      Hermes infamously delivered a package to a house and put a note through the door.
      'Your package has been put in a safe space. Location: roof gutter.'
      You can search this it even has pictures of it!
      The idea of the delivery operative was to throw the package through an open upstairs window but they overcooked it.

    The General holds a special place in the hearts of Railfans world wide. The use of the classic American locomotives and the cinematography and stunts with the locomotives was some of the best when people use trains in movies. Some of the more modern movies that use locomotives contemporary to the era they're set, use CGI and not real locomotives.

    It's also worth saying that Buster's textbook method of filmmaking was that all actors on screen only saw what was in the frame. They literally only 'saw' what was in the shot and visible to the viewer. This gave way to endless gags and slick moves, as well as Buster playing with different camera angles to get different responses and make different messages out of the same shot, which he would choose later which angle was best. Who knew the amazing comedy that would come from shrinking scenes down, and tailoring them around only what the viewer was capable of seeing

    For anyone who hasn't already seen it, I highly recommend checking out the _Twilight Zone_ episode that Buster was in that Dank referenced near the end.
    It's titled "Once upon a Time," and it's excellent, with roughly one half of it being done in silent film fashion complete with piano music, and the other half with dialogue, including from Buster himself.
    It's one of the finest episodes in a series full of wonderful episodes, and Buster is clearly enjoying himself, including doing a full recreation of his famous building collapsing right over him.

      @@TommyCrosby Though keep in mind that inflation is not a great way to understand the real cost of something in the past, it needs to be compared to average earnings to better fit the bill because inflation doesn't happen in a bubble. Right now we live in an era of not only hyper inflation (and boy oh boy, the after birth of those "15 days to flatten small businesses and rights... I mean the curve" are going to hit *HARD* in the near future) but average earnings have moved at a crawl. Money has lost almost half it's value in the US in the past decade but wages have barely moved so not only did things cost less 10 years ago, you made more relieve to the price of good. So basically while inflation had effectively doubled prices on paper, you're also not making any more money relative to this so it's more like things cost four times as much. This is why you'll heard people call inflation a hidden tax.
