Sorry, I don’t find alcoholism funny. ( this is a comment left on an insightful video essay on The Thin Man I watched earlier that haunts me. I’m sure many would agree while still appreciating humor’s curative ability and humanity. The comment is so tone deaf one could imagine it coming from Margaret Dumont herself. Modern theatrical comedy is dead because studios fear offending a minority empowered by social media. This forces me into the arms of dead people like W. C. , L&H, Buster, Marx Bros, Stooges, etc. Thankfully, their brands of anarchy and mayhem still hold relevance to today’s world. It just saddens me that I can’t look forward to anything new.) This is the 3rd comment on this video and all were posted today, one year after it was uploaded. I hope it receives more engagement because the author did a fantastic job without a Wiki cut and paste, using his own voice and I enjoyed it immensely! Thank you!
Isn't it on his tombstone: "I'd rather be in Philadelphia "?😊
W.C. Fields would of got elected President nowadays with an attitude like that.
