(distant scraping sound) (grows louder) (I enter the room pushing a soapbox) (gets on) MOVIES HAVEN'T HAD AN ORIGINAL THOUGHT SINCE 1916 OR THEREABOUTS

Hepworth's first big hit was RESCUED BY ROVER (1905), starring the family dog, Blair. Blair was enthusiastic and eager to help but couldn't seem to hold his licker.

Harry Liedtke awakens in a strange bed in THE OYSTER PRINCESS "These are not my pants"

Why we should not trust Bluesky's auto-mod: For my first trick, I will show it labeling a Victorian trick film, the Keystone Cops, and a stylized scene of hell as various forms of "adult content" My thread will not show if you have your default adult content settings on.

Magazines breathlessly reported on the debate, who liked short hair and who didn't. Who was cutting and who was keeping.

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

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.

GETTING GERTIE'S GARTER (1927) is a film that sounds spicy out of context-- a man tries to get a garter with his photo inside from his showgirl ex-- but the stage play was panned for being timid, mild, and decidedly unsexy. The film tries but it's all safe as milk.

California & the White House do not share the same values, especially when it comes to feeding our kids. This SNAP/CalFresh disruption wasn’t unavoidable. The administration has the funds to prevent it. This is an intentionally manufactured hunger crisis, & American families are paying the price.

The French Revolution began in 1789, sparked by massive national debt, crippling food shortages, and an unfair tax system that burdened the poor while the monarchy and nobility lived in luxury. When King Louis XVI's attempts to raise taxes failed, he was forced to call the Estates-General.
