Watched this documentary during a fight last month and it was really good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDyBBkC7Lk8

That's only the trailer. Do you know if it's available in full elsewhere?

Looks like it's only available to rent, as far as streaming is concerned: https://www.justwatch.com/us/movie/the-great-buster-a-celebr...

Great article. And I love the site!

I love how non-intuitive everything is on the site, and I have to go looking for things, exploring. For example, the essays are listed under Archons. What are Archons? I love it! And I'm still not sure what lapsuslima.com is for, but it's really got my curiosity piqued.

I understand the motivation for good website design (inspired by "Don't Make Me Have to Think"), but unfortunately the downside is that almost every website I visit now looks, feels, and behaves almost identically. It's made the Internet so homogenous and boring.

If you haven’t seen Buster’s stuff, scroll through that (very long) article to get a sense of the reality-defying stunts and illusions that he weaves into his films. It’s amazing that the early film artists took the medium so far. I love Buster so much.

As an introduction to Buster I recommend Sherlock Jr.
