Of course it does! I'm not that big a fan of his films, but the guy comes accross as really likeable and there is something really endearing about the fact that he only wants to entertain. And obviously the fact he does his own stunts, plays the ordinary person thrust into the absurd situation, likes his things fairly fast paced, etc, can be traced back to his love of Keaton. But me, I'm waiting for him to combine that with War and Peace!
He's said it repeatedly that Keaton is his favorite actor. His films are often full of subtle or not so subtle references to Keaton's films. Remember the one where he's hanging from the clock on the side of the town hall or something like that?
