With the effort you put into this post, you could have just done that posting yourself.

Nanook of the North (1922) is considered to be the first documentary ever made, so how is there a giant spike on the documentary graph at 1910, and a smaller one shortly after?

" "Prom Pact," a B-grade teen movie on the Disney Channel."

I don't think this is comparable to LotR, this isn't a blockbuster movie it's a trashy disposable low budget teen movie.

These CG extras are probably cheaper per unit than the old "stick two rows of humans in front of a dozen rows of cardboard cutouts" trick they've been using for decades.

Clearly said by someone that hasn't worked in the industry.

Extra work is often miserable, has 0 job security, and is really only suitable for people with very little or no expenses.

Furthermore crowds are regularly filled with fake extras, even back to the 90s most times you worked as an extra in a crowd scene it was one or two rows of humans standing in front of a dozen rows of cardboard cutouts.

They are not arts and craftsy types, they are lemmings that will follow the one person in their group that has a good idea.

They literally do things like this because they are NOT creative, this is why they are famous for brigading, because most of them don't have a single thought in their head that they didn't get from being terminally online, so will gladly follow along with anything the few of them that can manage an original thought suggest.

Most of them aren't even right wing, they don't care about politics at all, they just know that this sort of behaviour makes people angry, and/or have been given brain worms from spending too much time in online spaces infected with right wing grifters.

The last season of Voyager was filming in the same studio complex as Enterprise during its first season, er? Robert Duncan McNeill (Tom Paris) looks like he just wandered on to the Enterprise set to say hi, maybe he knew the guy in the photo (sorry didn't really watch much Enterprise dunno the character/actor)? It looks like the Enterprise set, and the other performers in the background of the photo are wearing Enterprise uniforms, maybe someone recognizes the battle damage and can confirm its a season 1 episode?

A modern take on the (pre-NGE) Star Wars Galaxies style MMO, mainly the social aspects like player housing and player driven crafting system it had. We have still not seen such a deep crafting and resource system as SWG had in any game since.

While there are still private servers around in abundance, they are all too small to properly support the social aspects properly, and the dated engine really hold it back. A newer game engine and some modern QOL and UI changes is all you really need, and although the Star Wars IP would be great it would be fine with a lesser IP or fully unique setting.

There have been a few indie attempts at this but none have finished development, with the most recent one pivoting to AI and then going dark earlier this year, though to be fair indie MMO have a pretty bad track record for actually completing.
