My Silent Film Star Cards

You like something, you want the whole world to know about it.. well, at least I do.
I've been filling the ears of everyone I know with information about silent films for the past few months, they are pretty damn sick of it but I don't care.

Besides watching dem films I also love some of the stars more than anything on earth and I've got the habit of collecting cards that represent them. I've put a lot of money into books and cards recently but I don't regret it at all.
Silent films have saved my life, I honestly don't think I'd be here at this moment if it wasn't for all these films that I've talked about in this blog. This spring has been rough on me and I've come close to quitting a few times.

So here's a tiny celebration of some of my favorites, in the form of postcards that I've managed to collect.

Check the photos, after the jump!

I felt like something had hit me.
It was these pictures :

I didn't stop to read his name or anything, just noted he had that certain something that very few people do. Then I went on reading the book but within minutes felt the irresistible urge to take a few more glimpses at that boy. I flipped back the pages and read out his name.
