Post any blogs you read relating to the subject of film in the NitrateVille time period:
Greenbriar Picture Shows
Once a week, in-depth looks at something that was in the theaters in the 30s, 40s, or 50s, with a lot of personal remembrance relating to showmanship then (and later TV exposure), but also a clear-eyed view of the industry as a business.
Vitaphone Varieties
Highly visual commentary on early sound era personalities and films (mostly music-related) from Jeff Cohen, who posted at AMS as Vitaphone.
DaveKehr.com
Longtime movie reviewer and NY Times DVD beat writer gets more in depth into classic era auteurist concerns here (right now there's a nice appreciation of Leo McCarey that manages to bring in everyone from Charley Chase to Yasujiro Ozu).
The Bioscope
Learned observations and roundup of the news on early film, from UK-based Luke McKernan (aka NV poster Urbanora).
Cartoons On Film
AMS poster Tom Stathes' blog on early animation.
Ferdinand Von Galitzien
Inimitable blog by a Spanish-German count who reviews many rarities broadcast by Arte in Europe and otherwise unknown in the US. (Most content also posted here.)
Silent Film Music by Ben Model
Blog by well-known accompanist Ben Model (aka NV poster silentfilmmusic).
Stummfilm
German-language blog by NV poster Knut.

We should respect the other fellow's religion, but only to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is attractive and his children intelligent. —H.L. Mencken
