wtf japan Chaplain's only fault was having a hard-on for sixteen-year-olds, which isn't so much a fault as an indication that he was alive.

HURF BLURF DUH      In these times, it really would be smart of a comic actor to go back to Chaplin and study him well to learn how to do comedy that really empathizes with the lower classes. And I don't mean Larry the Cable Guy either. Whoever managed to capture that properly would become a big big star.

kingofthenothing      I must admit I was largely ignorant of Mr. Chaplin, but I can see how he has influenced a lot of performers. It seems like even Jackie Chan has taken a few pages from his book.

I'm convinced if you were to make a list of people who contributed to humanity this past century, he'd be up there with Einstein and Hendrix.

Lauritz Melchior      Chaplin was brilliant!
He not only starred in his own movies, but produced them, directed them, wrote them, composed for them and had a social and political conscience to boot!

pastorofmuppets I was surprised to learn that there were escalators built that early. Incidentally, the WP article on escalators is a pretty good read.
