art history meme (1/8): artists

I feel that much of the reason we are able to tell when a new movie is good, is because we have consumed so many bad or mid contemporary movies. It is harder to tell when a very old movie is good because we (or rather, I) have consumed so few other mediocre ones of the same time period to compare it to. Only the best things tend to last, and why would one intentionally choose something mediocre when there is a much more renown option waiting to be seen, even if I don't have the tools to appreciate it yet.

tldr; I think i need to watch more bad 30's & 40's dramas before I can understand why the good ones are good.

David McCallum Vs. Dean Stockwell

Propaganda

David McCallum - (The Man From U.N.C.L.E, Colditz, The Outer Limits) - He became one of the hottest leading men of 1960s tv with The Man from U.N.C.L.E., and McCallum received more fan mail than any other actor in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's history, including such popular MGM movie stars as Clark Gable and Elvis Presley. He turned his Russian character from side-kick to co-star in one season during the height of the cold war. Artists wrote hit camp songs about his character like "Love Ya, Illya"

Dean Stockwell - (Quantum Leap, Dr. Kildare) - "Dean may be more well known for his roles in film, he is equally a titan of the small screen just as much as the big (despite his short king status)! ... Frankly, I think we all should recognize not only as a great actor, but as a really endearing and handsome fellow. He has the face, he has the style, he has the substance. Rise UP Dean Stockwell nation!!!" Full text propaganda included below the cut

David McCallum:

Everyone knows him as Ducky from NCIS or Ashley Pitt from The Great Escape, but David McCallum was also the original Man From UNCLE, for which role he recieved record setting amounts of fan mail. Was considered to play the Doctor. Charles Bronson stole his first wife, but his second marriage lasted over 55 years, until his death, so who's the winner here.

He became an expert on forensics during his time with JAG/NCIS and attended multiple medical examiner conventions for research.

A classically trained musician, he created several instrumental albums in the 60's his biggest hit is a cover of The Edge which has appeared in movies and video games and sampled by rap artists.

Dean Stockwell:

Dean may be more well known for his roles in film, he is equally a titan of the small screen just as much as the big (despite his short king status)! Dean in his younger days was such a charmer that Dennis Hopper, upon seeing him, compared him to the late James Dean. He reflected that in his early television roles as well, often playing tortured, angst-ridden rebels. His fluffy hair, bushy eyebrows, and big brown eyes gave him an expressive and attractive charisma that nobody could turn from. Speaking of charisma, his biggest role is of course, Al Calavicci from Quantum Leap. If you watch a single episode of this show you are going to come away with an adoration for him. His cunt-slaying fashion and wise-cracking wisdom is all played excellently by him! It really is no wonder that Quantum Leap fans fell so far in love with him that, upon learning he didn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, they campaigned HEAVILY to get him one (which was successful!). Frankly, I think we all should recognize not only as a great actor, but as a really endearing and handsome fellow. He has the face, he has the style, he has the substance. Rise UP Dean Stockwell nation!!!

I find it very interesting that the number of films released per year increases by a constant of around 10k per decade every decade from the 1940s-90s, but then doubles in number every decade from the 2000's-present. And we seem right on track to maintain that exponential in 2020's.

this is so random but i love the way sulu always turns around to look at whoevers in charge when he gets nervous. its such a consistent thing its gotta be an intentional character choice either by the writers/directors or by george. they always cut to that angle looking at the viewscreen to show him doing it as well.

maybe he gets reassurance just from looking at the captain being all stoic and calm. maybe hes waiting for him to give a command. maybe he's just thinking "you seeing this shit??"

who knows. not me. but its just so. human. i love that every character in this show feels like a person with their own quirks and personalities.

also i just love sulu
