Got a new avatar. For those who don't know the old one, it was this.
This new avatar is quite remarkable, as it has never been seen on the internet.
Today it was announced that a long lost scene from a Stan Laurel film was uncovered in the archives of the Fries Film Museum in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. About 5 miles from where I live. This scene was from the silent movie "Detained". Laurel had yet to form the legendary duo with Oliver Hardy. The scene involves an inmate who is thrown trough a wall. he subsequently and by pure accident lands his head in a noose and his neck is stretched way longer than possible. Copies of the film were usually cut short for home media and this scene was thought lost forever.
So here's the avatar. A never seen before picture of mr. Stan Laurel, before he worked with Hardy.
16 minutes are now known of the film that had an original lengt of 20 minutes. These 16 minutes, including this scene, was uploaded to youtube.
