@Ch1canerous Movies used to have lines so goated they became imbedded into culture to the point of becoming common phrases you wouldn't even think to have originated from a specific movie. Anyone who's ever used a variant "we're cooked" has Peter Venkman to thank
@BilgeEbiri Yea Tim Roth is an awesome foppish bad guy. For what it's worth Rush was great in SiL, and both Cuba in JM and Pacino Dick Tracy 100% understood what was needed (ie a lot) and delivered it as well as anyone possibly could.
"Some people say Citizen Kane, Casablanca, The Godfather or Shawshank Redemption. Tom Hanks says Jason and the Argonauts, Peter Jackson says King Kong, Spielberg says Lawrence Of Arabia. Me, I say Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is the greatest movie ever made".

Norway now has more than 2,000 underwater AI laser robots shooting lice off its salmon
they're made by a company called Stingray, and they already guard more than 50 million salmon and trout 24/7
the reason is sea lice, tiny parasites that latch onto salmon and feed on them
as few as 11 can kill a small fish, and one pen can hold 150,000 salmon
the usual fix is pumping the fish out and blasting them with warm water or water jets to knock the lice off
but the handling is so rough that Norway's fish health report ranks it the top cause of death in full-grown farmed salmon
so instead, Stingray puts a robot inside the pen that hunts lice one at a time, all day:
> two cameras watch every salmon that swims past
> AI checks two frames to make sure it's really a louse
> then a green laser fires from up to 2 meters away
> the salmon's scales reflect the beam, so the fish swims off fine and the louse is dead
we now live in a world where AI lasers do pest control on your dinner lmao
@MartinSkold2@cmgoodlander My Dad used to play a ton of Stan Rogers when I was a kid, and this was literally my first "favorite song". Northwest Passage and Witch of the Westmoreland also amazing.
I grew up in these parts of the midwest in a town named after a french trapper (Antoine Ouilmette) and these photos brought a shudder. Dark even in day, cold to your bones. There's a reason the stories about the Wendigo were so prevalent.
@cmgoodlander Native American legends tell of starving winters and cannibalism and the evil Wendigo, alternately a forest monster and a force or spirit that drives men mad.
@blightersort It's an alternate timeline where we invented some kind of essentially unlimited and free energy source, so instead of having the digital revolution in the 90's and 2000's we had a transportation and robot revolution..
