Well, I looked at my other old threads again, like the 'Say something random every time you see this thread And the majority of my Batman related threads, I feel like a laughingstock.
The most common name in the world is Mohammed
I didn’t mean that kind of pointless. I know it’s an innuendo.
Shit.
The assimilation scene in Superman III.

A classic. though that actually didn’t scare me.
I watched Attack the Block when I was nine, it was the first MA15+ film I’d ever watched (that I can remember). It’s an action sci-fi film (I guess it has elements of horror) but it freaked the hell out of me at the time. One of my favourites now.
What exactly did the scary scenes contain?
This is the thread for unintentionally scary or intentionally scary scenes in non-horror films.
Please do not use any pictures, as you might trigger someone’s phobias or generally simply freak them out, so it is best you don’t use pictures, just describe them in detail. 😃
In 100 years time if “The New Thread Thread” wasn’t irrelevant anymore, and if there were new ones being made every once in a while, there would be “The New The New The New The New The New Thread Thread Thread Thread Thread Thread Thread”
(It’s just a joke, you do not need to take it seriously)
I remember a time when I first registered here, I made inappropriate threads and posts, but now I am mature enough to make sense! XD
Y’all may think me mad, but I like this hairstyle. It’s got this “chaos-yet-order” vibe going for it that really appeals to me.
For me it’s the 80s look about it.
Johnny got his gun has got to be one of the saddest films of all time. I’ve only seen clips of it, but man, it leaves its mark on you.
My favourite silent film’s probably Lon Chaney’s Phantom of the Opera.
Ending’s a tad weak, but Chaney’s brilliantly unnerving. And I just love the two-colour Technicolor sequences.
If I were to watch this, which version should I seek out?
Flicker Alley is a great site that puts silent classics on DVDs. They might have one there.
i just realised this is from Passion of Joan of Arc
For some reason, now when I see ‘Robots’ (2005), which IMO is very underrated, the character ‘Fender’ sounds like a Bender ripoff. They are only one letter seperate
It could be a makeup test or a publicity still. Alternate takes were probably not unusual even in the earliest days. Some silents were shot with two cameras side by side. Apparently done so two negatives of the film would be created. Work has been done to try and create a 3-D version of Phantom Of The Opera from the dual camera footage.
That is plausible
In the Lap of the Gods by Queen. I do admit it was kinda creepy hearing Freddie’s voice in a lower pitch.
Hmmm… But the Wikipedia image says screenshot, but it’s rather doubtful it’s a different frame. Not to mention there are stars visible in the frame. Also, regarding “a still from the set” I don’t think BTS photos were taken back then. Keep in mind this is 1902. And if it was simply a different image, where did it come from?
Has anyone noticed the iconic shot of the Man in the Moon seen in Georges Méliès’ Trip to the Moon is slightly different than the popular image? If so, why is it different? (The image seen in my avatar is the actual one seen in the film)
The actual shot is kind of gory. Stuff is running out of the Moon’s pierced eyeball! I don’t think that’s cheese…
Confirmed by the color version:
Compare that shot to this
His face is slightly different, his lips are different, and the blood is not really pouring, but rather splattered. Anyone have an explanation for this?

How do you feel about Origin? Is it awesome? Is it good? Is it bad? Is it trash?
As a service, it is better than it used to be but it is still inferior to Steam. Also, it’s annoying when a game bought on Steam requires Origin running to play the game.
I agree. I bought Sims 3 on Steam, but some things I believe required Origin, like the ‘SimPoints’ which is the currency used to buy cool stuff. I was quite upset, and it was one of the reasons I don’t play it much anymore.
Y’know, It just doesn’t really feel right for rock music to be the scores for silent films, I like symphonic scores better. Just wondering, why are rock music sometimes the scores?
Ah, Safety Last! another silent era classic!
Why did TV’s Frink get banned? I’m just curious
This thread will discuss all things silent films, films like the classics Le Voyage dans La Lune, and Metropolis.
And I don’t mean silent film inspired films, like The Artist, I mean Silent films.
Have fun!
