Robert Sharp @robertsharp.bsky.social · 10/12/2025But I’d say that stops being possible in the mid noughties and only the actor’s ageing face can date it. Something to do with CGI and the abandonment of celluloid for digital? 100
Robert Sharp @robertsharp.bsky.social · 10/12/2025From the dawn of cinema, there were sufficient innovations in film stock, editing, cinematography and special effects that one can pretty accurately date a film as 50s, 60s, 70s, etc. 110

Robert Sharp @robertsharp.bsky.social · 17/09/2025What is also galling is that everyone else in that room knows how lacking he is. You can see their distain, their exasperation in their eyes and their body language. And yet in the privacy of the castle there is no little boy to shout out that the Emperor has no clothes. It is a tragedy and a farce 010
