Never forget that Fritz Lang, the dictatorial director of classic German silents like Metropolis (1927), literally wore a monocle.

One of the best portraits of the inimitable Buster Keaton, if you ask me. 🌼

I think the left one's my favorite!

July 22, 1932 The Norfolk Daily reports that while Buster Keaton was away boating, his dog, Elmer, wandered off and "became notorious in a fight with a Culver City canine and landed in jail, the town having no pound. Elmer ate at the rate of three dollars' worth of meat a day."

We don't admire the clean, simple cinematography of some of these early slapstick comedies enough

This milestone Keaton stunt took place today, almost 100 years ago!

Looking forward to it! I recall reading an anecdote about the making of "Intolerance"--during the Babylon battle scenes, danger even came from fellow extras, who were a little too into their roles of throwing debris from the high palace walls...

A rather eye-catching lobby card for the comedy "Thanks For the Buggy Ride" (1928), lol.

When we say that cinema advanced very rapidly in the early 20th century, we aren't kidding!

I've often been iffy about the about the "bookend" scenes in Calgari, but even thos sure had some cool visuals.

Louise poses for a picture in Ocala, Florida during the filming of It’s the Old Army Game (1926). The snapshot was discovered decades later in a photo album of one of the town’s residents.

Definitely worth a watch! 👀

Actor Maurice Costello, stage star and one of the earliest "matinee idols" (he entered films in 1908). He apparently confounded the Vitagraph studio by insisting on ONLY working as an actor, not doing double duty as a carpenter or prop man as was expected.

Lost Movie #169 "Soft Money" is a 1919 American short comedy film featuring Harold Lloyd. The film is considered to be lost.
