Maniacal Marvelous Marx Brothers Monday at the Rookery
I haz most of the Marx Brothers work (though the big box set is currently loaned out) and those movies, soup + grilled cheese, and the anthologies of Calvin and Hobbes are my sekrit cure for days when you're either really sick or really depressed
And another Recommendation: Duck Soup, both for nomming and for watching

I haz 87 Clouded Points
((YEah Duck soup also))

I'm not getting them confused. I just don't know the Marx Brothers. All I know is Groucho has the fake eyebrows, mustache and cigar, and the other guy is mute and uses a horn. That's the extent of my Marx knowledge.
SG Mate: Cien, what the hell is this Rookery thing?

I wish someone had footage of their travelling vaudeville show. That must have been hilarious. Almost everything in the movies was based off their act.

I'm hoping to get to see Animal Cracker on stage out here in Chicago, since one of the theaters is doing it right now.

Hello all. I love the MB.
When I was a teen I went to the last film convention that Groucho attended before he passed away a few months later. He wasn't well enough to talk but his daughter (or grand daughter) spoke on his behalf and gave a very funny speech. Then after the dinner they showed Animal Crackers. It was surreal listening to the audience say the punchlines. (and I think it was this movie where a reporter asked one of the actors what it was like working with the Marx Brothers. They said it was almost impossible since once the cameras started to roll they all almost immediately went off the script and ad-libed everything.)

Pogo. I can't find the dialogue for Chico and Harpo looking for the painting in Animal Crackers.
Something about Chico looking for 'a flash'
Harpo producing a flask.
Chico calls it a flisk.
Harpo produces a trout.
Chico calls it a fish.
and so on....
Oh Intertubez why have you failed me!!!!!
