Neither of those French f***s were doing s*** yet so

yea don't think he necessarily saw it coming but his boner for Marlene made him do the right thing when it comes to his career.

Do you mean embracing sound pictures with her in Hollywood? And to be fair she did bang him one time

yup

I think I've seen Last Command like six times now but my rewatch last week was still Sternberg definitely amongst my most rewatchable directors

She is pure ridiculousness if even 1/10th of her reported romances are real

QUEEN

Olga Baclanova wild actress in a trilogy of classics with Man Who Laughs, Docks Of New York and Freaks. Wonder if she has more

Never seen anything from 1928

Remember yesterday when you told me Joan is one of your top 5 all time

Could have sworn that was 27

Last year was dominated by Sunrise which is just as good

Also Metropolis

spicy Harold in Speedy didnt know they had the finger back then

Where should i start with him

i'd say paris nous appartient or la religieuse. the latter is probably the easiest rivette watch but none of his films are similar to that one

English subs readily available for the first or nah?

yah

The Circus was great despite all the s*** Chaplin had going on that year really bittersweet ending too

almost a year in and not a decade finished elric style

Dang it's about the journey not the destination

Rewatching the Crowd and getting deja vu Lonesome, Speedy and Sunrise has such similar carnival scenes lol
