Douglas Fairbanks Demands Equal Time

Striving always for balance in our coverage of the ongoing feud between silent film greats Lon Chaney and Douglas Fairbanks, we here at the Katie-Bar-The-Door Awards present a movie poster of the latter's nominated feature, The Iron Mask.

Whew. . . .

sorry that I seemed to blow a seam there, but

when you get nominated for a Katie and

that no-talent effer Lon Chaney [biggest waste o' Colorado air in the last 150 years . . . .] gets his picture posted, whilst I wait, and wait, and wait. . . .

well, you get the drift.

Thanks for looking out for me.

I'm unfairly pigeonholed and marginalized because of my amazing athletic abilities, and because I porked the most famous broad in the US of A, beloved by All. And by all, I mean Lon Chaney.


Ha ha ha; I had her, and you didn't.

I think that The Iron Mask is no Wild Strawberries.

But it is WAY greater than that fucking West of Zanzibar. . . . .

Yeah, I would have to say that although both movies involve aging men confronting their mortality, "The Iron Mask" is the polar opposite of "Wild Strawberries." I can't imagine Douglas Fairbanks sitting around at the end of his life reflecting on how meaningless it all was. In fact, his last words were "I've never felt better."

As well they should be considering what he and Mary Pickford had been up to all those years ...

"West Of Zanzibar" is a pretty good movie though -- cannibalism, drunk hookers, magic tricks. Reminds me of a Don Rickles show in Atlantic City ...

I knew that pussy Chaney wouldn't show his face around here again.



Time to rethink that Laugh, Clown, Laugh bullshit, isn't it, Monkey-Man?




I win! I win!
