Well, of course there's going to be good and bad with any era. Take the present for example. We're at war now. The gas prices are ridiculous, the cost of living is going up and the salaries are going down, it's sort of like today's version of the depression. We may not look at it as such because...
I suppose there is a little bit of comfort in being able to pick and choose what parts of the past to enjoy. I was recently asked by someone if I was excited over the emerging trend in present-day Hollywood of stars dressing like it's the 30's and 40's. I can honestly say I'm not excited about...
Yep! They're a bit difficult to track down, mainly due to their scarcity...but I'm getting them little by little :) I'll soon have "A Girl in Every Port", the film Leila did with Louise Brooks
The History Channel recently ran a flurry of shows on Hitler, including one about his relatives that he tried to hide from public knowledge. Anyone catch those?
Thanks Amy!!!!! :)
Coincidentally, Way Out West will be on TCM next month in June.
I'm managed to obtain these films of Leila's:
Dancing Mothers (1926)
Spite Marriage (1929)
The Bishop Murder Case (1930)
The Big House (1930)
The Flirting Widow (1930)
The Sins of the Children (1930)...
I'm petitioning MGM and WB to release the Leila Hyams films in their catalog on DVD. I'd be VERY grateful if you guys would take a second to sign this petition (it only takes a second!!), and forward the link to as MANY people as you can! I REALLY appreciate it!!! Click the photo below to sign!
Well I had a discussion with someone about that. Would you rather live then or now? Remember, if you lived then, you wouldn't know what you'd be missing because it wouldn't have been invented yet. It's like someone in 2070 saying they could never live in 2007 because cars didn't fly. Yet, we...
I'm not even sure what to call it Nick, but it feels like much more than an "interest". It's like a gravitation....as if something inside reaches back. I know it sounds a little odd.
Obviously we all feel some sort of connection to the past. I'm just wondering if I'm alone in how deep mine goes. Does anyone ever feel actual "melancholy" over not being around then? I have to admit, sometimes when I watch the movies of the 30s or 40s, or see photographs, hear the music, etc...
Hello everyone!
I haven't been on here in a LONG time but I've never forgotten about this place! I've been so busy over the past months that I've hardly had time for anything but my projects. Just to update everyone as to what's been going on with me:
As you know, I run The Midnight Palace...
Honestly I think the reason that most people have limited imaginations, is because they've been "boxed" into living a certain way by society. The widely accepted routine is to get up, go to work, come home, eat, television, bed. That seems normal. But, society works around what it doesn't...
