re: Any Buster Keaton Fans here?

I think his greatest influence was on Raymond Griffith.

Not familiar with Griffith, so you're probably right.

Watching Linder's Seven Years Bad Luck recently, I was struck by how similarly his Max persona and chaplin's Tramp move. Chaplin is much more exaggerated, but the shuffle is similar.

Anyway, for Keaton, I don't think you can beat his short, One Week (pictured above by Kafka), or his 1925 feature, Seven Chances.
