Short doc about the origins of Johnnie's Coffee Shop and the La Brea corner.

Most interesting fact, to me, was that there were two air fields on that corner in the 20s, both owned by celebrity families.

Film Size comparison shows why IMAX image quality is superior.

It may be obvious to some, but the size of 70mm IMAX film stock allows for more image definition and better focal range with less enlargement distortion. If you can, it's highly recommended to see a film shot in 70mm IMAX (like "The Odyssey") at a theatre that's projecting an actual 70mm print; it's worth the effort.

Without any prompts, this is what AI thinks RDJ is doing in this image. Strange...

Adobe Photoshop has a tool named "Generative Fill," where you can add missing pieces of images. Generative Fill allows you to add prompts to suggest things like "add flowers" or "complete wall." Without any prompts, Generative Fill will just do what it wants; that's when it gets interesting. Out of 9 images, 8 of them had RDJ pulling his hair. Only one has his arms down. Not sure what about the original image would suggest this.
