Pre-Halloween Creepy Realization Thread:
You're Living in a Simulation, and There's Always a Glitch
Think you perceive the world accurately?
Think your memory is sound? Okay, then: Question: In the original Judy Garland Wizard of Oz -- yes, the one you all remember -- what color was the gun the Scarecrow wielded? What's that? You say, "What are you talking about, he didn't have a gun!!!" Yes he did. And no, it's not a deleted scene. And also no: Not when the actor is playing him as a farmhand. No, I mean when he's the actual Scarecrow. It's not a trick question. It's in the movie. The Scarecrow is packing heat. Not under his clothes. He takes out the gun and wields it. So what color was the Scarecrow's gun?Wait to hit the comments or "view more" until you've thought it over and searched your memory.

Blake Edwards' S.O.B. goes there. It's completely meta in every sense.
Edwards' movie is about how a director convinces his wholesome actress wife to wreck her reputation by going topless starring Edwards' wife, Julie Andrews.
It's just plain weird. Also very very funny.

In the awful Bond movie "Moonraker" when Bond and Jaws (Richard Kiel) fight some battle, Jaws comes crashing down out of the sky and instead of getting killed, gets up and brushes himself off... and then that pigtailed blonde nerd girl shows up.
He smiles at her with his metal teeth.
She smiles back as the love music builds on the soundtrack, and as I (and others) distinctly remember, the groan gag is that she's wearing braces.
But she is not wearing braces. She just smiles at him. So, not really a gag there if you watch the clip NOW... unlike in the previous programming of the Matrix when we ALL saw the damn braces back in 1980. I know I did.
And I'd very much appreciate the lame-ass teenage alien playing programming this simulation to QUIT FUCKING WITH ME

Wizard of Oz was mostly in color, which most people weren't used to seeing onscreen at the theater yet.
Also, it was one of the first epics, and looked like one. So it provided people with a nice big hunk of escapism. (The depression was still dragging on, I believe.)

Tami sent me an email asking if I could check on rickl, since he lives not too far from me, and hoped I could check on him. I was all too happy to help, and since I was not able to go there personally, I asked my partner - a fantastic detective - to do me the favor.
Any hoo, I was dumbstruck at how concerned and distressed than a fellow Moron may be in distress. I'm not a big name here, and I read more than I comment, but what makes this place special is the people. Tami, Ben Had, and so many more of you were truly concerned about another Moron's health, and it made me feel we aren't over the cliff yet.
Everything seems to be in order at rickl's house, but my partner is headed back tonight to check if the lights were on, and/or if she sees anyone inside.

I also remember that Jaw's girlfriend in Moonraker didn't have braces, The Berenstain Bears were never Jewish, or that the Pillsbury Dough Boy's scarf is white, not blue.
On the latter, they keep trying to say since it's blue on toys and drawings, it means our reality is different. No, it means that if it wasn't painted on a toy it would look like a tumor, and you've already got that paint out.
Next thing they'll be trying to say the surprise anal otter never surprised anybody.

I agree on this one. For myself, I never really got the allure and praise for it. I can understand if it was the first time you ever saw a movie in color, the presentation for that was fantastic and memorable, but otherwise, to me, it was kind of silly.

In the awful Bond movie "Moonraker" when Bond and Jaws (Richard Kiel) fight some battle, Jaws comes crashing down out of the sky and instead of getting killed, gets up and brushes himself off... and then that pigtailed blonde nerd girl shows up.
He smiles at her with his metal teeth.
She smiles back as the love music builds on the soundtrack, and as I (and others) distinctly remember, the groan gag is that she's wearing braces.
But she is not wearing braces. She just smiles at him. So, not really a gag there if you watch the clip NOW... unlike in the previous programming of the Matrix when we ALL saw the damn braces back in 1980. I know I did.
And I'd very much appreciate the lame-ass teenage alien playing programming this simulation to QUIT FUCKING WITH ME

Sure, that's why he loved her, because she had teeth like him. They matched.
They did make a couple more of the Oz books into movies and they are mixed quality. I think they'd do well as a TV series treatment on like Netflix or Showtime (although if they did that, you'd get extended scenes of I dunno, the Good witch sexing up the tin man or something).

relate to Dorothy. I'd bet a lot of them felt battered around by all the
bad news of the time. Remember, no one knew exactly how they or the USA
were going to bring back the economy yet. WW2 was still two years away.

Yes, the movie did well, but it was also very expensive, which cut into its profit margin.
It clearly spoke the sense of dread - depression without end and war clouds gathering. There's a reason Garland became a huge star and "Over the Rainbow" an instant classic.
Also important to remember that this movie was going up against some of the greatest movies ever made. Gone with the Wind, for example, which remains the biggest hit in movie history.
(Don't quote constant dollars, look at tickets sold. The thing was yuge.)
Just looking at the movies of 1939 makes one sad.

As the Wicked Witch is sending her flying monkeys to attack the heroes she tells the flying monkey leader she's going to send a little insect first. The deleted scene is Dorothy and the Tin Man doing a jitterbug dance scene after being bitten. You can kinda tell something was going on beforehand as the monkeys are swooping down on them.

Eh, I can see the point, there were advantages and drawbacks to the consumer to either way, really.
The 80s and 90s were a good run of many good films too but few years are like 1939. Just imagine going to the theater and trying to decide which movie to see.

Many years later, while there for work, I learned that the city of Kutaisi, in western Georgia [country, not state] was supposed to have been the site for the golden fleece story.
Week before, in Tbilisi, I'd picked up a business card from a local bank, probably found the card at the "business center" of the hotel - "Golden Fleece Bank".
The first years after the fall of the USSR were full of amusing little things in the former republics of the onion.

I don't find simulation Theory at odds with my belief in God and the Bible.
Let's get weird and mash some things up. Ray Kurzweil Singularity is Near. And The Rise of Spiritual Machines which came before it. Basic theory is that Moore's law applies to intelligence not just to transistors on a chip. At some point everything in the Universe is intelligent or Intelligent and then what?
Asimov short story about a computer AC - analog computer - that keeps getting smarter and smarter. Until it is the last thing existing and says Let there be light!
The experimentation that supports the concept of the simulation is that the Universe is ragged at the edges - particularly the really small edges. It starts looking pixelated. Of course, it may be that our really small experimentation sensors are not capable. But maybe there is not really a difference.
Think about Percival Lowell and Mars canals. He saw them. With his best instruments. The canals were the best we could see. Until the instruments got better. And then the canals were laughable.
But what if there were canals? And the "software" changed.
I am amazed at the detail I see in the clouds in the sky now. I do not remember them looking like that when I was young. I don't know if it is because I am older and more experienced, but I remember the puffy clouds and the wispy ones. The highly convoluted ones that look like brain matter, I don't remember. I certainly don't see paintings with those types of clouds.
Our knowledge of the universe gets different with our ability to see/discover it. You know that right now our understanding is that even though the Big Bang is the leading cosmological creation science, the universe is evenly distributed as far as we can see. There is no center that things are expanding from.
So all of that is a bit stream of consciousness, but in the end, whether we live in a simulation is immaterial - it is how we live.

Another one that got me was called Now the Screaming Starts.

And yeah I think Famke Janssen is very lovely. She's got that bunny nose thing where the tip of her nose moves when she talks too, that's kinda cute.
The girl who hits me past my armor (other than Phoebe Cates) is Dana Wheeler-Nicholson. She didn't do a lot, sadly, but she was the wife in Fletch and Wyatt Earp's druggie girlfriend in Tombstone. She is like the prototype for how I want a girl to look, somehow. Wonderful voice, too

Eckhart saw Hell too. You know what he said? He said: "The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of your life; your memories, your attachments... they burn them all away." But, "they're not punishing you" he said, "they're freeing your soul". So the way he see's it, if you're frightened of dying and-and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But, if you've made your peace then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth. It's just a matter of how you look at it, that's all. So don't worry, okay?

****
Indeed. 1939 was a watershed moment in the "old Hollywood" studio system that generated some of the most wonderful movies of all time, including six, or even seven, that could be quite reasonably found in just about everyone's "top ten movies of all time list"
Now - want to really cry?
Here are the best picture nominees for 2017:
Arrival
Fences
Hacksaw Ridge
Hell or Highwater
Hidden Figures
La La Land
Lion
Manchester by the Sea
Moonlight
Eventual winner? The ghey one - Moonlight - a wholly unforgettable film, as were the rest, with the possible exception of Hacksaw Ridge and Manchester by the Sea. What an embarrassment Hollywood has become - for so many reasons.
Btw - I forgot the scarecrow's gun - but after seeing the still I do recall the scene. They had been sent to kill the witch and all had weapons of some kind (except Dorothy I recall). It was a bit of a toss-away "prop" gag, I think (a gun and some rope against a magic wielding witch who, with her talisman helm, could summon a vast army of flying monkeys to do her very bidding? Heh. Funny.)

Then, when I was a theater major in 1980 ( I know, I know, shut up), every last prancing gay boy in the department loooooooved Judy Garland, and it pretty much solidified my distaste for it.

Here are the best picture nominees for 2017
Yeah I kinda went off on Facebook recently, riffing on this concept. I started with 1999 (20 years ago) listing the best movies of each year, moving by 5 year increments. Every single year by this arbitrary choice (1939 was just coincidence) was packed with great, entertaining, and culturally significant films, as far back as 1934 where I stopped.
There were some somewhat dry spells (in the 60s it was a bit lackluster) but even they had better content than we get now. I almost feel bad for theater owners, they can only show what is made. If it weren't for films like Avengers, I think they would go out of business. Who wants to go to the movies these days for 12-15 bucks a ticket to see this crap?
Countdown
The Great Alaskan Race
Maleficent: Mistress of Evil
Zombieland: Doubletap
Gemini Man
The Addams Family animated
It Chapter 2
Joker
Every year its a host of crap with maybe one standout film, and even that isn't all that great.

TWoO wasn't scary, it was just a chore. It was a classic movie that kids were supposed to like, so I had to endure it and pretend to like it, otherwise I'd be disappointing whoever was showing it. It was the movie equivalent of eating zucchini or tuna casserole. You had to do it and pretend to like it because it was a duty.

The problem is that it's difficult to translate enough of the background into a two hour film to make it understandable.

The natural man receives not the things of the spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. Neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned. (close enough, from memory)
that makes sense to me at times, that whole new birth, holy spirit ... and yet commie natural man is happy with trodding on his fellow man ... idk ... but life is real, not a simulation. When we "level up" we may see things more clearly.

Seriously, though I remember that game. It might've been what kept me playing other games because I really liked it and kept looking for a new one that offered the game play again.
Good writing and a minor TV show budget would be perfect. I always think about the twilight zone reusing sets every couple of weeks and it didn't matter at all because it was just the place to tell an interesting story.

I have often enjoyed your posts, illiniwek.
Materialists want to use "Ockham's Razor" on this as if "explanation" was the same thing as "theory". To ex-plain something is to lay it out there and make it plain.
They want to collapse "entities", forgetting that Ockham's principle was no more entities than were needed to explain something in full.
So, they give us the handwaving called "emerging properties". Now, I'm not saying that that's not how it happened. However, the possibility that properties can "emerge" doesn't explain anything.

I get what your saying
but when you restore an early painting, you don't really use "paint"
it's a matter of many layers of a colored glaze, which is probably refracting the light
if you were to try to match a black area on a painting with a "black" paint
well, you'd have a mess
you have to be able to see the color underneath
which takes many years to perfect

The Mandela part of the "Mandela Effect" always bugs me, because I remember growing up how Mandela turned out to be mediocre at politics after he got out of prison and became President of South Africa. It wasn't as bad as Zimbabwe, but that's a low bar to pass.
To me, people killing him off in prison in their minds tells me they'd rather he be a martyr, instead of showing how South Africa didn't improve after apartheid ended.

Posted by: Axeman
yeah, I'd never heard of emerging properties ... but I think even Einstein saw an intelligence ... he then went on to claim that "but a belief in a personal God is crazy". His world was the physics and math ... but even there he saw "intelligence".
So on a simpler level I think .. if Einstein saw a far superior intelligence behind the physics (creation) ... why the heck would there not also be an intelligence behind the soul life, and the spiritual life, the personal life? "If I were God", I'd get tired of just doing math.
It is our nature to enjoy other life ... maybe we didn't come up with that on our own, maybe it is innate, given to us.

It's an animal pretending to be a cat.

That's a current day Siamese - wedge head. Or rather, since it doesn't have the pointed fur it is a wedge head Oriental.
Mengele cat breeders usurped several cat breeds and mutated them to hell. Wedge Head siamese, Persians with Peke-face, and Burmese that often die of skull deformities because they are going for a certain look.
Poor animals.

I heard Cecil Adams (the straight dope) debunk that 40 or more years ago.

I had understood that the one signed by attendees was to be given to Dr. Bob as a thank you for use of his rifle range. A copy signed by Weasel and Bluebell was given to Mrs. the B by Bluebell. For which, thank you very much.

Tbilisi? "Fleece" is likely a verb and not a noun.

The Myth of Jason and the Golden Fleece is like a pre-Iliad/odyssey adventure tale. The golden sheep flew out of Greece to the far side of the Black Sea.

The glitch is that we don't really remember coherent stories. We reconstruct them, when called upon to remember them. The Scarecrow holding a gun never imprinted on my brain. Maybe I never noticed, maybe it slipped out of my head. Either way, everytime you "remember," you are only building connections on the fragments that are there.
The simulation is that you and me eist in the same world, rather than that we all live in 7 billion different minds that never interact except through the impressions we make on each other.
The person who lives behind me is on the other side of a tall fence. His home could be a portal to another universe without it affecting my life at all.
