The 1931 original is better as far as clarity of story and adherence to the source material... But the Bogie one has Bogie.

This makes sense when you realize that in 2016 the attention economy reoriented fully to The Influencer Spectacle paradigm and away from the Enlightenment Meritocratic paradigm of competence and reasoned civic mindedness.
Wonky types have been slow to adapt to this new normal.

It's inspiring to see others share their experiments and progress, and plain refreshing to see traditional media like paper and pencils. Thanks for this!

I've yet to see a movie where a carefully planned heist is foiled because one of the accomplices phone decided to update the OS at the wrong moment and another one got locked out of her scheduling app because of a wrong password.
This is the reality I know and I want to see it reflected.

They don't need people to believe it... They just need people to talk about it.

It's not a mystery. They recognize that the Media expects a level of decorum and isn't designed to challenge outright lies.
Therefore they just use schoolyard bully tactics of saying the opposite of what is true, comfortable in the understanding that they will be signal boosted and unchallenged.

What's crazy is that people think the old logo is a pre-civil rights good old boy next to a traditional ale barrel but it's actually a photo of my lesbian aunt on her Appalachian homestead with either a barrel of brine pickles or humanure compost.

25 years ago I was absolutely texting potential romantic partners on AIM. In-between playing Action Quake on DSL and listening to 'Deepest Bluest' by LL Cool J.
If I were married then this would have absolutely ended it

Millennial Elder Statesman here to say I still have a pair of Abercrombie parachute pants from 1998 and when skinny jeans were en vogue I stayed boot-cut and straight leg.

The fact that only a niche, very online group of people even resonate with your critique simply underscores how far gone we are.
There is no class consciousness in this country. People's psyches are numb to the injustice of their relative positions in a culture of excess.
We're all cowed.

What a shame. The Grand Canyon Lodge was a very special place. I'm hoping the resources are allocated to replicate what was lost in one way or another.

Exactly. 'Cancel Culture' was never anything but a tactic to sabotage the voicing of legitimate criticisms and genuine concerns by framing them as exaggerated or excessive in service to some (usually 'Liberal') agenda.
