Buster Keaton and James Stewart in one post?

Is fandom secrets trying to kill me from the awesome????

Also, about #148 - I have great love for movies. When I find someone I'll be greatly disappointed if they aren't a fan of the classics and/or Bollywood.

And I gotta mention that I have a framed poster of It's A Wonderful Life on my wall over my bed.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington on the left, It's a Wonderful Life on the right, and Nosferatu in the middle.

James Stewart ♥

I know seeing Jimmy and Buster in one post almost floored me.

My love for movies is pretty intense, people know that I love to watch and more importantly share them. I do understand though when people don't like them. It took me a while to get used to older movies until I actually gave them a chance.

What was the first silent movie you ever saw? I know it can be hard to remember...

Mine was Wild Orchids with Garbo, back in 1988. :D I devoured every silent I could find, even all the blurry, Library of Congress paper prints of the old Biograph movies from 1905-1910. Loved loved LOVED them! To this day I still madly crush on Robert Harron and the other fellows in D. W. Griffith's old stock company of players. *le sigh*

A Mabel Normand flick: "Mabel's Blunder" was one of the first I ever saw.

I feel like there's something very human about watching these people on the screen, even when it's overblown and they act overly dramatic, even though they move their lips to speak and you can't hear them, it somehow all feels a lot more personal.

Robert Harron? I gotta check him out.

I love the Keystone movies and The Bangville Police is one of my favorites. Mabel parodies the "Griffith damsel in distress" perfectly!

And silent movies are fun to watch if you are a bit adept at reading lips. Sometimes what they say is completely NOT what the intertitles say, like "What Price Glory?" Edmund Lowe and Victor McLaglen's lips are saying, "You goddamn sonofabitch!" and the title card says, "You stink worse than a skunk" or something like that. XD

If you can sit through all of "Intolerance," Harron plays the hero in the modern story. Both he and Mae Marsh are brilliant. Poor Bobby - he had a tragic end and it's still unclear if it was an accident or suicide. :(

I'll constantly rewind to see if I can figure out what they're mouthing, and now I know what movie I'm watching next.

Do people find it tough to sit through Intolerance or is it just a long movie? I try to get people to watch Lang movies, but the premise of his movies scare some off.

Would you mind if I popped over to your journal and clicked a little button that said "Add as Friend"?

Re: Intolerance. Well, there are 4 stories and it's constantly cross-cutting between them. It confused them then, and while it doesn't confuse audiences so much now, it's a bit jarring and a couple of the stories are either dull or badly acted (the Jesus one & the Huguenot story, in particular). The Babylon segment is very impressive in a DeMille way, though some of the acting is, er, lacking. There is a longer version of the Modern Story (the one with Harron & Marsh) called The Mother and the Law, that was released as a movie unto itself back in 1919 or so. Griffith tried to salvage what he could from it to make some extra $$$.

I love Fritz Lang! Most partial to Dr. Mabuse.

Sure! I'll friend you back!
