Alla Nazimova as the title character in her screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s Salomé, 1923. John Coulthart writes: “Nazimova inaugurated the project, produced it and even part-financed it since the studios, increasingly worried by pressure from moral campaigners, regarded it as a dangerously decadent work. Nazimova had a rather colourful off-screen life and the stories of orgiastic revels at her mansion, the Garden of Allah, probably didn’t help matters.”

Architectural Tetris! Copy below from Flavorwire:

“Designer-in-training Sergej Hein animated this entertaining parody of Soviet Bloc architecture, filtered through the early ’90s pop culture touchstone Tetris. Hein, who grew up in Riga and later East Berlin, explains, ‘They used to build cheap housing for workers…. These “blocks” were so similar that in Soviet times, you could easily wake up at a friend’s place in another city and still feel like you are in your flat. Even the furniture was the same.’”


I would tell them to go to hell. That’s a question I will not tolerate…. If they can’t handle it, go home. Or wet your pants. Do whatever you like.
