SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Omega;1117813As far back as the 1914s actors were being credited, least the main ones. But some I've seen from the 20s did not. I think that in some cases the credits were actually on stage cards or pamphlets handed out. Hence why they werent on screen. And the musician wasnt credited because well. Hes that guy sitting over there at the piano in the theater providing the music. :cool:

I'm going by Wikipedia, which can be risky (lots of citation needed, but a reference to Mary Pickford being known only as the "Biograph girl" from her biography) but this looks reasonable. Clearly the early days are before 1914, anyway.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;1117745Compare the 1-2' credits as the opening of movies fifty years ago vs the 8-12' of credits after a movie today.

Which is why Apocalypse Now will always be one of my favorite films: no credits at all!
Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace
