Colors were weird on B&W. I watched Laverne & Shirley on B&W for several years, and always thought that Laverne was a redhead. I watched a rerun for some reason a couple of years ago on my 58" flatscreen (color), and it looked weird.
just imagine how much you could have saved by getting the 58" flatscreen B&W
Here’s an old cliche in an otherwise pretty good horror movie I just watched: something horrible happens to the main character…but then suddenly they wake up gasping in terror— it was all just a bad dream!
Not only is this super common horror scene a hoary old trope and a cheap way to create fake out jump scares, it’s a pet peeve of mine because people do not dream that they are watching themselves from out of body, like a normal movie scene- they experience the dream from their point of view, just as if they were awake. But of course the dream scene can’t be filmed that way or it would give the fake out away. I mean, I wouldn’t say it’s never happened that people have dreamed that they see themselves from outside their body, but I would guess almost never, as the OP title says.
You just described the whole middle third of this movie. The first time I saw it I was confused as hell, and a subsequent viewing didn’t help much:
Quote:
This entire absorbing part of the movie is all a PTS hallucination meant to pass screen time likely due to a lack of desire or possibly talent or both on the part of the screenwriter though hamstrung by the Hays Code to make a cohesive inventive script despite having a great cast.
It’s a long thread, so apologies if this has been covered.
The arrest of a suspect in the Idaho college murders reminds us that cases where the guilty party turns out to be someone who’s studied criminology and forensics is apparently quite rare IRL.
Okay, I’ll bite – what’s a “headcannon”?
It’s like “head canon” only LOUDER!
Unlike novels, where first person is a common form of presentation, movies and TV are almost never shot in true first person, where the camera is supposed to represent what an actual person is seeing. We see a “neutral” view that is not what any one person sees.
So I’m okay with the trope being “factual”, it’s showing the dream from a neutral standpoint, not what the person dreaming actually sees, because that’s the default viewpoint of the media.
One of my college roommates could do that! She showed me how, and I never figured it out myself.
As for using blue liquid in feminine hygiene commercials, I suspect that using red liquid would freak out a lot of people.
My new entry, mostly on You Tube: People claiming they saw a pterodactyl. Folks, those were pelicans.
That’s largely why they’re “bad” alternative histories.
But yeah, if North Korea killed a US diplomat and sent his head back to Biden, I guarantee air strikes would be a virtual certainty. Probably extensive and repeated air strikes. I don’t know that we’d actually invade, but I’d bet a lot of money that the US would bomb the absolute shit out of North Korea for some sort of transgression like that. I shudder to think of what China might do.
Speaking of arrests, and this too may have already have been mentioned in this long thread… on TV the cops always read the suspect their Miranda rights immediately after arresting them. That’s not how it works in real life – they just have to read their rights before asking them any questions. It’s usually done at the police station in the interrogation room. But because we’re so used to seeing it on TV being done at the time of arrest, in this era when everyone has a video camera on their phone and can film the police arresting people, people think they caught the police doing something wrong when they don’t read an arrestee their rights immediately.
When I was arrested, I was mirandized in the car shortly after being placed there. So it worked out pretty closely to that in my experience.
On Live PD they quite often read a suspect their Miranda rights on the scene.
Seriously, Biden ordering air strikes? I highly doubt it.
In the meantime, I saw a maxipad commercial where they poured PINK liquid into a pad.

Ah well, I just read this article and took it at face value, it might be bunk for all I know.
Idaho Murders Suspect Made One Huge Mistake, Expert Says (msn.com)
But while one ex-cop and criminology professor who writes textbooks on how to conduct criminal investigations says it’s not inconceivable a student could use that knowledge for the wrong reasons, it’s also exceedingly rare.
