  • A few different film techniques.

    they could film the actor in different costumes on the same set without moving the camera, and then they put those performances together.

    so you can have the profile of Austin powers on the left talking to the profile of Dr. evil on the right, and those were separate performances pasted together so it looks like they’re responding to each other even though Mike Myers was performing those conversations separately during different recordings.

    If evil and Austin are in the same shot and it’s an over-the-shoulder, the actor facing the camera is the real actor and the guy not facing the camera is a body double with the same hair or bald mask

    so if you were looking at Austin and Dr. evil in the same shot, either those are two separate performances put together and you’ll see that they never touch each other, or if they do touch each other, you’ll notice that you never see the frontal face of one of the actors, which is actually a body double.

    and you can see these two techniques and others used in Eddie Murphy’s movies, or pretty much any body double move movie.














  • do you mean it doesn’t correct your misspellings as you type or it doesn’t correct your search terms?

    mine corrects my search terms if i type colude instead of collude or something,

    " is am a pronoun" gives me “am is not a pronoun”.

    there are a few results under that mentioning that “am” should be used with pronouns, heavily implying that it isn’t a pronoun itself.

    that’s a tricky search because “am” is such a small and common word, I get more direct results (after the direct answer from duckassist) If I put quotes around am, like

    is “am” a pronoun?

    sorry it didn’t work out for you, are you trying other browsers or reverting to the googs?




  • I’m partial to the Newtonian explanation myself, I was explaining my interest the first time I saw an illustration of the Bernoulli principle.

    in fact, I just wrote about The Newtonian explanation a few minutes ago:

    "the Newtonian makes more practical end complete sense to me sense to me as an explanation for a lift.

    maybe the confusion comes from calling the motion of pushing air down “lift”

    push-off.

    hm. what the heck is an appropriate antonym for lift…

    spring-hold.

    oh, buoyancy?

    maybe we should switch our talk from lift to buoyancy.

    rather than generating lift, velocity through the air generates aerodynamic buoyancy due to the increase in downward pressure, or rather the compressed air beneath the airfoil."


  • yeah, I’m with you, the Newtonian makes more practical end complete sense to me sense to me as an explanation for a lift.

  • “THAT PLANE JUST CRASHED AND BURST INTO A FIREBALL!!!”

    not the controlled landing that I was referring to, but I understand your comparison of the consequences.

    “and the ground is 5 feet below you, and you fuck up and drive it 150 feet”

    this is my favorite part of your scenario. a pilot literally less than a second from touching the ground glances out the window and thinks " well, just to make sure" and lunges forward, arms outstretched, pushing the joystick completely flat against the console hahaha.
