this flim is 100 flams old

[vom]

agreed

I watched one based on part of the magic flute as well which was pretty good, I liked Cinderella more though (also the other one was considerably less than a hundred years old, sickening)

[blombluss]

1922 Cinderella lookes utterly delightful!

[dng]

Also Haxan and Nosferatu are both 100 years old now

Haxan is 100 years old today

[dng]

I should probably watch it

[dng]

again

[dng]

Instead I'm watching a film that's only 74 years old

[dng]

(the naked city)

[dng]

Good so far (I'm only half way through)

[vom]

I absolutely loved The Naked City

I'm watching Leprechaun 5: Leprechaun in the Hood

It's 22 years old

[dng]

Yes, it was great (I've finished it now)

[dng]

rabid - early cronenberg film that i'd not seen for some reason. essentially the same as shivers, but also with soem lifeforce in there (in that the transmission vector for the zombi eplague is an often uneccessarily nude woman)

anyway it was good i liked it. lovely bleak 70s canada, sombre music (including one bit that sounded like some final fantasy 7 music) and a weirdly blank and empty central performance from the main bloke it it, which was probably just bad acting, but weirdly felt like the sort of realistic detached sort of nothingness that you'd probably actually display while driving round a canda on fire and covered in blood

[dng]

he does do some shouting, crying at the end but that wasn't as good

[dng]

for the absolute emotionless of all the rest though it reminded of th ewoman in assualt on precinct 13, who gives a similarly phenomenally flat performance while everyone else is overacting wildly

[dng]

also one of the women in this has absolutely the most amazing pair of glasses i've ever seen.

like i'm not even sure what's going on with the frame of them at all

double also: one of my friends used to have a really faded videotape of this on a shelf just outside his bedroom in some weird connecting corridor bit of their strange labyrinthine house, so the cover image makes me feel all nostalgic for being 16 again, which is always a slightly terrible occurrence when that happens

I didn't like Rabid very much which surprised me because I absolutely loved Shivers

[dng]

yeah, shivers is definitely better. i've never dared watch that again since the 90s because it was so horrifying

[blombluss]

Shivers scarred me. I am never watching that again!

[dng]

just watched Lotte Reiniger's version of Cinderella on YouTube and noticed afterwards that it is ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD. should such a fact be useful

https://youtu.be/poq0bf6M8Z8

I got around to watching this/reviewing this

[vom]

hooray, both to the write-up and to that other film which is indeed accidentally quite funny!

[blombluss]

and also thsi one

This film is a 124 years old: La Lune à un mètre (1898)

https://accumulationofthings.com/100/20 ... etre-1898/

I don't know why George Melies loved the moon so much, but I am glad he did.

[blombluss]

A nice write-up, Davuss!

[dng]

thank you

[vom]

excellent, I hadn't seen that one before. it is lovely

The Cameraman's Revenge (1912)

https://accumulationofthings.com/100/20 ... enge-1912/

Contains stop motion beetles and other fairly wonderful bafflements

[dng]

I'd never heard of this before but it was wonderful and now i want to watch all the other man's films

[blombluss]

A champion article, Davuss, although I had to stop watching the film on YT, as stop motion dead insects make me feel a little bit ikky.

I wonder if all the chap's other films utilise dead insects. I heop not.

[dng]

supposedly quite a few of them do

[blombluss]

I'd watch a stop motion dead insect version of 2001 - A Space Odyssey, though.

Two 100 year old felix the cat cartoons

https://accumulationofthings.com/100/20 ... back-1922/

[blombluss]

A lovely and instructive article, that, davuss, although I don't think you mean "1992", do you?

"who took over directing duties from Pat Sullivan/Otto Messmer in 1992"

Also: Felix The Cat cartrons = generally a bit meh, imo.

[dng]

I did not indeed. Corrected now. Cheers homfrus

[dng]

also it turns out she only produced the cartoons. so it wasn't very informative at all in the end.

[dng]

i've edited that now too

[blombluss]

I did not indeed. Corrected now. Cheers homfrus

No worries, Sir! I felt bad mentioning it, but I thought I ought to.

Sherlock Jr - wonderful buster keaton amazingness from the forbidden year of 1924

[dng]

i think the two other buster keaton films in this set are from 1926, a year even more forbidden and futuristic

[blombluss]

I don't remember the years 1924 and 1926 ever existing.

[vom]

homfrus is a 1925 truther

[Mrak]

I know someone from Twitter who likes old films. Especially buster Keaton. I might tell on you

[dng]

you should
