...first memo, which actually dates from 1929, before the avalanche begins, brusquely dismisses Rin-Tin-Tin. The introduction of talking pictures, argues one Warner executive, has turned their canine star into just another unemployed hound, "very obviously, of course, because dogs don't talk." To the regret of Jack Warner, who ran the studios (Brother Harry was president and Albert was treasurer), his other stars could talk and often did. When Davis objects to being cast in something called Hollywood Hotel (1937), her withering look can be seen between her lines to him: "I have worked very hard to become...
...what's on television. The All Shows index is organized by category (Comedy, Drama, Children's Talk, Soaps, Reality, Sci-Fi and so on); browse from A to Z or by decade. You'll find everything from the Life and Times of Juniper Lee to The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin. But of the 14,000 shows in the database, only 2,500 of them have content that's fully fleshed out, so the idea is to have fans help fill in the rest.

...some lovely renderings of the literati themselves: scholars alone in their pavilions admiring nature, or meandering through the countryside on the backs of donkeys, or on a picnic?challenging one another to produce the best picture or most expressive calligraphy. One of the most charming is Yi Song Rin's 1748 Sage and Child Under the Moon and the Pine. Confucian philosophy acknowledges the centrality of man, the importance of learning, the appreciation of nature and the cycle of life. All are here, as the little boy, holding his lunch box in one hand and his scroll box under...
...picture by Helmut Newton, photographer of consequence, full-time provocateur, dirty old man. In the 1970s Newton became famous with fashion shots that introduced to the pages of Vogue the black leather of European decadence. (This was before Robert Mapplethorpe showed us that dog collars were as American as Rin Tin Tin.) It was a moment of witchy aftershocks from the '60s, when the energies of liberation had moved on to less wholesome destinations. Instead of pot, cocaine; instead of Joan Baez, Patty Hearst. Newton plunged into this atmosphere with pictures of deluxe women in bondage gear and lesbian...
METROPOLIS. Director Rin Taro worked with Osamu Tezuka to adapt Tezuka’s 1949 manga, a riff on Fritz Lang’s 1927 silent sci-fi classic. This adaptation is an anime film that follows Kenichi (Kei Kobayashi) and his uncle, Shunsaku Ban (Kousei Tomita), in a futuristic city in which robots do most of the work, but must live underground. Shunsaku is a detective on the trail of a fugitive who is creating a robot named Tima (Yuka Imoto), but soon Kenichi and Tima are on the run together. Since Tima is unaware of her purpose...
