Needs an ED-209 statue nearby, aiming at it...

Why is this sanctuary needed? Wouldn't most zoos (that have elephants) be happy to take in another another elephant or two? We're only talking about 20-30 in total.

"We also chose to use real knives, which sounds absurd, but we wanted to be authentic."

"Every now and then I’d feel a shudder, a sense that I shouldn’t be alive."

I'm inclined to agree with him... They were playing a game of Russian roulette. An unbelievably reckless decision that everyone involved should have known *would* go wrong at some point, and everyone should have refused to take any part in. You can't rely on actors to safely handle deadly weapons while they simultaneously need to dedicate all their focus to their performances.

Looks like a 10 year old's crayon drawing.

I could understand portholes on the 1st floor, if not for the full sized windows elsewhere, but why on the upper floors, and why the mixture of some round and some square?

‘The 13th Warrior’ (1999)

Actually a pretty good film. Just started out slow (and gross), but turned into a solid guy movie. I'd say it fell victim to bad advertising... Commercials I saw just showed Antonio Banderas dressed in sheets & acting like a whiny coward. Really didn't capture the (action/battle) feel of the film. Critics were harsh, too, but audiences rated it 66% positive.

And their list goes back to 1995, but DOESN'T include Waterworld???

Don't nearly-all youtubers have that same handheld gimbal selfie stick? Stick a coffee mug on that...

"Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm."

And SciShow, 8+ million subscribers going for 13+ years at this point, is still making videos like a powerpoint rookie giving their very first public presentation...

Don’t read from your PowerPoint slides

You could forgive people for thinking that receiving the message in two ways, on screen and verbally, will help to reinforce it, but actually the exact opposite is true.

a village hires a ragtag group of mercenaries

As I recall, they were working for food... It was a rather charitable act that they risked their lives for the villagers.

11:22 All Calico cats are female

This is *almost* not incorrect... Several youtube comments offered corrections on this. I'm surprised they didn't mention orange cats in the same vein.

"About 81 percent of orange cats are male"
"1 in 1,000 calico cats are male."

The "migration path" lines generating pop-ups on mouse over makes the map entirely unusable, IMHO. You've got to hide those (which makes the map less useful) THEN you can mouse-over properly, and click around to see individual location info.

Kind of interesting to see individuals who just went from some small town a sort distance to the big city nearby, but the map doesn't show their names, net worth, dates, etc. And of course, plenty of people were born in a location where they didn't didn't spend much time at all before moving, so some/many of these billionaires may have no connection to their birthplace.

I don't know what prompted Screen Junkies to pick this movie from the past

It got the reboot treatment. The 2025 version comes out in just a couple days... It seems quite different from the original film and closer to the book: Volunteering to risk your life for money, vs. Wrongfully convicted prisoners just trying to stay alive.
