Yesterday was Friday the 13th. As is sadly predictable these days, last week there was a few Friday 13th movies on, but only one was on this week ... and very few other horror movies. What did I watch before going to bed? Yes, a silent Russian movie ... actually Bed and Sofa was a pretty good selection (really) with remarkable film quality for a movie from the 1920s. It also was shall we say a "pre-Code" type of film involving adultery and illegitimate pregnancy, more mature (though much of it was implied ... again, in a creative way) than many films one is likely to see these days.
The available commentary was too pedantic, and the soundtrack annoying, but it was fairly easy to watch all the same. Yes, even with only title cards. Oh, though the wife had a flapper look, the actors really look artificial as they often did early on to allow makeup to show up on old film and so forth. I would say it is better than many of the docudrama dominated Lifetime, which is no longer on the Dish Network system (my provider), leading to a large advertisement to be bought for the NYT signed by a bunch of advocate groups. A bit silly really -- Lifetime is a channel for some women ... and WE (Women) Network is still provided.
Talking about movies, I forgot to note another love metaphor/dialogue that is provided in holiday movies. Namely, Casanova had a view of love in which someone in love finds rainy weather but a change of pace. Anyway, everyone will be happy to know that I obtained a WV quarter, thus having all state quarters east of the Mississippi.
