This is funny. #TCM is calling “Bombers B-52” a Romance movie, and “Duck Soup” a War movie!

Wait, were ducks harmed in making this picture?

Not the NRA you are thinking of...

Duck Soup (1933) "added" (already there but for this event added info & moved to top) to the #Comedon collection, with IA & OK links (details in link)

I didn't know Animal Crackers was a musical, but they let you know real quickly with having 3 different musical numbers within the first 8 minutes of the film.

I guess it’s about time
Rojie’s prompt for today, May 29th, is:
If you’re making a time capsule for 2026, what goes in it?
I’d probably toss in box sets of Marx Brothers and Laurel and Hardy DVDs, because these future people might need things to laugh over whenever they open the time capsule up. And I suppose I should put a DVD player and instructions in there just in case because we know how fast technology evolves.
Music. Maybe copies of the 2,300+ Grateful Dead shows, but I’m positive those will endure on their own so what else? I don’t think I can narrow that down to just one answer so forget music.
How about some books? A copy of John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath so people don’t forget. A copy of Thich Nhat Hanh’s The Miracle of Mindfulness so people can learn. A copy of the Bible with every printed page torn out and just one sheet of paper taped inside with three lines:
1) If it’s something that bothers you, or would bother you, don’t do it to other people.
2) Always be nice to the animals; I put them here for a reason. They don’t bother you and most of them are smarter than you. Yes, even the squirrels.
3) At least once per day, layeth the palm of your hand flat on a tree and tell that tree how much you love it and respect it. And do not cutteth down the trees for I liketh them and will mark your name down in a book you really don’t want your name marked down in.
(And just in the spirit of getting people to do goofy things)
4) Sayeth the word “four” twice when greeting people.On the idea of books, How about a classic book with a surprise or twist ending, maybe something by Agatha Christie, with the last page torn out? Equal parts mean and fun or just plain mean? Maybe do that with a bunch of books and toss them in the capsule. Then the future people can divide into groups called Finishers and calmly debate the different possible endings and share coffee and sweets. But maybe that’s not such a good idea because since they’re people and people don’t do anything calmly and they’ll more than likely violate commandment #1 above about 10 minutes after reading it, they’ll just use the different possible book finishes to start wars. The Finisher Wars. Finish Wars the banners and headlines will read so maybe there’s a little irony there.
I suppose I could write a letter to myself for the people who open the time capsule in the future to read. And thinking about that idea now, I could create a completely fictional version of life in 2026 and before that would confuse historians and maybe lead to the establishment of a new religion named after me where peanut butter is holy, chickens are sacred, and no one drinks milk. And people go to professional wrestling matches on Saturday or Sunday mornings because why not?
Oh, and a picture of Jennifer Aniston.
Four four.
A song for this prompt is easy.

Harpo speaks! 🚨
(I grew up watching Marx Brothers films, and Harpo was always my favourite.)"New recordings reveal mute Marx brother chatting with audience."
-
Harpo and Chico Marx recreated the silverware gag from ANIMAL CRACKERS on THE COLGATE COMEDY HOUR on NBC on this date in 1952.
Cutlery was strategically loaded into Harpo’s coat by his son Bill, who became Harpo's prop man at age 12.
"He had faith in me when I was very young," Bill said. "He was a great man."

Happy birthday Leonard Joseph "Chico" Marx (b. 3/22/1887, eldest of the Marx Brothers)!

Why Lacan Loved Harpo Marx
"Harpo is an automatic object-machine that converts both the world and himself into a polymorphously perverse source of jouissance.”

Harpo Marx
US , 1888-1964Arthur "Harpo" Marx was an American comedian and harpist, and the second-oldest of the Marx Brothers.
Remembered for his delicate vaudeville, clown and pantomime in the Marx Brothers-movies.
The eternal nuisance, driving people mad with his honk-honk horn, never speaking.
Calm father in real life, cherishing his adopted children and his harps.
Loved to play them as self-educated harpist.https://www.harpsociety.org/downloads/files/KJFS9JDTKK2NECFM45W-2009-winter-Rembering-Harpo.pdf

Habeas Irish Rose comment by Groucho is referencing "Abie's Irish Rose", an extremely popular play about a Jewish man and Irish Woman's relationship. Popular as the "East Lynne" play for decades.

Animal Crackers (1930) - Listen to find out if Lydia and Christopher think ANIMAL CRACKERS is as fresh as it was in 1930, or if it has gone stale.
#Podcast #MovieReview #MarxBrothers #Comedy #Musical -
ANIMAL CRACKERS (1930) just entered the public domain and it's already on Tubi (and elsewhere).
I remember its 1979 TV premiere on CBS, after decades of unavailability due to rights issues.
I hope a new generation discovers the Marx Bros. now, just like I did then.
