Same, and same.

the second one mostly, but also a bit of the first.

What was meant by that gag? She found a prince? She married into royalty? She never married at all? What does that ending mean?

 

At the end there's a lot of matching up going on, except for Fiona who is practically photoshopped into a gag image of Prince Charles.

I feel they did her character a big disrespect, as she was easily one of the more interesting female characters.

You just need to break the syntax apart and look at it from the LHS and the RHS seperately.

In layman's terms: constantine felt boxed in by his social class which left him often at dagger-ends to the operations on his car. Unable to keep up with the constant payments, he defaulted on the loan.

See? Easy.

If nails were standardised then yeah all this would be overkill. But new nails and heck, wood types are coming out all the time, and you definitely can't build a spice rack with the wrong tools.

I love Captain D, the way he takes apart a scene in Blender is an art form in itself.

I guess the question I'm asking is, normally when editing comes into play you can sort of notice it through one way or another. There's an uncannyness to it that makes it jarring, whereas in Austin Powers I never once clocked on that I was watching the same person. Did they use really sophisticated techniques for this? Was the campiness and comedic tone of the film itself a good distraction from any editing goofs?

If it was a more sombre film, would I notice it more I wonder?

Edit: @Aurenkin mentions the ping-pong scene in the 2019 Moon film, which has a more mature tone and the editing there was definitely flawless.

 

Three of the main characters were the same actor, and yet there are shots with all of them in the same scene. When I saw this as a young adult I didn't even notice that Mike Myers was playing three roles and was genuinely dumbfounded years later when I found out.

How did they do those scenes so seamlessly?

I love how Tobias immediately knows.

For real. I just spent a decade in academia working dog hours with little pay keeping services running wondering how the true devs and sysadmins do it.

I recently switched to the corporate world and have peeked behind curtain of competency: headless chickens running around, patching failing products rather than spending time to properly fix them because immediate results are the only metric that counts.

Stability, scalability, reproducibility? Forget it, that's someone else's problem apparently.

Yeah but how do you use it? There's no searchable index as far as I've seen

Its also one you don't have any agency over.

(I'm living under the dreamful pretence that the american people can hold their intelligence agencies at least somewhat in check)

Ours plays the 1979 hit Music Box Dancer which is weird because it's definitely not public domain.
