The house centipede in your bathroom is the reason you don't have cockroaches.
That fast, leggy, kinda creepy looking thing you just saw scurry under the door is a Scutigera coleoptrata. It eats silverfish, cockroaches, spiders, ants, termites, and bed bug nymphs. The University of Georgia Extension calls house centipedes "allies in home pest control."
One house centipede can eat its body weight in pests every few days, hunting at night while you sleep. They don't damage your house, don't eat your food, don't carry disease, and don't bite unless you grab one.
Best of all: they're self limiting. When they run out of pests, they begin to hunt each other.
If you kill the centipedes, the pests they were eating multiply. Homes that exterminate house centipedes typically see cockroach, silverfish, and spider populations rise.
The bug that looks like a horror movie prop is doing the work of an exterminator for free. The bug it eats is the one that would actually wreck your stuff.
City of Crime (1987). Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd did this soundtrack single for their 1987 movie Dragnet. Paula Abdul managed the choreography. It never troubled the charts, but it's pretty fun.
This is not remotely a knock on Nolan, by the way. I'm a big fan and he seems like a fun hang, just kind of oblivious in the way that many extremely talented, wealthy, and successful people are. I do kinda wish he'd drop the epics and go back to small dark noir stories for a bit.
To be clear: his whole existence is dependent on email, smartphones, and similar technology that he publicly shrugs off, he's just wealthy enough to have MANY employees to interface with it directly on his behalf. It's an affectation of his creative "brand," and an effective one.

Younger people might be surprised to hear this but the way culture used to be, if there was a guy who did meth and hit himself in the face with a hammer, he actually wouldn’t get interviewed on 60 Minutes.
@ilikechamomile@AxelTalksFilm It runs 35mm film stock horizontally through the camera, and each VV frame is the equivalent of 2 regular 35mm frames. Creates a larger taller format like 70mm or IMAX (but smaller than either) without using specialized film stock. Used to be v popular for shooting VFX elements.
