Turner Classic Movies is having some real goodies tonight. "The Films of Thomas Edison" will be a bunch of his short movies. Possibly not for all tastes. "Silent Shakespeare" will be seven short silent movies based on the immortal Bard. I'm expecting to find something good there. Possibly the strongest draw for the largest number (5) of people reading this, however, will be "Films of Georges Melies", with sixteen shorts by the genius who made "A Trip to the Moon" (or as a younger generation says, the video for "Tonight, Tonight" by Smashing Pumpkins*).
I'm setting my timer for these.
[*I know, the video was a remarkably well-made pastiche on Melies. I make the joke, yes?]
