The Telegraph reports that several patrons of a theater in Liverpool demanded refunds after sitting down to enjoy the much-ballyhooed homage to the silent film era, only to discover that it does far more than just celebrate them. “’Ello ‘ello, what’s all this then? Where’s the bloody soundsies and why’s the picture-wicture so bleeding eeny?” some Liverpudlians said in our thoroughly inaccurate depiction of Scouser slang, upon which the owners of the Odeon Liverpool One happily returned their pounds so they could spend them on pies or whatever. — ONION AV CLUB
Seriously, how hard it is to do a minimum amount of research about the film you’re about to see? I admit to sometimes enjoying going in blind, not knowing about the film I’m about to see, but I also don’t have a tremendous amount of fussiness about violence or content or the lack of synchronized sound. You’d think that people who do have a tremendous amount of fussiness would check these things out first. You would think.

One of the original chimpanzees who played Cheeta in the Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan movies died recently at the age of 80.
Watching TARZAN’S NEW YORK ADVENTURE on KPLR TV in St. Louis when I was young turned out to be a defining moment in my life. I suppose I’ll always have fond memories of those films and the performers who helped create them.
Rest in peace, Cheeta.
