Larry Semon Has One at Last That is Funny -- March 1, 2026

Chicago Tribune, 03-March-1926

Larry Semon's recent comedies had been flops, especially his notorious feature-length adaption of The Wizard of Oz. His feature, based on a Broadway musical, Stop, Look and Listen, seems to have indicated a comeback. Only part of the film survives.

A waste of pixels. A great source of snide comments. The director was a great friend of Jeffrey Epstein.

"on track to lose Amazon tens of millions of dollars...:

"must watch..."

"apart from this it was a fantastic cinematic experience.."

"force the troops to see (it)..."

"2 tickets sold in England..."

"Watching Melania's journey from Slovenian prostitute to First Lady is like walking barefoot in a field of Lego while you have explosive diarrhea!" -- RogerEbert.com

Several people said that the movie was shown on an airplane and people walked out.

2025 Summary -- January 1, 2026

listal.com

2025 was another interesting year. President T***p and his minions tried to destroy our country, ignoring the rule of law.

Occupy Democrats

January got off to a wild start. On the morning of the First, a terrorist plowed into people celebrating on Bourbon Street, killing 15 people and wounding many more. Later in the same day, a Tesla Cybertruck exploded in the driveway of the T***p Hotel in Las Vegas. At first, no one knew if it was just a Tesla blowing up like usual, but we later learned that it was a suicide.

President Tr***mp went on a rampage after he was inaugurated. He tried to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. He offered early retirement to many thousands of federal employees. He illegally dismissed a number of Inspectors General. He gutted the CIA and the FBI. 

Time, February 23, 2025

Wildfires in the Los Angeles area burned for weeks, killing at least 29 people.
