Cary Grant, set visitor Ann Sheridan, who is not in the movie, director Frank Capra and Peter Lorre on the set, with film crew, during the filming of Arsenic And Old Lace, in 1944.
Wonderful movie, even if the play is a perpetual sophomore year high school performance, and I’ve seen it so many times.. Fun watching 14-year-olds trying to play old people, in grey wigs and glued on mustaches…. but the movie, of course, is way better.
Honestly, I only recognized Cary Grant and Peter Lorre on my own, and most sites only identified them and Ann Sheridan.
A couple listed Capra, as well.. but none mentioned that fellow, who doesn’t look familiar to me, or the one we partially see in the foreground.
Since the descriptions mostly said they were with the crew, I thought maybe that’s what they those two are… But they’re wearing suits, which seems a bit overdressed.
Sometimes something can be “good enough” till you find.it being hyped as magnificent… and then … well…
Like, I thought this was cute, but not great… and I was kinda annoyed by the bad imitation of a Van Gogh sky… but at least it’s a real acrylic painting, and oh well, I know I’m picky.
Then I tracked it down, and found the person who did it posting as“Van Gogh’ … and commenters calling it incredible…
… and somebody said “Van Gogh’s Starry Night is a masterpiece but it’s made better here by the addition of a cat”..
Better! Better than a famous Van Gogh masterpiece!!
No. No it is not.
Sorry… just pardon me, pretty please, while I run away screaming.
Add the Gorzirra monster from below, and THEN you have an improvement on a Van Gogh painting. Poor guy just lived too soon, or he surely would have added at least one, or maybe a handful, right?
The person who made it didn’t draw it either… didn’t do anything great.
I’m talking about the one on top, with Godzilla.
AI means you tell the program what you want, and the computer assembles bits of drawings, color schemes and techniques it has copied … read that “stolen” ….from other people’s real work, and spits out a digital print, so you can put your name on it.
The supposed artist has nothing to do with the drawing or coloration beyond a few basic instructions, or sometimes pushing virtual buttons meaning “do another one with with bigger brushstrokes and more greenish tones”.
Expression is meh because the program has no feelings or reactions, and can’t judge what they should be.
The anime girl was probably drawn by a real person…. though there are programs to help with that, and by now probably AI too. You would have to tell it the expression you want.
Yeah, that’s probably part of what “trained” the AI.
One thing I love about those old Toho movies and collaborations is when the live crowd scenes are filmed completely separately from the stop motion monster scenes …
So they almost seem unrelated in spite of the people screaming and overreacting to things they can’t really see.
“Oh lordy, I wonder whether tomorrow I can leave him at the tree…
Will the other moms think he’s too light?
I just know that #&@! Florence Fox will tell me how she carried her precious little Freddy till he weighed 5 ¡#@! pounds…
But my back hurts.
Maybe Tuesday??”
Since toons use them to talk to each other, maybe speech balloons have some sort of built-in mechanism… kinda the way a gambrel keeps a candle upright when the ship rolls… that keeps them facing whoever is trying to read them.

Be afraid! Be very afraid! Hisss…
Either there’s a great crested grebe that got cropped off of this picture, or this goose has delusions of grandeur.
Ahh, the delusions of gander.
Good job goosing it up.

Casper and friend.
It’s Moby Dirk, the white basset! Legendary nemesis of Captain Baha.
“Aye, aye! and I’ll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition’s flames before I give him up.”
I don’t care whether it’s Casper the Friendly Basset or Moby Dirk… as long as it’s not the EWB.

Now you’ve got me asking
I wondered, too…

Man, these contacts aren’t working well at distances! I think it’s a bad prescription.

Shoulda gone home one beer ago.

Or maybe LMDO?

You’ve gotten a cat drunk?
Shame!
Claude Monet
Oooh….
What else is there to say?
Looks like that boy couldn’t draw a straight line if his life depended on it!
He was assigned to draw every petal exactly as they appeared. I’m afraid that we’ll have to fail him again! His father will be soooo upset! 😉
I’ve been to Giverny but I didn’t see any windmills. Just lilies. Lots and lots of lilies.

Such a patient model too.
And such a realistic portrait, too.
Does he have a bunny on his head in the drawing?
looks to me it’s not only the ears but the cartoon head of a bunny on top
That’s what I see too.
I didn’t know Toulouse-Lautrec had an emotional support animal…
.
Im not surprised.
I’m surprised it took him that long!
Well, it looks like he needed machinery to help him do it.
We still haven’t had the first president to fly… I mean, you know… unassisted.
That really WAS Air Force One.

I would expect to see a little more of this in the one above.
Everybody is so nonchalant, so stoic.
But I suppose AI generated people don’t understand much about emotion.
Better than what I can draw. I do think it is great in the coloration. Expression is a little Meh though.
The person who made it didn’t draw it either… didn’t do anything great.

Then why not comment on the one you meant?
Clearly a photograph.
“Well, There Goes The Festival!” By K. Jackson Katts, who describes it as AI generated.
Who would have thought…
From the movie:
Yeah, that’s probably part of what “trained” the AI.

2016…
Oh… I can’t tell the difference.
I’ve seen too many, but none of the modern ones.
I don’t get to go to many movies, and don’t go to theaters at all since covid, though I know 2016 is pre-pandemic.
Is this one of the animatronic ones?
From what I can make out, the crowd looks just as detached as in the 1950s.

Tons of CGI, but live-action.
I don’t remember Van Gogh painting that one…

Must be ‘lion’ low….
But it just can’t hide its lion eyes…
Yup.
Yes I see them….
… if we can assume that the clearly visible creature in the foreground is the elk.
If it’s not, but merely some innocent bystander-creature, like, I dunno, a stray donkey….and I’m supposed to see an elk elsewhere…. I don’t.
But I do see the mountain lion, in either case.
Flying Fox with her baby. She will carry baby until it’s too heavy to carry, then she’ll leave baby in a communal tree.
Love the expression on her face.

If life hands you lemons….
As it’s ‘Bunday’…..
Awww…
Just in case anybody still wants to know… I guess I was a little late coming back in the afternoon on yesterday’s page….
But I posted that cast list some people were asking about, and I researched that car that it turns out is neither a Rolls Royce nor a Mercedes…
And posted about the teapot gas station too, just for good measure. But not good timing.
Oh well.
