I ran across your website and thought I'd invite you come join a social network I started for classic movie fans. It's called The Golden Age of Hollywood. It's an offshoot of a message board I help run that discusses classic films. Because sites like MySpace and Facebook are so popular we decided to venture out with this new website similar to both but exclusive to fans of classic movies. I think you would really like it and also meet some fans with similar interests. Here is the address:

Hope to see you there and if you join add me as a friend will ya?

I came across this site for the strange reason that a character in the video-game System Shock 2 (1999) was inspired by Louise Brooks. Bet you didn't know this! ;)
Here's where I learned about it:
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1193847#post1193847
There's only a small drawing of her in the game. If you'd like to take a look at it, it's here:
http://www.schwarzsilber.de/phpBB2/avatars/sshock2/BLOOME.gif
Within the game she's known as "Nurse Bloome" or "Erin Bloome" btw.
As it is a horror game she gets converted into a mindless female mutant with mechanical legs by a doctor who's mutated himself. She's designed to nurse some alien eggs.
I guess these two logs from the game sum up her story:
by MARC MILLER / on HYDROPONICS / subject NURSE BLOOME
"I've chosen Nurse Bloome as the new mother to our children. She is sweet and kind, healthy and a perfect match. She has a child of her own back on Earth. She knows what it is to care for the young. Ave Maria. If she only knew what the future held... she'd share the joys of the Many..."
by ERIN BLOOME / on HYDROPONICS / subject WORRIED
"I found these schematics on Dr. Miller's desk... they're plans for the kind of cyber modification that's been illegal for forty years... that's not like him... I was going to talk to him about it and then I noticed... the DNA sequence he spec'd for the prototype... it's mine..."
Oh and since I'm German I'd like to point out that:
"Die Buschse Der Pandora" as it's spelled on your page isn't completely correct. It should read:
"Die Büchse der Pandora"
One more thing: When I read that part about how eleven year olds shouldn't fall for 1920s film stars I was ROFL =)
It reminded me so of myself.
Anyway, keep up the good work.
Cheers, Kolya

One morning in 1929, Lotte H. Eisner - a film critic - went to watch G. W. Pabst making 'Diary of a Lost Girl' in a studio on the outskirts of Berlin. On the set Pabst introduced Eisner to 'a young American woman of fascinating beauty who was sitting there reading. Incredibly, what this beautiful young woman was reading was a translation of 'Essays and Aphorisms' by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer'. This young American woman was, of course, Louise Brooks who was not only fascinatingly beautiful but extremely erudite as well. That Louise Brooks was a life-long admirer of Schopenhauer is evident from the fact that the writer Kenneth Tynan noticed a book of this philosopher's writings in her room in Rochester when he went to interview her there in 1979. Now, there is a piece in Schopenhauer's 'Essays and Aphorisms' which Louise Brooks would have read and no doubt approved of. Here it is: 'With the exception of the beautiful, good-natured or intelligent faces - with the exception, that is, of a very few, rare faces - I believe every new face will usually arouse in a person of finer feeling a sensation akin to terror, since it presents the disagreeable in a new and surprising combination. As a rule, it is in truth a sorry sight. There are even some upon whose face there is imprinted such naive vulgarity and lowness of character combined with such beast-like narrowness of mind that one wonders why they go around with such a face and do not rather wear a mask. Indeed, there are faces at the mere sight of which one feels polluted.' It goes without saying, that after beholding the exquisitely beautiful and intelligent visage of Louise Brooks one ought to follow Schopenhauer's wise advice and do the decent thing: namely, purchase a mask as soon as possible, wear it and do not dare to remove it all life-long.
