Steamed Hams but it's a German Expressionist Film

this may already be on tumblr but since the search options here suck, i’m posting it because this is, simply put, brilliant.

I was gonna make a little shitghost post poking fun at how uncanny it would actually be to slowly wake up to the Papa of your choice gazing lovingly at you, because their left eye is so jarring (and because eyes can be an issue for me personally).

But then I went to find photographs to back this argument up

And I realized

Nah: It’s literally just fucking Terzo

Literally just

Primo’s eyes are just grumpy old man. Secondo’s eyes are grumpier old man who can be consoled with a hot toddy (and tiddy) and a nap. And Copia just looks like a puppy cocking its head at the camera.

Don’t get me wrong, Terzo can definitely look normal and chill, and not he’s not scary every time he does that with his eyes. But Ngl if I woke up to this

Words would be had. Probably mostly apologies from me reflexively smacking him but.

I’m also tossing this in here but imo Terzo has the scariest command over his eyes. The shit he be doing in “He Is” besides the above image is unsettling, and I think he knows it.

I can't believe I was like. "so what if people from work find my tumblr! I have nothing to hide!" and then I realized I'd literally been posting "the cabinet of dr caligari" fanfiction today

watching old silent films is exciting because you're watching the birth of a new artistic medium right before your eyes. a lot of early ones are just the filmmaker trying something they've never seen before and going "look what i can do!" the joy in the first filmed kiss, the thrill of the first filmed train heist, the weirdness of méliès duplicating his own head and then blowing it up. a man plays accordion in 1888; mary, queen of scots is beheaded in 1895. the later you get the more sophisticated this new cinematic language becomes, and you can see directors figuring out all the tricks they can do with film that wouldn't have worked onstage. it's magical

derailing class discussion on frankenstein adaptations so i can talk about german expressionism

[ghoulierstudio]

✨Tim Burton x German Expressionist Film✨ mini zine (started 5/6 weeks ago) when I realized while taking a History of Cinema class a YouTube video I saw did a terrible job of explaining how Tim Burton’s is derived/inspired by German Expressionism. And as a lover of expressionism in general made this to elaborate on the connection. I didn’t tie in Alfred Hitchcock he’s there subliminally with Vincent Price.
