- Fun fact about one of the best movies ever: Four live octopodes were eaten for the scene with Dae-su in the sushi bar, a scene which provoked some controversy abroad. Eating live octopus in Korea is commonplace although it is usually sliced first. When the film won the Grand Prix at Cannes, the director thanked the octopodes along with the cast and crew. Choi Min-sik is a Buddhist and had to pray after eating the octopi.
- I love this show. Hope season 2 will be as good as S1

- The Netflix series Baby Reindeer is based on the play by Richard Gadd. Richard Gadd is Donny from the show and the person who lived these events in real life. I am shocked!
- The Thing (1982) by John Carpenter
A research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.
80s one of the best movies and the poster is one of the best posters I've ever seen
- In Sir Michael Caine's opinion, Heath Ledger beat the odds and topped Jack Nicholson's Joker from Batman (1989): "Jack was like a clown figure, benign but wicked, maybe a killer old uncle. He could be funny and make you laugh. Heath's gone in a completely different direction to Jack, he's like a really scary psychopath. He's a lovely guy and his Joker is going to be a hell of a revelation in this picture." Caine bases this belief on a scene where The Joker pays a visit to Bruce Wayne's penthouse. He'd never met Ledger before, so when Ledger arrived and performed, he gave Caine such a fright, he forgot his lines.
- Psycho (1960)
Director Sir Alfred Hitchcock bought the rights to the novel anonymously from Robert Bloch for only $ 9,000. He then bought up as many copies of the novel as he could, to keep the ending a secret.

- Dune: Part One (2021)
Composer Hans Zimmer is a big fan of the novel Dune, and turned down working with frequent collaborator Christopher Nolan on Tenet (2020) to score this film. For the same reason, Denis Villeneuve was the top choice but turned down the offer to direct the Bond film No Time to Die (2021).
- According to the director Pete Docter, each emotion is based on a shape: Joy is based on a star, Sadness is a teardrop, Anger is a fire brick, Fear is a raw nerve, and Disgust is broccoli. He noted that he likes broccoli very much, however.
- I just voted "Yes" on "Aptos Foundation and Layer Zero Proposal" https://snapshot.org/#/stgdao.eth/proposal/0xcf50734221eca0c197e6d78aa9a4ccf7f5a823088718b3bfa849b1342a7e7840 #Snapshot
- The darkest Batman ever
- Much of the film's dialogue is improvised, while completely honoring the structure of the original screenplay. After rehearsing for three weeks with his cast, Sidney Lumet took the improvisations from those rehearsals and made that the official screenplay.
- Jordan Belfort: Brad, show them how it's done. Sell me that pen. Watch. Go on.
Brad: You want me to sell you this fucking pen?
Jordan Belfort: That's my boy right there. Can fucking sell anything.
Brad: Why don't you do me a favor. Write your name down on that napkin for me.
Jordan Belfort: I don't have a pen.
Brad: Exactly. Supply and demand, my friend.
- While scenes were being shot in Mia Farrow's apartment, she and several of her children lived there and went about their daily routines. The family was careful not to interrupt production, or to do anything that would affect the shooting schedule, but the situation was hectic for family and crew alike. Michael Caine likened the situation to watching an intimate home movie. He recalled that one moment, Farrow would be feeding her children dinner, and the assistant director would tell her that she was needed on-set. She would put down the kitchen utensils, walk into the next room, and begin to act.
- Amon Goeth: You want these people?
Oskar Schindler: These people. My people. I want my people.
Amon Goeth: Who are you? Moses?
- Adrien Brody became the youngest person to date to win an Academy Award for Best Actor when he won for this film at the age of 29.
- ''Quentin Tarantino worked on the script for almost a decade''.
In my humble opinion, the script is truly exceptional and stands out as one of the best examples of writing I have come across.
- Confession
I do not like plane movies
- Reportedly, Haley Joel Osment got the role of Cole Sear for one of three reasons. First, he was best for it. Second, he was the only boy at auditions who wore a tie. Third, director M. Night Shyamalan was surprised when he asked Osment if he read his part. Osment replied, "I read it three times last night." Shyamalan was impressed, saying, "Wow, you read your part three times?" To which Osment replied, "No, I read the script three times."
- There is no better approach to manage a biography. It was great! I was adored.
Want to mention that the Oppenheimer cast is exceptional on every level imaginable. I dare you to point out one performance that wasn't outstanding.

- **LIP-4: Profile Guardian**
We're creating a proposal to add a safety layer into Lens Protocol profiles to help Lens users to protect against phishing scams.
NFT owners including Lens profiles have been recently targeted with phishing attempts. While it's disheartening to see people lose their NFTs or profiles, we want to be proactive and innovate on the safety standards for NFTs.
We are introducing Profile Guardian which disables certain critical actions such as approvals and transfers for Lens profiles. Profile Guardian is enabled by default and can be opted-out if profile owners want to move it to a new address.
Disabling it will activate a 7-day cooldown period. During the 7-day cooldown period, services such as Lens API can track and provide the data to clients, who can notify users that their profiles are in an unsafe state, and recommend actions to secure the profile.
We hope Profile Guardian inspires others to improve end-user security when interacting with NFTs, especially as more users onboard into the web3 space.
Full Proposal: https://github.com/lens-protocol/LIPs/pull/18

- I don't know if it is true but here it is quite interesting trivia:
While shooting aerial footage over Greenland, the second unit camera crew accidentally filmed a secret US military base. Their plane was forced down, and the crew was suspected of being Soviet spies.

Heyyo Frens! Let's restart the app! 💜
- Fixed: Cred score indicator displayed all time earned Cred points instead of claimed Cred in 30 days period. ✅
- Fixed: 30-day Cred cycle starts from day 1 instead of 0. ☑️
And what does that mean?
As you know, Cred is a 30-day cycle. At the end of the 30th day, your Cred score is reset and you continue to enjoy the privileges of the level you reached last month. However, you start at 0 Cred and Level1 for next cycle. If you are not active during this cycle, you will lose the Level you gained last month. So actually the whole purpose is to reward active users. Remember, if you don't open the app, your daily Cred points are not added to your account. You have to be active every day, if you want to get those Creds. 🆙
Another thing is that the Cred 30-day cycle is not the same for everyone. Users who signed up before the Cred launch date, i.e. May 17th, have a common cycle. After May 17th, the cycle of users who become a member for the first time starts on the day they sing up the first account. In other words, the Cred cycles of users who signed up an account after the Cred launch date are different from each other.🟣
In line with this information, as you know, the Cred cycle should have been completed for old users on June 16th, but there was an error and users continued to earn Cred. In this process, users who leveled up in the last 5 days were downgraded according to their original Cred cycle. ⬇️
The team has fixed this issue with this update. Keep in mind that this is the first version of Cred and we continue to improve the system with your feedback. Thank you very much for your understanding and support. 💜
- Magnum Opus!!!
Let me share something interesting:
It is a common misconception that a Roman emperor put his thumb upwards to signify that a gladiator was to be spared, whereas thumb down meant that there would be no mercy for a downed gladiator. In reality, this gesturing was the other way around: thumb up symbolized a sword action (and thus death), and thumb down a sheathed sword (mercy). The crew was aware of this while making the movie, but since "thumbs up" is considered to be a good sign nowadays, they decided not to unnecessarily confuse the audience.
