And yes, WWI Fucked Shit Up But Good.
Yeah, because then we got surrealism, and, in consequence, people who overuse the word surreal.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
in consequence, people who overuse the word surreal.
Wow, that is so surreal freaky.

Kids who think black & white means boring were obviously deprived of movies about giant rampaging monsters. Which is a shame.

This. I was watching Dracula and other old horror films with my dad on Shock Theater from the time I was 2. Too young? Maybe, but I have fond memories. Especially of the Dracula doll I asked for and got for Christmas as a wee child. Yes, Grandma was scandalized.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
All my nieces loved the B&W Shirley Temple movies as kids, as did I. And we all liked various horror movies and Three Stooges stuff. So I think there are definitely some exceptions.

We didn't have a color tv until I was about seven or so, so B&W was no big deal even after we got the new tv.

I gave my parents their first color TV...in 1986. I didn't even know Wizard of Oz had color in it until I was 15, when I saw it on a neighbor's color TV.

Art Nouveau is turn-of-the-century, organic, plant-inspired design, think, the Metro entrances in Paris, some of Tiffany's glasswork.
I always think of Maxfield Parrish paintings (though I know he was technically doing his own thing rather than being a part of the movement) and Mucha vases with regard to Art Nouveau.

When I think Art Noveau, I think Aubrey Beardsley.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Someone told me Un Chien Andalou was Art Nouveau but it must be Surrealism, no?
