Hells Bells vs. For Whom the Bell Tolls...

 Hells_Bells had quite an impact for the rock world of 1980.

Back_in_Black became one of the most popular albums in music history.

AC/DC - Hells Bells (Official Video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFJFonWfBBM , https://www.youtube.com/user/acdc/videos

Of course METALLICA had to have their own version of a cool and intense BELL song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNybmS3xNAQ , https://www.youtube.com/c/metallica/videos

Such great cool songs with the bell theme and sound in the 1980s.

However, BOC had their own cool take on the bell sound in the 1970s with, (Don't_Fear)_The_Reaper.

Of course more curious people might want to use as much tech as possible to look for clues that this world might be part of some kind of an interactive cosmic recording and projection of of time and space. Natural observation and perception of ones surroundings is essential as well.

How Dune Shaped the STAR WARS Saga

https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/dune-shaped-star-wars

https://screenrant.com/star-wars-dune-story-concepts-ideas-lucas-copy

Of course the+desert is an integral part of both of these interplanetary epics.

https://nerdist.com/article/everything-star-wars-borrowed-from-dune

It's just that with Dune the desert is more a part of the overall story than it is with STAR+WARS. 

https://observer.com/2021/10/dune-hbo-max-star-wars-same-universe-theory

Of course various Sci-Fi stories will occasionally have some similarities.

It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s.

Beetlejuice (1988) "Principal photography began on March 11, 1987." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beetlejuice#Filming

Batman_(1989_film) "It was shot at Pinewood Studios in England from October 10, 1988 to February 14, 1989 with 80 days of main shooting and 86 days of second unit shooting." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batman_(1989_film)#Filming

A Bathroom-Inspired Restaurant Has People Eating From Toilet Bowls (WTF?)

 https://www.distractify.com/trending/2017/12/08/28l2aT/bathroom-toilet-restaurant The larger the meal, the more ENORMOUS the shit!

https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/indonesias-toilet-themed-cafe-serves-up-stomach-churning-food There is nothing like filling up the stomach, especially the LARGE intestine.

https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-07-25/this-restaurant-in-indonesia-serves-food-out-of-toilet-bowls

Who would have thought that some day there would be a market for symbolic excremental culinary delights? As long as the novelty of bathroom humor continues, Modern_Toilet_Restaurant will stay afloat. Otherwise, the toilet-food business will go down the drain.

Of course the idea of eating in a toilet themed restaurant is all part of the joke with the entertainment and excrement of it all. https://hedgersabroad.com/modern-toilets-crappy-food-review

https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/688479/toilet-themed-cafe-jamban-indonesia-eat-out-of-loo Of course no matter how good and tasty the food can be, it all turns to shit, in the end. So just mash it all up and dig in! https://mashable.com/article/indonesia-toilet-themed-restaurant Then it's blast the bowl time!

Although the toilet food concept has been around for several years, its still not in every city. Perhaps that's a good thing.

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/modern-toilet-restaurant

There could be a special menu for constipated customers. After a few bites, its stomach churning enema time. One always hopes that they can make it to the real toilet, just in time to blast the bowl!

The Splice of Monstrous Life

 Splice could be considered as a horror story, but its also a cautionary tale about wild genetic engineering.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splice_(film)#Plot

This movie is intended to be disturbing and unsettling. That's because it could be argued that composite life forms are unnatural, monstrous and even potentially dangerous.

William Shatner Uses Scary Scenes Meme To Make Fun Of Star Wars

 https://screenrant.com/william-shatner-scary-scenes-meme-star-wars-response

Although the first STAR+WARS movie was released over a decade after the first STAR+TREK TV episode, the rivalry has been building up for years.

https://thedigitallabyrinth.blogspot.com/search?q=Patrick+Stewart+and+Mark+Hamill

For several people, William_Shatner is like a star personality without being a big time star. However, he has been a cornerstone of the STAR TREK universe for several decades. WS has indeed established his own public persona as an actor and versatile entertainer for so many decades.

The Donnie Darko intersection

 "The film premiered on January 19, 2001 at the Sundance Film Festival, followed by a limited theatrical release on October 26. Due to the film's advertising featuring a crashing plane and the September 11 attacks having transpired a month and a half before, it was scarcely advertised, which affected its box office performance; it grossed just $517,375 in its initial run.^[3] Despite this, Donnie Darko received positive reviews and was listed No. 2 in Empire's "50 Greatest Independent Films of All Time",^[5] and No. 53 in Empire's "500 Greatest Movies of All Time".^[6] After reissues, it went on to gross $7.5 million worldwide. In March 2002, the film was released on home video, earning $500,000 in sales and gained a cult following." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko

Donnie_Darko is one of those movies that can cause a person to ponder and reflect upon for years or even decades after its initial release in 2001.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko#Filming Although the movie isn't perfect, its pretty darn close for the type of story that it is. No wonder that DD just kept getting to be more and more popular over the years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko:_The_Director's_Cut (2004)

V and Z...

 https://comicvine.gamespot.com/forums/battles-7/v-for-vendetta-vs-zorro-684538

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_(character)

V_for_Vendetta was first published in 1982 and the movie in 2005.

https://wikimedia.org/Zorro

The character of Zorro was first presented in 1919.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night#Origins_and_history_in_Great_Britain

V clearly seems to be a composite character from different times. Perhaps a little like a Mental_Traveller that occasionally appears through the ages. His strength and ability to jump high is a little reminiscent of the mischievous and nefarious, Spring-heeled_Jack. 

Spring-heeled_Jack#Early_reports started in 1837 and might have peaked during the 1860s.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring-heeled_Jack#Last_reports

Of course by the 1960s, The_Rolling_Stones released the song, Jumpin'_Jack_Flash.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cPXwc-5Kw8 , https://www.youtube.com/RollingStones/videos

JJF would have been the perfect theme song for this movie. A song that could possibly be associated with a mysterious and troubled person jumping around the city.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/f/f5/Jackflash1.jpg Observe the "masked man" at the right of the picture. This looks very close to being like a Guy_Fawkes_mask.

Street_Fighting_Man was selected instead of JJF.
