We can't view these posters merely as film advertisements. The moonlight, the desolate city, the rats, and Orlok draw heavily upon early 20th-century German Expressionist art, Goya's etchings, and the fantastical visual culture of German Romanticism.
Nosferatu was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, Dracula. The story moved from England to the fictional German town of Wisborg, and Count Dracula was transformed into Count Orlok. After a lawsuit filed by Florence Stoker, a court ordered the destruction of the film's negatives and all prints in 1925.
The film was saved from being wiped from history thanks to copies scattered across different countries.
Poster designs and film advertising for Nosferatu. Artist: Albin Grau, 1921-1922. Collection: Bildnachlass Albin Grau, Kantonsbibliothek Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Trogen, Switzerland.
By personally illustrating the posters alongside designing the sets and costumes, Grau aimed to spark the audience's first encounter with horror on the streets, well before they even stepped foot inside a theater.
With a lifelong interest in the occult (mysticism and supernatural beliefs), Grau didn't stick to the familiar image of the 'elegant and seductive aristocratic vampire.' The character of Orlok, played by actor Max Schreck, drew inspiration not just from the script, but directly from these very designs.
Regular reminder that non-citizen voting - which the SAVE Act is meant to address - is "virtually non-existent" even according to audits from the Heritage Foundation, GOP governors, and others who set out trying to prove it was widespread. They found virtually nothing.
This is wildly false, and it breeds a dangerous level of ignorance and wishful thinking in the American public. We'd have to make some hard choices (including making some very tough trade-offs) to come close to balancing the budget. Saying anything else is irresponsible.
My friend Steve ran into Dominique Wilkins at a pizza place in Georgia, went home to show him the sneakers ‘Nique gave him forty years ago, and it was just as meaningful a moment for Wilkins as it was for Steve.
Beautiful.
absolutely despicable. loathsome. if you supported this administration because of your concerns about "free speech" go to a monastery for a year or someting. seriously carve out some time for self-reflection. try to figure out how you were conned so badly!
Remember when JD Vance preened at the Munich Security Conference about the Trump administration’s passion for free speech:
“So I come here today not just with an observation, but with an offer. And just as the Biden
administration seemed desperate to silence people for speaking their minds, so the Trump administration will do precisely the opposite, and I hope that we can work together on that.
In Washington, there is a new sheriff in town. And under Donald Trump’s leadership, we may disagree with your views, but we will fight to defend your right to offer them in the public square.”
I wrote about this in my newsletter. The Weather Service didn't launch balloons recently and got surprised by tornadoes in Kansas. DOGE cuts at NWS cut out weather balloon launches which gather data for storm prediction. You are less safe because of that choice.
"We want a world where oil and gas is flowing freely...that's not going to happen if the Irans are engaged in acts of economic terrorism."
It was flowing pretty freely before February 28. I forget what happened that day to change it though...
@TheAthletic I can't wait to get aROUND to listening to this when I'm at my TABLE.
Bring back the roundtable too, that's what I'm saying. There's dozens of us that miss it.
