And he is shot and killed in You Only Live Twice. Edit: And it wouldn't be interesting to follow a spy who gets shot and killed. That he has survived so many escapades explains why films have been made about him.

It really took me out of the movie when I recalled that Star Wars takes place "a long time ago" when our written history only goes a several thousand years back, and the possibility of us receiving any sort of signal from a galaxy far, far away let alone another solar system is so remote that Star Wars can't possibly be an accurate retelling and is simple fiction.

The Japanese made a real version of the Truman show even before the movie came out, but with more sadistic-Japanese qualities. quote:The most infamous segment of Susunu! Denpa Shonen featured a 22-year-old comedian nicknamed Nasbui. His moniker meant “eggplant,” a reference to his long face, and he was hoping the show would kick-start his comic career. After he auditioned, producers said he’d appear on a segment that might or might not air, but if it ever reached the airwaves, Nasubi would become a star. The young man was then blindfolded and taken to a room that was empty aside from a radio, a gas burner, and a coffee table. There was essential plumbing, a small cushion, and strangely enough, piles of magazines. Other than that, the room was bare. The guy was live-streamed, naked, for 11 months. He won a bunch of weird poo poo like spice-girls movie tickets, a live lobster, and a "how to get rid of your body odour" VHS tape. They obviously fed him scraps of food now and then, but the producers pretty much treated him like garbage and you can clearly see the effects of starvation/isolation throughout the show.  The whole year has been cut into a 2 hour video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2GLb3yuFls e: Funniest part about it is that his show had something like 25 million viewers weekly (something like 5x the viewership of Game of Thrones), but the producers didn't even tell him it was even on the air Lupin fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Jun 3, 2016 |

Applewhite posted:Like, the dome didn't spring up overnight. For a period of several years the mile-high walls of the half constructed dome would have been visible from anywhere in the town. The show started with his birth, so they had at least 5 years before worrying about Truman noticing a giant dome construction project Also it helped keep anti-show protesters from just dropping proof that its all fake from the sky (at least not without having access to inside the dome) also it probably helped with sweeping establishing shots and surveillance

From the backstory created by the writer and director:quote:Costs were low in those early days – at first there was only the nursery set. Then, when ratings began to rise and sponsors of baby products clamored for their product to be used on the show, a kitchen was added. Then a garage for dad so his car could be featured, as well as all the tools in his workshop.

The dome was built in space by the hyper adaptive to space creatures that humanity has become, the actual viewers of the Truman Show, then dropped in overnight. Truman is entering an empty world; the only primitive type humans remaining are involved with the show production.
