For about a year, I worked with a retired British academic named Alasdair Spark to solve a mystery: where did the original photo from the end of The Shining come from, and where/when was it captured? Last week, we finally found the answer. www.instagram.com/p/DID43LBNPD...

"The Hobbit" illustrations stuck in legal limbo; Saturday morning cartoon "The Shining"; The Muppets crossover we need
Slovakian artist Peter Klúcik was commissioned to illustrate Tolkien's "The Hobbit" shortly after the revolutions of 1989 & the collapse of the Soviet Union. To this day, the 40 illustrations he did are unpublished due to copyright issues - a brutal introduction to capitalism... pic.twitter.com/EVEIrVJ52y

The year is the future; Earth’s entire energy supply has been drained by a bot that mints NFTs of algorithmically generated cat pictures.
— Adi Robertson (@thedextriarchy) June 22, 2021
Humanity’s last dregs mount a desperate quest to find and destroy the NFT bot before Earth spontaneously combusts from the heat of a billion overclocked graphics cards.
— Adi Robertson (@thedextriarchy) June 22, 2021
Dave Bautista is involved in the mission. There is a running gag where various people try to explain WTF an NFT is to Dave Bautista, and he finally gets it 5 seconds before crashing his helicopter into an airborne server farm.

Tron was shot in black and white; 2001's "floating" pen was taped to glass; Tobey Maguire really had to catch all those items
Tron (1982) was shot in black and white, sets were made of black fabric with white duct-tape for markers, the glow was later hand-painted onto every frame, imagine the work!! In this video we can see a test using a white suit with black markers for the glows pic.twitter.com/fl9U87bsBu— David Amador (@DJ_Link) May 17, 2018
In 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) the floating pen sequence was made by gluing the pen with transparent duct tape to a giant glass and just moving it around, camera focused on center so you can't see the edges. pic.twitter.com/1BYwRkmJOl— David Amador (@DJ_Link) May 17, 2018
In Spider-Man (2002) scene where Peter Parker catches the tray and objects wasn't CGI. Tray had a sticky substance so stuff wouldn't roll when falling but Tobey Maguire had to catch them, it took 156 takes. The studio wanted this scene cut because of how long it was taking. pic.twitter.com/JZzfbjIPgc— David Amador (@DJ_Link) May 18, 2018

Man takes care of a hotel in the winter and writes a dull book
Old man travels to Venezuela to visit a waterfall
