Movie Review

Weirdos, green grass, Spanish hot dogs? This spot with Joan Crawford is supposed to be a promo for Pepsi, but all the talk about meat, God and rhubarb has got me confused. Man do I love Joan--Village Voice

This is what it sounds like when you show 5-year-olds a silent movie (I know this to be true)--Sound Cloud

Confessions of an old movie weirdo. I can relate--Cinematically Insane

An interview with Michael G. Ankerich, author of the fantastic new Mae Murray biography (which I reviewed). This is an interesting glimpse of the process of researching the book. I would recommend this biography to any class film fan, whether you know Murray or not.--Immortal Ephemera

Colleen Moore's final silent flick, thought to be lost, has been restored. It sounds like a lot of fun--Warner Archives

I love the idea of a movie set museum. What films would you pick? The post suggests Casablanca, which works for me. I'm also thinking My Man Godfrey, just about any Rogers and Astaire movie and Auntie Mame's kooky apartment--Mental Floss

How they made The Blob. I didn't realize somebody was still holding on to the original version. I wonder if it smells bad?--The Criterion Collection
