Buster Keaton's 1927 film THE GENERAL is scheduled to be broadcast at 8PM eastern time tonight on TCM. Great railroad footage and exemplary physical comedy - anybody who hasn't seen it might wish to take advantage of this opportunity. Check your local listings...... your mileage may vary.

Not everybody has fast internet and unlimited data at low cost. We don't want to assume our way into ignoring them based on our own situations.
