The 8th May - Ian Price's birthday has rolled around again. A couple of clips from some of the older stuff. Tee hee.
Paramount Pictures is celebrating its centenary today.
Paramount Pictures can trace its
beginning to the creation on the 8th May
1912 of the Famous Players Film Company. Founder Hungarian-born Adolph Zukor,
who had been an early investor in nickelodeons, saw that movies appealed mainly
to working-class immigrants. With partners Daniel Frohman and Charles Frohman
he planned to offer feature-length films that would appeal to the middle class
by featuring the leading theatrical players of the time (leading to the slogan
"Famous Players in Famous Plays"). By mid-1913, Famous Players had
completed five films, and Zukor was on his way to success.
It appears that I missed out an
important event on the 5th May 2012. Goals
from Michail Antonio and Nile Ranger helped Sheffield Wednesday easily beat
Wycombe to win automatic promotion back to the Championship. On this topic, I
find it hard to comment. The manager Dave Jones apparently commented: "It
was hard earned. We were a bit nervous, but the goal settled us and I told them
it's their time if they want it badly enough and they did.”
I assume this is significant.
