Yup.

I dunno, I'd rate it a notch below "The Freshman", "The Kid Brother", and "Safety Last", which have always seemed like the Harold Lloyd classics to me. The Kid Brother has such heart, and the other two have incredible stunts.

"Souls for Sale", 1923, featured cameos by Chaplin and by director Erich von Stroheim.

You think that's a joke, but you haven't seen "Get Out and Get Under"

"I like the Ravens, right?"

Ringo pretty famously walked out of the White Album sessions for a while. But he was Ringo. They could have gotten another drummer.

Don't think Scooter's sister existed outside of "Muppet Babies", which isn't canon.

"The Mystery of the Leaping Fish" is so goddamn weird. Available on You Tube and a must-see.

I don't. Hats are the worst.

Every time I see one of these lists, I remember the scene from "Veep" where Selina is in the back seat of a limo while her staff drills her on who her favorite football player is and what to say when asked about football.

…actually, there's kernel of irony in the fact that you assume the word "whore" refers only to women.

The writer does not mention that there is a cameo within a cameo in this movie. Right at the end of the Babe Ruth sequence, where Ruth is finally getting out of Harold's taxi, Lou Gehrig walks through the frame behind the cab. He looks straight at the camera.

"Show People" came out the same year and had a ton of celebrity cameos, including Charlie Chaplin and Douglas Fairbanks.

Compare that to when he recreated that sequence in "Feet First", and how much of a disaster it is. Really kills the comedy when you can hear Harold grunting and yelling and saying "Don't do that!" when pigeons land on his head.

Go watch him in "After the Thin Man".

If you look at the history of the Oscars, they whiffed in the early years, a lot, often quite badly. "It Happened One Night" and "All Quiet on the Western Front" deserved to win and "Grand Hotel" is defensible, but man, all the other picks from "Wings" through this film are serious whiffs.

Man, you couldn't be more wrong here. I'd like a version as close as possible to the original. If they find a dialogue track but have no visuals, then hell yes, give us production stills with dialogue. Better than nothing.

I like watching "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" and waiting for any shot that shows the right side of her face.

Ha. Lena Dunham would totally take her clothes off on the cover of an album. And she'd probably screech.

Those are some amazing clips. Lennon and his super group play "Yer Blues" and just bring down the house. Then Yoko comes on and starts screeching and just ruins everything, as usual.
