New Jersey: birthplace of cinema.
Specifically, West Orange, New Jersey, birthplace of Today’s Winner.In just 108 years, New Jersey cinema has progressed from this to this.Though I try to stay away from Wikipedia links, the Edison’s Black Maria article is a good example of the kind of thing Jimmy Wales and company routinely knock out of the park.Concise, yet suggestive, and chock full of interesting mystery.
How on earth is it that we haven’t had a Thomas Edison biopic in seventy years?An eight-part HBO miniseries seems about right.Even in 1940 MGM needed two movies with two different actors, Mickey Rooney and Spencer Tracy, to begin to tell the story.
I see Edward Norton as the star, or perhaps John Cusack.
