I'd love to start my own adventuring hesit club, but I just don't have access to grappling hooks or rope ...

Will H. Hays is not amused by mass-druggings, and provocative, form-fitting catsuits ...

@analgesicsleep Really spectacular proto-noir! Wish the inspiration didn't come about the way it did, but really glad you selected them in any case! 😁👍📼

Violent shenanigans by a rogue's gallery of shady folks after a heist taking place a warehouse / garage ... now I see where Tarantino gets it ...

Know they played it rather recently, but crossing my fingers that the TCM Imports and Silent Sunday Nights folks can collaborate on a Les Vampyres / Irma Vep double-feature feature one of these days ...

@analgesicsleep These 20s adventure thriller films really know how to deliver with a secret room too!

The Les Vampyres group are definitely my preferred archetype for a cinematic crimanal crew! I mean the Rat Pack folks listening to jazz and swirling martinis and talking breaking into vaults is great and all, but they're so polished. Nice to see some scrappers in page boy caps and catsuits pulling themselves up by their bootstraps!

While there are some obvious Film Noir thematic overlaps and archetypes in the Les Vampyes series, all of these gentlemen are wearing bowler caps and not fedoras; not a noir!

When one types "Les Vampyres" into Google, one of the first "People Also Aked" questions is "Is Irma Vep based on a true story?", which I find mild depressing, but not as depressing as typing in Oppenheimer and seeing "Is 'Oppenheimer' a sequel to 'Tenet'?"

@analgesicsleep 🤣 The existence of French Keystone Cops now has me wondering if there was a French Little Tramp running around Paris in the 20s!

I was going to say, "I wonder how Mike Hammer would handle this mystery?" but we all know the answer is punch people in the face and continue doing so until the mystery is somehow solved ...

Shots of newspaper articles has to be my favorite for of silent film exposition. Now days, you have to get fictional expositionsry news broadcasts from actual journalists from whatever cable news company is owned by the parent company, and it's a huge hassle ...
