Kudus to your costume designer.

Much more ecologically sound to wear the birds live than just their feathers…

And it helps keep costs from spiralling, so you’re not always on the horns of a dilemma.

It’s recently come out that it sometimes descends into parasitism.
If there isn’t enough ticks they will find, or even make, a wound and suck/lick blood. The up side to that though is that they then watch the wound for flies to start showing up. The birds keep the wounds clean.

Still not much “up” to that side.

They keep the wounds clean..

It’s like saying we broke down your door, stole the food in your freezer, and made ourselves dinner, but don’t worry, we washed the dishes.

But more life-threatening.

Which implies they would do the same for accidental wounds as well, So two wins to one loss…

Yes,

this is…
Another scene from The Twilight Zone episode titled “To Serve Man”.

I thought there were special effects involved, but

in fact …
Richard Kiel, playing the alien, was actually 7′ 1½” tall. He later played “Jaws” in a couple of Bond films.

The actress is Susan Cummings… her height wasn’t mentioned on Wikipedia or IMDb.

At last!

A movie with not just the women in skimpy costumes!

It’s a barely clad male charioteer!

Too bad about who it is, and about a lot of plot points that are sort of almost antisemitic …. at least it’s not all men in full armor and women in a few bits of cheesecloth.

You need two things:
1   For the U.R.L. to work properly (if it does work properly wait for the count down timer to finish and click the site link).
2   1 hour 23 minutes and 34 seconds to watch the movie.

I gotta search it to make certain… I just got home, and I need to post the puzzle solution and look at the rest first.

But I’m pretty sure that’s the live-action TinTin movie.

Okay, yes… it’s TinTin… the 2011 Steven Spielberg animated version.

I’m not sure why i said live action, cos I knew better. I think I just meant realistic, as opposed to the original Hergé cartoon style.

….

Also, it was live action in a sense. You just didn’t see it.

It was done with motion capture… Jamie Bell (who will always be Billy Elliot to me) played TinTin in the studio, but computers tracked his performance and it was animated for the screen.

That method had been controversial for years… I especially remember the spooky motion capture used for Polar Express, with it’s uncanny valley performance by Tom Hanks.

But Andy Serkis was very successfully captured, IMHO, as Gollum, in the LOTR movies… And TinTin was supposed to be good. It disappeared around here before I could see it.

I have watched a one year old baby eat/wear ice cream for the first time in her life. There is no cuter image in life than that.
Had she been able to conjure the language, she would have been asking “Why am I just learning of this now?

I first tasted ice cream at three years old. It was on the Queen Mary when we were immigrating to Canada. I still remember the sensation of “WOW! that’s the most amazing thing I’ve ever tasted!!!” seventy-two years later.

Friday night, Cleo fans and puzzledoers..

Sorry to say, I was out, having taken the precaution of making sure my puzzle solution link was available on my phone, so I could post it from wherever….

What I didn’t expect was can’t that in wherever, T Mobile might be having an outage. It was supposed to be resolved around the time I left, but I had to get home.

Home sweet home, where my Internet is okay.

You’ve had extra time… have you found all the differences?

The lady is birdwatching, surrounded by gorgeous tropical birds.

So she’s probably watching a little brown wren.

We can’t see the object of her focus… but we can focus on the TEN things that don’t match between the panels.

Here are the ones

I FOUND!

Checked again, and found one more which put me on nine. Couldn’t find the tenth so I had to look at Susan’s solution.

because that was my tenth, and took longer to find than all the rest.

If I were standing on the street below I think I’d want to run!

Why do they work on some middle floors, even installing windows, before walling in the ones below?

More_Cats_Than_Sense
Reply to  SusanSunshine

I did wonder that myself, and I found this picture that shows the change in the stonework and the two ledges below the cladding on the upper section. The stone from ground level has one more sets of windows and a ledge to go. I would think that They were using a couple of teams to do the external cladding, so started the second team higher up. It’s something you do see on taller buildings.

Interestingly, on this later picture you can see the changes that have been made to the cladding at ground level.

In the first picture, it looks like there’s a whole rounded corner section on every floor that hasn’t been added yet… the “point” in the finished building.

But there are exterior windows on those partially finished floors… with a large one on each of the flat end walls that have seemingly disappeared in your picture.

I’m having trouble counting windows and floors in that image to make sure I’m looking in the right place,…. and you and I count floors differently anyway.

I do know that by now there’s definitely an added round-cornered space on the ground floor… it’s being used for an art gallery. We saw pictures of a Hopper exhibition there.

But it could be the bottom corner we can see in the second picture, or an even bigger space added later.

It has been extensively remodelled externally at least a couple of times.

One Times Square: the iconic New York skyscraper and its transformation

And I know realise that the picture I now posted showing the ‘finished’ building, is actually the ‘Flatiron Building’ in Manhattan……..

Whoops!!!
