Kagemusha and later Kurosawa films might not have existed without George Lucas and Francis Coppola's funding. I also forgot that Kurosawa did storyboarding art which was given to them.

You can also see Jim Henson influencing the movies George Lucas was making around this time.

Rarest Mario game? (tldr: so no, it's not Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hgeCfgyda4&t=29s
I would have assumed it was the Super Mario All Night Nippon of FDS, and it turns out I'm correct, as only 3040 copies were given out by the radio show https://mario.fandom.com/wiki/All_Night ... Fuji%20TV. ) But they also made the error of assuming the Switch console game sales reflect the DS console, which sold millions of copies. . . So the 100,000 were just because it was overlooked by the time it sold for Switch, and I just now noticed it even existed despite likely having a copy of the rom somewhere, which I never got around to despite it looking strangely similar to Super Mario RPG.





Another rare promo vhs is Super Mario RPG which has uncompressed early beta renditions (even though it's in mono audio, it sounds vastly different from what would ultimately become the midi audio in the cartridge, which was already stretching the storage capabilities.)

Weird ads like the 22:45 second one for Federated Superstores seems strangely similar how Dennis Hopper (who famously was encouraged to use cocaine when performing for the role) in Apocalypse Now.

This is really weird: Doral, FL (location of Pentagon Southern Command and a Trump National Doral Hotel,) coincidentally is also used to scam people?




Seems they really aren't from Doral, though have freight forwarders that ship the crap off to (probably Africa) other countries.

I suspect a lot of the corruption of the forwarding companies comes from how the military industrial complex operates, in addition to how people in the military influenced how scammers begin to operate (by imitating what they see overseas.)

Also, a conflict of interest exists within our government and how they defense contractors exploit the tax payer.

The fact that the Pentagon southern division is within the same city doesn't surprise me, about either the clear incompetence of our government, or the complicity with which they turn a blind eye to what's going on around them.

Some of it kind of rings true when you consider what he likely did to his brother (though it was more like a psyop where the women were told they were involved in a game show and were doing a prank on a target, and seemed to really believe it. I wouldn't be surprised if Russia assisted Un in how to carry it out.)

Prime Cut (Michael Ritchie, 1972) Lee Marvin, Gene Hackman, Sissy Spacek


Another of his Lee Marvin's films (Directed by John Boorman) is Point Blank (1967) which some compare a bit to Six Sense or a dreamlike death sequence (where Lee Marvin's character was shot and dying while they took his half of his robbery money, but it's suggested by some of the events in the movie that he might have only been imagining revenge and how his absence would affect things, as well as suggest the stilted dialogue was merely an echo of his thoughts being repeated verbatim.) It's as though he was engaged similarly to Bruce Willis's wife in the Sixth Sense movie, where you think he's interacting with her, but it's an echo of his presence and her thinking about him, as well as himself remembering the chain of events and coming to realization. The Ghost movie might also have showed similar sentiment.

I tend to think any official acknowledgment by our government would contradict what is currently known about physics and how our society operates from a theological perspective or merely existential ennui.

Even when relatively familiar with the topic it circumvents any rationalization and seems to fall into the category of whether or not we can begin to comprehend the reality of the phenomenon.

One theory that has been seriously discussed by academics is we are in a 2D projection of a 3D 'Holographic Principle' (ergo David Grusch's reference when talking to Congress) is that dark matter physics (ergo Stephen Hawking predicting black holes had the least amount of "information loss" due to singularity of cosmic forces; rather than destroying all matter it instead has very little "information" destroyed and is encoded like the emulsion behind a film strip transferring that moment onto that reverse surface) and that perhaps our civilization was imparted some idea of aspects of a fractal cosmological framework which exists on the precipice of an event horizon as a 2D imprint (so perhaps in some weird way we are living on a "flat earth" 3D holographic 2D imprint where all time exists simultaneously) and it's just some simulacrum of a temporal framework of our immediate engram of that encoded information, merely being recycled back into the transference of that experience?

It's easy to think of 2001: A Space Odyssey and the ending sequence.

This abandoned mall was local to me (I probably hadn't been in it since the early 1990s) but it has since been demolished.

They seem to have had an abandoned patrol car inside the place, as well as in the video they show a fucking fishing boat stranded in the food court wall that has since been demolished, looking over a section of the building looking out over the parking lot.



Another sub: Deadmalls

Kane Pixels records and adds stuff to videos (I haven't watched it yet?) which happened to have this mall when it was still semi-functional.
