Classic Movies Posted by KC on Mar 15, 2010

Saturday Morning Cartoon: Finding His Voice (1929)
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Mar 13, 2010
In this early sound cartoon, Talkie helps Mutey enter the wonderful world of singing and talking movies. Though it's played for laughs, this is actually a very technical 'toon. Mutey reminds me a lot of Kenny from South Park. read more

TV Tuesday: John Wayne, Cigarettes, and Cancer
Classic Movies Posted by KC on Mar 9, 2010
So many classic Hollywood stars shilled for cigarettes, and then later found themselves dying from using the very producted they promoted. This pair of John Wayne spots is a poignant example of the way perceptions changed. Here he promotes a cigarette brand in 1952:

It always seems as though she is just an ordinary woman, wandering around singing happily to herself--and the cameras just happen to be there. Here she sings My Heart's Desire in Adorable (1933 read more
