The Cook (1918) Fatty Arbuckle

[@wellofbeersheba]

20 minutes of beautiful chaos.

[@alycatpublishing1164]

They made a great team. I can't decide who's funnier; Fatty in the kitchen or Buster on the dance floor and they took spaghetti to new heights. The dog was fantastic too.

[@iconaus]

The dog is Luke, Fatty's pet, it stars in many other movied

[@ConnieHeartsValentino]

@@iconaus I couldn't believe what I saw, a dog climbing up a really high ladder!

[@SportingDrivesinColorado]

Thanks for keeping these alive and making them available.

[@iconaus]

thank you, it's not always easy with all these antiquated copyright laws

[@JuliusCaesar888]

Buster and Arbuckle were so far ahead of their time

[@HarryGrayOtis]

Amazingly, this film was only rediscovered in 1998. In the early 80s when I took a film class in college focused on the silent comics, this film was considered lost.

[@iconaus]

Luckly it is not lost

[@ConnieHeartsValentino]

So glad they it's still with us!

[@Spyglass-z6q]

It was discovered in the attic of a former hospital in Norway in 1999.

[@johncontos9577]

Well, it isn't lost no more!

Great, fantastic and immortal Roscoe Fatty Arbuckle!!! Respect forever!!! 👍👍👍

[@stephenoconnor9904]

Fatty & Buster did indeed make a Wonderful team together, as to who is the best, its too hard to say , really, you have to work that one out.

[@HollyCranfan]

It’s 1918 and Buster is walking like an Egyptian and en voguing like Madonna. Way ahead of his time.

[@jaynesager3049]

At that time, Americans were crazy about Egypt and oriental decor and fashion. It was very likely a spoof of the trend. Isn’t it great??

[@dancingtrout6719]

everything was done already

[@tegrek]

And like Fatboy Slim stole the idea in Push The Tempo..

[@ConnieHeartsValentino]

You nailed it! I caught the Madonna Vogue, but forgot about The Bangles!

[@RoarOfTheTwenties]

@@jaynesager3049 I find it very interesting that they were so fascinated with all things Egyptian. I believe that this could have been tied to the discovery of the tomb of King Tut.

[@astkcin]

A wonderful film! Godspeed Fatty! Buster Keaton: another true master of comedy!

[@kmterpin]

Oh no! I get the feeling PETA got "GOATLAND" closed down. Love seeing Keaton so facially expressive in Arbuckle silent shorts. RIP Roscoe & Buster, thanks for all the laughs🤩

[@traceycrossman1295]

That is so good, funny and a head of its time..

[@101wonderment]

who got this recommended to them after 100 years ?

[@bohemianvegan]

This is a spoof of the lost film "Salome" which was also from 1918. The film starred Theda Bara, which Fatty is doing an impression of her. Two minutes of the film survive.

[@Spyglass-z6q]

Fatty is spoofing Theda Bara in her 1917 film Cleopatra (Cleopatra’s death scene), and Buster is spoofing her snake dance in Salome (1918 film).

[@bohemianvegan]

@@Spyglass-z6q Thank you. It's too bad that both of those Theda Bara films only exist in fragments.

[@PoutinePete]

Al St.John was underrated. He was in Fatty and Buster's comedic league.

[@Spyglass-z6q]

I agree, he was so funny!

[@GffHll]

@@Spyglass-z6q Was he the clown guy?

[@Spyglass-z6q]

Yeah, the mean clown guy.

[@crahola54]

Not a word said and still is so much funnier than Friends!

[@ConnieHeartsValentino]

Oh my gosh, you said it! I couldn't stand Friends. Poor writing and worse jokes. Never understood the appeal.

[@BishopWalters12]

Friends is superior compared to any sitcom of the last decade.

[@Blueberryyymuffin]

Friends has its moments though.

[@laura69271]

i think Buster had a beautiful face ..his eyes was magnificent , his long face with white pale skin ,..his eyes..he was sexy i don`t know if he knew how beautiful he was...

[@taf44tt8io]

Più pazzi di Arbuckle e Keaton assieme, non si puo'. Altro che effetti speciali moderni, tanta tecnologia e poca sostanza. Complimenti per l'accompagnamento musicale, di cui si riconoscono un paio di citazioni (come la Badinerie dalla seconda suite per orchestra di Bach) :)

[@PoutinePete]

How cool was THAT?!

En plus des comiques fatty Arbuckle et Buster Keaton l ami Canin est formidable lui aussi . Buster adorait les chiens je l adore il était un grand créateur cinématographique et avait la particularité d être un vrai humain humble et aimant nos amis animaux. Grand homme éternel et intemporels pour des siecles.

That was incredible

Un dúo increíble haciendo una magia inigualable e insuperable hace 106 años!! el solo hecho de mencionarlo parece inverosímil!!!! Todo lo que vino después, es solo una mera imitación, una simple copia. Ellos ya lo habían inventado todo hace más de 100 años.

[@Spyglass-z6q]

Roscoe Arbuckle hated being called “Fatty.” No one who cared about him called him that.

[@Blueberryyymuffin]

Sadly, that is what he is known by.

[@MrJiggerG]

Excellent film, but I just cant help to notice how rough they were with animals. I wonder how many dogs fell 20ft to their death while climbing wooden ladders, while filming?

[@iconaus]

The dog was Fatty's pet, and starred in this and other Fatty and Keaton films. He has been a beloved dog not only by his owner, but by all of Hollywood

[@wide_awake]

Of course there’s gotta be that one person 🙄

[@calanon534]

It feels like sections were missing. A few frames here and there. The music was fitting for the type of film, and the era, but it did not fit this film at all. It didn't even flow with the scenes. Thanks for bringing Fatty Arbuckle to the world, though.

[@charlespage-camacho2115]

Well Mr. Anon, I've been recently experimenting with these silent flicks with my own customized soundtrack so you may do the same. P.S. find any ost and edit it into the film.

[@Rupert14]

What l haven't seen mentioned so far is that this was a lost film, for 84 years. Filmed in 1918 it was believed lost until 2002 when a relatively intact print was found in a closet in Norway. So nitpick about whatever you like, just be happy that this priceless film was found, and brought back to us, like buried treasure.

[@Rupert14]

​@@charlespage-camacho2115Personally l think your musical choice here is excellent.

I believe it takes more talent doing silent film you have to be more over the top and be good with facial expressions...

[@tertommy]

My ratings: Roscoe Arbuckle#1, Buster Keaton #2, Chaplin maybe #3, Snub Pollard and Ben Turpin.

[@Blueberryyymuffin]

No Harold Lloyd? I thought that guy was famous back then but I never hear him talked about. He was the main in the first silent movie I ever saw.

Cocaine and opium were the drugs of choice And alcohol

[@plymouthduster225]

Mabel Normand was addicted to cocaine from a read, and Fatty Arbuckle was at one time addicted to morphine after being given some for some either second or third degree burns he recieved when some stunt didn't go as planned.

[@sabineb.5616]

I like the dog best 😉 And Arbuckle wasn't half bad, but Buster Keaton, and in another Arbuckle scetch a very young Charly Chaplin as a hapless referee in a boxing match, could dance rings around Arbuckle! I also like Oliver Hardy better. There is a reason why Keaton, Chaplin, Laurel and Hardy are still household names while Arbuckle is mostly remembered for his unfortunate role in Virginia Rappe's tragic death. But still - Arbuckle wasn't just grossly obese, he also had talent and he deserved a better fate.

[@wide_awake]

Grossly obese? lol he was a big guy for sure

[@Blueberryyymuffin]

Arbuckle was the first to be blacklisted in hollywood. His films were mostly destroyed and it was all for something he didn’t do.

[@sabineb.5616]

@@Blueberryyymuffin , l fully agree with you, that Arbuckle Was shunned by the Hollywood producers and the audience for something he didn't do. And at the time of his death he was on the rise again, but he was dead before he was able to change his professional career in a more permanent way. Fate can be really cruel! However, I really think that Buster Keaton, Charly Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, or Harold Lloyd were way more talented than Fatty Arbuckle.

[@Blueberryyymuffin]

@@sabineb.5616 I wouldn’t say *way* more talented. Tbh I have only ever seen like 4 silent films in my life, 2 from Harold Lloyd, this one, and a little bit from Charlie Chaplin. I would like to see more, but, I think Arbuckle was ok in this one. I can see potential in him, so I think if I watched more of him and others from this time I would come to a definitive conclusion. But as of right now, I think he is really talented.
