(Sound on) My five-year-old is helping me take inventory.

Needs more Terry Pratchett.

I know you’re all eager for tonight’s #DoctorWho finale, but can we please dedicate the next few hours instead to this unreasonably funny moment from the missing 1964 serial “Marco Polo” in which the Doctor gets Ian’s name wrong?

The end of The Great Train Robbery (1903) still holds a quiet power today.

But it’s nowhere near as terrifying or confronting as the final shot of The Dancing Pig (1907).

Found the uncensored #MileyCyrus Wrecking Ball video. I can’t believe they cut the best part.

I love watching a music video of a timeless ‘80s or ‘90s love song, only to discover it’s an extremely timestamped tie-in to a blockbuster action movie.

I’m obsessed with this creepy 1890 footage, recorded in Edison Labs to test new Kinetoscope technology.

It feels like a long-dead person trying to warn us of something terrible. More befitting a message from the stars than from 135 years ago.
