scifirenegadeWas thinking that, for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
3weeks4dreamwidth, I should host ficathons over at my communities. All three of them. Oop.
Under the cut, there's some art.
An experiment. Think it could be done better.
Things for no one: Todd from Mario and Tod von Unheimliche Geschichten. Todd from Mario is a character from comedy-art YouTube channel Drawfee, btw.
Because I bet Roger of Judex would let the dog smoke!
And now for some interesting links:
Scripts from the Crypt #19: Der Januskopf (1920), Apparently a full script of Der Januskopf was found, but whoever found it has been sitting on it for months. Hoping they actually get to release it to us peasants. I shall refrain from complaining about these guys' "amazing" opinions.
How missing episodes from ‘The Daleks' Master Plan’ were found, an interview with Sue Malden, former BBC archivist.
TCM's Classic Film Festival (2026) will premiere a new restoration of Letty Lynton, the "forbidden illegal", as the hotvintagemod on Tumblr put it, Joan Crawford movie. At this point, I should just embrace I quite like her work. Johnny Guitar was the last one I saw and it was mesmerising.
Ivor Novello: A Story of the London Fog, a very short article, but Michael Williams wrote an entire book about Novello, his movies and his persona (plus him being a gay icon, which at the time was largely ignored, and without a doubt some today still make an effort to straightwash him). Good little intro and a taster.
In other news, I'm becoming obsessed with The Rat trilogy. Why do I think it's slowly becoming a commentary on Novello's fame and how the critics, erhm, critisised him for being too pretty (and not of the marrying kind)?

Date: 21 Apr 2026 14:27 (UTC)I'm glad you're enjoying The Rat films! And in hopefully better quality than the ones I saw.
I've read James Harding's biog of Ivor Novello, but I can't remember much about it!
Johnny Guitar is great! Title is a bit misleading, lol.
