To quote from the article -
"Many silent film stars like Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin and Laurel and Hardy are still household names despite the fact that we live in an era of films laden with compter graphics."
He must have been watching Laurel and Hardy with the sound off.

Anybody seen it? I was sceptical, but IIRC the adverts in the papers show it's got 10 five star reviews from tabloids and broadsheets alike.

Reminds me of when I got dragged along to see "Chicago" when it first came out. I didn't know it was a musical (I can't stand musicals) and my wife told me afterwards the look on my face when Richard Gere got up and started singing was an absolute picture.
Since then I've been very circumspect both of my my wife's film suggestions and the opinions of the various juries who give prizes to films.

Earlier Laurel and Hardy films were silent, RR; their first "talkie" was in 1929, three years after thier film debut as a pair.

The silence will enable the discerning among us to better enjoy the crackling of popcorn packets, the slurping of litre beakers of mind altering chemical potions and the trilling of assorted ring tones, provided as an alternative sound track by Chav Central!
