For inventory management I bought some stuff from https://www.sustainablesupply.com/ They seem like they're maybe just a drop ship company but they say they buy carbon offsets when shipping UPS and they favor recycled materials, for whatever that's worth. Thanks for the tip on Paper Mart. I have two...

Since the emerging consensus here is that capturing the interpeter's perspective is a more urgent endeavor than any critical message the video may be sending, this profile, which a friend in MPLS sent me, might be of interest: https://m.startribune.com/can-t-stop-watching-the-asl-interpreter-for-gov...

I would prefer not to engage in meaningless debate about this very inconsequential piece of "video art" that I've posted, which you've obviously misunderstood.

Thanks for that perspective, [mention]jamessumneriii[/mention] . As I said above, my imagined audience for this is someone like me with no fluency in ASL. I also acknowledged above that it likely wasn't their intention to undermine the public statement. It sounds like that is indeed likely, given yo...

Is this video supposed to have sound? Thanks for asking! No. Watching it without sound, I was mesmerized by the ASL interpreter's performance. While I'm sure it was not their intention, it seemed to me that the performance could only be read as a commentary on the careless stupidity of the speakers...

Yay! Here is mine: You will hear them before you see them, rummaging through dried leaves for insects, snails, seeds, fruit and occasionally small amphibians.

For the record, I was joking about the French title being "Señor Splat."

It was a very good joke.

For the record: the movie is MR. MOM (1983)

According to IMdB, the official French title was "Señor Splat."

Geez you're so close but still not there!

I think you could probably get it from the mise-en-scene. Maybe especially from the 4:3 still, which shows "a little too much" of the disheveled bed...

I apologize to all for the poor quality of my "stills." Perhaps a third one in yet another aspect ratio would help?

It is not Fire in the Sky.

For a hint I will say that the genre of this film is "comedy."

It's not Batteries Not Included. But it does have Spielberg lighting in at least one shot, as you can clearly see.

For your reference, here's the same shot at 16:9:

Here's how I see it: birds and humans have a deep historical connection. Environmental situations that are good for birdy are usually good for our man kind. Plus don't you think that maybe our early ancestors got the idea of speech from birds? Yes but describe a Mystery Bird for the contest please....

So sorry I guessed twice. I'm just so desperate to get one in this thread and this is my first.

I thought of another film one, which is that every time we say, "Oh God," we say it like Cindy Williams says it in the movie THE CONVERSATION. This is very subtle, but it also often leads to reciting the eponymous "conversation" in full.

Looks like you've got some Lesser Goldfinches there, @alex! Perhaps not yet into their full breeding plumage, but cut 'em some slack.

I learned recently that the pigments in their feathers come from the good they eat! So they need to eat a lot of seeds to get that richer yellow tint.

Also whenever a person says, "What's your/their problem?" that triggers the recitation of an approximately three-minute sequence in the movie TOP GUN with various character voices. The sequence begins with Val Kilmer (a.k.a. Ice Man) saying, "You're everyone's problem. That's because ...
