Berry Gordy Jr. and Suzanne de Passe. ("classic.motown.com" and "facebook.com") … How the start of Motown’s next, bold era is often simplified. Often, it’s simply put as [Berry] Gordy having always had his idea and simply done it. As it usually is, however, the truth is far more complicated...

A short introduction before we get started: My name is Vee, and my first attempt at a timeline was an adject failure by virtually all standards. I entered into it with little preparation and quickly felt overwhelmed and abandoned it, but I never stopped thinking about what it could have been...

There was a surprising amount of creative freedom in late 1920s and early 1930s Hollywood. While the content itself is mostly rather tame by today's standards, it can still be surprising to see Golden Age movies with that sort of thing. To give a few examples, Little Caesar is about a gangster...

This idea came up to me after my last post on this thread of mine. I figured then if I couldn't get rid of age ratings, then I can at the very least create one that is actually noble in it's cause; hence the AFRC. The American Film Rating Council is founded by Charles Capil in 1915. Unlike most...
