A poster for the 1925 Reginald Denny comedy Where Was I?:

I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...

I often feel like this. :lol:

By the way, those red question marks seem to pop off my phone screen.
You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Wow, that's an attention-getting one, huh? Now I want to see this film.

A print does exist at the Netherlands' EYE Institute, but I dunno if it's been digitally transferred yet. There's one review on IMDb but it's by F Gwynplaine, so...

Guess it will have to just remain a question mark, then... 8-)

Not sure if this one has been posted, but I saw this today and thought it was pretty badass.

That's a good one. :D

That illustration is about as over-the-top as Henry B. Walthall's performance in that. (That surreal interview scene—wow! :))

Skeleton needs dental work, though. :? (Can it afford some implants?)

Hey, I'd thought I'd seen this film, but I didn't it remember being 6 reels. Maybe I'm mixing this up with another film, or maybe I'm just totally wrong, and never have seen it all along.

Yeah, it is a six-reeler feature film. You may have seen parts of it separately (like that interview scene I was referring to).
