a memorable supporting cast led by the never more intense Val "Iceman" Kilmer. Could TOP GUN: MAVERICK, the long in the works sequel, justify its return? Adam comes to the sequel as a "Top Gun" fanboy, with the '86 original a seminal film of his bike-riding preadolescence. Josh, though, never really took to the film that he's described as a "locker room movie." Which makes their review of the new film something of a surprise, with Josh (mostly) joining the chorus of praise that has so far greeted the film and Adam of all people calling the film "131 minutes of fan service where the fan isn't really served until the last 30.” Take my breath away, indeed. Plus, the Buster Keaton Marathon continues with Josh's favorite film of the series, 1927's STEAMBOAT BILL, JR, and a Golden Brick nomination for HIT THE ROAD, from director Panah Panahi. 0:00 - Billboard 1:47 - Review: "Top Gun: Maverick" 27:54 - Golden Brickspotting: "Hit the Road" 33:12 - Next Week / Notes 40:57 - Massacre Theatre 46:09 - Buster Keaton #5: "Steamboat Bill, Jr." 1:00:41 - Outro Learn more about your ad choices.

The Films that Defined Their Decades - The 1920s: The Roaring Silents  On this week's episode, Ibrahim & I sit down to continue our look at the cinema of each decade. This week we focus on the 1920s and the great films and directors whose films continue to enthrall us. Whether Chaplin's The Gold Rush (1925), Robert Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920), F.W. Murnau's Sunrise - A Song of Two Humans (1927)and The Last Laugh (1924), Buster Keaton's The General (1926) and Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928), Walt Disney's Steamboat Willie (1928) and Fritz Lang's Metropolis (1927). It's a fun and interesting conversation about the history of film and the importance of these great pictures.

How many horror movies can truly claim to have changed the landscape of popular culture as we know it, becoming such a widespread influence on everything to come after that the very conceit upon which its built becomes as ubiquitous as centuries of prior genre myth-making? George Romero's legacy will forever be associated with his first feature film, the groundbreaking and pioneering zombie progenitor, Night of the Living Dead. Not only did it invent all the mechanics of a modern movie horror, structured to operate as both a vessel for social projection and as a uniformly terrifying fictional threat, it also managed to revolutionize the tools of modern genre filmmaking with a grounded approach to its low budget production, enhancing the realistic sensation of horror one feels when watching this masterpiece. As we lurch into the spookiest month of the year, we relay the last of our non-horror watches of the year with trips to the repertory theater and a brief look at Michael Showalter's new biopic, The Eyes of Tammy Faye. All of this and more from your independent resource for classic and contemporary cinema.Time Stamps:0:00 Repertory screenings of Steamboat Bill Jr. (1928) with live organ accompaniment and Rushmore (1998)13:50 New movie season arrives16:24 The Eyes of Tammy Faye24:04 The Night of the Living Dead

This week Lucé and Cozi discuss the oldest film on the podcast to date, Charlie Chaplin’s 1931 tender slapstick romcom, City Lights. Made well after talkies took over Hollywood, this silent picture took 3 years to make and holds the world record for most takes of a single scene. Lucé adores Chaplin’s painstaking comedic timing and commitment to perfectionism. Cozi can relate but wonders if he has the discipline to watch silent films. Will she be able to convince him, and you, to spend some time with the Little Tramp? Also discussed in this episode: Wall-E, Blues Clues, The Red Balloon, Steamboat Bill Jr., Jim Henson Studios, and boxing kangaroos.

In Buster Keaton's last independent film for United Artists before moving on to MGM, this silent comedy is known for what might be considered Keaton's most famous film stunt: The facade of an entire house falling on top of him as he stands in the perfect spot to pass through the open attic window without being flattened. The story involves the tale of an educated, effeminate, simple-minded son who ultimately is transformed and triumphant when he assists and impresses his burly, hard-working Mississippi steamboat captain father ("Steamboat Bill") in combating the threatening efforts of a rival tycoon (and typhoon) to take over the Mississippi steamboat business in the South - also win over the business rival's daughter. In 2016, the film was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress. Hosted by YiFeng, Lily and Bob. Recorded July 1, 2020

Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich sure know how to destroy large populated areas with computers, but when you need to wreck a town for real there's only one lunatic for the job: Buster Keaton. Steamboat Bill Jr is a powerhouse of a movie and utterly, utterly bonkers. Jonas Högberg & Anders Hultqvist loose themselves in a discussion about stop and continue-pans, compare hands to toilet lids and reads way too much into facial hair. Meanwhile Buster pulls out all the stops as he glides through the streets on his ear, flies on a tree, takes a quick peak inside a loaf of bread, crosses his legs while unconscious, wears Gary Daniel-sized jackets and face a falling wall with balls the size of cocoanuts. Also featuring in this larger than life episode of Pod Hard: Bebe Daniels Feel my Pulse, Harold Lloyd's Speedy, Vsevolod Pudovkin's Storm over Asia, Shôzô Makino's Chushingura: The Truth, Kanjûrô Arashi's Kurama Tengu and... Buster Keaton's The Cameraman. "He'll ruin 21 years of antiseptic supervision!"
