	The Milky Way (1940) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		I had not seen this short before, and it is an overlooked gem.
		The short is based on the nursery rhyme about the three little kittens who lost their mittens.
		Walt Disney won the Oscar for Short Subject (Cartoon) for the first eight years it was awarded (1932-39); this cartoon broke his streak and is clearly one of the best cartoons of the era.

		The film questions why these people broke down while other did not, why was mental collapse their refuge from their traumas, and whether Israeli society had any role in their states by socially rejecting them after they immigrated.
		This film was broadcast on May 7, 1985 in the U.S. as part of the PBS Frontline series.
		Film was used by Jerome Robbins during the development of Fiddler on the Roof.

	Classic Film Guide
		Well, films which are perhaps not as well known as the ones which receive recognition from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), or other such organizations.
		For instance, there were a lot of films made during the studio system years known as "B" pictures.
		Additionally, I started adding films to this list which were either not in Leonard Maltin's guide or for which there were no external reviews provided on imdb.com (or both!).

		Though the films gathered here are sub-par in relation to the rest of the Marx canon, the studio demonstrates real grace in giving the films honourable transfers and collecting them in an affordable, attractive way.
		Rudolf Ising's 1940 MGM cartoon The Milky Way (8 mins.) is both a second-rate nursery rhyme (kittens who lost their mittens) and a bald rip-off of Disney's Silly Symphonies--which were, by that time, at the peak of their creativity.
		When structure is imposed on their vignette-based way of thinking, it only serves to distract, and frankly, there's not enough room in there for both the genius and the chaff.

	Go West (1940)
		There seems to be enough room for this short movie, and the extras, on this layer.
		The shorts included with this movie are all from the same year (1940) — it's easy to imagine (if you are old enough) the shorts being screened before the film.
		Both show about the same level of film artefacts, including the reel change markings (The R1's first reel change marks come at 19:49, again fitting with this being the same or similar screen print).

	Making Happy: May 2003 Archives
		I downloaded a manual for the Brownie Target Six-20 and discovered that two little pull-out bits of metal that I thought were for opening and closing the camera are actually a time lever and a lens opening slide.
		The only problem with this camera is the hassle of shaving the reel, which isn't much of a hassle when you compare it to the people who re-roll the film onto a 620 reel and then roll it BACK onto a 120 reel for processing.
		It takes 620 film but the camera is in good shape with a strong shutter and no rust inside.

		Surprising observations of a star swiftly orbiting the cloudy heart of the Milky Way Galaxy have verified with near certainty the existence of a central fl hole, a theoretical object that still eludes direct detection.
		Viewed from the background frame, the "moving film" of matter ought to appear mass-dilated, and therefore ought to have a greater gravitational effect, producing an increase in the extent of the event horizon.
		The idea of being able to treat a non-rotating fl hole as either a point-singularity or a hollow infinitely-thin film is a consequence of the result that the actual mass-distribution is a "null" property for a fl hole, as long as it is spherically symmetrical.

	CI5472 Teaching Film, Television, and Media
		Another basic approach to studying film technique is to analyze changes in the uses of technique from an historical perspective, focusing on the ways in which innovations in film, video, and digital technology resulted in new types of techniques over the past one-hundred years.
		One of the central developments in film history was the “silent movie” era featuring major figures such as D.
		During the 1960s and early 1970s the industry reacted by creating films with innovative, novel, highly realistic material that would not be suitable for network television, leading to what is referred to as the “golden age” of American films epitomized by Godfather I and II.

		He had already projected quite useful films onto a wall in his factory, but rather than producing a viewing system for the general public he came up with a machine in which reels of celluloid were not unrolled but stretched over a set of wheels that passed in front of a viewing window.
		The film's motif was based on the lightning or quick sketch routine from vaudeville where a drawing is done in front of an audience.
		It was shown as a film in the theaters and also as a multi media event on stage with McCay interacting with the animated Gertie.

		This group is dedicated to discussing film as art from an auteurist perspective.
		In the film plot it has virtually wrecked his marriage; in the allegory male chauvinism is something that could wreck Democracy.
		Another way of looking at this scene is to suggest there is a sinister affinity between Democracy and Communism, a temptation that Communism holds out to Democracies; something that Stallone can feel, disapprove of, control with an effort of will and morality, but not altogether suppress.

		The film also includes some very stale dialogue and preposterous and careless plotting, as though everyone concerned had done it all before, too many times.
		The opening scene is a classic, as is the final third or so of the film, the efforts first to stop the train they're all on and then to refuel it, in the process destroying much of the train.
		That character should have stayed knocked out for the entire film so he wouldn't have kept popping up to sing yet another dull annoying song just when things were going pretty good.

	dOc DVD Review: Go West / The Big Store (1940 / 1941)
		As for the aforementioned train ride, it comes very close to redeeming a poor middle act (including creative contributions from an uncredited Buster Keaton, who just had to be the mastermind behind the hilarious final shot of the sequence), however, it ultimately goes on much too long.
		I'll put it this way: When Groucho subdues one of the train engineers and breaks the fourth wall to say to those watching, "This is the best gag in the picture", I'm almost 100% in agreement with him.
		Despite formulaic moments (and their own misgivings about the film in retrospect), The Big Store is an enjoyable 80 minutes of fun that just speeds by.

	Robert Benchley's Hollywood Short Subjects (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The picture quality of the shorts is generally good, although some of them were transferred from re-issue prints, and so lack the original titles.
		The two shorts from 1928 are interesting for their historical significance (and for preserving two of Benchley's best known routines), but the print for The Treasurer's Report has specks of lint in it which obscure the picture for at least half of its 10 minute running time.
		The movie gods were in a generous mood when they paired William Powell and Myrna Loy as Nick and Nora Charles, the upper-class sophisticates whose sleuthing escapades somehow joined the classic form of the whodunit with the giddyup of screwball comedy.
