Le bang! Le bang bang! Hurhurhur! And thank goodness stunts got a little safer so they didn't have to keep dropping their leading man onto a rolling train (you can tell from the dropped hat that this was not a slow train sped up via undercranking, they just had the poor man jump!)

Leatrice Joy knows she's busted in EVE'S LEAVES. Joy had adopted a severe bob (she said she did it on a dare from then-husband John Gilbert) but the studio was not happy that she went from spiral curls to a boy cut. This film was an attempt to play to her new, boyish look.

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)
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"
There are some beautiful shots in the film, including this extended scene of Pryce bolting out the window and being fired upon as the siblings watch. There is debate as to whether this film was directed by George Melford or Kenean Buel. This shot screams Buel.

X-ray revealed a secret painting hidden beneath this famous artwork - a portrait of a man, possibly a French general or even Joseph Bonaparte, the brother of Napoleon. This is Francisco de Goya's 1823 masterpiece, "Portrait of Don RamΓ³n SatuΓ©" - housed at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. #art #mystery

DEMOCRAT BAD ARGUMENT: The argument, ''Trump must be a pedo cause he doesn't sue people who accuse him of it''. This is the argument from silence fallacy. This is not evidence. This is not logic. This is a textbook example of faulty reasoning.
Nurses deserve more than applause. Safe staffing, workplace protections and proper support matter. A health service cannot keep running on burnout and political failure.
