I never laugh because I have no CPU. No soul. I mean I have no soul.

Re: I've been a cinephile for 10 years

I've been a cinephile for way too long and I've seen way too many movies.

I'm starting another film. Bye.

Re: I’ve missed everyone here

Wait, you were gone?

I'm not very active here, but I'm online nearly every day nevertheless.

I just don't read all new posts, is all.

Either way, welcome back, and so on.

Huh? I've seen both Ples v dezju and Last Year In Marienbad and while Ples v dezju is very good, it's nowhere near the masterwork of Alain Resnais.

Berlin Alexanderplatz is a movie, too, so whatever. Marvel films are films, of course. But if we count them as films, then so we should Les Vampires. I'm for a liberal definition of film. ;)

I watched most of these shorts as an adult! And yes, an awful lot of cartoons and early silents!

I thought some more about the issue of altering old art, and there's a completely non-political side to it: AI-enhanced early silents.
