THE WIZARD OF OZ (1939) was the third cinematic reboot of Oz. The Selig company brought it to the screen in 1910 (after L Frank Baum lost his shirt on a multimedia presentation that included some filmed sequences), Baum relaunched in the mid-1910s, Larry Semon did his worst in the 1920s.

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...

Liedtke was wasted in dramatic roles. His great talent was aristocratic, debauched and slightly tipsy charm and it was a shame to cast him in anything but bedroom farces.
THE RAILWAY OF DEATH (1912) was shot in Camargue and reflects the European frenzy for westerns. The film, directed by Jean Durand, is best described as Coyote vs Roadrunner with real guns. 10/10 highly recommended, it's absolutely bonkers.
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
Buel loved his doors and windows. This take-us-back-in-time shot from THE MYSTERY OF THE SLEEPING DEATH, for example.

British Person: CAN THEY MAKE 1900s CANNIBAL COMEDIES AGAIN, WE LIKE CANNIBAL COMEDIES This British person is correct!
It doesn't help that the film's setup would have Bertie Wooster remarking on what a sap the hero is. Still, it does have Sally Rand and Franklin Pangborn in supporting roles, so that's fun

A rather stark welcome home. I didn’t see the moment this lad took down the drone, but as I stepped out of the station to get my taxi, the alert hit, sirens, people moving quickly, that familiar urgency as the driver politely said “rocket” Russia wastes no time reminding you where you are.

Let me add some context here because I know how this can sound. This is not saying you don’t love your kids. And it’s definitely not saying you need to be endlessly calm or never get frustrated. Parenting is hard. You’re going to have moments where you’re short, where you snap, where you don’t

Criticizing Israel is not tolerated in the UK apparently and it’s not tolerated in America either. He made the mistake of saying that Israel controls the United States. And… 🧐 Meanwhile, in America. They’re going to try and pass a bill in the House that combines the Israeli and US militaries. ⬇️
