The Achitect
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_Trumbauer
The guy was connected to Standard Oil (converting it to gasoline)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Lukens_Elkins
He only lived in it for 5 years, when he died, and it seems to have mostly been unoccupied for several decades prior to being taken over by these Catholic nuns.
https://web.archive.org/web/20121226002 ... cciop.org/
Perhaps the 45 rooms were fairly useful, though the amount of neglect the building had even once abandoned for only a decade, clearly showed how much the upkeep was to preserve it (and yet nearly the entirety of the interior is being scrapped to convert it into something different. . . So much for preservation?)

Re: What are you watching?
Watching some clips from Wargames (1983,) I was prompted to think of whether or not anyone could survive 2-3 miles of swimming unaided without drowning, even with knowledge of how to swim. (Alcatraz is about a mile from land according to satellite images though some say it's 15 miles??)
A ton of films/docs related to hacking.
A one I overlooked is called Sneakers (1992)
https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/sneakers
Wargames was still the usual cliche nonsense where they don't expect people to be familiar enough with the topic to be highly critical of how it's presented, though it was much closer to the possibility of how a hacker would bypass security by exploiting the social systems in place that reinforce security protocols (such as leaving a password accessible to those not permitted to use it.) It was much closer to the reality of people that have been caught.
And even rare IQ people seem to fall prey to exploitation and have their Facebook accounts hacked, where they set up a new one and some random spam bots start redirecting them in the comments of their new account, to consult with some random person on Twitter, and multiple similar spam bots will do the same en masse.
If you point out fake accounts to Facebook or the numerous people who think they are posting to some random Army General and "supporting the troops" (which if they were sensible they would know their stupidity of being sent to random shitstorm engagement with foreign military are not "supporting" anyone) the people will blindly stand behind and think nothing of why a random Army General who doesn't even have time to take photos (and only seems to post 8-10 year old stock photos available online) would start chatting it up with a European with broken English.
Between China and Africa it seems the internet is going to be hacked out of existence.

If Sneakers was a 1980s film it would more likely have been renamed Squeakers, involving Russian bioengineered rats that were weaponized to deliver lethal nerve agents. It turns out the Chinese were involved in chemical manufacturing, and it leads to WW3.
This is only funny if people recognize squeaker as a euphemism for fart.

Going back over some documentaries presenting the argument that Ukraine was the instigator of Crimean atrocities. (Most of this is copied from what I wrote to someone who spams my email and never wrote back)
Several videos discuss Ukraine's involvement wth the Crimea region, and evidently, things could have been handled better.
"Donbas: 8 years of war" - Documentary by French journalist Anne Laure Bonnel (2016) [EN-FR]
Someone argued the inequalities the west are known for are a byproduct of greed and crony capitalism, and I argue that much of it is inherent to any system of governing/corruption.
Perhaps true though it's not so blanketed as assuming it's a cause of (basically) financial corruption and racketeering unique to the west. As for how much money is printed by the Federal Reserve is backed by foreign loans, could be questioned. It's a bit like how China targets poor countries and then when they default on payments, they basically start taking over.
This book was written and published after Putin first invaded Crimea (2014,) and it highlights why he failed in Ukraine as result of autocratic leadership (2023.)
Putin's Kleptocracy: Who own's Russia book by Karen Dawisha
https://archive.org/details/Dawisha2014Putin
Armies and Autocrats: Why Putin’s Military Failed
https://www.journalofdemocracy.org/arti ... ry-failed/
Most all debts are basically I.O.U. loans using the USD and various properties as collateral, and the fiat system is propped up on perceived value in the "stock" of the US government, et al. The intellectual property (brands and technology designed in the US, which includes technology shared with Taiwan involving silicon chip manufacturing,) as well as military defense with shared nations, as well as future interest in business (which as you point out is largely a byproduct of greed from the US in cheap labor--hence when profit's drive motivation for production with covid policy, Apple closes for business in China, which is very similar to what Andrew Carnagie had with his union strike a century ago--and then the public relations any government will present is the illusion of charitable giving and coming to foreign aid (not unlike Russia or China when it wants to be perceived as "assisting" minorities or the perceived down-trodden; and likewise the USA uses such perception to drive "democracy" when it seeks to have it's presence known in areas that might negatively impact the long term goals in certain regions.)
Whether governments intend to give the work forces just enough leverage to keep them complacent with the illusion of choice in the matter, or it's merely smokescreen from the fallout of when governments are afraid of how they can maintain the image of power and prestige; a good example could be looked upon with profit driven educational and healthcare systems with attrociously bad standards when it comes to predatory practices, as likewise a government that requires an overreliance on the service sector to maintain any sense of normalcy can't be good for autonomy, since most all industries are being scooped up by big companies like Blackrock. And then you have CNBC promoting the allure of people that jump on the idea of buying up real estate to generate revenue and acquisition of property; and then you have a legal system that reinforces the "haves and the have nots" who choose to join the circus shit show.

This is one of two short cartoons (along with Beauty and the Beast)
The Top Gun Maverick movie has continuity errors, where it shows 'Rooster' (the child of Goose from Top Gun who died?) in the cockpit after they start a training mission, where they soon show him on the ground doing pushups (presumably having never left the tarmac because he was abrupt with Tom Cruise's character Maverick (partly because he was a bit of a dick for holding him back to Top Gun for 4 years?) and then as the scene in the air continues it ends with Rooster getting into some Boomber/Mellinial bromance contest of who can hold out the longest before getting trigger happy from all the oozing gayness, where he again returns to the tarmac and get's all homoerotic with anger?
Should he have only been doing pushups after getting shot down, if they clearly showed him in the air prior to the training exercise?
This movie is really shit, and not only would Ed Harris' have lost his Geritol at the beginning as Maverick was flying overhead, but the kinds of flight maneuvers being done by Maverick would have had him court-martialed for putting the training students in jeopardy. No where does the apparent reality of Maverick's achievement of achieving Mach 10 seem apparent, nor do they reveal the apparent severity of the explosion and ejecting in the middle of the air (the only reason he appears in the diner is because the studio is making the audience feel as though they are engaging with the movie, as they identify with the characters.) The movie is consumer-grade mindless porn. . .

I was just looking over 1966 Batman and though it's evident it's intentionally trying to be comical, I'm surprised at how absurd it is. I started looking into some of the old Superman movies and came across a few though found far more other movies that are public access.

Coppola seems to favor the Final Cut version which is just a rescan of the master film stock which models the Theatrical release.

I kind of like the Redux version, since it added something interesting (though it seems it takes away from the story arch.)
One of the films above (shown below) has Julian Sands (January 4, 1958-?) who has been missing since 13 January 2023 and is presumed dead.

Re: What are you watching?
Most of what they seem to be showing are chromatic aberrations and the weird way digital interprets visual data. Even without filters and other factors in recording, the lenses alone are known to not retain good details, especially when digital zoom is used.
Even in some of the shots such as 11:20, you can see a similar effect to the city lights below where the object is flying around.
I also "know" that ufos are flying above us and consider myself an 'Experiencer,' though I know that many people can fall into the trap of relying too much on the limitations of technology, and for a while the trend was in using uncollimated telescopes to interpret similar anomalies with stars, which people interpreted through the restrictions of the atmosphere, as somehow showing anomalies that weren't a bit like an inkblot/Rorschach test of cognitive biases. For some time I assumed that people who thought ufos or UAP phenomenon weren't trying to mimic our terrestrial air traffic were somehow "off" until I drove out to a light that wasn't stationary near an airport but rather was above a city nearby, and the object started to drift back over the area I came from and then on its own axis rotated and disappeared, not more than a 150-200 yards away.
So is it possible that the objects shown at the beginning of this video are a UAP phenomenon? Perhaps, though judging by how the camera picks up common city lights in the same color details shown, it's unlikely the colors are an accurate representation of the UFO and not lens flaws/designs.
UPDATE:
I should say that after watching it more, it does put together ideas that are worth checking into, whether you have doubts about what the footage is showing at the beginning, as it does tie together a hypothesis of bioelectric organisms which would tend to favor some concept popularized by Jacques Vallee and J Allen Hynek, regarding the Interdimensional Hypothesis. The video is just presenting ideas that perhaps we don't know, but that certain aspects could be similar to how the deep sea ocean finds communication possible, and that we could just be dealing with a new kind of organism (or if you consider the ocean, certain very small animals join together to form what becomes a much larger appearing organism that at first appears to be much larger.) If the universe itself is hypothesized to be conscious (and we are just observers that interact as part of one larger construct of that consciousness,) perhaps any lifeform could somehow operate in ways that collectively interact as though by some quantum entanglement phenomenon?

Both sons also seem to have had issues with dyslexia (the other was a writer that had to dictate everything, and the Chef probably chose his profession for similar reason; both had issues with alcohol.
The woman died two years after her other son, and that one role in the brief life of the sitcom is what made her "famous."
I should also point out (which I suspected at the beginning) that the Spanish character, Miguel, is British.
