Combine Jules Verne and Georges Melies, and you've got a French combination that just can't lose!

Color in Silent Movies

"Black and white silent movie" is a misnomer as most silent movies had some form of color.

Hand-color: Every frame painted by hand with tiny brushes. Inherited from magic lantern shows.

Jake Crapper is only a symptom, not the disease. The disease is CNN desperately trying to re-capture their 'both sides' mojo, in pursuit of the mythical 'moderate Republican viewer' unicorn. They want another 'but her emails' story.

It was an awesome movie! I'm just sorry they made Eric change his name in order to get the part.

One of my favorites. Although, like most people, I prefer 'A Trip To The Moon.'
Georges Méliès unsuccessfully battles a wicked fairy in THE KINGDOM OF THE FAIRIES (1903), one of his most elaborate fantasies to date, featuring hand-applied color and a bespoke musical score.

A few months ago when somebody said Hegseth wasn't qualified for the job, Susie Wiles snapped "That's what the Staff is for!"
So, what about when the entire staff has either quit or been fired?

A #squirrel gets gently brushed and clearly enjoys it.
When the scratching stops, it taps for more. This reaction is common in #mammals, as grooming and gentle touch can trigger calming responses and even release endorphins.

So, he puts a 140% tariff on China, exempts everything China sells to the USA, and then declares 'victory' in the trade war. Pure Kabuki theater. But it tracks with his whole career.

Gosh. Maybe Trump should sign an Executive Order forbidding Japan to dump their Bonds? (Seriously, I'm sure that was his first suggestion.)

I had a friend whose dad literally had a whiskey flask hidden in his office bookshelf. Inside a fake book.
