In any event, Sunrise is still considered one of the best silent movies of all time, and Wings would probably be largely forgotten today if not for the trivia of it being the first Best Picture winner, so I have to think Mr. Berardinelli will award it more than the 3 stars he gave Wings.

I'd go a little further: no prints of WINGS would probably exist today if it hadn't won the Academy Award. In fact, for a number of years, it was thought to be a lost film. SUNRISE is widely viewed as being among the best surviving silent films (I'll weigh in on whether I agree with that assessment in the review), but I often wonder what has been lost. Keep in mind that only about 10% of the silent films produced still exist. There's a lot of crap in that 90%, but probably some real gems as well.

No smilies for me, though, because real men emote by not emoting.

If you come up with a few more of the things only real men do, you'll have a solid foundation for a self-help book.

Gob: I’m the pathetic one, Buster, not you. I totally freaked out in front of that prosecutor today. Like a little girl. In a little dress. Little saddle shoes. Little pigtails.

Buster: Wow, that does sound like a little girl.

You know, Buster's right. Shame the family put him through circumstances where his hand had to put through pots and pans.
