Nothing changes eh!
Funnily enough “gulp cafe” is name of the instance my Mastodon is hosted on, I wonder if they’ll find that coincidence as moderately amusing as I have.
Could the instance be named as a Evereteer reference by a fan?
unlikely, as it has another reason for the name that is fairly fitting for the instance’s niche (which is also why I just mentioned the name rather than directly link it, as it’s theme is not something that most without a specific interest would want to randomly click a link to and see.)
Fair enough!
I heard him say “something doing“
@brbposting @Rolando Everett is one of those characters where I can hear his voice absolutely clearly
What sort of movie would Everett True be watching in 1916?
Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and Douglas Fairbanks woulda been the big names at the time; D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance came out about three weeks prior and was cleaning up pretty well at the 1916 equivalent of the box office
D.W. Griffith’s Intolerance
I looked it up and wow, I didn’t realize that movies were already so big in 1916.
That was pretty much the year movies became that big; Griffith’s Birth of a Nation, released the previous year, more or less revolutionized the filmmaking process and near-singlehandedly codified long-form cinema as we know it today. Of course it also made the KKK the good guys, so, you know, some aspects coulda been better.
Probably a literal box office
Great question! Wikipedia has the answer. Charlie Chaplin was in his prime. D.W. Griffith put out “Intolerance”, which I’ve read about but never seen. Several Cecil B. DeMille movies. And, of course, Everett True had one of his shorts.
Based.
Isn’t there one of these where True whacks a guy for doing the same thing? XD
that’s during the moving picture though
this is before the moving picture
let’s bring that phrase back
