In 2013, Researchers Pulled Recognizable Faces of Bystanders Out of the Eye Reflections in a Portrait
An anonymous peer reviewer worked through a manuscript, looked at one of its figures, and recognized one of the authors. The face was a reflection in another person's eye. Across the study's bystanders, those extracted faces ran 27 to 36 pixels wide and covered roughly 322 pixels apiece, and that accidental recognition became the paper's second experiment.

Boring Characters Is Not a Depth or Backstory Issue
One of the most common notes that I find myself giving in my consultancy work with screenplays is that the characters need to be looked at more.

Iconic Film Intros: T800 in 'The Terminator'
When you think of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the ‘Terminator’ films, there are several quotes, sequences, and styles that come to mind. What’s interesting is that one moment that I rarely see brought up is his actual introduction in the original film.

The Scene Itself When we first see Arnold, like everyone else around him, we don’t immediately assume he’s a robot. Why would we? He looks like a strange, impossibly muscular, naked man strutting through

Horror Movies That Are Secretly Love Stories
Will-they-or-won’t-they fall in love and stay alive? That might be one question on your mind when you watch the following horror movies, where there is a beautiful or gory romance alongside the terror. Vampires sink their fangs into gay subtext, and opposites attract while catching a slasher icon. Expect spoilers for some of the entries, because the love story in the plots is not always apparent; some are even part of a twist ending. These are the horror movies that are secretly love stories.
