Apparently it includes “Charlie Bit My Finger.” And a lot of random stuff https://gizmodo.com/the-42-weirdest-movies-on-osama-bin-ladens-computer-1820046327
I tried to run the same image in it a few times. http://imgur.com/5Hsuoiy
Since you have this all set up, can you make some feedback loop animations for example with zooming? Or apply this to each frame of a movie? For example something famous like Charlie Bit My Finger. Hopefully using the deeper more horrifying setting.
Adjusted for inflation, the top 5 highest grossing films in history were made in 1956, 1982, 1965, 1977, and 1939. Super blockbusters like Avatar are not new phenomena, they're merely par for the course.
Meanwhile, people are spending more time using computers or playing games, and that necessarily takes away from time and money spent watching tv or movies. More so, Hollywood no longer has a lock on the video entertainment people watch. More people have watched "charlie bit my finger" on youtube than have watched any show on broadcast tv currently. But more than that there are new, highly popular forms of video entertainment being produced which have very little to do with Hollywood. And many of these people are already making a living off of these works.
Imagine what will happen in the coming years when video production and hosting is even more ubiquitous and cheap and more people can opt to self-produce and self-distribute and take the lion's share of the revenues (from ads, direct sales, merch, live events, etc.)
Sooner than we realize the old power structures will fall away as more and more artists decide to keep control and profit for their works in their own hands.
"Charlie Bit My Finger" is a specious example. It's a 56s clip like one you'd see on America's Funniest Home Videos, a program filled with viewer-submitted content and a counterargument to "By Moms, For Moms." Two questions raised here: How does "Charlie" stack up against American Idol, Dancing With The Stars, and the Superbowl in terms of total viewer-hours? More important, how many of us are willing to sit through 1.5h movies with "Charlie" production values?
