Title: A Holiday DVD Recommendation
Post by: Eel O'Brian on November 21, 2007, 02:46:13 AM: http://www.amazon.com/Three-Stooges-Collection-One-1934-1936/dp/B000SSQ7JW

19 Stooges shorts, in chronological order, from 1934-36. A new remastering, so they all look and sound great. 20 bucks. No extras, though.

+1

The stooges are awesome, Prole. From the era when pure violence ruled entertainment, as it should be.

I agree. I never found the stooges funny. Slapstick humor isn't my thing.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on November 21, 2007, 06:11:19 PM: I think some of you would be surprised at how different the early Stooges stuff is. They had a decent budget, and weren't recycling footage all the time like they were with the later low-budget shorts. The stuff from the early 30s has a mini-film quality to it, with more sophisticated plots and clever dialogue. the short features didn't really devolve into pure slapstick until the 40s.
