Alas, UN headquarters hadn’t been built yet, so we couldn’t watch it being destroyed

September 14, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

AndYouCallYourselfAScientist has the scoop on the “lost” 1932 film Deluge, a foreign print of which has recently been discovered:

Fowler, like many in the post-WWI era, was profoundly suspicious of the industrial complex, which he regarded as responsible for much of that conflict; but it did not stop there: he was also deeply hostile to the whole concept of “civilisation”, upon which he blamed what he regarded as the degeneration of the human race. He was similarly against “progress”, and against “science”, and against “the law”, and against—-well, evidently there was very little in existence during the 1920s that Fowler was not against, although his two main specific bugbears seem to have been the motor car and the idea of birth control.
