Holy shit. I didn't notice the
trip odometer
, did you plan this far in advance?
Well when I noticed it was 121k kms something clicking in my head about 123456, then I noticed the 4 numbers underneath so I went for it. Hardest thing was to remember to reset the trip meter at exactly the right time.
789kms and still a full tank?
haha, well I had to reset it mid tank to get the numbers to come up at the right time, so that's completely out. I get 500 kms per tank (2000 Corolla)
 
Behold. The Chinese pop corn canon.

2011 as predicted in 1911. I don't know for sure that it's real. Click for larger.

Yup, this is real I heard a story about it on NPR. These aren't all his ideas though, he was involved with the scientific community and he picked the ones he thought were more probable

This pic gets a whole different vibe if you know how Shelley Duvall felt on the set.

On the DVD commentary track for Making 'The Shining', Vivian Kubrick reveals that Shelley Duvall received "no sympathy at all" from anyone on the set. This was apparently Stanley Kubrick's tactic in making her feel utterly hopeless. This is most evident in the documentary when he tells Vivian, "Don't sympathize with Shelley." Kubrick then goes on to tell Duvall, "It doesn't help you."

Despite Stanley Kubrick's fierce demands on everyone, Jack Nicholson admitted to having a good working relationship with him. It was with Shelley Duvall that he was a completely different director. He allegedly picked on her more than anyone else, as seen in the documentaries Making 'The Shining' and Stanley Kubrick: A Life in Pictures. He would really lose his temper with her, even going so far as to say that she was wasting the time of everyone on the set. She later reflected that he was probably pushing her to her limits to get the best out of her, and that she wouldn't trade the experience for anything - but it was not something she ever wished to repeat.

Kim Keever photographs landscapes that exist in the physical world, but you can't visit any of them...

KIM KEEVER's large-scale photographs are created by meticulously constructing miniature topographies in a 200-gallon tank, which is then filled with water. These dioramas of fictitious environments are brought to life with colored lights and the dispersal of pigment, producing ephemeral atmospheres that he must quickly capture with his large-format camera.

Keever's painterly panoramas represent a continuation of the landscape tradition, as well as an evolution of the genre. Referencing a broad history of landscape painting, especially that of Romanticism, the Hudson River School and Luminism, they are imbued with a sense of the sublime. However, they also show a subversive side that deliberately acknowledges their contemporary contrivance and conceptual artifice. Keever's staged scenery is characterized by a psychology of timelessness. A combination of the real and the imaginary, they document places that somehow we know, but never were. The symbolic qualities he achieves result from his understanding of the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, Keever fabricates an illusion to conjure the realms of our imagination.

No CGI and no digital manipulation, just lighting rigs and practical effects.
