Classic Movie History Project Blogathon -- January 12, 2014

Over at my new blog, The Big V Riot Squad (http://bigvriotsquad.blogspot.com/), I am participating in the Classic Movie History Project Blogathon.  Each blogger is writing about one year between 1915 and 1950.  My entry is "1916, A Funny Year" (http://bigvriotsquad.blogspot.com/2014/01/1916-funny-year-january-12-2014.html).  I wrote about the state of slapstick in 1916.  Charlie Chaplin's first eight Mutual comedies came out in 1916.  Harold Lloyd and many others were still imitating Chaplin.  Lloyd Hamilton was appearing in Ham and Bud movies.  Oliver Hardy was in the Plump and Runt series. 

I'm looking forward to reading about every year.
