I'm holding back my opinion. Still not sure this was way more elaborate long range plan to capture El Chapo.

Haha. Someone clearly has a lot of time on their hands to come up with that idea.

I know, but ya know I'm laughing right there with them.

This is a different kind of WTF. It's more of a rant WTF.

Lately when I'm doing research on products, I go to YouTube to get a hands on perspective. To see it actually work.

I'm absolutely dumbfounded at watching videos that do everything but show the product in action. I'll see slide shows, static pictures and voice overs of the product, but not actual footage of the product. What's the point.

For instance I'm looking into Fire Hose Nozzles. I want to see. What they are capable of. I need to see a full demo. Every once in awhile, typically the products maker, just have a simple talky ad. Waste of time.

I typically need to see unbiased consumer demos.

But back to WTF. Show me the product. Show it all. Be truthful.

I'm sure I've posted about this sort of thing before, but it bears repeating: an article, this time on Vulture, about the pervasive use of digital face lifts in movies and TV.  I give Paul Reubens a lot of credit for admitting up front that he had this done in the new Pee-Wee flick, because no one else has really spoken about it.  And I had no idea that it was this pervasive, although I suppose it was inevitable.  I wonder how long it will be before all our movies are simply cartoons...  that is the ultimate level of control over a movie, after all.

Oh damn, I meant to post that in the "Cool Geekie Tech" thread, not this one.  Though I suppose it is weird.

I do remember this tech being used in Thor 2, switching Loki as Captain America to Chris Evans... but I'd be real curious to see an example of an actor being replaced that I wasn't aware of.

Is that for real? That looks like one of those horror shorts that has become big. Do a horror story in the shortest time possible.
