CIA's secret weapon -- German director dead for 32 years

i'm getting a little tired of all the jokes about me never posting, because it's just untrue. i post all the time. i am a master at posting. ask your wives and girlfriends.

lol, j/k. they wouldn't know what a good posting is anyway.

OW!!!!

seriously, though, i will never post again, except this one time when i need to hyperlink and post lots of images

if you know much classic silent film, that video LS posted is truly pathetic. in the middle of talking about mind control and bizarre experiments and MKULTRA, they show this:





it's from fucking METROPOLIS. the evil technology the CIA is on the brink of letting loose on the world is from the special effects from a silent film made 81 years ago.

if you don't believe me, check out this list of metropolis characters and scroll down to ROTWANG AND HIS ROBOT. rotwang, the classic mad scientist, builds a robot that he designs to look exactly like the lover who left him.

it's a really great movie, and everyone should see it at least once. it's good for us to remember that some of the people who cared the most about society and equality in the 20s and 30s were the GERMANS. it isn't fair their legacy got hijacked by a bunch of loonies. which is what pisses me the fuck off about seeing cool images from this great movie being used by another bunch of fucking loonies

What are the two of you doing sitting in this old attic barn, listening to the hoot owls on this lone windy night out by the abandoned Glan's House?

Why are you the way that you are? Honestly, every time I try to do something fun or exciting, you make it not... that way.

I hate... so much about the things that you choose to be.

Hahaha.

What's up, Michael Scott?

I'm just messing with you, Max. It was a good update and a good catch. I can't believe anyone would use Metropolis and ROBOTS to prove government mind control.

I know it should go without saying with guys like this, but that's just insane.

re: ROTWANG

i wonder if back when people were more polite about talking about body issues (like women saying "its time for my visitor" to mean their periods) doctors would have to tell guys who had VD that "you have a german silent film scientist"
