Coconuts have only been in the Caribbean for 500 years. They just….floated on over from Asia and took root. That’s…hilarious.
Wait really? I always thought they were if not native at least brought over on purpose
Right??? I’m watching this nature doc and when the narrator said that I nearly spit my drink giggling. They’re remarkably buoyant and just bob their way to a new shore. So carefree. Truly a fruit destined to be in the Caribbean.
The dumbest Laurel & Hardy gag is in Our Relations, where they have their feet in cement and it’s legit just ten minutes of them teetering and screaming… I love it…
could you imagine as margaret dumont endures insult after insult by groucho and acts shocked and offended she’s actually internally coming up with a ton of witty comebacks that’d put him right in his place i love this headcanon
My film professor claimed all silent films were shot “flat” and “were basically filmed stage plays.” Not just early stuff, but even ones from the 1920s.
I love the guy but… no. That is like the broadest generalization ever. And a wrong one considering many silent films from the 1920s were the apex of that medium’s art, telling stories that felt like cinema and not theater’s red-headed step-child. I resent the idea that silent films were all primitive shit before we got to “Real movies” in the 1930s and 1940s.
what if Groucho heard it and was like >:o (because he doesn’t like cursing in comedy and stuff) and it’s like a weird role reversal of their typical dynamic
