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...

My trifecta of Hella Problematic Extremely Long and Plodding Silent European Epics in Which Nothing Happens for 3 Hours at a Stretch and I Really Really Enjoy: THE INDIAN TOMB (Germany)

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.

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.

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

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.

They frequently poked fun at their age gap and traded off being the problem. In FOX TROT FINESSE (1915), the younger wife cannot get enough of the latest dance craze, while her husband just wants to relax and unwind.

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.

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.

⚖️ Kolkata: TMC chief and former WB CM Mamata Banerjee reached Calcutta High Court in lawyer’s attire to appear before Chief Justice Sujoy Pal in the post-poll violence PIL matter. She is likely to question multiple aspects of the ongoing proceedings. 👀

Health officials are still learning more about the outbreak of Hantavirus, so important to avoid overstating our knowledge right now. It is a virus capable of causing severe respiratory illness though it is not nearly as contagious as flu/covid. Always remain vigilant.

The “imminent threat” argument for striking Iran does not hold up. The administration cannot even keep its story straight about why the attack happened. When the explanation keeps changing, it usually means there was no real justification.

This arrogant Labor Government went to the election hiding its real agenda, promised no changes, then broke that promise and now acts like nothing happened. Australians were misled, and it’s the Opposition’s job to hold Labor to account.
