1899 - Tumblr Posts
my kid brother showed me a 1899 short film called "Stealing a Dinner" if any of yall are curious to go watch it (warnings for fake gun, police reference, and sort of animal abuse)
An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked "Philippines 1942". Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)
Cannot believe they took 1899 from us. We are an era where shows that are not instant hit are being massively cancelled instead of giving them of a chance. Dark was a hit after a while and it became for many the best show on the platform. 1899 needed the same time. It had the potential to have the Dark effect, it was in the top 10 most watched for weeks.
I don't think the show will be picked up or sold, Netflix owns it. Fuck them. Fuck this system. Spread some 1899 love.

The Brain is just the weight of God —
For — Heft them — Pound for Pound —
And they will differ — if they do —

And yet again, I am being drawn to a mysterious, miserable-looking, but ridiculously handsome fictional character, who knows more than he lets on.
Main features:
• Arrives to the scene all mysterious, intense and looking suspicious.
• Usually looks either dirty or wet from his travels (through some tunnels, for example).
• Sad, sad eyes.
• Is in a good shape, but you can't tell from all the layers of clothes he's wearing.
• Looks like he could kill you, but is actually a cinnamon roll.
• Somehow is a definition of "that man is so fine".
• Does that "Demi Moore teardrop from one eye", that is absolutely heartbreaking and you can't help but feel for them.
• Tirelessly tries to find a loophole and break this circle of suffering, in order to save the woman he loves so devotedly, even though she doesn't recognise him as first.
• Is seen to be using 3 "artifacts": a futuristic light (for the time), a mostly analogue device, that is also sort of "out of place", and a little something to guide the way.
If you've seen him, call me:

As you've probably heard, "1899" has been cancelled on Jan 2nd, 2023.
It's tragic, but there is a chance something can be done about it.
Please sign this petition to save "1899"!
Bo&Jantje put their souls to this project, and so did all of the cast and crew. It's a shame that Netflix have chosen to cancel it, not seeing the show what it is, a wonderful mind-twisting cinematographic masterpiece with a strong scenario.
Let's support their work. They deserve better. Every member of the cast and crew deserve better. And we, as the fans, deserve to get some answers, to enjoy another season or two of this amazing TV series.
Please sign the petition. We have to save it.
