I have not been a good blogger. Been distracted by [community profile] 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).

Oh, cool! Strength to your manifestation.

Not cool!

(Nice to hear from you, though.)

I'm glad to hear about the drabbles, but not about the sadness! I hope things get better! *hugs*

Trying to cure it with a healthy dose of "watching the same movies over and over again"

So relatable! I do the same thing!

Lots of nice reading and keep manifesting!

The Girl in Tails sounds good:)

I was amused that Mathe's character is a super dynamic British MP, not realistic, lol.
