The police are free to ask questions, and the public is free to ignore them.  –  Judge Charles R. Wilson

Here’s another very early film; this one is the first filmed version of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, from 1903; one notable feature is that moviemakers had not yet figured out how to do the titles, which in this case results in the audience being told what they will see before they see it.  There also seems to be an assumption that the audience already knows the story and can thus fill in the gaps for themselves.  The links above it were provided by Franklin Harris, Jesse Walker, Stephen Lemons, The Onion, Phoenix Calida, Emma Camp, and IncarcerNation, in that order.

I find paywalls distasteful, and so many people find this blog valuable as a resource I just can’t bring myself to install one.  Furthermore, I find ad delivery services (whose content I have no say over) even more distasteful.  But as I’m now semi-retired from sex work, I can’t self-sponsor this blog by myself any longer.  So if you value my writing enough that you would pay to see it if it were paywalled, please consider subscribing; there are four different levels to fit all budgets.  Or if that doesn’t work for you, please consider showing your generosity with a one-time donation; you can Paypal to maggiemcneill@earthlink.net or else email me at the same address to make other arrangements.  Thanks so much!
