"I kind of miss the days..."

"...when the only people who were really willing to commit their time and energy to a risky industry like cinema were escaped mental patients."

ross said that to me when he sent me this insane silent film about, apparently, two young homosexuals (and their girlfriend/sister??? it's impossible to tell if she's one of those guys' sister, though it is clear she is sexually interested in the other one, because the sarcastic, sarcastic subtitles say so) torn asunder by the civil war. also, old men senselessly beating each other with canes.

they really do not make films like they used to.
