Can we still watch old comedy sketches?

When I was checking out this post about the best UK comedy sketch of the '70s I found myself being impatient. Is this my state of mind at this moment? Or is it because we are used to everything fast nowadays?

I apologize for giving you two decisions to make.

Lewis Baltz - Photographer?

Lewis Baltz, artist, didn't like photography. Now that's news. Better news than Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are in Prague for their honeymoon ... and guess what ... it rains!!!!!! Wow!

I always thought Lewis Baltz was a photographer. Was I wrong! He's an artist who accidently took photo's. Desolation, garbage, destruction. I like!

Matrioska

Matrioska by Co Hoedeman - 1970.

This is a dance of Russian dolls, as lively in its way as any performance of the Moiseyev Company. What the animator does with them makes for a charming film fantasy. They twirl, swing and sway to gay Russian tunes, never losing their fixed reserve. As the dance ends they hop up in turn into the mother figure, who then hurries off the scene.

Production : National Film Board of Canada
