My conclusion from all of this is that we need to watch a lot more pre-1915 films.

The 1900s-1910s had 1860s nostalgia HARD. The 1920s were all-in for 1880s-1900s nostalgia. Legal booze! Nobody had ever heard of a World War! After WWII, nostalgia for 1900-1913...

To be clear, these are not introspective films that ruminate on the human condition or the inner lives of their characters. No. They are just slow. 10/10 love them
Many women opted for mid-length cuts or kept their long hair pinned back to accommodate the new, close-fitting hats. "Cootie cages" or Princess Leia buns had a moment.
Bobs were one thing but straight up getting what the fellas get was still shocking (and would cause a stir again when the 1960s revived it as the Pixie)

The 1921 French epic L'ATLANTIDE is slower than molasses and I love it so. Shot on location in Algeria and starring Stacia Napierkowska as Queen Antinea, who kidnaps French soldiers, drives them to their deaths and then bronzes their bodies for decor. God forbid a woman should have hobbies.
The film is clunky, melodramatic, overacted and quite sloppy in places in an apples to apples comparison with other features and epics of the period. The problem is that very very few people watch 1912-1915 features and epics. Or BOAN itself, in many cases. It's a Blue Stone of Galveston situation.
But in the meantime, just watch anything directed by Jean Durand. One of the most wonderfully weird people to ever direct a movie and he deserves to be better known
They frequently poked fun at their age gap and traded off being the problem. In FOX TROT FINESSE (1915), the younger wife cannot get enough of the latest dance craze, while her husband just wants to relax and unwind.
A lot (and I mean A LOT) of self-proclaimed liberals and progressives and general "not a racist bone in my body" declare that they can look past the racism of BIRTH OF A NATION to see the art because they are immune to propaganda. While parroting debunked propaganda about what the film "invented"
Just now — @RepJeffries and the Congressional Black Caucus joined the call for athletes to boycott schools in states where Republicans are racially gerrymandering (like Tennessee) to strip Black folks of representation
Nothing like a Proletarian Revolution, bruh! I swear this video makes me laugh every time I come across it on social media. Cos we all know he ain't talking about Mao Zedong or a Proletarian Revolution, but the editing just makes the video come together, lol. 🤣😭

53 years ago, a Supreme Court decision protected reproductive freedom and ensured everyone access to safe healthcare. Although Roe v. Wade has been overturned, our belief remains the same. Everyone should have the right and the autonomy to make decisions about their body. The fight will continue.

With all those empty bleachers, I thought it was the Vanilla Ice Not-Dead-Just-Melted return tour. No. It’s the launch of Turning Point’s campus tour, starring Lay-Z-Boy Vance and everyone’s favourite widow, Erika Kirk. With that “crowd,” looks like they may have reached their turning point.

#JesseJackson #Obama #funeral There is no doubt that Reverend Jesse Jackson has influenced my way of thinking... I wish I had been in Chicago so I could have tagged along with him since the early 80s... a legacy of hope.
After being found liable for sexually abusing E Jean Carroll and later found liable for defaming her…. fast forward to today’s and most abusive DOJ in American History, he asked them to investigate who paid for her defense legal bills…. What a mother fucking fascist dictator this man is

EXPECTORATION If anyone spat on me it would be the last thing they did I don't know how these worshippers in Jerusalem's holy places allow them to cough up their guts & spit at them. I know Jesus said you should turn the other cheek, but it wasn't so another gob could land on it Follow #MOATS 555
