    Everybody talks about how great Buster Keaton is in this but what about the monkey who faked his own death to escape the organ grinder and become 1st assistant camera while moonlightning as a gatling gun operator for local gang wars?

    What a stressful week this has been!! (and it's only Tuesday) Thank goodness, the world has Buster Keaton! 😍🥵 I could bask for hours under his intense gaze, forever fascinated with his iconic facial inexpressiveness and naturally muted responses to the exaggerated…
