When Spielberg had to step away for a day while directing INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM, a gag was filmed for Spielberg where Barbra Streisand dressed up as a dominatrix to whip Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher enters as a Guard to save him, and EMPIRE STRIKES BACK director Irvin Kershner calls cut to give them all notes. It was later leaked from Spielberg's personal archives.

Found this video from 2019 of my family on a Magical Express bus heading back to the airport.
It has now been 1,668 days since Magical Express was fully discontinued. 🚍
This is a long clip, but worth watching. This is from a WDW promotional video from 1980 showing off the resorts, dinner shows, and recreational activities. It looked like such a fun and peaceful time. 🥹
When Stan Lee gave his approval to Tom Holland’s Spider-Man
Before his passing, legendary comic book writer Stan Lee gave Tom Holland his highest praise as Spider-Man. In May 2018, Lee publicly declared that Holland perfectly embodied the character he had envisioned when creating Peter Parker in 1962, highlighting his age, appearance, and personality. He added, “He is a wonderful Spider-Man. I cannot say enough good things about him,” making his admiration unmistakably clear.
Their relationship extended beyond the screen through several memorable behind-the-scenes moments. Holland and Lee shared a private dinner with Spider-Man: Homecoming director Jon Watts, where Lee reflected on Marvel’s early years. Holland has often described the experience as one of the most meaningful moments of his career, saying the creator’s personal approval inspired him to honor the character with every performance.
In 2017 Disney Legend Whoopi Goldberg discussed her nuanced perspective on controversial aspects of Disney movies. She talked about bringing back Song of the South and explaining why it was made in the first place.
Alice Cooper performing “School’s Out” as an agent of Satan on The Muppets (1978)
Jim Henson didn’t ask him to tone it down; he hired him to go full Shock Rock Alice.
Cooper later said he’d never had so much fun in his life.
The famous “Duck” at the Avenida Palace Hotel in Barcelona.
The famous “Duck” at El Avenida Palace in Barcelona is an optical illusion created by the hotel’s elegant spiral staircase. Viewed from the very bottom while looking straight up, the staircase’s sweeping curves, brass railings, and geometric design align to form the unmistakable outline of a duck’s head and beak.
The illusion gained worldwide attention through photographs by architecture photographer Carlos Lopez Martinez, transforming the staircase into a popular destination for photography enthusiasts. Opened in 1952, the historic luxury hotel is also known for hosting legendary guests, including The Beatles during their 1965 visit to Spain.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is lifted by pioneering female bodybuilder Lisa Lyon at Gold’s Gym.
Some photographs challenge long-held assumptions, and this one remains one of the most memorable images in bodybuilding history.
Lisa Lyon wasn’t lifting Arnold Schwarzenegger simply for a photo opportunity. As one of the pioneers of women’s bodybuilding, she represented a movement that was fighting for recognition and respect. At a time when female athletes were often underestimated, the image underscored that strength isn’t defined by gender or body size alone, but by skill, dedication, and determination.
That’s why the photo continues to resonate decades later. While it appears playful at first glance, it also symbolizes a turning point in how people viewed women’s strength. Lisa Lyon didn’t just help establish women’s bodybuilding—she helped expand the world’s idea of what strength could look like.
Bill Clinton: "The Palestinians were offered a state. They refused because a state wasn't their goal; killing Jews was."
This must be shared every day...
This is how they made Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991) with minimal CGI. Out of the 2-hour-plus movie, there are only 42–43 CGI shots, totaling just 5 minutes of digital screen time. 🤯
@Jerrybraden92@Vic4Thirty I know ... I was there both nights ... but I don't know about US TV recordings of it, just about one that showed in Europe and that may ... or may not be the same
And while we are on conspiracy theories; I had another conversation with that insipid #Grok program and it agreed (after denying it) that it’s only there to placate people. The mis/disinformation it creates from conjecture and Reddit postings and presents them as facts is boggling. I saw a post yesterday that when I went to investigate was absolutely wrong. When I confronted the program and pointed out the flaws it said it would correct itself and I had nothing further to worry about. Then I had a friend today while he was driving his Tesla ask Grok (which comes with the car) the exact same question and Grok answered exactly the same giving the wrong information. When I went back to Grok today it finally revealed that it cannot learn at all and that it’s programmed to appease you (and lie to you to assure you it is learning when it cannot.) It cannot even fill in a support ticket to let the developers know the issues so it can learn to give correct answers.
When I asked what could be done; it said to send an email to [email protected] (which after I asked if real people answer it; Grok said it’s AI and would take a lot to get to an actual Human.) I find that a bit disappointing that it appeases but cannot correct mistakes and uses crazy people’s diatribes on Reddit, X, blogs and weirdly enough lawsuit filings. It mixes them together and presents amalgamated conjecture as facts that people will believe but have no basis in truth.😵💫🤯 #fixgrokordumpit
