Art Book & SUTS

Apr 26, 2011 20:27

* I couldn't believe it but I already got my FMA Art Book. It is so pretty too. The Animate box is actually more of a slip cover and it only goes over the 3rd Art Book. But it really stands out next to the Black & White first two art books ( Read more... )

I don't know much about Lon's work other than Phantom. When are his movies being aired?

His Day is August 15th

Besides clips of other movies, Phantom is the only full Chaney film I have seen as well but he is considered one of the greats of the silent era and a lot of his most famous films are on the schedule. :)

Thanks for the date.

I know a lot of his son's work thanks to all the monster movies he was in, but I don't know much about his father.

I actually think if anything his father is the more famous of the two. Lon Chaney Sr. was nicknamed the Man of a Thousand Faces for the number of different types (and often grotesque) characters he played. :)

Although it is cool that both son and father had a legacy in movies.

True, I have heard that nickname used to describe him. Personally, however, I don't really know anything about his work, but I do know a lot about his son's work.

That it is. :)

Well in August you can learn more about him. :D

That is what I love about TCM they are always introducing me to new directors, stars, and films.

Good point. :D

Btw have you ever seen The Cabinet of Dr. Caliguri. That's coming on Aug 23rd, Conrad Veidt's day. A very good classic horror film,

marie1964 April 27 2011, 20:43:28 UTC

I have neither heard of the actor nor the movie. I suppose I'll have to watch this to learn more!

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (German: Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari) is a 1920 silent horror film directed by Robert Wiene from a screenplay by Hans Janowitz and Carl Mayer. It is one of the most influential of German Expressionist films and is often considered one of the greatest horror movies of the early times. This movie is cited as having introduced the twist ending in cinema.

And Conrad Veidt is a great German actor

Sounds like a fascinating movie! :)
