http://thegiddyblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/slapstick-summer-series-story-well-spun.html

Giddy [gid-ee] 1. (adj.) lighthearted; impulsive 2. (noun) nickname of this blog's admin, Chris Giddens. Monday, June 25, 2012. A Story Well Spun (1906), Pre-Iconic. A lesser-known work from the world's first female filmmaker. But one which is expertly filmed and a herald of things to come. From the start we see a Tramp-ish character as the lead, immediately pulling our mind toward Chaplin. We are then treated to an excellent chase-less chase sequence almost a decade before The Keystone Cops. The Origina...

The Giddy: Slapstick Summer Series! - The Fat and Lean Wrestling Match (1900), Wrestling w/ Melies

http://thegiddyblog.blogspot.com/2012/06/slapstick-summer-series-fat-and-lean.html

This film, like yesterday's. Also is not considered to be the 1st slapstick movie.but in this case, I'm not exactly sure why. Perhaps this is due to the physical comedy occurring only in an unexpected (and extreme) manner, but not not in an unexpected setting? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on the matter.

Giddy [gid-ee] 1. (adj.) lighthearted; impulsive 2. (noun) nickname of this blog's admin, Chris Giddens. Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Slapstick Summer Series: Exhibit E. Porter Getting Evidence (1906). Not just an early example of well-executed slapstick, but overall a truly wonderful film - one which seems much more modern than expected, thanks primarily to the skilled direction of Edwin S. Porter. And, for some reason, I can’t help but imagine Peter Sellers and David Niven in the lead roles. RIP Ray Bradbur...
