Of the countless films which Roscoe Arbuckle and Charlie Chaplin would plow through during their tenures at Mack Sennett’s Keystone Studios (Chaplin’s being of a mere 10-month duration), in only seven of them-between March 2 and September 7, 1914-would they appear together. Only the last, their hilarious drunken carousal in “The Rounders”, can be considered an equitable collaboration. Begrudgingly billed and still remembered as “Fatty” as well as overshadowed by the enduring legacy of Chaplin’s Little Tramp, it is sadly lost on many contemporary movie lovers what a pioneering comedic genius Roscoe Arbuckle was, not to mention one of cinema’s first truly beloved superstars. He mentored both Chaplin and Buster Keaton and it should go without saying that Chris Farley, John Belushi, and Jackie Gleason are a few who owed tremendous debts of gratitude to Roscoe.

Straight Outta Compton Hit Movie: But a Sad Commentary on Society! (Must Read ARTICLE)
“You are what you eat”. This manner of thinking is widely accepted in today’s society. People know that a healthy diet and lifestyle typically yields a healthy life. Conversely, a diet riddled in high fat and sugars, fast foods, and empty calories typically results in health problems, such as diabetes, obesity, and generally poor health.
We accept this fact regarding the things that we put into our bodies, but do we accept this in what we put into our minds? This week, a movie entitled “Straight Outta Compton” topped the box office with a $56.1 million opening. Social media has been buzzing about the movie, and demographics show that the majority of movie goers were under age 30….. and the majority were female. That fact is troubling to me. Why? For more reasons than a few.
