Girl Crazy is the interesting one, since most movie fans would probably better remember the Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland version.
Well, there's also all that two-strip Technicolor in the early W&W movies.
It doesn't share much in common plot or score-wise (since only a fraction of the score was retained) with the Gershwin play but it's still enjoyable. It also has uncredited choreography by Busby Berkeley.

They are really zombie alien vampires. Now do you like them?
They're still missing the extra three seconds of the intro from the British release though.

Liebe Dein Symptom wie Dich selbst! - This German documentary is about the Hegelian- Lacanian philosopher Zizek. In his interviews, he discusses American and European culture and the state of the world after the fall of the Yugoslav regime. He discusses everything from ethnic tensions in the Balkans and rumors about Yugoslav officials to Richard Wagner and Orpheus to American films like Get Shorty and To Die For ("a beautifully Brechtian film"). Worthwhile documentary on philosophy and psychoanalysis.

The People of YouTube.think people who judge these films are really longing for the late 40's-to-early 50's era, before government oppression reduced all of us to the level of intruders in Washington's nation.
+Lee Larson Lee I enjoy these classic movies because there is no sex or cursing compared to today's TV and movies. Ed
+Ed Fulmer Sr no cursing but, loads of violence, much of it against women. I'd rather have the cursing and of course, sex.
+William George --Grow up.
I agree . It looks nicer than what we have now! Doubt the government was full of open crooks like now!
you mean like Nixon
When police abused people with impunity because cell phones didn't exist to record them? Casual racism and bigotry? THAT era you miss???What movie comment section is this even from? "No cussing" certainly wouldn't be my greatest ringing praise of a movie.

His style was a bit brash, but I found him to be rather intelligent. If he was temporarily suspended, he'll resume posting.
He may have forgotten his password. He joined in 2011 but only started posting in 2018.

Perhaps he's back to using one of his other accounts.

Right, Gersh. Not everyone knows that Chaplin was a talented composer as well as actorl, comedian, and filmmaker.
But it's odd that that youtube clip from City Lights does not include the beautiful, haunting "Flower Girl" theme, my favourite piece of music from that lovely movie.
You're very right that "flower girl" is a very wonderful theme. Another one I like quite a bit is "smile" from Modern Times.

Chaplin composed so many great scores.

The silent version of King of Kings is coming on tonight and it reminded me of this one liner given by a film critic of the time - "saw the picture, loved the book."

To say that fans are fretful and agitated seems absurd. Article writer needs to get facts correct and stop over-dramatizing.
Seems written intentionally to stoke fear into the reader. As for the commercials, I don't mind them as long as they stay after/ before the movie. I don't even mind the wine ad much anymore.

I think Bette Davis was really overrated. She wasn't a good actress and was a bit homely. As for comedians, I think Joe E. Brown was just annoying with that odd laugh of his.

In the 1920's, there were 4 million members of the Ku Klux Klan and most were outside the South. I think Illinois had the most members at the time.
Ethnic tensions used to be much worse in Chicago/ Illinois during that time period. In the 1919 there was a major race riot in Chicago. It is often said that the young Mayor Daley (then only 17) had a hand in that even though he never officially acknowledged it.

"Misery loves company!"
Yep, THAT'S right. I think BD is one of those poor people who still seems "miserable" inside, and has been using her religious beliefs to fill something that missing within her.
(...sure, this sounds "harsh" I suppose, but THAT'S what I "believe", anyway...and unfortunately, I've seen this sort of thing WAY too damn much in my lifetime)
She definitely seems off her rocker.
Her husband must be nuts too to believe in all that "witchcraft" and "cauldrons" stuff.
