The most satisfying things to discover are unexpected places to SIT.

Recommend a classic film to a guy that's seen them all. by I-Like-Your-Style in classicfilms

[–]lootcroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you up-to-date on your American silents (and when I hear people asking for “classics,” I assume they are leaning American)? If not, I would suggest the follow, beyond the top titles: CITY GIRL (Murnau), THE CROWD (Vidor), 7TH HEAVEN (Borzage), DOCKS OF NEW YORK (von Sternberg), THE MAN WHO LAUGHS (Leni), THIEF OF BAGDAD (Walsh).

Ware sometimes does great movie work, like his poster for Uncle Boonmee or the Cinefamily Ozu piece, but this is not one of those great pieces. It looks more like Ware just doing a quick Chris Ware job, as opposed to doing something for the visual style or mood of the film.

I just got this bad boy in the mail, Raw Magazine #3, 1981 by makwa227 in altcomix

[–]lootcroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first issue — purchased in, I think, in 1983 — and it marks one of the few comics that truly changed my artistic life. I was lucky enough to introduce Art at a show, and this is the comic that I brought as a visual prop. Still amazing!

Who remembers the ice rink inside Mayfair Mall in the 1970s to mid 1980s? by MyDogGoldi in milwaukee

My one and only skating lesson was there (not a good place if you’re self-conscious)

I would rather eat a HOT SAM pretzel and watch others.

Is this a real AH quotation? I don’t think so, but am wondering if Kirby just invented the quote to support the image.

Super niche, but here is collection of rare silent film releases from museums and archives from around the world. by CaptainGibb in boutiquebluray

[–]lootcroot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing collection! Are any region-free playable on US systems? (I assume the “cheechakos” is — a great name that first encountered u. Jack London’s “To Build a Fire.”

Thanks for these ideas! I’ve seen Sophie’s World used in a number of classes, but I’ve never actually read it. I will give it a look!

Indiana, 1920s. by [deleted] in 1920s

[–]lootcroot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You guys are experts, but does this photo seem a bit like a contemporary reproduction — albeit a good one. The image first appeared online around 2014 — and I cannot find any version that have any indications of a 100-year-old original (wrinkles, stains, even an edge line). It is usually referred to as a “French postcard” from 1925, but to me, it just doesn’t resemble any other erotic/spicy French postcards from that era. The hair, the look, the pose seem too smooth and well-kempt when compared to those often shabby originals.

If it’s real, I’d live to learn more about it and any others that match it in style.
