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...

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)
Magazines breathlessly reported on the debate, who liked short hair and who didn't. Who was cutting and who was keeping.
Max Linder in the comedy TROUBLES OF A GRASS WIDOWER (1908). When a husband quarrels with his wife, she goes home to mother and leaves him to keep house for himself. Humorous struggles ensue. (This is a BREADWINNER subtweet)
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"
Post an actor or actress that starts with the letter W (First or Last) William S Hart
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.
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
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.
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.

Tell the PM he’s dreaming if he thinks the issue of banning gambling ads is going to go away in the new year. The Parliament can no longer ignore the devastating impacts of gambling on Australians. The pressure for reform will only increase #auspol #politas

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.
I'm watching #ZhanZhaoAdventures and the fight choreography is fantastic but I'm lost with the plot. I think if you're not familiar with the source material you'll struggle to keep up with the exposition dumps. Luckily the charming leads and kickass wuxia moves are still hella entertaining #cdrama

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. ⬇️
