15 February 2026 17:37I have not been a good blogger. Been distracted by
small_fandoms's Drabblethon (will collect all drabbles and post them all together soon-ish) and by general sadness.
Please, enjoy my friend's Conrad Veidt biography, plus this little thing they wrote about Liebe macht blind. It is, in my humble opinion, the most complete and properly sourced bio on Herr Veidt on the 'net (the Liebe macht blind link has a YouTube video with the live music when the movie was shown in Cine Recobrado; silent film tunes to jam to). Why yes, we are manifesting the movie's release, dammit!
Movies Silently has a review for The Girl in Tails (1926) and it seems right up my alley. Meanwhile, Classic Film and TV Corner has a review for Shooting Stars (1928), which also seems like my jam.
It's a shame to see the Internet Archive fully embrace artificial intelligence, but I've been following Brewster for a while, so it's not surprising. Techbros, istg...
Still making my way through Tih-Minh, Édouard Mathé showed up! Judex and Roger together again *sparkles* Still haven't found the will to rewatch Stromboli (English version, aka the best version).

The Girl in Tails sounds good:)
I was amused that Mathe's character is a super dynamic British MP, not realistic, lol.
