Yep. Among other roles, she played Miss Bianca in both Rescuers films. Your turn Arvens.

That's the only way I knew her.

One of this American company's global products is named Opel.

General Motors, no doubt!
There were strong protests over here, because GM intends to fire several 1000 workers in their Opel factories in Bochum (our nabour town where I attend university). Opel is a car producer.

Your turn Malte

Well, Arvens didn't confirm my answer, but I'm certain enough about it to post the next question anyway:
Exactly 90 years ago, on February 8th 1915 a movie was released in the United States which was the first movie that covered a whole evening (it lasts about 3 hours). The movie deals with a part of the American history, but the content is "questionable" to say the least.
Please give the title of the movie and (if you want a special cheer) the alternative title which was discarded, as it showed too obviously the "political message" of the movie.

It deals with The Reconstuction and specifically the rise of the KKK.

You are talking of the same movie I'm talking of. It also covers the time of the Civil War.
I watched the movie very recently (in the University Library) and I was a bit surprised that it was "permited".

Nick22 · **Reply #227 on:** February 08, 2005, 03:54:59 PM

The Glory of thier Times' I think Is the name of the Title.

Malte279 · **Reply #228 on:** February 08, 2005, 05:09:41 PM

Nope. None of these words is included in the title.

Nick22 · **Reply #229 on:** February 08, 2005, 05:12:16 PM

I've heard of it i just can't remember the title <_<
I give up :angry:
Nick

Malte279 · **Reply #230 on:** February 08, 2005, 05:17:43 PM

Don't give up too quickly. It was made by D.W. Griffith. One should easily find the title at google if you search for this name and a few keywords about the movie's content.
Don't look at me so angrily

Petrie · **Reply #231 on:** February 08, 2005, 05:25:23 PM

(It's up at the beginning of the page, but yes, Malte did answer mine right; its General Motors)

Heh, don't take the " :angry: " too seriously Malte....he's just frustrated he couldn't find an answer. I got that from him in one of the role play sections too and it's nothing personal.

Nick22 · **Reply #232 on:** February 08, 2005, 05:25:30 PM

"The Birth Of a Nation"
I meant to put in the sad emoticon, but angry one appeared. No hard feeling meant Malte.

Oops...guess my reply somehow didn't appear before yours. :huh:

Nick22 · **Reply #234 on:** February 08, 2005, 05:43:51 PM

Must be due to the time difference between your location and mine.
Nick

Malte279 · **Reply #235 on:** February 08, 2005, 07:10:39 PM

"Birth of a Nation" is correct Nick. I was quite surprised when I watched it, for parts of it are quite obvious a falsification of historic facts, some of which are so absurd that it is almost funny again if it wasn't so racialist. Still with the appropriate distance the movie is an interesting historical source.

Your turn Nick

Nick22 · **Reply #236 on:** February 08, 2005, 07:11:40 PM

Hmm. Let me think Of a question..
Nick

Nick22 · **Reply #237 on:** February 17, 2005, 10:40:30 AM

What was the name of the first Film shot by Edison?
Nick

Malte279 · **Reply #238 on:** March 02, 2005, 02:09:27 PM

The Widow Jones (1896)? He did shot movies prior to that, but I don't know of any of them having a title.

Nick22 · **Reply #239 on:** March 02, 2005, 02:34:28 PM

'The Kiss' was filmed in 1895 . It lasted for all of 13 seconds.
