1918 movie theater slide Well then

Pair of recommended slides from 1915

Was just remembering "Yonda stands da castle of my fodda" which I don't think was ever actually said but Tony Curtis's 1950s costume films made you think he did

Big if true

The Pants Cycle

Used to be, you could just go to the movie theater and expect lion pictures

Lions attack in the 1911 French film THE ROMAN ORGY, directed by Louis "Les Vampires" Feuillade. It's a lavish picture and it gave audiences what they wanted: lions eating people. In fact, trade magazines casually referred to Lion Pictures as their own genre.

I once again repeat: People declare they won't watch a black and white silent movie and then wander off to watch, murky, monochrome modern movies where everyone mutters and mumbles under an unmelodic yet aggressive score.

🎞️ Join us next Friday, May 15th for our next ONLINE WITH SFFP event: “Cinema Slides: The Greatest Images Never Seen!” Before the movie started, there was the slide show. 1/3

THE GLASS KEY Can't think of another movie with this exact turn of phrase but I am also not that into talkies.

Stumbled on some pro and anti-censorship efforts from 1916 they were absolutely all over the place. Pro Censorship objected to: Charlie Chaplin generally Scenes of animal cruelty Pacifist movies Movies bring too much pleasure and we can't have that Movies ok for over-16s

Well well well looks like those art degrees aren't so useless after all

“They stole my face” sounds fantastical but she has a literal confession.

Wanna see a silent movie that Bluesky’s vibe coded AI nanny bot claims is “adult content?” Link in reply (because otherwise this post will get dinged)

Commercials and advertising films are funny because they are annoying when new but the highlight of any retro program “WITH ORIGINAL ADS“ is a legitimate enticement

Movie Accent Discourse? Huzzah! I get to dust off my request that we not only lose the BBC accents as default old timey, we also eschew modern social interpretation of the accents we will use! In short, the working class characters don’t need to be Northern or Scottish either

Maybe perhaps… Hanburder?

We’ve been told our content needs to be more informative so here you go

Prime with ads. Just how Kubrick intended.

It always surprised me that I didn’t get into high fantasy, given my junior medievalist tendencies as a kid, and low fantasy is not my thing at all. Turns out I just really like Ruritanian adventure and Flash Gordon raygun sci-fantasy

I would say these guys are master trolls but I genuinely think they’re just not bright. These are the guys who grandly announced that people were now allowed to discuss Avengers: Endgame because a Spider-Man trailer dropped gizmodo.com/joe-russo-sp...

I didn't eat tacos but I did watch a silent movie portraying the Franco-Prussian War

Tom is a little but too excited about potential peeping in LADY GODIVA (1911)

RIP freud. you would’ve loved whatever this is.

"Hello, Maye! Your son is so smart and handsome!"

Between an injury, a long vacation, multiple infections and a medical reaction, my workout schedule was shot but I am finally getting myself going again. Anyway, success isn't in perfection, it's in picking myself up and starting again.

Filling my sketchbook page because it’s my expensive one 😜

This 1910 sheet music design tho

I still agree with this 1907 card.

I will have the brains and scrambled eggs, defying Mad Cow, and then banana cake and tea.

We've discussed extensively how food safety was pretty much invented AFTER the first motion picture was screened. How brilliant artists died from infected teeth and pneumonia. We've touched on the primitive addiction treatment methods. So, how do you think their mental health care was? Hmm?

If I had a nickel for every movie where historical himbo loses a sword duel to the woman he loves whilst she is disguised as her own fictional brother, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but…

Have it my way indeed

FRED OTT'S SNEEZE: EXTENDED CUT (1894) Additional frames were discovered in print form, so they were scanned and added to the picture.

I don’t do a lot of handmade watercolors (most of them are shimmers and metallics and I am happy with my Coliro) but I do grab a pan or two from Poems About You from time to time. Potters Pink, Mars Crimson, Mayan Blue, Indigoge (Indigo/Gamboge)

Tired: Black Metal is actually Surf Rock Wired: Power Metal is actually Schlager I will not explain

Authentic film presentation vs going absolutely ham on hilarious “behave yourself at the theater“ slides

I think it’s obnoxious that we get a trillion Beauty and the Beasts but almost no cinematic Town Musicians of Bremen. CGI had one job

NOBODY COULD TELL IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MADAME X BECAUSE SHE DID NOT WANT TO DO THE MAKEUP OR PIN UP HER BEACHY WAVES I love this for her. She thought she nailed it, which is so much better than not trying

DOWN WITH THE SECOND FRENCH EMPIRE, WE NEVER LIKED IT ANYWAY (glances around) Are we not doing this?

Bang! Justus T. Barnes shoots the camera in THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY (1903)

Oof

I feel it is vitally important for more people to understand that they probably cannot pull off taupe. I am not sure where the notion sprouted that taupe was a good color for anything other than neutral pumps that go with everything

I'm not offended by him. He's a sendup of the overblown French lovers of studio era Hollywood and is consistently portrayed as an unwelcome pest.

Sometimes, people will joke about being able to talk during a silent movie but vintage theater slides were, more often than not, just some variation of SHADDUP!!! No talking, no rustling your popcorn bags and if you must eat peanuts, shell them quietly.

Our sparkling new restoration of Victor Fleming’s HULA (1927) screens THIS FRIDAY at 3 PM at @castrotheatre.bsky.social as part of the 29th San Francisco Silent Film Festival — and Clara Bow is absolutely electric. 🎬✨

Well, I don't know about the rest of you normal people but we ITA survivors are getting flashbacks from the AI classroom rollout
