I once almost missed a changeover cue when projecting a Harold Lloyd movie because he was riding a galloping horse like a skateboard and I just couldn't believe it

This clip is from the James Mason-narrated 13-part documentary series Hollywood (1980) which interviewed an INSANE amount of silent era talent during their final years. My favorite docu-series of all time, you can watch it all on Youtube too. youtube.com/watch?v=8mo3Z8…

This is such a crazy reveal because the Campbell-MacDonald blood feud was a real event. Imagine watching your favorite show and the episode reveals that this guy's ancestors assassinated your ancestors.
my favorite example of this is when pete's daughter can't get into private school because of an ancient scottish clan blood feud

Mad Men Season 1 plot: Don must hide an affair from his wife. Mad Men Season 6 plot: Peggy accidentally used the shrink ray on Pete and their meeting is in one hour! Don must hide an affair from his wife.

The Chicago coffee shop chain Foxtrot closed every store today without warning and I just watched someone try to open the front door, read the permanently closed note taped to the glass, and then yell "MY FREE REWARDS DRINK NOOO" like a Spongebob character

My grandparents had a VHS tape of Peace on Earth (1939) which is about cute woodland critters learning the bloody history of mankind. After a nightmare war sequence where every human dies, animals inherit the land and there is peace on Earth at last. Has stayed with me forever.

@BenjaminCrew1 Love this series so much. It was set for a restored re-release and shelved due to rights issues...

@BenjaminCrew1 If I may, this source is a bit off; Harold Lloyd blew off just (I feel weird saying “just”) his right thumb and index finger and wore a prosthetic glove to disguise it. It happened at a photographer’s and not on the set. But one can take that as—even publicity could be dangerous.
@BenjaminCrew1 Also watching horse stunts and being amazed at how realistic they look. Then learning why "No Animals Were Harmed" exists.
Gloria Swanson did, in fact, have a run in with a lion.
