early days of motion pictures, from the 1890s through the 1920s, but 
faded out and went completely out of business by the 1930s.  Somebody 
with no apparent true connection with the original company went into 
business in the 1990s under that name (long after all of the original 
company's copyrights and trademarks had lapsed into the public 
domain), and is making questionable claims at being the legitimate 
continuer of the original company's tradition, along with some other 
wacky claims such as saying they have purchased land on the Moon on 
which they soon will be filming movies.

Of course, Wikipedia is "evil" because it fails to take all of this 
guy's claims at face value, and persists in having an article about 
the classic original company (which is legitimately notable in the 
early history of the movie industry) with only a brief paragraph 
noting the existence of an unrelated new company of the same name.

Naturally, this guy's claims and whines are getting a favorable 
reception over on Wikipedia Review, where they see no anti-Wikipedia 
rant they don't like.
