So, after watching Nuremberg 2025- (it's a little hit and miss but the good bits pop) I got pretty interested in the viewpoint character- Douglas M. Kelley, the psychiatrist tasked with determining whether or not the defendants were fit to stand for trial. Interest, piqued.

The Big Parade, 1925:
First half: kinda awkward, pretty dated romantic comedy that goes on for too long
Second half: the hardest hitting, most spectacular and realistic Great War battle scenes ever committed to film. Bar none, everything since is a shitty imitation.
The ending makes you cry.

On the Bernays pretty hard rn. He's also why women started smoking and men started to see cars as symbols of sexual power.

If you want to get anywhere in the battle for public opinion, or just want to know how many of your opinions are actually your own, give this breezy (well, chilling) tome a read.

Prohibition funny:
A man buys a case of hooch. As is the practice, he sends a sample to a friendly doctor to make sure it's uncontaminated.
Doctor calls him back; "I'm sorry to tell you, son, but your horse has diabetes."

Lillian Gish and other silent film veterans described the coming of the talkies as a tremendous loss.
The loss first of a distinct artform and second of a universal language of pictures and music; something the entire world shared in as one.
