No, you'd be more popular if you'd finally figure out how to turn off CAPS LOCK.

Roundhay Garden Scene lacks diversity and the CGI looks dated. Needs to be cancelled. Not to mention that plot has been done to death.

Probably Birth of a Nation (1915)

reply

[–] sslssg (27744) 4 years ago

Probably Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902)

Full length film would be Metropolis

reply

[–] AndyKing1967 (33845) 4 years ago

I forgot about this - yes, I have seen it too.

Birth of a Nation (1915)

I didn't really care for it.

reply

[–] AmeriGirl26 (12299) 4 years ago

I saw it too, and it was crap. I didn't even understand what was going on until someone explained it to me.

reply

[–] [deleted] 4 years ago

It is difficult to follow, not to mention extremely boring, it just goes on and on.

Also, the racism! None of that shit would fly today, rightly so.

reply

[–] AmeriGirl26 (12299) 4 years ago

Plus, I would spit on the KKK for even showing their faces, never mind attempting to "save America." Rolls eyes.
