Probably too late for most of you, but the most legendary of lost horror films, Lon Chaney Sr.'s 1927 silent London After Midnight is showing tonight on TCM. It's a restoration and only an hour long so I doubt they have the whole film, but it's still a hugely significant bit of film history.

Basil Gogos' iconic painting of London After Midnight for Famous Monsters of Filmland made this movie the horror cinematic parallel to the Beach Boys Smile as an unavailable masterpiece.

Really too late to affect anyone's decision, but I've seen the TCM re-creation. It's largely a collection of still photos used to give a flavor of the film itself.

I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to Chaney's work, but worth seeing once if you're already familiar with him.

The Flick Filosopher has been doing a series she calls "Female Gazing," which is gorgeous pictures of famous men, concentrating on one at a time. Today it's Matthew Lewis, aka Neville Longbottom.

I've seen a few of these pics before, but as she says in the post, he does look a bit like a baby Clive Owen!

OMG, there are 2 Jeff Buckley bio-pics in the works and it looks like a Tim Buckley one in which Jeff appears.

Did I know this? That Enver's in The Avengers?

OOH.

Nice! Is he just a random cop? Hmm.

You know, that's the other thing about Captain America -- great casting from top to bottom.

Also, it's Joss.

Did we know this?

It’s come to my attention that David Fincher, director of such excellent films as The Social Network, Zodiac, and Se7en, is going to be making a movie out of Jules Verne’s 1870 novel 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

Très, très intéressant.

Wow. Now I wish he'd done League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
