Veidt's Opium




Hello Clarice!

I wish I could indeed go to Tucson to catch a glimpse of that Opium VHS. I'd probably steal it, ha ha. Good thing I live in Europe and don't have the funds for travel at the moment.

Perhaps there's a digital transfer of Opium floating around somewhere on the internet.
I should run some new searches.

I haven't seen Conrad's King of the Damned! It might sound strange, but for me he will always be a silent star... I've watched a few talkie clips of his from YouTube and it just didn't seem "right". I will watch them eventually, I guess. But for the time being I like to stick to the silent ones...

The Lillian Gish memoir


Hello there! 
I've been away for quite some time. I had a minor argument with my housemate, the whole thing escalated to the point where he cut off my internet connection. I tried setting up a mobile connection but that sucked in a big way so it was no good. 
But now things are back to "normal" again, the internet is up and running and I can start sharing things with you again.


I'll start off with something that I received in the mail recently. I fetched it from the post office and opened it with trembling hands. What I was holding was the autobiography of Miss Lillian Gish, signed by the saintly lady herself:


Loads more pictures after the jump!
