For Heaven's Sake (1926), one of the great Harold Lloyd comedies, was partly filmed at the corner of Hudson and Hollywood Blvd.

Extra trivia about this spot:

Stan Laurel lived in the Hillview, located on the southwest corner, when he first moved to town.

Today the southeast corner features a mural of the classic Hollywood starlet Dolores del Rio.

picture a strange parallel make-believe world in which doctor who was in some nebulous way both not exclusively british and around in the 1920s silent film era…

i mean, last year when i was hyperfixated on the lovecraft mythos one of my friends faceclaimed buster for their idea of the eldritch trickster god nyarlathotep. so i thought hold on wait a minute

just fucking look at him.

silly little guy! silly little stuntman with an age-old sadness in his eyes. a weariness so heavy it cuts through the screen. he’ll flop around like a hyperactive puppy but you can instantly tell that something went deeply wrong in his past. he won’t tell you what. he’ll change the subject before you even remember to ask. he’s so tired

all dressed up smart in a magician’s suit but the tie’s lopsided and undone. he wears it that way because he thinks it’s cool. maybe it is

average doctor activities. Pondering

no comment for that one. he just does this in the middle of questioning some unfamiliar alien and nobody bats an eye

i’ve seen so many clips of five behaving exactly like this? bro’s always falling over dramatically. what is that it’s the unknown

nope not today! and then running from the threat ‘like a penguin with its arse on fire’

he can drive anything. sort of.

the final piece in the puzzle: in an episode of the twilight zone buster plays a time traveller. except the time machine (that bizarre contraption on his head) loses its shit as soon as he switches it on. remind you of anyone?

buster keaton is the ???th doctor in my mind. that is all. have a nice day. sorry for formatting a post in such a 2012 manner unfortunately that is par the course when discussing this sort of thing
