CeruleanRuin, to movies in AI Movie Finder - Find a Movie by Describing it

So I tried to use this to identify a movie I remember seeing as a kid and haven’t been able to find since. I described the scene I remember, where an industrial accident releases freezing gas and a worker with a hard hat freezes his arm and it shatters.

As usual, when given specifics, the AI just straight makes shit up.

One movie that fits the description is “The Abyss” (1989), directed by James Cameron. Although it doesn’t involve a freezing gas, it does feature an industrial accident and a worker in a hard hat with a frozen arm. In the film, a team of deep-sea oil drillers encounters a mysterious alien species while working on an underwater drilling platform. During their mission, one of the workers, Bud Brigman (played by Ed Harris), gets his arm trapped in a closing hatch and it becomes frozen due to extreme cold temperatures. In his panic, he runs into a wall, shattering his frozen arm.

Specifically, it looks like digital artifacting.

CeruleanRuin, to piracy in What are some hidden gems and rare pieces of media? Maybe even deleted or lost on all legal distribution platforms?

Maybe not what you’re looking for, but fanedits are that thing to me. No body will ever see them on any streaming service or in a DVD bin at the store. They’re like treasures I can share only with other people who truly love movies as much as I do.

Also, I have the original special edition slip-case DVD of Dogma, which currently goes for as high as $19.95 on eBay!

That’s why I’m here! :)

It’s so good it even fools film crews.

Honestly that would be just as cool to me, if a little less useful.

Of course, that was for a close-up of the bill itself which was actually relevant to the plot.

Iirc, there’s nothing stopping a production from simply using real bills, aside from the cost. It’s really only when you see them in bulk that props are necessary. Plenty of shots where someone is counting their money will also use real bills just for simplicity’s sake, but that cash is tightly controlled by the props department and they’ll switch it out for fake bills for general use.

Both the uniform coloring and the size of US currency has long been a challenge for the vision-impaired here. Most other civilized countries have implemented different sizes for their bills and/or tactile features like “windows” that make it easier to identify a bill by touch.

This is incredible. Where did you find this? I need more.

It IS insane.

It’s our national baby blanket, with us from the beginning, and no matter how crusty and tattered it gets there’s no taking it away.

Most of my neighbors are total dick bags. Greeting them once was plenty.
