Over the weekend I watched Test Pilot, made in 1938 starring Errol Flynn.
The Penguins of Madagascar. Funny and cute.
The Penguins are my very favorite characters from the Madagascar movies. Absolutely hilarious!
Red seaweed extract.
An eight-hour-long safety training presentation for the local carageenan factory which rented us out from 7 am to 5pm. And that's just the first half -- the second eight hours is Thursday. It's like an industrial film by Erich von Stroheim.
Watched Grand Budapest Hotel last night and was impressed and amused. Set in eastern europe in 1932. Definite vintage feel in spots and very funny. Don't know if anyone else has seen it or commented ?
There's a quasi-reconstruction of "Greed" out there, using Ken Burns-style panning of stills to fill in the deleted scenes. Some prefer it to the release cut, others think it's bloated and draggy.
Stroheim's original idea was to film the original novel, page by page, omitting nothing -- Irving Thalberg didn't think that was what movie audiences in 1924 were interested in seeing, in an era when the average American feature ran a little over an hour.
Men Must Fight (1933) About a world war in 1940, they got it about right. They also had bombers that could wipe out New York with three bombs! Plus, TV, and a video phone, not bad.
