Nice.

Gotta go for the Prime Rib w/ a side of au gratin potatoes. And either Brussel Sprouts or cauliflower, depending upon how they're prepared.

This has been happening on and off for almost a week now!

It's the most technically magnificent (and narratively progressive) early Talkie I've seen. If you can deal emotionally w/ a very brutal war film, I highly recommend it.

It's actually three women, but this is pretty much accurate for 7-8 minutes of the film.

They'll be thrilled for approximately 5 of the film's 133 minutes.

A poster for ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT (1930), which leads you to believe Yola d'Avril has more than five minutes of screen time.

ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT premiered #OTD in 1930

Lewis Milestone's groundbreaking anti-war film won Oscars for Outstanding Production and Best Director.

Yike. And conventions are incubators.

Love that! My mother used to bring me to comic conventions in NYC when I was a pre-teen.

I didn't start going to conventions until the early '80s and, even by then, organizations like Creation had begun to change the vibe.

I am so jealous. What an amazing experience that must have been.

And happy birthday to Her Majesty Elaine May!
