  1. I'm really glad you mentioned Keaton. The General is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen.

  2. Even though I had a relatively bad experience with The General (or at least, a less than amazing experience), I can see that it was the fault of a bad video release and unrelated to Keaton's awesomeness.
