This is the Buddy for March 5th. It's Harold Lloyd, hanging from a tower clock in that scene from the movie Safety Last!

I traced it from this image from the movie. It's on the public domain, so no worries there.

I found out a lot of those early movie comedians performed their own stunts, which is pretty imprssive - Lloyd himself lost a few fingers after a prop bomb malfunctioned.

That means that despite playing dweeby guys, those actors (Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton) were actually pretty fit, as you can kind of notice from an infamous picture of Chaplin without his iconic outfit and mustache. So, pretty badass.

My drawing isn't too badass, unfortunately, but I was in a bit of a rush when I drew it. Sounds like modern times are busy for everyone, eh?

Charlie Chaplin is the one with all the acclaim (and after watching City Lights he earned it), but Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton deserve special mention as well. Those guys were funnier and did much more dangerous stunt work (and better trick photography). What they were missing though was the pathos that Chaplin brought to the screen. The Kid, City Lights, Modern Times and even The Great Dictator weren't merely funny, but were emotionally moving. It's more than enough to make up for the fact that he wasn't as much of a stuntman.

They're all great though, and some of their best are in the public domain so go watch them! Outside of the Chaplin films I mentioned I'd suggest One Week and Sherlock Jr. by Buster Keaton, and Safety Last! by Harold Lloyd.

It occurs to me that we are now in an era where we can see movies that are 100 years old and are also excellent! 1923 has a number of hits, but you cannot do better than SAFETY LAST, Harold Lloyd’s masterpiece! Filled with hilarious jokes and unbelievable stunts. This one still holds up in a major way!

Shhh… Chichester International Film Festival celebrates the silents

This August, silent film fans in search of a summer holiday should take trip to sunny West Sussex, and the Chichester International Film Festival.

It’s no coincidence that there are a few of his favourite films in the programme,…

Safety Last:

What to say about Safety Last? I could tell you that it was a big influence on the action movie genre as we know it, with its resourceful everyman protag and its ENORMOUS set-piece in the second half. I could tell you that it's been directly referenced in Back to the Future, On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Hudsucker Proxy, and god knows what else, continuing to influence filmmakers for decades after its initial release. I could tell you how impressive it is that Harold Lloyd did all that stuntwork with only two fingers on his right hand -- he's wearing a prosthetic so the viewers won't get distracted by it, but when you know you know. I could even tell you that slapstick comedy's Third Genius, so often overshadowed these days by Chaplin and Keaton, deserves some love -- Lloyd's gags are timeless, big old clock notwithstanding. But what I will say is this: at the end of the day, it's just a damn good movie.

Superman:

Following the exploits of the hero Superman, this film is notable for it's gorgeous animation and film noir aesthetic. The Fleischers perfected their use of rotoscoping with this cartoon, finding a perfect balance between the outrageous zany animation of the 1930s and the realistic but stiffer animation that was to come in the decades ahead. The characters in this film are all realistically proportioned and move like real people but the rotoscoping allows for the animators to capture a lot of smaller details that would normally be ignored. Notice how Superman is given a moment to readjust his body position before bracing to catch an entire building. This film is full of small little moments that allow the characters to essentially take a breath and give more life into the action on screen. I really do love this short film in particular, from it's use of colors (look at the night sky! there are so many different shades of blue!) to it's sense of fun (Superman punches through lasers! The bad guy has a pet bird who is doing equally evil things! So much goofiness in general!).

I love Zutara as much as the next girlie, but I think people romanticizing Zuko catching Azula's lightning in the Final Agni Kai are doing Zuko's character a massive disservice. He would have done that for anyone. Not just anyone in the Gaang, anyone.

He did it for the division he ended up getting burned over. He did it for his subordinate that was going to fall to his death after the ship was struck by lightning. He did it for Lee, when he was kidnapped by Gao. He did it for Iroh, when he confronted his dad and tried to break him out of prison. He did it for the whole Gaang at the Western Air Temple. He did it for Sokka, Suki, and Hakoda at the Boiling Rock.

His whole character revolves around saving everyone else first. Hell, he tried to save Zhao of all people! There's no way that would have gone well for Zuko if Zhao had actually taken his hand. He always does what he thinks is right first before considering his own safety.

Zuko always saves other people. Even if, especially if, he can't save himself.

#look i love zutara #but zuko has no conception of personal safety #there are better zutara moments in atla!!!! #like i will absolutely still read fanfic that romanticizes that scene #but it still would have happened if literally anyone else had been standing there #zutara #zutara criticism #i'm going to tag this as #anti zutara #just in case someone doesn't want to see a critique of the ship #i'm not really critiquing the ship #but out of an abundance of caution #uh actual antis if you see this: behave yourselves lol #zuko #avatar the last airbender #atla
