I introduced myself to Dr. Sundquist, usually I greet Dr. Elaine Phillips after church service

by Scott Lord on Silent Film, Scott Lord on Mystery Film
While Donna was busy in the library, I very awkwardly introduced myself to President of Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, and after years and years of living in Boston I really said something like 'are you whom I think' while telling him that I had seen his books and had always looked forward to meeting him- all of which was ok, but honestly, I probably just hadn't had had coffee... Usually Dr. Elaine Phillips is here and does answer questions about Scripture occaisionally.

A visit from Dr. Scott Sunquist, usually I greet Dr. Elaine Phillips between services

by Scott Lord on Silent Film, Scott Lord on Mystery Film
Dr. Sunquist smiled enthusiaticly when I showed him my copy of his student writing in the student magazine "Debarim" published by Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary, of which he is now President. I asked him if there was always a methodology to Apologetics, to which he seemed to nod in the affirmative. His paper was on Arnobius of Sicca, who wrote "Against the Nations"., the methodology of Apologetics, and apparently the Astarte-Venus cult.

Our apartment on location: trailer for Hollywood film, but will it?

Cambridge, Massachusetts Our apartment and his sunglasses were at first thought to be are in the same shot, but this is only the trailer. During the on location shooting we did not see Depp, but did see the film crews at work.



The interior monologue of a method actor. I looked at the trailer again, and I don't know that the location shot used in the particular scene is the one that was filmed where we are. It is very much like the shot, but the building used in this instance seems different. It was part of location filming a could still be in the final version of the film.

Scott Lord Silent Film: Blood and Sand (Niblo, 1922)

by noreply@blogger.com (Scott Lord on Silent Film, Scott Lord on Mystery Film)


With a photoplay by June Mathis, "Blood and Sand", directed in 1922 by Fred Niblo, showcased Rudolph Valentino with Lila Lee, Nita Naldi and Rose Rosanova. The nine reel film was photographed by cinematographer Alvin Wyckoff; Fred Niblo and photographer Alvin Wyckoff were teamed again the following year for a comedy starring Barbara La Marr and Enid Bennett titled "Strangers in the Night", a film which is presumed lost with no existing surviving copies.
Author Peter Cowie, in his volume EIghty Years of Cinema, described "Blood and Sand" as "Stagebound and tearjerking".

FIVE ALL NIGHT-Truly Great Entertainment



When I had my Super Eight projector, the Universal films were split into two channels. The Basil Rathbone Nigel Bruce, Warner Oland and Peter Lorre detective films were on an independent channel and the Universal Horror films were on one of the three network stations.

This intro to the film I remember and would have always wanted to have my own slot. Please enjoy this splice (ie. clip) of"my first professor", whose residence for his artistry was as host of classic horror film on the "late night double feature picture show" in Boston.

scottlordpoet shared this story from Scott Lord.

The library, built in 1809, is beautiful.
These two botttom photographs in particular were taken from behnd Donna's desk from where she checks in books with a scanner and removes the checkout cards. I discussed theology with a new minister today explaining to him that he was the eighth minster I have had a rapport with and that my questions are more precise after a decade. There have been ten or eleven I have known since attending. Scott Lord
