I cannot find a movie from old times


I can't help you with the manufacturing movie, but your thread reply makes me want to go off on a tangent.

My father's 1st cousin was a minor star in Hollywood in the mid-late 1930s to the mid-1940s, and had supporting roles in well over a dozen movies and TV shows. But almost all of them seem to be gone. (Most enduring role was as a love interest for Young Doctor Kildare.)

Apparently the old-style acetate film deteriorates badly over time. What a shame.


I was thinking of Blue Collar with Richard Pryor and Harvey Keitel, but your description sounds different. Could it have been a documentary?

Blue Collar is a great and underrated movie though. I'd recommend it  :thumb:

I'm sure it wasn't a documentary.

There's gonna be a "28 years later." Split into 2 parts?

Does ne1 even remember the 1st 2 movies?

Gotta watch old shows to even remember what humans looked like without too heavy a pass of digital air-brushing.

Going outside into the real world is not so bad.

Too bad you never see any ordinary people in Costco.
It is hard to imagine a candidate more unworthy to serve as president of the United States than Donald Trump. He has proved himself morally unfit for an office that asks its occupant to put the good of the nation above self-interest. He has proved himself temperamentally unfit for a role that requires the very qualities — wisdom, honesty, empathy, courage, restraint, humility, discipline — that he most lacks.
Those disqualifying characteristics are compounded by everything else that limits his ability to fulfill the duties of the president: his many criminal charges, his advancing age, his fundamental lack of interest in policy and his increasingly bizarre cast of associates.

It's different. In real life, you can't see the fine detail at a distance. And they don't stand still.

The video frame is much larger than in real life.  In that screen shot, her head and hair is 21 inches across on Tp's monitor.

That's the mindset of someone who sees something amazing and immediately pulls out their phone instead of being in the moment and regretting not getting video later.

Not sure that's accurate NT.

Tp4 takes very few photos on his phone. Less than 100 a year.

Tp4 is a bonifide doomer/ social commentator, but he's IN the doom 24/7.

Of this, we are well aware  ;) That's exactly how I pictured you, except not chain smoking ciggs and chugging black coffee. Supplement with alcohol, rice, and movies.

Hol'up, Season 2 Episode 5 (Condemned),

They flew in 3 wraith cruisers, just to feed on what looked like 40-50 people?

That means the Wraith's energy economy is such that, atmospheric entry/flight is so cheap, that eating 40-50 humans is "Worth" the trade?

That's impossible. Even if it were 100s of people. It could not be the case that moving that much mass through space would be net positive.

Probably one of the most Hilarious screenshots ever.

Their facial expressions, hahahaha..

Context: The doctor is telling John Shepherd who's infected with a retrovirus mutating him into a Iratus hybrid, to go into the cave and collect as many egg samples as possible to be harvested for stem cells to create an antidote.

Our nuclear subs have the same issue, they can stay out/under longer than they can store enough food for. I you have the ability to travel through space like they do, energy is less important than food. For them swooping down and grabbing people is not much different from how we collect oysters, crab, and most fish.

One supposes here, the Subs are pretty small though, the cruiser is larger than a sub but still big by flight standards, but those Hive ships which they're part of the fleet of are the size of cities. With the amount of energy and technology, it's pretty inconceivable that they couldn't convert to food, even if inefficiently.

They have beaming tech in the Atlantis universe, the wraith has the dart ship human capture devices, so does the Asgard, but no food replicators. The whole show hinges on them not having replicators.

Do you think that when Venom fights other symbiotes and they are all in each others faces, sometimes their tongues touch? Must be awkward.

I mean, technically, they don't have tongues, they're all blobs.

Don't be so anthropocentric.
