This site was created September 2005 as a sub-domain of Laurel and Hardy Central. On January 1st, 2007,The Stuff You Gotta Watch was asked to remove itself from its place of residence. That request came from its wife. With nowhere else to go, it moved to its own domain.

The Internet is a big place and is filled with services that will host your own files for free.  Here at Stuff You Gotta Watch/Laurel and Hardy Central, we PAY to have our files hosted.  If you wish to use one of our pictures, feel free to save it onto your own server and use it however you wish.  But please, DO NOT HOTLINK to our pictures.  Hotlinking is stealing.  You use the picture, we pay for it.  That's wrong.  Don't do it.  Each month we run around like chickens without heads tracking down hotlinked images and removing them.  If you would all please stop hotlinking, you'd save us a lot of work.  Thank you.

Impossible Mission Statements

JL: "I foresee a time when movies (or some downloadable form of visual 'entertainment' that will take the place of movies) consist of a series of explosions and gross-out stunts, interspersed with commentary by real people who will vote on their favorite explosions and gross-out stunts."

JB: "And gratuitous shots of Morgan Freeman, who will be the only actor still getting work in movies because it's in his contract to be half of all Hollywood releases.  They could just cut to him and he'd say 'Wasn't that a cool explosion?  I'm Morgan Freeman.' "

"We are the Village Green Preservation Society.  God save Donald Duck, Vaudeville and Variety."
--- The Kinks

"I've changed everything. Instead of an English drawing room drama, I've made it a circus picture."
--- W.C. Fields, The Bank Dick.

"Tonight we present a traditional Japanese Kabuki play. Translated into English, this ancient work is entitled 'Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys'."
--- Tom Servo, MST3K

"The information superhighway showed the average person what some nerd thinks about Star Trek."
--- Homer Simpson, "...And Maggie Makes Three", The Simpsons

"So it stunk. Everybody makes flops except you. You haven't had one because you've made and re-made the same picture for the last 20 years. You know what you are? You're a popcorn salesman!"
--- Humphrey Bogart, In a Lonely Place

"Solution: We go 'viral'.  We get on 'the Net', and we 'blog it out'.  Ta-da!  We're up 800 percent among Suburban 'tweens!"
--- Actor Jonathan Michael Higgins, 2008 DirectTV commercial

"Let me put this bluntly, in language even a busy blogger can understand: Criticism - and its humble cousin, reviewing - is not a democratic activity. It is, or should be, an elite enterprise, ideally undertaken by individuals who bring something to the party beyond their hasty, instinctive opinions..." --- Critic Richard Schickel, Los Angeles Times, May 20th, 2007

The Stuff You Gotta Watch - Proudly Hasty, Instinctive and Non-Elitist Since 2005!
