Saucy Seaside Postcards

On July 15, 1954 a seventy-nine-year old man found himself in front of the magistrates court in Lincoln charged with breaking the Obscene Publications Act (1857). How he got there sheds a fascinating light on British culture and moral attitudes. In an age of instant communication and oversharing, it is easy to forget that sending a postcard to friends and relatives was de rigueur for…

Rough Sea (1900) James Bamforth 

Rough Sea is a  film by James Bamforth shot in 1900 at an unidentified location on the British coast. The film was produced by the production company founded by the director himself: the Bamforth Company.

Rough seas were a popular subject for early filmmakers keen to demonstrate the thrilling new medium of moving pictures. It was an especially popular subject in Great Britain where the first film to receive a public screening was Rough Sea at Dover by Birt Acres, film from which James Bamforth was evidently inspired.

Nor was Birt Acres the first to be fascinated by the sea; in 1891 Étienne-Jules Marey had recorded waves crashing on a rock in the Bay of Naples, his La Vague is one of the oldest surviving films in history.

An ask game, Ryu!!! Tell me 5 of your favorite or top songs and send this ask to the last 10 people in your notifications))

ohhhhhhhh!! fun :D

thank you for including me~

now... lemme think... my music taste is super random and it doesn't really care about the type of music it just randomly picks a song that vibes with me at the time so here are some that are plaguing my mind atm XD

В последний раз · Ансамбль Весёлые ребята (translated: The Last Time · The Vesyolye Rebyata Ensemble) - i heard this first as a meme animation song but the way they sing the chorus, especially the part "V posledniy raz" ("For the last time") is just so haunting~

Villain / 𝖢𝖮𝖵𝖤𝖱 - dongdang - because of this video >.>;;;

Over & Over · Rio Romeo - again cause of a dust animation but what can i do, it's just soooo well done XD

Bamforth and Whittaker - Dead Men - i knew this song and it was ok when i just heard it but then i saw it in this animation and it got upgraded in my brain

AJR - Yes I'm A Mess - just... yes

Hope these make any sense XD
