This handsome man, Louis Le Prince, invented the motion picture years before Edison or those Lumière phonies.
In 1888 he made the first two movies ever.

All that was left to secure his name in the history books was to travel to New York where he would demonstrate his invention and file a patent. He boarded a train to begin his journey. He never got off the train. No trace of him was ever found.
More than a century later nobody knows what happened to him, except everyone totally knows what happened to him. Edison had him killed. He knew that if Le Prince ever made it to New York, the race to invent the movies would be lost.
LOOK IT UP, SHEEPLE
This thread is for discussing how Edison is a huge pile of shit. Or just talking about some movies you saw.

it happened to one of Seattle's mayors, while he was in office
...go on
Thomas Edison is the powerful head of a league of assassins and spies that he unleashes on any inventor or innovator clever enough to be perceived as a threat to his dominance. Many have fallen to his hit squad throughout the years, until a rag-tag group of heroes rise up to topple the Kingpin of Innovation following a near miss assassination of Nikola Tesla. The group is led by Walt Whitman who brings Tesla into the fold, and it gradually recruits an alliance of artists, poets, and scientists, including Allen Ginsberg, William Carlos Williams, Lewis Latimer (who is the "inside man" in Edison's cabal), and the Wizard of Schenectady himself, Charles Proteus Steinmetz (played by Peter Dinklage, naturally).

But not bad
I mean, the whole crux of someone disappearing without a trace is you kind of can't
Thomas Minor, for whom Minor Ave is named, mayor from 1887-8
he went on a canoe trip with a friend and never came back
it's assumed they drowned but nobody knows for sure
also: he was a half-brother to William Minor, who was one of the most prolific contributors to the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary, and also quite insane (there's a book about him and the dictionary called The Professor and the Madman, I strongly recommend it)
It has Sean Penn and Mel Gibson...…
That scene at the end.
edit: just got to the last scene. Nope, no longer torn. I'm out.
When this movie was announced I was very enthusiastic about it.
Not anymore.
that kind of went in the worst possible direction for that premise.
LAUGH ASSHOLES

Because I hate myself apparently
I think i remember that one being..ok? Yeah i remember it now. It's not bad.
Maybe that's just the trailer and the actual movie shapes up better
The entire audience laughed super hard at that scene when it was on in front of the Deadpool 2 show I went to last night.
So far it's just boring.
That was it's sin, yeah.
I think it might start picking up a little now. Maybe the second half will be better.
This causes me unimaginable sadness.
but actually seeing it is....a bit much
