Defender of archaic English here: 'wont to do' is what I think you mean.

Cruz is most certainly the presidential candidate imagined in 'The Dead Zone'

Poor Bligh has had about the worst press in history. Captain Cook's sailing master, a decorated British ship commander, an incredible seaman (his log of the open boat voyage after the mutiny is preserved and is incredible in its detail and the accuracy of his navigation). While the fictionalized accounts of the…

I'm thinking that when Kubrick's film came out, everyone knew what the book was about and they were able to read between the lines of the script and knew the events in the book that he had to leave out. Watching it now, where most people know the name and not much else, it would be much more puzzling and seemingly…

Soooo, a bad remake of a bad remake. The original mid '70s original was called 'The Gumball Rally'. Supposedly, this race was really run too.

I personally am pretty surprised this is even an issue with anyone. Slow day at work ….

No one is saying it is, but court documents have to be written in a very rigid form, usually using the Courier font ('typewriter') which is fixed pitch and therefore calls for two spaces after the end of a sentence. Anyone who was taught to touch type formally like I was, will have that as an ingrained habit too.

Two spaces after a period is not evil, it is simply old-fashioned and dates back to the days of manual typewriters with fixed pitch, non-kerned fonts. (Kerning is changing the widths of pairs of letters to make a neater overall appearance). Modern digital fonts automatically adjust themselves.

If they took out the coke element it would not really be the '70s NYC music scene. It was everywhere in those days and everyone was doing it. I lived through the real thing and what they are showing is pretty close to what life was like in the clubs and offices.

Sorry but his is Georgia where there are more than that.

Actually, 'The Harder They Come' is the Jimmy Cliff reggae/gangster movie that features the great song of the same name.

That may be so, but what they wrote for him and the attitude he strikes is not the real Col. Sanders which was my point, he sounds jokey and middle class South, not gentlemanly and living up to his white suit and string-tie South.

I don't care what their excuse is, this 'new' colonel was completely tone deaf. He did not sound like the real colonel, he did not act correctly, but most importantly, the character was off. The real colonel was a Southern Gentleman in a big way, he would not talk all slangy, he would never have said the words they…

1AM Ice time ! I was in that league for years !

This article simply cribs from the main one the infographic comes from. If you follow the link, they explain why The Third Man and others were not included in the survey/

You are correct in that the hand-cranked cameras were used to alter the speed of the action, especially for comedies, but the perception of many people that silent-era movies have that 'speeded up' feel came from that common mistake. In general however, silent films wanted their movements to be natural.

Silent films are not sped up - when they look like that its because they are being played on sound projectors or equipment which works at 21fps instead of the proper silent speed of 17 fps.

This is the same plot of the famous Robert Heinlein short story 'All You Zombies'. The protagonist time-traveler ends up being his own mother and father.

The responses of a total intellectual know-nothing. "Oh Boo Hoo Hoo, you won't accept my opinion without something to back it up so I will hurl my most creative insults because you hurt my feelings". You lose.
