The design has changed over the years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baton_%28law_enforcement%29 Including how to use them. There is a paragraph in there, on how to apply one, as a policeman. A BlackJack will get more of a persons attention. A policeman would not carry one, but a thug who wants your wallet would not mind using one. A person properly trained, can knock you unconscious with one well-directed blow. It doesn't even take a big swing. Just a "tap" will do it, if you know the technique. You'll regain consciousness maybe ten minutes later. Anyone unfamiliar with the thing, could fracture your skull. Police batons in modern times, the mass is not optimized for destruction. After all, the officers gun has to have some function. The design of trauma is all too easy. A policeman killed someone here with one punch. How ? His gloves happened to have Kevlar inserts in the knuckles (that's like brass knuckles without brass metal). The gloves were not approved for police usage. You can buy the gloves on Ebay. We've come a long way from the 2x4 :-) Paul

Also, the annoying shaking picture. I remember with my local AMC Theatre
for Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull movie since we got there late
(no reserved seats). :(

Things like that happen, in a "Ten-Plex". we have
some theaters here, with ten viewing rooms. This
means for low-grade schlock movies, you're sitting
in a relatively small ("narrow") viewing room. Maybe only
one room at the Ten-Plex is suited to "feature" items
or things like 70mm. The operator in those facilities,
back in the regular projection days, was run off his
feet, loading cans and queuing up stuff.
Modern theaters have replaced all that, with full
digital projection. And that has changed the failure
modes somewhat. You might find conventional
projectors at art theaters, where the film still
arrives in cans. Some of the movies, the content is
so poor, it's a good thing the digital representation
can be immediately deleted, after a limited run :-)
On some long running TV series, they were erasing the
storage used for the first season, and using it to
store a succeeding season, leading to complete loss
of any copies of the early versions. The advent of
film-less photography, encourages all sorts of
silly behavior.

Buff.
I don't think we have any theatre in Spain using actual film, it is all
digital. Maybe 16 mm still exists? I doubt it.
I was a projectionist for an amateur cinema club, in the 80's.

It was an old theater. The theatre finally got remodelled when Rogue One
came out. So much better! New seats, screens, audio, etc.

Didn't the introductory bit have a "millions of years ago, somewhere
in Kenya" flag on it? I seem to remember that that was how *I* knew
that those weren't contemporary New Yorkers.
Though the "millions" was a little iffy as those monkeys looked a
little too human to be pre-human. They looked very much like furries.
Or ball-players before their morning's shaving.
It would have been interesting had the company hired some Bonobos for
that scene. Or, since it was Kunrick and he was a stickler for
authenticity, maybe they could have Time Travelled and brought in some
Habilises? Or used Members of England's Parliament, which are just
about the same thing only less evolved?

A hint that *Time* in vast chunks had just passed and that "Things
Have Changed A Bit Since We Last Saw Our Heroes".
They used to do it in movies with whirling clocks and falling
calendar pages, or, in the case of "The Time Machine", with a sky full
of a circling Sun.
The Bone-to-spaceship morphing was cool. The girly waitressing in the
Shuttle was also cool. Even knowing how they did it, it is still a
brilliant piece of cinematography to watch.
>
>> We've had lots of Moonbases in the last thirty-odd years.
I meant "in the last few years since Moonbase Alpha ran away. Of
course we've had others well before that. Many, many others.
Well ... *we* haven't, unless you count six temporary camping sites
and a couple of caravans going around and around, but theoretical
alternative History "we's" have had.
Hell, even the Germans have had Moonbases since 1940-something. The
"Iron Sky" documentary tells us about those. And "ID-5 : The Return Of
The Evil Ones" shows us a lovely little Moonbase with a Reaaly Big
Gun. [Does anyone have a copy of the first three movies? "ID-1" to
"ID-3"? I can't find any.]
Can you tell that I don't get out enough?
J.
Question: if alternative realities are real, as in the Multiverse
Theories, are all of those other "me's" legally me? Does that mean I
need to wait for all of the wives to die before I can remarry? Am I
committing polygamy if I don't? Can I raid their bank accounts and
fridges? Can I shoot people here and claim that, statistically and
numerically, no one died because millions and millions and
quadrilliards of him are still alive so the dead one is just a tiny,
little blip and of no consequence? Has anyone ever tried that one? Is
this Off Topic? :)

Has anyone ever tried that one? Is this Off Topic? :) I think about alternate realities a lot. Especially ones where my life has been better. However, I do realize that even if I could move over, it would be wrong. That's somebody else's life. BTW, I have a program on my computer that semi-randomly selects a quotation every day to put in my sig.
