56 Beaver Street and 1 Wall Street Court in NYC
Sometimes two buildings might be used for the same setting. That has been the case in the John+Wick movies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/56_Beaver_Street
https://johnwick.fandom.com/wiki/Continental_Hotel
"The gothic feel of the hotel scenes beautifully reinforces John Wick’s noir atmosphere and really made me curious about it so here it is: the exterior of the Continental Hotel in John Wick is The Beaver Building at 1 Wall Street Court in Manhattan. However, the interior scenes were filmed at Delmonico’s, a restaurant located on 2 South William Street (56 Beaver Street) in New York." https://www.legendarytrips.com/john-wick-continental-hotel-new-york-filming-locations
The two buildings in the same city that are a little similar, yet quite different.

Spy Cams Reveal the Grim Reality of Slaughterhouse Gas Chambers
Eventually, slaughterhouse facilities will become more and more automated, so there will be fewer humans required to do the dirty work.
Then someday AI and robotics could be fully integrated into killing the animals. There is a big looming question. What if the robots see the earth as a farm and want to kill people as well as the farm animals?

The No Fun City
https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/bc-place-contact-festival-noise After all this time, many people just can't accept or allow Vancouver to become like a proper big city.
As a city and greater urban region grows and densifies and become more diverse, there should be more things to see and do. However, that's not always the case with Vancouver, BC. Even if the stunted city had a lot less rain, it still takes a watered down approach towards various things.
Since the late 1800s and early 1900s, Vancouver was a perpetual provincial backwater. Then during the post WW2 era, Vancouver was kept in a slow growth mode, especially when compared to Toronto, Montreal and Seattle. By the 1960s & 70s, those & several other cities really started to grow outward & upward, but not provincial backwater Vancouver.
By the 1980s and 90s, it was becoming quite apparent as to how firmly entrenched the, HOLD VANCOUVER BACK AGENDA, really was.
https://www.udiscovermusic.com/stories/top-10-seattle-grunge-bands Something really took off in Seattle, which can be just as rainy as Vancouver. However, Seattle never took the water things down approach like Vancouver did. https://dailyhive.com/seattle/grunge-visit
Even by the 2020s, Vancouver still isn't allowed to become a big business and infrastructure center like Calgary and Seattle are. Buildings are kept short, most roads & bridges are kept narrow & the trains are kept short when compared to what Montreal & Toronto, Boston, NYC & Chicago, SF & LA have.

"What she did see, however, was a place that often lives up to its unofficial title of No Fun City."
“My parents own two bars in Alberta,” Kroll says. “It was really interesting for me to see how much harder it was [to start a bar] here than in Alberta.”
"And a segment on the Downtown Eastside makes a great case for why something in Vancouver needs to give: there’s something seriously wrong when the city will allow open-air crack deals at Hastings and Main but won’t grant a venue like the Rickshaw a permanent liquor licence." https://www.straight.com/article-321074/vancouver/running-venues-challenge-no-fun-city by Mike Usinger on May 5th, 2010

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15-minute_city#Larson_and_the_20-minute_city It could provide a lot of convenience, but it might also be used to train people to restrict their movements.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/15-minute_city#Implications Could a total AI run city lead into a totalitarian nightmare? Perhaps if people had to keep asking for permission to go to certain places or even just to leave their home.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s Bahamas jail luxury: Cable television, AC and a Toilet

Avatar:_The_Way_of_Water doesn't have to be the biggest movie in history, so far. Millions of people still watch the original STAR WARS movies as well as the SW universe in general.. Therefore, Avatar 2 will continually grow in popularity through the years.

Aviation accidents and incidents
Given the huge amount of aircraft built through the decades, there have been a lot of aviation accidents_and_incidents.
The Synchronicity of 119, 191 and 911...
There was Japan_Air_Lines_Flight_123 with JA8119 as its registration #.
https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19850812-1 , https://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-b747-20783.htm
https://www.thisdayinaviation.com/tag/ja8119
How about a Flight 191 or 611?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_191 (May 25, 1979)
| IATA flight No. | AA191 |
|---|---|
| ICAO flight No. | AAL191 |
| Call sign | AMERICAN 191 |
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_191#Background
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Air_Lines_Flight_191 (August 2, 1985)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comair_Flight_5191 (August 27, 2006)
"It was identified for air-traffic control and flight-tracking purposes as Comair 191 (OH5191/COM5191)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comair_Flight_5191#Flight_details
At least in these cases, Flight_191 didn't go smoothly.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China_Airlines_Flight_611 (25 May 2002)
| IATA flight No. | CI611 |
|---|---|
| ICAO flight No. | CAL611 |
| Call sign | DYNASTY 611 |

Would people have avoided certain flights if they could perceive a pattern of coincidence and synchronicity? Is there a pattern for airplane-crashes? Perhaps that depends upon what one is looking for and what they can perceive.
It's a good thing that the Final_Destination movie series is just entertainment. However, several people think that when your number is up, it is.
Final_Destination was released in 2000 on March 17.

Many people find it disturbing to consider that they might be in some kind of a cosmic simulation or constructed reality. Yet, various religions, philosophies and belief systems have implied that very thing over the course of thousands of years.
For many it's tough enough to fathom the multiverse_concept or even just a parallel_universe.
The Many-worlds_interpretation of reality makes for a great thought experiment and like the concept of Time Travel, has been quite interwoven into entertainment.

The simulation theory thought experiment. https://builtin.com/hardware/simulation-theory It is beyond the ability of many people to fully fathom how every atom and especially subatomic-particles are part of a cosmic construct or simulation from a much higher realm of reality.
It's still tough enough for many people to grasp the implications that in primitive times, some were writing about the numbering and location of every hair.

Most people just don't seem to notice peculiar numbers and patterns throughout history.
