   The old rose house in Titanic was in Ojai, CA in the script.  The filming location was never given.  It was probably a movie set in Baja.  It would have been expensive to stage an existing house with all that stuff.  It wouldn't be a retirement destination. The vanwives baja saga was pretty bleak.  Lots of difficulty importing water, having stuff disappear, organizing construction labor, getting approved, navigating bad roads, finding reliable storage.  The quality of what they show getting built down there is pretty low.  They have to repeatedly change storage units as places constantly go out of business, end up with shady landlords, or the government just takes stuff.  It doesn't sound like they're going to finish it.    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Switching to a marginally better government,    While there were many videos of th...

 The ultimate language model in lion minds is one that converts an algebraic language to highly optimized assembly language.  In fact, given the trends, it might be C to assembly.  Lions believe AI could finally open the door to more widespread use of vector instructions or CISC instructions we haven't heard of.    All new languages compile down to C & rely on gcc to generate assembly.  It kind of makes C the natural, universal entry point for that model.  Lions always dreamed of being able to convert an algebraic language to vector instructions automatically, but for some reason, the industry is only investing in converting from spoken language to high level programming languages. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  A lot of gootube leads about agents came out in the last week, after a relatively silent period.  The agent concept came out only a year ago & w...

   Continuing low budget 80's movies lions never saw, it was disappointing that the Beastmaster's sidekick was a tiger instead of a lion.  Obviously, there were limits to the animal wrangling budget.     Future James Bond hottie was world class, if a bit malnourished. She was a lot more dominant than in View to a kill.   There were many nice visuals IMDB tells us were shot in Simi Valley, Oregon, Nevada.     Pyramid lake.       Typical for a lot of movies, the antagonists are all bald guys.    A bit underwhelming amount of beast mastering, for a title as big as Beastmaster.  The beast army amounted to a tiger, 2 ferrets, & an eagle.  Characters who didn't deserve to die tended to die off uneventfully while the villain somehow took forever to die.  Really high body count by modern standards, but that was life in medieval times.  Every time the beast master showed up, someone innocent q...
