East Of Eden - Historic 1906 Salinas, CA aerial and a modern aerial of what was once the real Hamilton Ranch

Rereading Steinbeck’s East of Eden and found this amazing aerial of Salinas, CA in 1906 on the library of congress website. You can see the Steinbeck house close to center, but he was only 4 years old at the time. The red light district and Chinatown is on this side of the train tracks to the left, just off camera (where “Kate’s” was). Lots of real places in this photo that were mythologized and made it into the book. I also figured out where the Hamilton Ranch was about 40 minutes south and it’s still as lonely and barren as it was described.

Digging this look from River Cartwright on Slow Horses Season Two

I can probably duplicate this look pretty easily, but was wondering if anyone recognizes the specific brands, especially the green over shirt/jacket? It's a really deep rich green and seems fairly thick perhaps like virgin wool? Thanks! Source: Slow Horses -Season 02E03

Everything awful all in one movie. Christian propaganda, Kevin Sorbo and Ai. It's like if Tommy Wiseau's The Room had a Sora account.

An actor acquaintance who has recently become a right wing christian grifter posted this film he's in on his Instagram and he's very proud of it. This looks like it was mostly generated by Ai along with very poor green screen acting from the cast. Sadly, I'm sure it will do very well with Christian moviegoers and make a ton of money for faith based director producer Timothy A. Chey who probably doesn't pay anyone a living wage.
