indeed. we should forever be grateful for what has been preserved. aside from the canonized classics, many silent films still have very poor digital transfers, though a few nice hd masters trickle out every year

>>223754535
it's one of those things always sloshing around in the back of my mind. however, i'm ashamed to admit that for many octobers now i have missed/forgotten the exact date. thought i'd rectify it this time around
if you're the real fugue: good to see you!

It's a nice tradition, I stopped because I had to move on with my life. I told myself that once I reached 30 and nothing had materialized, I would try to move on. Still love her movies though. It's good to hear from you too, I hope you're well.

probably around 1990 PBS showed Broken Blossoms and included a bunch of commentary from Gish, she was probably 100 by then.
she was also on the 60s Dick Cavett show. cool lady.

TCM aired a Gish marathon in 2012. This was the schedule:

>Broken Blossoms (1919)
>Orphans of the Storm (1921)
>La Boheme (1926)
>The Scarlet Letter (1926)
>The Commandos Strike at Dawn (1942)
>Portrait of Jennie (1948)
>The Comedians (1967)
>Intolerance (1916)
>The Wind (1928)
>The Night of the Hunter (1955)
>Orders to Kill (1958)
>One Romantic Night (1930)

Not definitive, but a pretty good lineup for a career-spanning overview.

i love the following anecdote from billy big tunes, as relayed in a previous thread:

>The album was named after silent film icon Lillian Gish. In an interview, Corgan said, "My grandmother used to tell me that one of the biggest things that ever happened was when Lillian Gish rode through town on a train, my grandmother lived in the middle of nowhere, so that was a big deal ..."

nothing hits quite like old weird america, does it?

women's value is interchangeable, this woman is probably just as lovely as any other potential woman
