@kinopolis.bsky.socialWilliam S. Hart burns the place to the ground as the antihero of HELL'S HINGES (1916). There is a notion that westerns started spangly and grew grittier as time passed but that was not the case and Hart's vision of the west was the most biblically violent of the very grim and gritty 1910s.
Show PostMy favorite Hollywood genre is "movies set in highly charged political and/or religious conflicts that somehow manage to avoid discussing religion or politics" The ASHES OF VENGEANCE, set during the French Wars of Religion. At no point is religion ever brought into it.
Show PostI'm sick of television looking cinematic. Give them the best writers, the best actors, and a budget of seventeen cents plus whatever lint they have in their pockets. In short, I want 1970s BBC literary adaptations.
