Richard Stanley was hired to direct "The Island of Doctor Moreau" but was replaced by John Frankenheimer after a few days of shooting. However, Stanley considered the film to be his baby (he co-wrote the script) and didn't want to leave. So he disguised himself as one of the mutants and secretly remained on the shoot.

You can watch the documentary about the shooting of this B-movie and it's full of weird details like that. It's called "Lost Soul: the doomed journey of Richard Stanley's Island of Doctor Moreau"

Is that David Frum, speechwriter to the Bush Jr administration? Writer of speeches about the axis of evil? Writer of speeches to whip up frenzy for an invasion of Iraq? An invasion based on lies? That David Frum?

Calculator?! Those thieving, energy-sucking piles of garbage! Abacus till I die!

But seriously, AI is insidious in how it data mines us to give us answers, and data mines our questions to build profiles of users. I distrust assurances of anonymity by big data corpos.

They have noses worthy of being our successor species. Something you'd see on the cover of a sci-fi novel called "Children of Earth" or something.........1000013525

Let's not have advertising slogans in posts about products here on Lemmy. Reddit really has that going on if you're into it.

Thanks for your thoughtful answer. I agree that so much is at stake with diet. It all changed for me when I hit 40. I'm going to have to think about the manageable pieces of diet you mentioned. That appeals to me as practical.

The article states that there is no evidence that this is caused by Russia. But then goes on to speculate that it's caused by Russia. Journalistic standards have fallen.

Why do you think it is especially difficult to follow this diet now? I keep trying to implement it myself but find the high effort required difficult to sustain, given other demands on my attention and will power.
