On June 8 1949, George Orwell's novel 1984 was published, giving us the all-seeing leader Big Brother, who became a symbol for intrusive government where all citizens are watched constantly. The book inspired a movie with Richard Burton and David Bowie's rock opera Diamond Dogs.

@larwoolf @JoelleLosfeld @holdengraber @LiteratiMagzine @Decervelage @Tribe_XX @josavigneau @RealSardonicus That's interesting, because Marquis De Sade wrote The 120 Days of Sodom (later the Pasolini movie Salo) on a scroll while imprisoned in the Bastille. He drafted it in tiny writing on a continuous roll of paper smuggled into the prison and glued together.

#BOTD: Ridley Scott (1937), a director with a stunning visual style that helped produced amazing films like the horror classic Alien, the neo-noir sci fi thriller Blade Runner, the fantasy adventure of Legend, and his great road trip adventure Thelma & Louise.

#OTD: in 1952, one of the greatest musicals ever, Singin' in the Rain, premieres at Radio City Music Hall. Directed and choreographed by #GeneKelly and #StanleyDonen, with Kelly starring along with Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds, this is among the best feel-good movies ever.
