Scifirenegade's Trash Can

In which Erik came to me in a dream like this. I shall not elaborate what happened next.



I honestly have no idea. You eat those chips, Andersen. Clayton won't resist for long, I bet.



Another year, another slutty Marquis. The background was done in oil pastel (it looks like crayon but shhh) and the man himself was drawn digitally, then printed. He can be held!



I cry because Satanas (1920) is lost. I cope by stealing Doré's Paradise Lost illustrations and drawing Connie in them. It's also the happiest I've been with my art in a long time.



Aaaaand Rarest of Rarepairs had a lingerie prompt. I still can't draw Valerie Hobson, so she's pulling a Deborah. Work the stocking's Captain o7

As always, very tired and down. I am, however, in tears, because Fátima Opera Rock. Just... Wow...

I'm just surprised it's a thing. Portugal is extremely catholic, I wonder what the reception will be. (My mother thought Jesus Christ Superstar was blasphemy o_o)

Forgot to share. For the occasion of William Russell's 100th birthday!



Because he did play Mr. Rochester in a stage production of Jane Eyre! All the pics suck, so artistic liberties were taken.

I miss him.

I haven't progressed in the Veidtwatch much. Not because I'm tired of him (oh never; if that happens, consider that my evil mirror self has killed me and took my place). It's just... people... they drain me...

Screw that, look at this! Gigantic Conrad Veidt film cycle! In 2018. Sigh.

It's 30+ films that range from easy to find to "you have to ask the right people to get it" (alas, Dida Ibsen and Christian Wahnschaffe are stuck in archive hell, and therefore unavailable to us mere mortals). The first film shown was Ich und die Kaiserin even!

You bet I would skip all my exams and rob a bank haha just kidding to be there. If I knew about it. No wonder no one told me, I would've been even more insufferable lol

Didn't do very well, apparently, that's a shame.

Here's the programme in PDF. Warning: Veidt Stare (TM).

Since 1 January 2019, the Film Heritage Funding Programme (FFE) of the BKM, the federal states and the FFA has been providing up to 10 million euros annually for the digitisation of cinema films for a period of ten years.

For the feature-length fiction and documentary films in this funding programme, filmportal.de is providing the respective film beginnings. An overview of all funded films on filmportal.de can be found here.

Further information can be found at www.ffa.de

Another thing to turn me into an insufferable bastard that makes people complain when I'm not looking probs.

HD digitalisations! So shiny and HD! Sadly, we only get clips...

Films that tickle my fancy for obvious reasons:

• Der Reigen (1920) starring the great Asta Nielsen! There are thirty minutes of the film on YouTube in very nice quality (conpared to the Internet Archive one; it's a full copy, but it's smudged).


• Der Mann, der den Mord beging (1931), which I haven't seen yet (saving it for the end). It's night and day. Or it would be if...


• Der Schwarze Husar (1932) wasn't digitised. Holy.


• Ich und die Kaiserin (1933) also got the same treatmemt. Please Murnau Institute, give us the Blu-Ray!

There's also clips for Alraune and Ariane, which also caught my eye.

EDIT: Dürfen wir schweigen? (1926) and Die Letzte Kompagnie (1930) have also been digitised. And what in the world is Das Kabinett des Dr. Larifari??

For the past two weeks I've been writing, in a fugue state, what can only be described as "weird Oberaertz thing". Very self-indulgent. Also almost 2k words long and I'm still in the beginning. If people are allowed write their self-indulgences, so can I!

Lots of pictures ahead and cuts ahead.

Chroma, one of my demons guys.

For the Primary Colours square on my Gen Prompt Bingo card (round 25).

Maybe my art slump has gone away, who knows?
