I wish today’s showing of THE WIND was online with the other great offerings. It was truly great to see these films with live accompaniment. Thanks HippFest!

Surprised me, too.

@ralphkeen.bsky.social you and May might get a kick out of this.

I'll let you tell us if you consider the legal reasoning to be sound, but I thought the idea of discussing the character of Zorro in a legal Order, including mentioning Fairbanks' 1920 portrayal of Zorro, to be an unexpected tribute!

It's been crazy busy but I'm now ready to enjoy a quiet Christmas with Pollie (a 3 month old Labrador-cross puppy I adopted) and my two twin cats, Robert & Douglas, named for my father & uncle, since the two brother kitties are as inseparable as my Uncle Douglas was from my Dad, Robert Fairbanks. 🎄🤶

Agreed. He’s a psychopath that with a vague conscience hurts people who don’t look like him: white, male, privileged.

Thanks for keeping silent film alive! 🎥🎬🎞️

You’ve never read The Outsiders? I think I found it when I (speaking as Kelley, Letitia’s niece) found it in ~1972-23 when it was first published. I was in JHS and rapt with attention at the riveting and true stories of what it was like to be ‘out’ of the ‘in’ crowd in any HS.
