Okay... my purpose in this year is to fully learn about movie history from the beginning.. Oh yeah.... this is gonna be some long shit all right

Extra resources, ed2k links etc. are more than welcome as I will post along.
http://bad-good.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2965 Put them here.

Decided to make this thread in order to remember things better.

And maybe we can all learn more about film.

Oh yeah, and I'm gonna watch everything I read and write about if it's on the net

PS. Wikipedia totally sucks for film history information so I recommend avoiding it

Gonna start shitting off in the next post. First I gotta take a long dump!

Some links to other websites containing information:

Film History from 1900 up to 1920's

Cheers for that

Hmm now to start writing the first shit...

Ok before FILM camera history we had other nice smelly donuts:





Emile Reynaud did those crappers and you can see one here - Emile.Reynaud.-.Autour.d'une.Cabine.(1895).avi [3.94 Mb]


You'll pee your pants. Okay more to come just need to light a cigarrette

These were basically not much different from the Lumiere pictures, except that these were made for Kinetoscope projectors.

Edison.-.Edison.Kinetoscopic.Record.Of.A.Sneeze.(1894).mpeg [1.08 Mb]

Now the Lumiere brothers were much influenced and horny by all this so..


28th December 1895 (not 1985 ) is acknowledged as the date of the birth of cinema. On that kinky day, Lumiere fuckers made the first public projection of 10 shorts.

Here's an anthology I found of their ground-breaking work. Antologia.dei.Fratelli.Lumiere.(1895-1897).[85.short.films.avi [701.67 Mb]

If it wasn't for these guys, we wouldn't have Troll 2

Anyway... to continue.

The real genius here is Georges Melies Ya see, Lumiere bro's movies were, by today's standars, basically documentaries, and Melies knew that it all needed some extra spicy sperm and soul.

This guy introduced to film amazing stuff



Basically the father of future science fiction and my underwear

His most famous work is:Le Voyage Dans la Lune - A Trip to the Moon (1902)
<center></center>

Le.voyage.dans.la.lune.(Georges.Melies.-.1902).avi [89.10 Mb]



Oh and the Lumiere fuckers wouldn't sell him a Cinematographe so he made his own camera

Melies was the film king for some time, until Charles Pathe showed up with his company Pathe ( ). Complete monopol is what they had over european and american cinema.

But that's not really that important

Anyway, last important year I stopped at was 1902 and Melier's innovations to film.

I'll jump back a little to 1896 as in this year... was the first film ever made of a couple kissing in cinematic history



The Kiss (1896) Edison.-.The.Kiss.-.1896.avi [2.63 Mb]

This is also important because it was the first filmed shit to bring demand for censorship

Okay... now to go back on track and to 1903.....

Hope you're reading my crap... Just watched The Kiss

Anyways.... 1903 ... we go to USA

Edwin S. Porter helped establishing narrative story telling in film. Especially with The Great Train Robbery, one of the first westerns



This movie introduced nifty stuff



The.Great.Train.Robbery.(1903).avi [219.07 Mb]



Oh and Mariachi, we'll certainly get to porn later

Time for some cartoonies!!!

1906

J. Stuart Blackton made the first animated film (at least the first that has survived footage) Humorous Phases of Funny Faces.



006.-.James.Stuart.Blackton.-.Humorous.Phases.of.Funny.Faces.(1906).mpg [26.23 Mb]

Same year is important beacuse the first feature length film was made! In Australia The Story of the Kelly Gang by Charles Tait.



About 70 minutes it lasted. Talk about making me extremelly hornyyy

Pretty face huh? That's D. W. Griffith, a very important figure for american film and movies in general.

1908 was the year he directed his first movie

The Adventures of Dollie



Griffith,.DW.(1908).The.adventures.of.Dollie.avi [99.29 Mb]

Sounds like porn all right

During more than 400 of his filmed nastiness, he developed many innovative techniques. Especially those that deal with story-telling on film.



He perfected that in his most famous work, the epic The Birth of a Nation (1915)



Here's a big one I'm getting since the 1cd looked like utter shit. Movie is about 3 hours long

The.Birth.Of.A.Nation.-.1915.-.D..W..Griffith.avi [1.41 Gb]

After the succes of Nation he filmed his other most notable work, Intolerance: Love's Struggle Throughout the Ages(1916)


Intolerance.1916.Restored.DVDRip.[Griffith.CD1-sUPerFLY.avi [700.50 Mb]

Intolerance.1916.Restored.DVDRip.[Griffith.CD3-sUPerFLY.avi [688.99 Mb]

So yeah, although his view could have been racist or too moraly naive, his works put movie story telling to a new level

Another important figure, this time for Comedy, that pooped up these years, or precisely became famous around 1907...

was Max Linder









He had great influence on Charles Chaplin later on. This is some nasty comedy we're talking about here folks!

Let's try some of these out shall we, and see the starting crap of comedy movie history

Italy. here I CUM!

Very important stuff for historical film yes indeedy

Anyway, unlike other countries, Italy blasted off straight with historical epic nastiness.



Filoteo Alberini was the greasy midget behind all this, italy's movie patenter.

First was in 1905, La presa di Roma, 20 settembre 1870 - The Capture of Rome



Too bad this genre even started, cause we'll have to watch Alexander the Great in te 00's

Anyway these history epics were being pooped out like a regular christmas turkey. Also making the first DIVAs, especially Francesca Bertini, the first star to be seen....

PARTLY NAKED!!!!

Other Notable epic of the time is Cabiria 1914

Cabiria.1914.DVDRip.XviD-SAPHiRE.CD1.avi [700.47 Mb]
Cabiria.1914.DVDRip.XviD-SAPHiRE.CD2.avi [698.28 Mb]

Off course, a lot was filmed in-between but these history Italian epics make me sick

Let me fart

Anyway onto the genre of crime

It all started in our beloved France with the series of shorts, Nick Carter (not Backstreet Boys ) and Pinkerton. Around 1908.
Nick Carter supposedly actually being the first detective films in history.

The most popular however, came few years later, in 1913 growing even more popular in 1914

Fantomas



Based on the popular series of crime novels, Louis Feuillade brought this masked crapper onto the big screen.
You can see this shit for yourself:

Fantômas.II.-.Juve.contre.Fantomas.(Louis.Feuillade.-.1913).avi [358.33 Mb]

Louis.Feuillade.-.Fantômas.V.-.Le.Faux.magistrat.(1914).avi [358.28 Mb]

This was influential to someones anus.

So we see how important some countries were for the beginnings of film, but I still haven't mentioned England

James Williamson



This fella is also very important as he contributed to 'continuous' narrative in films. His Attack on a China Mission for example, was consisted of only 4 shots with the camera going from one to another, without the whole "happening" in the previous one even finishing. Creating thus a different experience of time, while the viewer was not aware of the time change.

Unlike the French pioneer Melies, Williamson didn't see the camera as a passive capturing tool, but very interactively.

Like in his short The Big Swallow (1901), for which suprisingly I only found porn on the ed2k , where one of the actors goes towards the camera, opening his mouth giving the impression he'll swallow it

So Williamson not only accomplished simple cut editing, but also drastic shot changes inside just one frame, or whatever that's called, cause I can't find the english words, damn

Denmark!



This sweet fella, Peter Elfelt, is apparently the first Dane to make a film. But that ain't such important info now is it?

Anyway up to the the end of world war 1, Denmark had it going good. After 1917, it bancrupted and the film-makers, actors etc. mostly went to Sweden, Germany or to their home-towns to make fresh low-budget poop.

So now about this golden period prior to 1917

The Danish directors of that time concentrated on making movies according to public taste, so one genre was squeezed until public wanted something different.

Holgen Madsen for example...



specialized himself first in adventure and love stories, then in paranormal and drugged dreams (whatever the fuck is that), and nearing 1917 post-war poop. :shoot:

This was all pretty much crapper talk, and in the next post I'll tell you about some major female acting importance from Denmark

Asta Nielsen - this hot babe can be considered as the first great international star. Other famous stars like Garbo or Hepburn were greatly influenced by her.



Holy wackoroonies! The Abyss (1910) - now that's what I call a root of soft porn.

Afgrunden.(The.Abyss).(Urban.Gad-Asta.Nielsen.1910).DVDRip.DivXClasico.com.avi [499.05 Mb]

We must all download this!

So basically, Asta was important for these gender experiments, as she also played a man in a few roles, later to be copied by, as I said already, Katharine Hepburn etc. And this is still just silent film.

Boy people were perverted back then

Oh my goodnes, Im nearing the end of pre/World War I period

Now two posts of comedy

Mack Sennett



Here are some nice quotes I found to describe him best





That's what I call important

Interesting, he worked under D. W. Griffith at the beginning of his film carreer. In 1912, he formed his own company Keystone that can be together with him, considered the land-mark for comedy improvement and popularity. First filmed under Keystone was

Cohen at Coney Island (1912) with which starts the history of Slapstick Comedy.

The basics with filming these comedies was improvisation. Sennett soon let other directors make the films, but he was always around, giving instructions, and finally editing them himself. He made an army of comedians, each with stereotypical looks and moves, who he would use for needed projects.

To better understand this here are pics of some of these buggers.

Mack Swain



Ford Sterling



And off course Charlie Chaplin, but we'll have a special topic about him off course

Almost forgot to mention Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle



Yeah that's him accused for rape

Sennett was very important, even monumental for the film comedy, especially since his students made their best films later in the 20's

Charles Spencer Chaplin (born 1889) came first time to America in 1910., as a member of a traveling show (or whatever that's called in english ). During his 2nd tour in 1914, he ended up in the Keystone company of Mack Sennett.

During that year, he filmed 35 short films for Keystone. In the first 4 he was only an actor, for the next 8 he also gave ideas and in the next 7 accomplished the position of co-director. Starting with movie nr. 20 he was a full fledged director and stayed that way. In one year, from nobody he turned to a star.

Busy little weasel



The first year spent with Sennett (in the SACK?! ) was about experimentation, when Chaplin developed his famous costume and mask, which charactarize him to this very day!!!! OINK!

In the period of 1915 to 1916, Chaplin's true character personalities come to the screen, in 14 short turd bombs!

Here are some of those (unverified):

Charlie.Chaplin.-.Charlot.Marinero.(Shanghaied).(Spanish).1915.avi [121.04 Mb]

Up till then, the irony and burlesque was separated in his works, untill his movies for Mutual where they mixed. This was between 1916 and 1917 when some of his first masterpieces came to be. Those include The Floor-Walker, The Vagabond, One A.M., The Rink, Easy Street, The Cure and The Immigrant.

During this early period his comedy was directed more towards the character than to society. Individual egoism was the game

In 1918, he had a new turn . In these movies his character starts to show big emotions, pain, love, turd creeping down his pants These movies were filmed for First National, a company with an extremely shit name.

Interesting one is A Dog's Life (1918) where Chaplin has a living being for a partner for the first time. And it's a dog named Scraps

That's mostly it about Chaplin's early years. If I find anything that needs to be added I'll update the post.
