scifirenegadeThey found a whole episode of Suncoast Digest featuring Christine Chubbuck! Months ago, but still.
YouTube link here, the original upload is also in the description.
Like how many people only remember Van Gogh by the ear incident, people only remember Chubbuck by her last appearance on television (search for it at your own risk). It saddens me, she truly was passionate about journalism, and hated how sensationalist it got. I'm glad there are others out there who see her as a human being. It's all about compassion.
On a nicer, more comical note, on Christmas Eve, I rewatched The Passing of the Third Floor Back, which is always a heartwarming thing to do, albeit bittersweet.
I also rewatched Escape, because I thought the Oberaertz I was wriring in my Very Indulgent Thing was a bit too Von Kolb-ey. And I was right, he feels very Von Kolb-ey. Terrifying.
Also I had to stop to do something, and came back to this.
Truly the most eyebrow to ever eyebrow.
(Learnt that Cukor did some uncredited work here too. Maybe he should've directed the whole film.)
Yesterday, I found Conrad Veidt: My Life in random Russian site. Very Windows Movie Maker. Also, My Life my arse, it's random opinions about films and mostly random opinions about people. The narrator is doing the worst German accent (get it, 'cause it's Connie telling the story hahaha).
I knew it was gonna be bad, since I read chiaroscuros' thoughts, but gee. Nobody really knows how to do a decent biographical work on Herr Veidt??
(Apparently that 80s German documentary is factually decent, and very well written, with lots of lyrical word usage. I don't know.)
I have yet to snoop the Yuletide entries. I have to snoop a lot of exchange entries this year.
