The Lost World 1925 - Review

 The lost world from 1925 is a silent film featuring stop motion animation from one of the inventors of the craft. Screen play by Marion Fairfax based on a book by Sr. Arthur Conan Doyle. Directed by Harry O. Hoyt. Staring Wallace Beery, Bessie Love and Lloyd Hughes to name a few.



Well I loved this movie but after a short time I hit the mute button as that sound track drove me nuts. It's just the same annoying music over and over again. But the acting is not all that typical of a silent film where over dramatizing moment is often the case.

Basically a diary of a fellow scientist is disused with other scientists who find it to be absurd and outlandish. A rescue mission is set into place and the lost world is found. Adventure and discovery are the forefront of that mission. For the times it must have been rather outrageous for a woman to have done along on the journey, but this added to the story and the fun.

BTW Willis O'Brien is the man who did the stop motion animation for this movie and King Kong of the same era. His style of animation set the standard for years to come.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
