After about 2 and a half years, got a nice surprise yesterday: the George Méliès book and postcards, done by his family via kickstarter. Surely a nice read for Spring or Summer #VFX #movies #GeorgeMelies #EarlyCinema

Indeed, #GeorgeMelies would have known how to make a #theFlash film much better than whoever directed this one.
I realize I could look up the director, but isn't it kinder to let his participation in that piece of garbage be forgotten?
