Trying to become more of a movie snob. Looking for recommendations on the history and evolution of film and cinema. A general history is fine but I’d also like deep dives into specific genres. Like a history and analysis of the Horror genre in film and so on

Also I would like recommendations of a examination of politics and social issues being demonstrated within comic books if that’s a thing.

Being October I' like to Recommend anything by HP Lovecraft. Almost done with a big collection of his I bought recenty. Start with Dagon if you're interested and haven't read him before.

I finally finished reading Chivalry and Violence in Medieval Europe by Richard Kaeuper just yesterday. It's a fascinating read, as Kaeuper attempts to unweave the complicated truth that Chivalry was a paradoxical ideal that both caused violence (as it encouraged knights to respond violently to slights on their honor) and yet also sometimes attempted to restrain and redirect violence.

The book both analyzes chivalric romances and also the biographies of real knights such as William Marshal and Geoffroi de Charny. I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in the culture of the Middle Ages.

“The Swerve” is a great read about a huge pivot point in the history of modern science.

I'm pretty sure that photo was proven to be taken years before she disappeared.

It's not her, apparently.

There are reports, credible or not IDK, of various short wave radio operators around the world hearing a last emergency broadcast from the pair.

Can’t remember where I saw an article, but Google can probably find it.

Any recommendations for books about the North during Reconstruction?

So sad poor woman went missing and never found I always wondered what actually happened to her

Palm reading is garbage. A worthless sham.

I've been reading "Kitchen Confidential", is that too recent?

She had made several solo trips prior to this, which may be the reason you're mixing things up. When she went on the trip around the world she needed a navigator as there's a lot more to figure out with the larger amount of territory to cover.

Did anything come of that photo allegedly showing Amelia next to Japanese military officials?

I understand that, I think she was the head pilot and more famous aviator. I hope someday we can find their plane

Do you know where I could find this? I was hoping with the improvements in tech we could solve this mystery once and for all.

Off topic but have you ever heard of the cave found in Vietnam that’s miles long underground and is believed to be the biggest cave on earth? Nat geo apparently mapped it digitally and you can virtually tour it since the government there only lets 1000 or so people go in thr cave per year. Apparently it has its own ecosystem and weather.

I only recently found out that she was travelling with a navigator, Fred Noonan. I'd always thought she was flying solo.

They are really great. It's called "Overheard" because it's often talking to people who work for nat geo in some capacity, often adventure/nature/war photographers and writers. Super interesting to hear their stories about their job rather than just the stories they write.
