As today is National Silent Film Day, we have to post the trailer for one of our favorites, Limite, from 1931. It's incredible. Mário Peixoto directed this when he was in his early 20s, and yet, he had the touch of a master filmmaker. #NationalSilentFilmDay youtu.be/-YfncdKsAqs?...

Rest in power to Slinger Francisco, known to us all as The Mighty Sparrow ORTT CM OBE, who passed today at 91. Sparrow was The Calypso King of the World. Blessed with a stunning voice and immense lyrical talent, he boldly raised up social issues and shared history through song. youtu.be/_rVT93qkVAE

13 years ago today, I, a Hershey Bar named Generoso, married a crunchy jar of Skippy peanut butter named Lily at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee. We've lived happily ever since. Lily is the best human I've ever known and she also designed and sewed these ridiculous costumes together herself!

Halloween month is almost here, and we have to echo the sentiments below from @horrorposterguy1.bsky.social about our favorite Romero film, Martin! If you've not seen it, this is an ugly watch that makes sharp comments on addiction, class, and race that fit that era/region perfectly.

A fabulous review by Lindsay Pereira for @brokenfrontier.bsky.social of Mark Alan Stamaty's Who Needs Donuts?, a stunningly illustrated book from 1973 that I'm forever grateful that my hippie librarian in South Philly put on the shelves when I was a kid!

Rest in peace, Jeremy Thomas 💙 Back in 2008, my friend Michelle and I attended Thomas' Coolidge Award presentation. A brilliant producer who helmed The Last Emporer and Naked Lunch, we spoke with him after the event and he gave us advice as young filmmakers that we've kept with us ever since.

Rest in power, Tony Gatlif 💙 A long overdue thanks to Bo Smith at the MFA who programmed Gatlif's films during the 1990s. From Latcho Drom to Gadjo dilo to Je suis né d'une cigogne, Gatlif's films possessed a joyful energy and insight into a culture that was rarely depicted in a whole manner.
