Bully!!
A man chooses. A slave obeys.
If anyone can tell me how I could share a powerpoint presentation with you guys I could show you a project on the '20's I did a few weeks ago in 8 hours on a sunday night. It's pretty alright.
Also, I guess the 1920's were good because they were really the begining of movies and major production companies, and I love movies, so yeah.
Murderer's Row
The Four Horsemen
Lucky Lindy
Talkies
Houdini
if you like stuff about the twenties, check out a film called Bright Young Things.
The Four Horsemen
Princeton football. I remember that. Not literally though. Just from some DBQ I did.
Also, Flappers.

Damn! Who knew Houdini was so ripped?
Also...1890-1940 or so is about my favorite time in American history...
Tony Latone and The Pottsville Maroons (aka the Greatest NFL story never told)!
Dr. Caligari!
Metropolis!
The Federal Theater Project! The US Government PAID theaters to make art!
Speakeasies! Hellzapoppin! Animation gets invented! Cars look really frickin cool! Nikola Tesla!
And, just around the bend in the '30s, the ideal of the classic SuperHero is born! The Lone Ranger! The Shadow! Superman! Batman!
I woulda run things back then, sure! Life woulda been peaches and cream! Just me and my gal and a shiny nickel on our way to the matinee! Golly!
Whippie! I knew this would be a hit!
.....whippie? wtf.

Yeah, I just read the book "Breaker Boys" abou tthe Maroons, it's pretty incredible stuff. Football was trippy back then, kinda like MMA in the mud.
It's the Four Horsemen of Notre Dame, you knave!
Damn it, you're right. I hate it when I think I actually know something and I'm completely wrong. Eh, Notre Dame sucks anyhow. They lost to Washington State. How sad.
Dada art!! Marcel Duchamp, Man Ray!
Brentinlouis Wrote: What was that rule about being intentionally annoying?
Vive Magritte!
Uhg, I can't stand "Nude descending a staircase". That painting's bullshit.
edit: Although, the google image search brought up some nice pictures.
oh I love Magritte and Duchamp!

the sun also rises - ernest hemingway
Louise Brooks
The Cottingley Fairies (ok it was 1917 but hey it's close)
The era of Spiritualism:
mediums, psychics, spirit photographs, ectoplasmic manifestations galore!
poor old Arthur Conan Doyle was a great believer in this stuff
At the same time Houdini was trying to expose these spiritualists for the fraudsters they were!
so after all of that, i noticed that it posted after every letter i typed...wtf?
i now hate the 1920's ...j/k
It's because AlexPallix mentioned spirits and ectoplasm. She invited them in, and look what happened! (it didn't happen to me, because I am 50% ectoplasm)
Aw, I can't see a lot of the pictures. But I love this thread. The other day we were talking about the '20's at my friend Leah's house and while we were talking she fled off somewhere, a few seconds later came back with this picture of her grandmother as the funniest-looking flapper I'd ever seen. Ah, flappers.
Nuff said.
whee! I love this. I was excited to see 18 new posts this morning, but i guess it was just my shotgunface ruining everything. Oh well, such is life.

i'm just shitting you, alyissa. We all screw up sometimes. did I spell your name right?
Brentinlouis Wrote: What was that rule about being intentionally annoying?
she needed a reboot.
i don't know anything about it but i'm alwasys suspect of anything that gets glamorized, it was probably awful for poor people like most decades, also the films had no talking.

someone call the ghostbusters!

Charleston. Charleston. Charleston. Charleston.
"They sold you hippies grunge, hip hop, now liberty activism."
Charleston. Charleston. Charleston. Charleston.
Made in Carolina!
Some dance, some prance.
I'll say...
There's nothing finer than the...
I love The Great Gatsby. Brilliant. I really need to see the movie, Mia Farrow looks stunning.
Houdini
man houdini had a little weenie. You would think he would be able to pull a trick or some slight of hand, but no...not even in the water and hung like a toddler.
Hey, it's cold out there!
Hey, it's cold out there!
Dude magicians back in the day got ass out the ass, a photo like that could have him blue balled for months.

Get it? because he's a magician? And his penis is now magically in her handbag?
i doubt those prissy ladies in the 20's were carring about the size of his dong. They were more like, "Oh goodness! I'm about to make it with Houdini!"

omg! I almost spit when I read that. Funny! But seriously, twenties gals were too caught up in the fact they were doing something with Houdini, they woulnd't mind a bit.
Maybe the small penis thing is an act. He's really packing some heat, but he used magic to make it look small? the magic of a cold winter's day.....This Houdini wennie talk is going no where. Back to more twenties stuff!

Here's some more twenties stuff from 1925:
The first double decker buses came about in the twenties too!

Gangsters start running shit and became powerful. Their power became glamorous. Crime does as well.
Al "Scarface" Capone
Salvatore "Lucky" Lucania
It's because of the likes of these fools, the Great Depression and most definitely the media that led more people to become notorious criminals. See, John Dillinger, Bonnie and Clyde and Ma Barker. And because of them, the FBI was established.
