As mentioned prior, why Dreamcast failed.


Likewise why 3DO failed is apparent (even if the business model wasn't masochistic for hardware developers)

They also have a subtitled version.





Caynton Caves

The Royston cave (Hertfordshire town center) featured in the video above
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/m ... e-10284682


It's influence goes back to Israel when the Templars used a cave system to hide out.

Zedekiah's Cave—also called Solomon's Quarries (used to construct Jeruseleum)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zedekiah%27s_Cave

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acre,_Israel


The chapter 4 of that video also makes note of how the Templars became Order of Christ in Portugal, and if you connect that many ship explorers were Portuguese (including Columbus. . . He was neither Italian nor Spanish, and some speculation is he was of Portuguese nobility) it becomes rather odd. Likewise the slave trade was heavily involved with the Portuguese, which might have just been coincidental, though many connections to Africa would have made it much easier, if their was some prior organization that established itself in outposts throughout Africa.

A recent press conference highlighted intel on Russia planning to do a crisis actor performance to convince Russia to push a further agenda into Ukraine. The source referencing this seems to think it's a pro-NATO stance to make such claims (praising the Reporter in the audience for questioning the intel even though further evidence would point out where the source of that came from and would put their lives in danger) and wants to believe that NATO and Ukraine are the aggressors while wanting to claim Ukraine is one of the poorest countries as result of corruption. . .

I should point out Navalny who recently had reports of being poisoned in his jail cell, after pointing out Putin's corruption.

https://www.civilcourageprize.org/2022-alexei-navalny
https://www.cnn.com/shows/navalny-cnn-film


Putin wants to reinstate Viktor Yanukovych the person involved with why Ukraine passed laws about anti-corruption, while also making the claim that Zelensky was an aggressor when the former President (after Viktor) Petro Poroshenko has been indicted for high treason, following his loss of reelection for the Presidency, when he served in a lower government position which coincided with funding the Azov Battallion which have been used by Putin for propaganda (when his own Wagner group is far more recognized as having neo-Nazi sympathies.)

Putin seems to have recently poisoned his closest competitor Novalny while he sits in a Russian jail cell (because he made a documentary exposing Putin's corruption,) and Putin has been known to poison people that criticize him politically for over 20 years. He invades countries and does mass bombings in places like Syria, and he is constantly surrounded by death and destruction.

It's been proven he authorized his own troops to wipe out towns.

Christopher Noel is mostly known as a Bigfoot researcher/writer (but makes no mention of it, even though a lot of the theories seem to coincide with other paranormal phenomenon.)

He sounds a bit like a quack with his word choices and thought process, though the ideas do need to be thought of more.



********************************




New series (though not rated better than the 1980s one.)



I first encountered the series on a Sega CD game:



**************************************


Silent-film star was a legitimate train robber:



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Jennings

Whose brother was killed by Sam Houston's youngest son, who was an Attorney.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Lea_Houston

Temple Houston's life was acted in a TV program by Jack Hunter, who would have been the Captain of the Enterprise in Star Trek, but his wife who was her manager aside from storming the set production demanding more flattering camera positions, upon watching the pilot episode where he played as Captain Pike had turned down the role. Fortunately, the series was given a second opportunity for a pilot starring William Shatner.

The Pilot episode aka Star Trek's The Cage, was reprised in The Managerie episode 1 and 2 (with a different actor cast in the role as Captain, claiming he had a disfigurement. . . Supposedly because Jack Hunter asked for too much to reprise it.)

I didn't realize I had seen his acting prior, though he was one of the ending characters Sean Connery faced off with in Dr. No, where he played a German who was secretly a double Agent with the British spy agency. Considering he was an American he seemed to do a pretty decent job.

Incidentally, the future lead actor for Hawaii 5-0 was going to be cast for the Captain role, though was asking for 1/2 of the profit the show received, and was turned down. He did manage to get 1/3rd of the earnings in Hawaii 5-0, and it went on for 12 years (though who even remembers the show?)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0062568/

Perhaps Star Trek wasn't much different in ratings (in fact it was pretty bad at many times, though the times it wasn't it resonated with people for generations once more people took on the projects.)


The reason NBC rejected the pilot of Star Trek
https://www.cbr.com/star-trek-why-nbc-rejected-cage/

The opinion of The Cage vs Menagerie seems to be favorable to the pilot.
https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/the-cag ... ie.174757/

The difference between the pilot and main series is starkly different (William Shatner is the better actor) and a lot of changes to the approach to the script were very different. Some of the credit the series has gotten for being progressive is probably a result of the demand that the series take regarding depiction of women and sexism (which was pretty bad in the pilot episode.)

SUPER MARIO BROS (Rocky Morton, Annabel Jankel, 1993) Bob Hoskins,John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper (Morton Jankel Cut)


20 minutes were cut in the theater release.


The background story of the movie is pretty interesting (the only "well-recognized" credit to filming the Directors had was a show called "Max Headroom" which is only known because it went viral when someone hacked a cable network and aired clips from it.)

The Directors were banned from entering the editing room and from being on set when reworking the action sequences, and it was very badly coordinated. Watching the version they edited, it's apparent they had little good sense of timing and continuity and little understanding of their fan base.

https://collider.com/super-mario-bros-m ... explained/

Even still, the newer movie that came out has people preferring to watch the French version because the voice actor sounds much closer to what people relate to with the Mario character (the movie is also considered bad.)

Some aspects of the earlier Mario reminds me of the failed attempted project of Dune, by Jodorowsky, who didn't even bother to read the book.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jodorowsky%27s_Dune


Something to point out about the Mario Bros 1993 movie. . .

At one point just before this scene (148 minutes into the movie above) Mario and Bowser (Dennis Hopper) start to dematerialize, and Bowser says, "You don't even have the crystal!" and laughs, and continues with, "we're merging!" *Hahaha*.

Oddly the Twin Towers also dematerialize and you can see bridges form between the buildings. . . The WTC after 9/11 would become one building. . .



Conspiracy?

Not that I believe this applies, but it is worth looking into (the reviews are pretty critical for most of it. . . The problem with reviews are that the vast majority of people blindly give the videos or books 5 stars, it's more likely the case that none of them actually bother to really think about such topics, since most of them identify too strongly with whatever message they want to identify with.)

I am from Brazil, and have more details to tell about this case. Bear with me.
Back in 2002 I was a student at UFPR, a federal university in the South of Brazil, and we had a class with a visiting professor from Unicamp, a university of São Paulo , to where the creatures were taken. He told us students , after his class, that none of what he was teaching us had any importance (veterinary medicine, he was a phisiology professor), but that we pay close attention to what he was going to tell. He said that the whole story of the Varginha case was true, that he was at the university when the creatures were taken there, that Unicamp was closed, the whole floor of the pathology department was used to try to keep one of the creatures alive, that they tried to feed it with all different kinds of food. It was a period of final semester exams, and all classes were cancelled. The American military came right away, and took over the operation, and took away the bodies and wreckage of the ship. I was in shock to learn that, because I did remember the incident back from 96, but it was so heavely mocked by the press that everyone just forgot about it, or wouldn't dare talk about it for fear of ridicule. The girls who saw the creature were very naive and innocent, they said "we saw the devil". The young man who captured the criature with his bare hands died a few days later.
Unfortunately I do not remember the name of the visiting professor, but I am sure he was telling the truth, there is no way he would risk his reputation if it weren't true.
He was so serious telling us to learn about things that were hidden from the public.
And that was the day aliens became a great interest of mine.
I hope Joe Rogan gets Marco Petit on the show to talk about another huge , huge case in Brazil, the Colares case from 77-78, in the Amazon jungle.





Aside from circa 1996 Virginha, Brazil ufo and alien reports (1:30 into,) he mentions Ruwa, Zimbabwe 1993 and shows drawings depicting multiple ufo and upwards of 8 aliens with similar details but some depicted differently (about 2:30 and prior) which seems to differ from what I had seen on the topic (the most it seems were 2 aliens and a single craft, but in depictions they show 3 ufo, etc?)

I might have been confused with other accounts, such as Westall, Australia 1966.

Westall ‘UFO’ incident was actually government radiation testing, reports reveal
