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)

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

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 soldier...

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...

British Person: CAN THEY MAKE 1900s CANNIBAL COMEDIES AGAIN, WE LIKE CANNIBAL COMEDIES This British person is correct!
Nobody, absolutely nobody, is immune to propaganda and people who think they are are foolish. Movie propaganda is frequently harmless (I simply had to see Doune Castle because of Monty Python) but there are many cases where it is not. "I just won't let it affect me!" is incredibly naive.
Over the weekend, someone on Bluesky told me they "find it hard to believe" that a white supremacist talking point (claims of BIRTH OF A NATION's art and innovation were manufactured to push it into the mainstream) would be accepted and believed for decades... And I am honestly still not over it.
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.
When someone suggests that I, an early film person who regularly dives into the context of pre-WWI cinema, don't modern cinematic universes because I can't handle the homework...
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.

An okay read but not Mansell's best. I liked the women characters, but the men were pretty poor, I have to admit - they seemed to have a nasty edge I didn't much warm to. In addition, Still, the writing is good, but I can't recommend this one. Sorry! #bookreview

Former CIA Director and 4-Star Gen Petraeus says drone war is accelerating: "Ukraine went from 3.5M drones last year to 7M this year. If it finds enough pilots, it can reach 20,000 drones a day. Next come truly autonomous systems & drone swarms - & the West does not really have a solution yet."

This is what’s actually happening with the SAVE Act. Having a National ID requirement is a distraction. Listen to the video which he accurately describes what the threat is—kicking US citizens off the voter rolls via an inaccurate DHS system, and then they have a short window of time to re-register.
