Here's a fun bit of #MovieHistory and #RailroadHistory: In the opening scene of the Our Gang short, Pigskin Palooka, Alfalfa arrives home by train. This scene was filmed at Palms Station, in #CulverCity, just a few blocks from the Hal Roach studio, on the line from downtown LA to Santa Monica.
Since this was such a convenient location, it was used in a couple of other Hal Roach productions, including #LaurelAndHardy's Berth Marks.
The station still exists, but has been moved to Heritage Square, an open-air museum in Los Angeles.
Decades later, a modern Palms station was built on the same site (more or less), for the #LAMTA's Expo light rail line.

What going to the #cinema used to be like. No nachos or CGI, just a beautiful theatre, velvet curtains and a flickering film in the darkness. (Mister D’Ekco)

Info:
The Avalon is a 1,184-seat movie palace, built in 1929 as part of the Catalina Casino and as reported by The Los Angeles Times, it was the first cinema in the world designed for talkies!

It's KING KONG'S 91st birthday! 👑 🦍

Today (March 2) in 1933, the original King Kong premiered in theaters.

That's over NINE decades of the KING! And he's more popular now than ever. There was recently an animated series, a video game, a new comic series is coming out, another TV series is on the way, there's the toys, and of course Godzilla x Kong premieres at the end of this month.

Long live King Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World. May he reign forever 👑 🦍

I am not sure Wizards was the movie to follow up Silent Running with.
Now I'm just more depressed.
I did know about Wizards of course, but I didn't realise just how heavily it mirrors real life events. Should have assumed knowing Bakshi's history I guess, but I know his work from Spicy City most of all, and that isn't as on the nose with its world building

There has to be some robot movies that aren't about the world dying/man's disregard for life 🤖

- I am on a mission to watch all the movies containing robots I haven't seen (so more obscure stuff than matrix, AI, I robot, ghost in the shell, terminator etc)
