There are already Blessed Fulton Sheen icons, tshirts, stained glass images, etc., for sale on Etsy, but who will be the maker who sells boxes of chalk with this television icon's image on them?
Bill Higgins-- Beam Jockey@beamjockey.bsky.social · 4d agoI like this: In the new portrait of Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, the artist (who?) puts chalk in his hand, because his blackboard was the main tool in his TV evangelizing. Photo of the art by @jeffreybruno.bsky.social. Screengrab of a LIFE IS WORTH LIVING episode from @brownmediaarchives.bsky.social.
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was beatified today. If you are not familiar with him, you can watch a 1952 episode of his very popular tv show, LIFE IS WORTH LIVING, on our Kaltura page: kaltura.uga.edu/media/t/1_jj...

"Thinking Machines" from a 1970 UGA circulating films catalog. Readily viewable on @avgeeks.bsky.social YT channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-3e...
Old 16mm circulating prints are not always in great condition, but this one, "Little World," about a day care center in NYC in 1958, is in stunning condition for its age. The Eastman Rev film stock looks fabulous.

For all of film’s renewed presence at the center of Hollywood, every high-quality color reel for shooting and projecting is manufactured in one place. https://loom.ly/PnWFvB8
Nice Kin-O-Lux box and reel. The July 5 1946 date is a "process by" date and, judging by the wartime mostly-cardboard reel, the film was likely shot around 1944.
Another of the dreaded group of film treatments of the past.
“The Hollywood Ten” (1950) This short film was a direct appeal to the American people from the Hollywood Ten, writers and filmmakers who were imprisoned and blacklisted for refusing to answer questions about their alleged ties to the Communist Party. New on our YouTube channel: youtu.be/CCi-pYyKiFw

This is a very frightening prospect for truth telling now and into the future.
