Watching the 1954 series: The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.

It is pretty fun. I found it on archive.org. It has 39 episodes which are each around half an hour long.

The actors play the characters very good and the episodes are pretty good in terms of story and visual quality (good rip).

The actors haven't been in anything else of note.

Watched Tron for the first time in a while the other day. The cinematography stands up to today's standards well in my opinion. The beginning of using CGI in storytelling. And even the real world shots looked clean and nice. Probably Disney remastering work at its best.

The thing that really shows though is how people congrated together back then. The busy arcade and people watching a man on a game standing right there behind him. The original Game Streaming... But live as if it were an event onto itself.

I remember Arcades, of course I don't remember getting to go that often and such. I also don't remember anyone caring about me getting my ass kicked at Killer Instinct. But it was a place to go and be around people.

I also found it interesting that in a way it becomes a story about a man meeting his God, and finding out God is just as fallible as he is.

I will be watching Legacy again soon, which while a sequel is really a different tone of film. But I liked it and want to see it before Ares comes out later this year.

Ever watch/listen to something when you were a small child and now can't remember exactly what it was? This photo reminds me of a scene from an '80s/'90s film (I would've viewed it around 1992-94 or so), where two pre-teen boys are walking around a very small arched pedestrian bridge on a cloudy day in what looks to be the English countryside(?) One of them is your average schoolboy (think Bastian Bux from The Neverending Story), and the other seems to be carrying a basketball-sized bright, glowing orb of some sort. I swear I remember the second boy casually hanging upside down by his legs from the bridge while chatting with the first. Maybe it was a kind of first meeting scene for the two of them, though it's hard to say. Anyway, this photo—while of a *much* larger bridge (theirs was about 30 feet/9 meters in length over a very small stream)—reminds me of that scene, and it's the only one I remember from the film. How I long to see it again 🎞️

Burnside Bridge stretches across the Willamette River overhead, viewed from the floating pedestrian paths of the Willamette Greenway/Eastbank Esplanade on a cloudy afternoon.

Do you want to watch a 1940s propaganda film for free markets, atomised individuality, and libertarianism?

Interesting juxtaposition of everyday life, revolution, and state violence in an early 20th-century short by film pioneer Alice Guy. Gender, class, and respectability also figure in this tale, which features a nonchalant summary execution.

Director Carol Reed and cinematographer Robert Krasker meet for the first time in the phychologically intense and visually stunning film noir Odd Man Out (1947).

An absolute bonus for the film, James Mason's soulful performance as the hunted IRA revolutionary Johnny McQueen.
