(1,248 posts)17. Lost Cause and Colorization
Ted Turner wanted to make a trilogy about the Civil War.
He only made two movies: Gettysburg and Gods and Generals.
The last film was never made due to poor box office of Gods and Generals.
The film was criticized by some for promoting "Lost Cause"
Not to mention him colorizing classic B&W films.
Many of the classic B&W films were made by immigrants from Europe and were influenced by German expressionism.
Some American directors, like John Ford, were influenced by German expressionism.
To colorize those films loses something.
Ted Turner and his colorization was spoofed in Gremlins 2.

That is a tiny piece of the story. He did do a lot of good for conservation. You should educate yourself.

How about you stop arguing about a point with which I have repeatedly stated that we agree?

Thanks. I'm heading to our island home away from home. Not looking forward to $8 gallon gas.

The sad part is that I can head to the islands, but I can't escape the monsters.

Why does someone always have to come and shit all over a thread recognizing someone who's passed?
