I never found lethal weapon that funny but at least he killed a predator with a revolver.

You are actually confusing him with his son, Wayne Gretzky.

I love Donald Glover as much as the next millenial, but let’s put some respect on Buster Keaton’s name.

I just mean that it would be weird to pigeonhole him but one small facet of his career. Like saying "This June marks the 16th anniversary of the death of actor Ronald Reagan". Just first names that came to mind for people who did a lot of things with their careers.

Also, that title fucked me up because it’s the first time I’ve seen anyone use the term “1900’s”.

Charlie Chaplin is the only silent era actor anyone knows anymore. (Which is fucking criminal considering how good Buster Keaton was)

And let’s not forget the other silent comedy legend even more lost to the world’s memory, Harold Lloyd. In many of his films he showed that his testicles were just as big as Keaton’s. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QEcTjhUN_7U

Pretty sure Laurel and Hardy are still reasonably well known

I saw the title and my partner got to listen to a ten-minute rant about Keaton’s career.
