Recreation(x) is a short comedy film written, directed by, and starring Charlie Chaplin. It was released on 13 August 1914.

The Tramp is despondent and prepares to drown himself in a park's lake. He quickly changes his mind when an attractive girl appears, and proceeds to flirt with her. However, her sailor boyfriend discovers this and starts a fight with the Tramp. Shortly thereafter two policemen become involved in the fight. The film ends with everyone falling into the lake.

Chaplin was the only actor in Recreation to receive a screen credit.

The film was only half a reel in length. A travel short, The Yosemite, made up the other half of the reel.

Alfred Hitchcock's 'The 39 Steps' on Max and Criterion Channel

The 39 Steps (1935), Alfred Hitchcock’s first great romantic thriller, smoothly plays the “wrong man” gambit with the light, black-humored grace that would reach its apex in North by Northwest. Robert Donat stars as Richard Hanay, an affable Canadian tourist in London who becomes embroiled in a deadly conspiracy when a mysterious spy winds up murdered in his rented flat and both the police and a…

Well, according to Bennett and colleagues, the first step is to ensure that Nicholas and I each have two additional photons, let's call them Photons B and C, are entangled.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

In fact, as Bennett and collaborators show in detail, by at most a simple manipulation of Photon C's spin (based on my phone call informing him of how Photon A is spinning relative to Photon B) Nicholas will ensure that Photon C, as far as its spin goes, exactly replicates the quantum state of Photon A prior to my measurement. Moreover, although spin is only one characteristic of a photon, other features of Photon A's quantum state (such as the probability that it has one energy or another) can be replicated similarly. Thus, by using this procedure, we could teleport Photon A from New York to London.³

3. For the reader who has some familiarity with the formalism of quantum mechanics, here are the essential steps in quantum teleportation. Imagine that the initial state of a photon I have in New York is given by |Ψ⟩1 = α|0⟩1 + β|1⟩1 where |0⟩ and |1⟩ are the two photon polarization states, and we allow for definite, normalized, but arbitrary values of the coefficients. My goal is to give Nicholas enough information so that he can produce photon in London in exactly the same quantum state. To do so, Nicholas and I first acquire a pair of entangled photons in the state, say |Ψ⟩23 = (1/√2) |0203⟩ - (1/√2)|1213⟩. The initial state of the three-photon system is thus |Ψ⟩123 = (α/√2) {|010203⟩ - |011213⟩} + (β/√2) {|110203⟩ - |111213⟩}. When I perform a Bell-state measurement on Photons 1 and 2, I project this part of the system onto one of four states: |Φ⟩± = (1/√2) {|0102⟩ ± |1112⟩} and |Ω⟩± = (1/√2) {|0112⟩ ± |1102⟩}. Now, if we re-express the initial state using this basis of eisengates for Particles 1 and 2, we find: |Ψ⟩123 = ½{|Φ⟩+(α|03⟩ - β|13⟩) + |Φ⟩_(α|03⟩ + β|13⟩) + |Ω⟩+ (-α|13⟩ + β|03⟩) + Ω⟩_ (-α|13⟩ - β|03⟩}. Thus, after performing my measurement, I will "collapse" the system onto over of these four summands. Once I communicate to Nicholas (via ordinary means), which summand I find, he knows how to manipulate Photon 3 to reproduce the original state of Photon 1. For instance, if I find that my measurement yields state |Φ⟩-, then Nicholas does not need to do anything to Photon 3, since, as above, it is already in the original state of Photon 1. If I find any other result, Nicholas will have to perform a suitable rotation (dictated, as you can see, by which result I find), to put Photon 3 into the desired state.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961)

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea has a certain nostalgic quality. You can tell this science fiction story comes from simpler times, that despite its serious plot and high stakes, the objective was to have fun. With solid special effects and a surprisingly sophisticated plot, it’s hard not to fall under its undersea charms.

A meteor shower is causing the global temperature to rise and leading to worldwide cataclysms. Though the UN’s chief scientist believes the problem will resolve itself, Scientific and engineering genius Admiral Harriman Nelson (Walter Pidgeon) isn't convinced. With his state-of-the-art nuclear submarine, he sets a course for the Mariana Islands: the one spot on Earth from which the Seaview's missiles can destroy the asteroids encircling the planet and save the world.

If you take a magnifying glass to the film, the science leans towards the dodgy side and there are several questionable actions from multiple people. The Seaview is the roomiest submarine I’ve ever seen. The interior is so relaxed people are even allowed to smoke - though to the film’s credit, this becomes a plot point later on. Then there’s the question of the global warming in effect. Professor Emilio Zucco (Henry Daniell) says the fire encircling our planet will burn itself out when it reaches 173 degrees. By my count, we’d all be cooked dead by then. Even the movie seems to acknowledge this, as there are many radio reports of polar ice caps melting, bodies of water drying up, entire regions of Europe becoming uninhabitable and Africa’s flora burning up. You might wonder if there will even be a planet to save by the time the Seaview arrives at its destination… but those are details far eclipsed by what the film does right.

While Harriman Nelson disregards the UN’s votes and even the President’s orders, the point is that he’s right. Our world is doomed (not through any fault of our own, mind you) unless the brave men (and women) on the high-tech submarine can make the harrowing journey to the Mariana Islands. Along the way, there are many dangers - outside and inside the submarine. Giant octopuses, land mines and government interference are just the beginning of their troubles. Not everyone aboard the Seaview believes Nelson is correct. Some think his plan will actually make things worse. Others believe this is the end of the world, that they should be allowed to go see their families one last time before it’s too late. Tensions escalate when Harriman clashes with his second-in-command, Captain Lee Crane (Robert Sterling). It all works because the characters are well-written. Even when someone becomes an antagonist or you don’t agree with their actions, you understand why they’re doing them. It might be stress, faith in someone other than their overconfident Admiral, or some saboteur’s plan leading them astray. These all keep the plot racing and the audience wondering what’s next.

Though this film is ultimately about its plot, not the characters, they’re given enough dimension for you to care about them. There are many, but the ensemble creates a nice balance of different views, and everyone serves a purpose at one point or another. Look forward to Joan Fontaine as psychologist Dr. Susan Hiller, Nelson’s on-board friend and fellow scientist, Commodore Lucius Emery (Peter Lorre), the Admiral’s secretary, Lieutenant Cathy Connors (Barbara Eden), one of the cataclysm’s first victims rescued by the Seaview, Miguel Alvarez (Michael Ansara), and more.

As for the special effects, they obviously don’t compare to what we can do with computers today, but the illusions are all fine. Some might even make you wonder how they managed them way back in the 60s. Considering they perfectly convey the information director Irwin Allen wanted them to. I’d say they hold up well.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea maintains steady tension throughout. Some of it might’ve been scientifically disproven since its release but it doesn’t matter too much because the ideas are there. It’s exactly the kind of movie you’d watch as a kid and would never get tired of, then revisit years later and be relieved to see holds up. Even if you’re watching it for the first time, it has a quaint charm that makes you feel nostalgic. (On Blu-ray, September 8, 2021)

scavengers reign (joe bennett, charles huettner, 2023)

[omercifulheaves]

What a show. One part Moebius and Geoff Darrow comics. One part Annihilation and Alien. And a big ol' dash of Studio Ghibli -- especially Nausicaa and Castle In the Sky-- and Akira thrown in for good measure. Hope to see more from these creators, whether it's a second season or new project. On Netflix.
