In The Thing (2011) you can briefly hear the ennio morricone theme from the 1982 The Thing at the very beginning and much clearer at the very end of the movie as it leads into the 1982 film.

The wireframe effect when Pliskin is gliding into New York was done by constructing, painting and filming scale models. Computer animation would have been way too expensive.

Vidya shit: the working name for the VLIW compiler on the Atari Jaguar was Low-Level Assembler for Merlin Architecture, they also had the Abstract-Level Packing Assembler.

When a hawk moth caterpillar feels threatened, it flips over and inflates it’s body into the shape of a pit viper’s head (complete with the little black marks on its tummy forming eyes) to ward off predators.
clever little bastards, those Hawk Moth Caterpillars.

The triceratops in Jurassic Park was originally more green than brown but Steven Spielberg thought it would look better as a solid brown. ILM didn't have time to repaint the animatronic so they just covered it in dirt and touched it up with a quick spray of latex paint.

Some of the best games ever made... My favourite game of all time is Llamatron... Fun fact, because of the Corona, my mate has had to cancel a load of stuff, one was gonna be Yak running Tripatron and his new VR music visualizer live... Such a sound guy... (Pic is my own)...

When in waiting rooms or when I travel I sometimes just sit and think about Hover Bovver. People talk about the key to games being art is creating believable characters, situations and locales that makes the player have the feels and relate to the raw humanity of it. Someone "borrowing" their neighbors lawn mover like a next door meth head and then sending the dog to make the owner back off when he tries to take it back feels more human and recognizable than most of the highly praised "vidya is art" games these days.

That, and it was really good gameplay... Minter is a legend... Even his blatant Robotron rippoff, was far better and more fun than the original. Same as his Tempest, but at least with that he was taken on board by Atari, hence the Jag having those acronyms. Such a shame his other Tempest didn't get released...
edit: He also did the visualizer for the XBox 360, the Jag CD and something he still develops called NUONv2... (NUON was originally XBox 360, but he has gone way further than that with it now). Now it's full next gen and full VR... Guy is a fucking legend, and has some very nice friendly goats... Llamas are cunts in general so no comment on them.

That and it was a game built around gameplay with a silly story to frame it that works very well. Compare that to many other games where it feels like they have a story to tell, attach the prettiest graphics and cut-scenes to it and there's also a game to play. Why not make a movie if you're making so many non-interactive cut-scenes? Well, the movie wouldn't do so good because the story isn't really that great or well written...
Hover Bovver, as simple as it is, is strangely believable in a way.

I'm the sort of person too, that if I want a real story, I watch a film or read a book... Hovver Bovver is certainly not cinematic with it's plot, but I don't care, and I like that... But it was fun, and replayable... Llamatron doesn't even have a story and as far as I'm concerned it's the best game ever made.

The first film released on DVD was twister, the first film released on Blu Ray was Disney's Dinosaur, and the last film released on laser disc was sleepy hollow almost 21 years after it was introduced as Disco vision in 1978.

Last ever VHS that got a proper release was A History of Violence.
edit:
OK, last ever VHS was Disney's Cars, but it wasn't available on shop shelves. Last ever Disney was Bambi 2...

Nirvana released Live! Tonight! Sold Out!! November 1994, but there were not only 3 different versions on laserdisc, but also 22 versions on VHS, and one anomaly... There is a genuine version on VCD... VCD is usually asian pirated DVD but there is one... It was released same day as the US laserdisc and US VHS...
There was also a South Korean exclusive VHS released in December 1994, that found it's way to North Korea, so there are a surprising amount of Nirvana fans in NK...
There are only 3 versions of the remastered and rereleased DVD though, and none of them were specific to Asian markets. There was just Europe, Americas and Asia.

Chuck Yeager was the first man to break the sound barrier and survive. There had been others who broke it as far back as WW2, but they all were in a death spiral or a full power dive that broke them up as the first serious trans-sonic shockwaves started to ripple around them. Some German pilots claim a few Stuka's created sonic booms when the dive brakes failed to engage and the immediately shattered a few hundred feet from the ground before impacting at incredible speeds

John Cazele had bone cancer during The Deer Hunter and was so ill the producers almost fired him due to insurance problems. Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep threatened to drop off if they fired him. In the end, Cazele had his scenes be filmed first while De Niro covered his insurance, Al Pacino took him to his radial treatment sessions and Meryl Streep took the role in the miniseries Holocaust to help his health insurance. He never got the see the final film due to his death in March 1978. The film of course was the third film of Cazele's five film career to win Best Picture (the others being The Godfather and The Godfather Part II). The other two films he was in was The Conversation and Dog Day Afternoon were nominated for Best Picture as well.
Speaking of Godfather, in Godfather Part III, it was rumored that the scene where Pacino breaks down into tears confessing he had Fredo killed was Pacino really crying about the loss of Cazele since the two were very close.
