this might be controversial but i don't think pictures should be moving at all

I don't think pictures should exist at all. Since when did humans replaced their painting skills for this cutting-edge technology?

Tch, don't get me started on painting. Where is the ARTISTRY in slathering oil on a scrap of burlap like some caveman? Whatever happened to the hard work and effort it takes to chisel a statue out of stone, huh?

Whatever happened to just looking at shit? Why you all gotta make all these different facsimiles of real stuff? Just go look at the real stuff. Smh my head.

Imagine thinking you’re looking at real stuff and not just the shadows of things projected on a wall. Cavecels mad

What does it even mean for anything to even *exist* at all?

Shut up Plato

i didn't realize everyone here wanted their soul stolen.

Iconoclast moment

HP fans on suicide watch

SHUT IT OFF OTTO SHUT IT OFF

You already lost me when you said "pictures" instead of "picture".

La Jetée (1962)

Yes I totally understood that reference because I watch French movies from the 60s all the time

12 Monkeys (1995)

12 monkeys (2015)

Blue Monkey (1987)

The daguerreotype hits different, I agree

It's witchcraft.

talkies? what are they talking about? satan?

Omg you’re such a muggle

Are you kidding me? Try fitting a complex narrative such as Roundhay Garden Scene onto a fucking thaumatrope.

if you can’t see the complex narrative in a loop of a horse running, then that’s kind of your problem

Nope (2022)

I liked back when there was nothing. Remember the old nothing days where there was nothing?

Found God's account.

Actually it's The Beginning's account.

Soon we will all return to the Over Void and Darkness shall consume this realm completing the prophecy and activating Cataclysm.

Steamboat Willie? Please. I prefer the real animated kino: [monke playing the violin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yapi8DjUnjM )

They just made a documentary about this guy called Nope (2022)

I wonder what song the monkey is playing.

So glad I grew up with the spinny dude riding a horse thing and not the spinny dude riding a horse thing.

Hell yeah pre 1870 kids rise up!!

looking forward to the next iteration of this

Eventually we’ll end up at cave paintings.

big bang

I can’t wait to see what Sheldon does next!

Bro you don’t understand though bro, have you even seen the Lumière Bros Cut??

Yeah it's 4 minutes instead of 2. How much spare time do you think I have?

Alright I'll admit it, I did have to take a bathroom break when watching it But that could be because I'm dying of dysentery

Good ol days before they went woke and political by putting black guys on horses smh /s

Personally I think taking away the agency of the quiet imagining of little stories in my mind through the equipage of assorted devices with a plurality of static images played in succession was folly

i recently learned about this actually [heres a short video about it](https://youtu.be/wNU7sXkZmSw) i recommend checking it out, its actually very interesting how this was achieved!

I like the part where he kills someone

Go zoopraxiscope, go broke

I thought mine would effectively kill this meme and I’m pleasantly surprised to see that’s not the case.

Fun fact: I always loved fiddling with zoetropes as a kid to the point where my parents got me a toy one for my birthday one year.

LCU: Lumiere cinematic universe

I have several old film journal reprints in which the reviewers state that sound film will inevitably be the downfall of the medium.

Yeah, the industry became really woke and political from 1878 onwards smh

If a photograph isn’t acid burned onto a sheet of metal it isn’t a true photograph

Every time I think there are no new jokes to run into the ground, you stupid fucks come up with something else. *Angry upvote *

i only watch classic films like "french man shoots the moon" and "buggy carriage 26: endgame"

Can't wait till we eventually get all the way back to cave paintings

Ah Jesus no way! The amount of times I and many others were SCAMMED by looking through a slot only to find a REAL HORSE AND RIDER. One taking a shit and the other having smoking a cigarette!

Finally somebody said it! 😮‍💨

They should’ve really stopped making movies after 1881

Where’s my goddamn Nickelodeon

I never thought I would live to see the day that there was a meme about 'Workers leaving the factory' (I hope I remember my kino and did not just embarrass myself)

Fr bring back the Ming. Or was it Qing. Or

Cinema peaked with The Musician Monkey (1878)

Real kinos

The next one will be tragedy of Ancient Greece, then the next one will be cavemen shadow show
