Billy B Van’s 1919 lost comedy silent film "Van-ar-chy" (made in New Hampshire) found in a Japan antique shop [FOUND]

Van-ar-chy, a 1919 film starring the US entertainer and film-maker Billy B Van, was rediscovered by Kohei Okita, a film student in Sendai, Japan. While researching early cinema related to the word “anarchy”, Okita bought several old film reels at an antique store in Japan and found the comedy starring Van, whom he did not recognize.

The news release about Van-ar-chy highlighted the importance of Okita’s discovery, saying: “Its survival is significant on two fronts. Van-ar-chy preserves the work of a little-known early American film company at a time when much of silent cinema has been lost.

But it is also a piece of local history captured in motion: its scenes preserve glimpses of the streets, landscapes, buildings, and people of Newport and Sunapee in 1919.”

[found] I found all the missing “The Lil’ Sam & Cat Show” Episodes!

https://archive.org/details/lost-lil-sam-and-cat

After a LOT of trial and error using both the WaybackMachine and live links on the Nickelodeon website, I was able to recover ALL the missing episodes of “The Lil’ Sam & Cat Show”! I also included any episode that had only been found in Spanish and “low quality” episodes. Not gonna lie, this project took like 6 hours due to all the dead ends and such, but once I cracked the pattern of links I was able to find the direct mp4 files!! I also edited the lostmediawiki to reflect these changes! ENJOY!

Some things to note:

-The “Sam & Cat Videos!” referenced in the lost media wiki article is actually more of a general “Sam & Cat” trailer with a picture at the end saying “The Lil’ Sam & Cat Show” will be premiering soon

-A few of the videos aren’t AS high quality as the majority, but I truly couldn't find them any higher, but they aren’t that bad haha!

-All of these files were found in actual live links, so I guess these are just deep in nick.com (unfortunately I don’t know the science to it lol!)

-PLEASE save these in case they get taken down!

Raise the Red Lantern was originally released 35 years ago today - A new 4K restoration and theatrical release is set for this fall

Today is the 35th anniversary of Zhang Yimou’s Raise the Red Lantern, which premiered in 1991 at Venice Film Festival, and has developed a reputation as maybe the best film to ever come out of mainland China.

It won the Silver Lion and the FIPRESCI Prize at Venice, was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, won the BAFTA for Best Film Not in the English Language, and picked up Best Foreign Language Film prizes from both the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics, with the latter also awarding it Best Cinematography. It became one of the major international arthouse successes of the early 1990s, releasing during the heightened visibility of Chinese cinema to Western festival audiences.

It also helped turn Zhang Yimou and Gong Li into two of the biggest figures in international arthouse cinema. They had already made Red Sorghum and Ju Dou together, so neither came out of nowhere, but Raise the Red Lantern is the movie where their collaboration put them on everyone's minds. Zhang was suddenly one of the major directors of his generation, and Gong Li became one of the great international movie stars of the decade.

The basic story of Raise the Red Lantern is simple. Songlian becomes the fourth wife of a wealthy older man and moves into his enormous family compound. Each night, the master chooses which wife he will sleep with, and red lanterns are lit outside her quarters. That wife receives privileges and attention for the evening.

The conflict is deliberately contained to this compound. The wives lie to one another, reveal secrets, and sabotage each other and obsess over privileges that would look completely meaningless outside the walls. It can almost feel like a vicious domestic soap opera until you realize that this focus on the pettiness of the wives is deliberate. One man is virtually the only power available to them, so of course they become ruthless about acquiring it.

Oppression doesn't necessarily create solidarity among the oppressed. Sometimes it creates competition. They are fighting over scraps because scraps are what they have been given. Even Songlian, who initially arrives with enough education and pride to recognize some of the absurdity around her, gradually learns to participate and flourish.

And there are few uses of color in all of movies more famous for good reason. When the lanterns are lit, these severe gray spaces of the compound suddenly glow with this rich red light, transforming whichever wife has been selected into the temporary center of the household. The color means warmth, sex, status, but because we understand the meaning behind it, it also becomes sinister somehow. The movie is gorgeous to look at, but no single frame is comforting.

And thankfully it's about to become much easier to see properly again. I've only ever seen a barebones DVD version from the early 2000s. A new 4K restoration was completed in 2024 and Film Movement Classics has acquired it for a new theatrical rollout in North America this year, with digital and physical releases apparently to follow.

English Translation Patch Released for [Madou Monogatari / Sorcery Saga] - for the Sega Saturn - by Meduza Team.

A huge thank you to Meduza Team for making and releasing the English translation patch for Madou Monogatari, aka Sorcery Saga for the Sega Saturn.

~ Tags ~

  • Turn-based
  • Medieval Fantasy

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

~ Description ~

[Story]

The plot begins with Ragnus being cursed by Yoggus, and getting sent to Arle's world. Mysterious creatures known as Yogs soon begin to appear throughout the world, along with their influence spreading onto others. With the help of Rulue, Carbuncle, and various party members recruited throughout the game, Arle resorts to defeating the Yogs, and eventually Yoggus itself.

[Gameplay]

Unlike the other games which tend to be dungeon crawlers, Madou Monogatari Saturn sends you through isometric maze like levels with up to 3 partners where you can use minimal puzzle solving skills to clear paths and find your way to the goal.

Your main party consists of Arle and Rulue in it most of the time, but other characters join over the course of the story. Carbuncle is also in your party, but functions as an NPC that will randomly attack enemies without warning.
