Wow, we have the movie. Chaplin and Keaton are both geniuses. No matter what...

Wow, a section from a Buster Keaton film where he doesn't fall down for over four minutes. I kid, this is genius.

Yeah, it would've been amazing to see what was good film if, instead of turning it off, you had watched the fucking movie.

I like the score of the mk2 edition better but this one is pretty good too.

Yes, this is the best copy (unless you've got a region 2 DVD player and can find the MK2 edition). David Shepard has produced two copies of The General to DVD, and although the one with the Alloy Orchestra's synth score has better image quality, the music for this one captures the mood better, I think. At the same time, Alloy's score for Eisentstein's Strike and Vertov's Man With A Movie Camera were excellent and totally fit the films.
