iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

From LIFE Magazine, this is an article about the emerging technology of television published in 1937, but if you squint hard enough at this paragraph, it kinda sounds like it's about AI.

When you were watching St. Ives, did you meet a man with seven wives?

Los Angeles is home to 40% of America's Persian and Iranian population. Probably more likely to hit Palm Beach or wherever his grandkids are living.

Paramount bought Warners for $111 billion. This movie will lose 0.1% of that.

I still have those scripts, btw. Have kept them for nearly 30 years.

Hahaha surely you’ve heard enough of them by now. I remember that you gave me my favorite response when I confessed to learning how to format screenplays from scripts that my friends and I dug out of a dumpster behind a San Antonio recording studio in 1998. “PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS TRUE!!”

Unfortunately they never instituted the award for Best Waingro.

...though I didn't fully recognize that until I saw this Scorsese commercial in 1998, which I taped and watched 4,000 times. Sure, QT/Sundance movies were cool, but here I was being enlightened to the full power of cinema, and how it can (and does) change the world. www.youtube.com/watch?v=roaQ...

Well, also I fractured my jaw in bike accident in '97. Memorial Day weekend. I was 14 and spent most of my summer watching every movie in the house and then asking to go to the video store 3x a week. That definitely showed me how cinema could teleport me out of my misery into worlds I'd never known.

I don't know my real answer. Desperado maybe? North by Northwest? All I know is I loved movies as a kid, and when Tarantino won the MTV award for Pulp Fiction, his speech made filmmaking seem like the coolest job in the world. Any inspiration after that just reaffirmed a decision I'd already made.

Ohhhh duh. Guess it's a remastered frame. Didn't have that VHS haze that I still associate with it.

Talking with my friend who was trying to remember who it was that she’s been confusing with Lance Oppenheim.

My barbershop was playing the 2016 Tarzan on their television and I have absolutely no memory of that movie coming out.

So uh…. What’s the story here? Since when does a studio win a bidding war and decline to comment on what they bought?

Thanks! Here's a link to the full set if you're looking for more. I think the one I used in the post is number 19. Also attaching some newspaper clippings from September 1959. digital.library.ucla.edu/catalog/ark:...

Sometimes "everything" is just all the stuff we made along the way (since the Big Bang)

You know he rehearsed this. You know that he hired actors to study and imitate every single person in this room. Show it to us.

Was George Segal the weirdest leading man of the 1970s?

Man, Resident Evil felt like getting to see a John Carpenter classic for the first time. What a blast.

Bitch, literally every sentence you say is fishing.

Are there any lists out there with the older ones where they just change the title because it's been so long? Like Harper to The Drowning Pool or Chinatown to The Two Jakes? Trying to think of them all, but coming up short. Last Picture Show to Texasville, Hustler to Color of Money,

Went to a dinner Saturday where an old man was telling me the shows he’s watching and said “I’m still catching up on The Silos”

It took Christopher Nolan less time to make The Odyssey than it has taken Tilly Norwood to make her feature debut.

When I was a kid, my grandfather bought me the screenplay for 4 at the Ontario Mills mall here in California, and it was one of the scripts that I used to teach myself formatting.
