607. For Heaven’s Sake (1926)

*The Warlock opens the door to his lair holding a silver steen of Pepsi. He’s wearing a black leather jacket, Shady Records t-shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers and Gargoyle shades*

W: Welcome to my lair…..welcome i don’t think so, but enter. Enter my lair if you dare. I’m your host The Warlock.

*Warlock levitates before entering the lair*

W: Public Domain Week concludes with our seventh and final movie. In keeping with the theme all week, this will be the shortest movie of the week clocking in at just 55 minutes. Try getting away with a 55 minute movie these days. Unless you’ve been under a rock the past six days ill explain it one last time. Media entities in the public domain means there’s no copyright. I’ll be able to show the screen instead of my handsome mug because I can’t get hit with a copyright claim if there is no copyright.

*Warlock takes his seat in the middle of the couch*

W: Tonight’s movie will be the 1926 silent movie For Heaven’s Sake. A young millionaire falls for a minister’s daughter….which means no hanky panky for you! Will it be good? I hope so. If not, there’s only 55 minutes to sit through. So grab your popcorn, grab your drink and grab your woman because its time for For Heaven’s Sake.
