Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library | Timeless Library conservators recently made a startling discovery in a batch of decaying film reels -- a long-lost 1897 film by early cinema icon George Méliès. The French magician-turned-filmmaker's

How cool is this?

Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library of Congress: not "seen by anyone in likely more than a century"
He pioneered jump cuts, double exposure, black screens, forced perspective

Watch it here:

Got a laugh out of this. The accompanying text is "Draft of the 1921 Anglo-Irish Treaty, with "British Empire" crossed out and "British Commonwealth of Nations" added by hand."

I remember way back when Disney acquired Fox and there were actual adults who thought they were going to make crossovers.

They just fire everybody at the studio and forget about 99% of the IPs!

Sonic and Scorpion are playing chess, but with no pieces. This happens despite the next table over clearly having chess pieces on the board.

"We don't want this to be a Graceland" is a nonsense thing to say when you want to launder somebody's reputation and vastly improve their image stock. Pretty much every presidential library, especially Nixon's, acts like this.

Comics use to suffer from this in a much worse way. All of the scalpers moved on to video games.

I guess I do have to thank them for making me buy $1 comics rather than Marvel/DC because that is where the great stuff is.

Nintendo was able to achieve market dominance yet again by following the crazy business strategy of making a console that can play games and developing games to accompany it.

Just keep the car on an even keel, engineer, and look straight ahead.

This is the only coup(e) Dick Tracy supports*

Limited to 1960s-1970s. All other Tracy variants post-1970s will arrest you. All pre-1960s will shoot.

The only thing I want from an Ico remake is for it to change the timing of the water pump puzzle. Only flaw in the game.

Crashing one steamboat, let alone multiple ones, must feel great because those things go 10 mph.

North American and international covers for Ico

North American and international covers for Ico

Left is American and right is international

They had no time to make box art for the American release so they just quickly made one of the worst covers

The international cover is based on the art of Giorgio de Chirico

My family once stopped at a KFC in an area where the guy in charge of restocking the franchises just quit all of a sudden and didn't schedule any more stuff.

There were mashed potatoes and nothing else at this KFC

I would have probably walked out of Rise of Skywalker before the movie was over if I saw it in theaters.
