Reply to TIL The SX 70 Land, released in 1972, was the first instant camera to use automatic-developing integral film, meaning no waste to clean up, as all process chemicals are permanently stored in the print by Ok_Copy5217
I used to collect them. I had about 30 of them. I would pick them at thrift stores and garage sales. I don't think I ever paid more than $5.
For a long time they were pretty much useless because you couldn't buy film. When someone started making film again they became a hot fad and I sold every one I had on eBay for an average of $125.
I also had over 100 flashbars that I sold for $10 each.

Bridge on the River Kwai was pretty much completely made up but it was a good movie.

When comedian Craig Furgeson came to America from Scotland his friends took him to a place where you could buy liquor, guns, fireworks, get married and divorced all without getting out of your car and he knew he had come to the right place.

I think a better example of his is Punch Drunk Love.

I liked it back in the day but I tried rewatching it a few weeks ago and other than Rodney Dangerfield it's not good.

Movie and TV actors often have a middle initial because the Screen Actors Guild will not allow two actors with the same name.

I'm pretty sure the longest movie I've ever watched all the way through is Shoa at 9:26.
It was worth it.
