Georges Méliès - The Wizard of Odd

Cinematic mischief (circa 1900) is afoot in a new DVD collection from Flicker Alley: “Georges Méliès: First Wizard of Cinema (1896-1913). The creator of the classic short film Le Voyage dans la lune is back in this boxed set of five DVDs featuring more than 170 titles. Pure magick!

Le Scat Noir (not to be confused with certain rock bands and poseurs) is an independent journal devoted to art, news, reviews, and entertainment. Unlike much of the trash we must compete with, ours is a publication you can depend on. We never mince words in the face of idiocy, and with all the idiots out there that’s a lot of un-minced words. A legend in print since the 19th century, LSN continues to set standards where none exist. This new, improved digital version has everything the grand print edition had except ink and a trained staff of writers. Our droppings from around the globe are absorbed by millions of intellectuals throughout Europe, while in the U.S. (where our editorial office is unfortunately based) they like to look at the pictures.
