Old Movies 16mm old photographs and photography equipment seem to find me, I have loads of old prints and negatives as well as many rolls of 16 mm movies like you see here, it has always amazed me that these things get abandoned and I find them in flea markets and junk shops. don't have a clue why I still own them, shot in North Carolina.
Located north of Center City, the Richmond Power Generating Station (1924-25) was built and operated by the Philadelphia Electrical Company (PECO). Designed by Chief PECO engineer W.C.L Eglin and architect John Torrey Windrim, it has a Turbine Hall 125 feet high featuring an arched ceiling as the choice of Beaux-Arts Neoclassical designed deliberately chosen by PECO.
"It looks like the temple for steampunk." commented by Aaron Wunsch, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
With two of its four turbo-generator units installed and twelve of its 24 planned boilers put into place, the station was generating 100,000 kilowatts of electricity a year.
In 1935, a third unit rated at 165 MW (by Westinghouse) was installed; it was powered by two pulverized coal-fired boilers that gave it an effective rating of 135 MW.
In 1951, a fourth unit, rated at 185 MW was added; it ran at a steam pressure of 1200 psi (as opposed to 400 psi). Also, it was hydrogen-cooled instead of air-cooled like the other units.
Over time, technology, the environment, and politics changed, and this coal-fed behemoth was converted to gas with Philadelphia’s clean-air act in the 1970s. The station was ultimately retired in 1985, during a period when Philadelphia’s population, industry, and employment were at all-time lows.
Since this time, the historic buildings have been closed, though accessed occasionally as sets for movies like “Transformers 2” and “Twelve Monkeys” (how that psychotherapy was originated).

Have a great Easter Monday Y'all..:)
I love to go to movies. In a theatre with a crowd. The crowd is optional, but prefered...
I probably average one a week during the course of a year.
A FEW RANDOM THOUGHTS AND WORTHLESS OPINIONS...
I hate arriving late for a movie. If the show is about to start... be prepared to see something else or buy tickets for the next showing. "I'm very anal about this". The last time I walked into a darkened theatre was the final installment of "Star Wars". This was only because I had already seen it... I like to have my popcorn and be seated before the coming attractions... "coming attractions" ARE a part of the movie experience. Commercials, on the other hand, suck.
Jodie Foster is the only movie star who's films I go to just because she's in them.
Russell Crow is my favorite actor. I am still miffed that he did not win the Oscar for "A Beautiful Mind". A film which won "Best Picture", "Best Director", "Best S. Actress", and "Best Writing". All for a movie in which every scene surrounds his character. losing to Denzel Washington(a very good performance) in "Training Day"(an ok film)... so wrong.
... that said. I do think Halle Berry was brilliant in "Monster's Ball". The last ten minutes alone were worthy of an Oscar nomination. She had very little dialogue during this part of the film. The emotions were conveyed in her facial expressions and body language. "Simply amazing"
"As Good As It Gets" is that rare movie where I leave the theatre wishing the characters would just keep going... the only film since then to bring out this response in me was "Friends With Money". A movie for which I have yet to lend to anyone who liked it.

While I was exploring with friends and enjoying the impending sunrise, scenes from Batman vs. Superman were being filmed across the road at Michigan Central Station.

My Top 10 Favorite Movies at the moment to be exact. If you have followed me for a while, you might remember this: www.flickr.com/photos/99717434@N04/12554370323/
As you can see, quite a lot has changed since then, and movies that were in the top 5 were moved and or removed completely. This is due to me either having a change in taste or me simply seeing new movies since that photo.
These ranks are based on how much I enjoy the movie and how much I have watched each film. AND REMEMBER. These are my FAVORITE FILMS, not the best films ever made. These are just movies that I really enjoy.
I'll be going from Right to Left, starting with....
10. Watchmen: This movie gets a lot of hate, but I love it. Jackie Earl Haley is fantastic as Rorschach, Jeffery Dean Morgan is always a pleasure to see, and the whole film just looks great. Synder may not nail stories, but he can damn sure well make a movie look good. Also a huge fan of the soundtrack. This was moved from the top 5 for two reasons. I've watched some of these others movies a lot more since then, and I liked the other movies better than it, but it still holds a place on my top 10.
9. Guardians of The Galaxy: A surprise for me, this movie shocked me with how much I enjoyed it. Casting is great, movie looks great, but the main reason I love it so much is the soundtrack using the 70's music. Hence this, that's why it is only number 9.
8. The Big Lebowski: I've only seen it twice, but I love this movie so much. It's so damn quotable. Casting and acting in this is perfect. It's also pretty damn funny.
7. Django Unchained: Love Tarantino films. For many of the same reasons of Lebowski, the casting and acting is perfect, it has it's funny moments, it has its offensive moments, and it has its action moments. Just a really enjoyable and entertaining as hell film. It beats Lebowski only by a little, simply because I have watched it more than Lebowski.
6. The Dark Knight: While Bale is my least favorite Batman, Heath Ledger's Joker is what puts this movie on the list. Also love Gary Oldman and Aaron Eckhart in it. Just a fantastically shot, written, scored, and acted movie.
5. The Shawshank Redemption: Ironically, my 5th spot is the movie that I have seen the least on this list, only seeing it once all the way through, and then parts of it for all other viewings. But that's all it needed. This film is just fantastic. Just a great story of triumph and patience.
4. Ghostbusters (1984): It hurts me to have to put the year of the film considering that the trash heap coming out Friday shares the same name. I feel I don't talk about the og Ghostbusters enough, but I love it. You can't go wrong with Bill Murray, and the special effects and writing is great. Over the years as I have grown older and re watched it, I have really come to appreciate it more. And no, I will not be seeing the new "Ghostbusters".
3. Zootopia: If you haven't noticed, I've kind of gotten pulled in by this movie, and I don't really know why. On this list, it is my 3rd most watched, hence it being at 3. I've watched this movie maybe 7 or 8 times all the way through, and then a ton more times to just watch scenes. I'm not even a huge Disney fan, but this movie really hit me. The characters are so likable, the voice acting is on point, the animation is impressive and visually stunning. It also has some kickass references to the Godfather and Breaking Bad. Also, JK Simmons is in it. Can't go wrong with JK Simmons. I've been "made fun of" for liking this movie, and some of the "bullies" (for lack of a better word) have now bitten there tongue as they have seen the movie to, and took back the hate.
2. The Dark Knight Returns: Weird that my 2 and 3 spots are both animated films. Also funny that I have made a whole series of custom figures from each film at 2 and 3. I am considering Part 1 and 2 as one film, although each parts could easily count as there own movies. It's my favorite Batman story, and I love watching this movie. It may be animated, but it is not for kids. Peter Weller did great as Batman, and I also really liked Michael Emerson's Joker. Just an entertaining move that I have watched to many times to count.
1. Jaws: This will always be my #1 favorite film. I doubt it will ever change. I adore this film. Perfect casting, score, effects, writing, and direction. This movie is famously known for being a pain in the ass to make, and it was a better movie for it. People say "the shark looks fake", but I personally think it looks fine. For being made in the 70's, it's damn good. I grew up with this movie, and watched it over and over as a child. I even had it on VHS and had to rewind it over and over before I finally got it on DVD when I got older. The only part that bothered me was the part where Hooper goes into the shark cage. Hell, I wasn't even bothered at the part where the Ben Garner's dead corpse comes out of the side of the boat when Hooper is night diving. Despite this being my favorite film, I have still not made customs of the 3 main protagonist, but that might change soon. I cherish this film as one of my childhood favorites, and as I grew up watching it again, I came to appreciate and love it even more.
Also, here are some honorable mentions: Star Wars ESB, Transformers (2007), Ironman, Smokey and The Bandit, Back To The Future, and The Love Bug.
What do you think? What do you think of my personal favorite films? I know it's long, but it took time to write, so some feedback to what I have written would be greatly appreciated.
Is this 616 626 818 or what? I am out at the movies seeing myself on the big screen.
The Movie is over time to go home go on chow see you. Get that bloody camera out of here.
I am Marvel Jesus.

Time is moving strangely in this pandemic year. Do you remember how casually we all went to the movies with our friends and families just a few months ago? That was definitely another world and one I miss.
Few miles away from Ouarzazate lies Aït Benhaddou. The place was the location of many movies, such as Prince of Persia, Gladiator, Anthony and Cleopatra, The Mummy. The list is long.
As any place that shows such attractiveness, is full of people interested in being there.
It was a cold December day, with the sun just clearing the skies. When I was leaving, the busses start parking at the base of the hill.
