Life-long film buff. I might also be woke and antifa. I only know I couldn't support a twice-impeached liar, rapist, racist, mentally ill, incompetent, insurrectionist, convicted felon, mentioned in the Epstein files committing heinous acts with minors.

The movie was shot and scrapped and shot and scrapped. Almost everything had to be reshot in Culver City and Irving Thalberg assembled the final cut from his sickbed via a projector aimed at the ceiling.

The American production team in Italy shooting BEN-HUR in 1925 lost two Italian extras playing legionnaires during their ship battle scene (full-size boats, ramming speed, etc) Fearing they were dead and dreading blowback from Mussolini’s fascist government, the crew destroyed the extra’s clothes

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

Troy Jackson: "Sen. Collins says that she voted against it 9 times, but she didn't have the votes. Well, that sounds like then we probably ought to have Democrats in charge of the Senate so we have the votes to stop this war and hold Donald Trump in check. It sounds like Republicans won't do that."

Somebody hit in the face with a something not a fist.
In “Dutiful but Dumb” (1941) Curly gets hit in the face with fresh oyster soup. I figured a pie would have been... a bit on the nose?

This is going to be spreading around soon in the movie space, in all likelihood, and is a good example of a researcher knowing their stuff but the reporter making wild claims beyond what the expert said. Let's fact check! www.bbc.com/news/article...

bbc.comWas Scottish film Till the Bell Rings the first ever 'talkie'?In 1927, The Jazz Singer made movie history with the first recorded dialogue on film - but new evidence suggests the first feature talking film was Scottish.

🎶"Overture, curtain, lights!" Happy 66th #DebutDay (11 October 1960) to The Bugs Bunny Show! Originally in prime time, the show brought us theatrical Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies shorts with new linking material. It's how many kids got to know the WB cartoons!
