Chaplin documentary

Tonight at 1813 Drake, Jessica Arjet and I are going to watch a documentary called Unknown Chaplin. The film features footage of him in action as a director, showing how much of his work was created on set and how. Sometimes he would have sets built with certain features that he knew he was going to use (like an escalator) without knowing how. Sometimes he would shoot a couple of scenes of a film and then reshoot it with different actors cast in the roles.

We are getting together tonight at 8pm. Anyone else want to come by?

I can't get enough Charlie Chaplin, so I'll be there.

I will be there in spirit, because that sounds awesome. My body will be elsewhere, but my spirit is UNSTOPPABLE.

Man, the premise to this video is so stupid and simple, but I still really enjoyed it. Impersonations of Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd and others:

Wow, that's a really convincing impersonation of Jackie Coogan. That dude is committed.
