That's why people spouting "open-source is always less quality" and "without paying artists there would be no culture" are so dead wrong. People who feel the urge to create and do, will do so. And to me, things that were created for one's own enjoyment are pretty much always better than things created to be monetised.
Right. Can you imagine a film with the quality of Toy Story being produced just for fun? Not a chance. ThAt film took thousands of man-years to make. The whole open source everything movement is just communist nonsense that typically comes from people who have never had to make a payroll. Rails for example was the open source result of a profit-creating piece of software: Basecamp. The profits enabled the open source…
I'm not sure how it has escaped the world's attention that you didn't approve these thousands of man-years of work, but it's clearly an oversight that must be corrected immediately. Let's have you tell everyone it doesn't make sense and get this communist nonsense shut down immediately—it's not philosophically viable!
What happened in 1977?
Star Wars?
Also The Deep, which isn't on that list but did pretty well so likely had a lot of posters. All of which would be mostly ocean. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075925/

Can anyone explain how this works?
I don't know for sure, but judging from the sequence shots, looks like it scans a pixel column depending corresponding to the part of the movie. If it's scanning a frame halfway of the movie, it will scan the pixel column in the middle of the frame.
Or taking a photo of the screen with a very slow CMOS (camera phone) sensor.
In the associated blog post he says: Methodology: I downloaded ~ 35k thumbnailed-size images (yay wget -- “The Social Network” inspired me to not use curl) Could some who's seen the film enlighten me on why wget is better than curl? Thanks.
HTTPie[1] is better than both. ;) 1. https://github.com/jkbr/httpie (I am in no way affiliated with this project. I'm just a happy user.)
