The Mission: Impossible masks are almost a reality

As Tom Cruise’s action franchise has evolved, so has the real-life inspiration

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0649230/?ref_=ttmi_tt 

"Certain team members, as masters of disguise, impersonate the target or someone connected to the target using realistic latex face masks and make-up. A few early season episodes showed the painstaking creation and application of these masks, usually by Rollin Hand. This was later omitted as the audience presumably became familiar with the team's methods. In the 1980s revival, the mask-making process involved a digital camera and computer, and was mostly automatic. In most cases, the guest star would play the role of both the original and the agent-imposter (ostensibly Rollin, Paris, or Casey). Some impersonations are done with the explicit cooperation of the person being impersonated. In some cases, the same actor playing the IMF agent also portrayed the person to be impersonated; this most frequently occurred during Martin Landau's tenure on the series, notably in the pilot, or supplied the voice of the person being impersonated by dubbing. Most episodes included a dramatic "reveal" (also referred to as the "peel-off") near the end of the episode in which the team member would remove the mask." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission:_Impossible_(1966_TV_series)#Plan

Paul McCartney, Beck - Find My Way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Q4hAQ4fEw The cool ending of this video shows Beck removing a Paul McCartney mask, just like in the Mission Impossible movies & TV series.

https://www.digitaltrends.com/news/watch-this-young-paul-mccartney-deepfake-turn-into-beck

Find your way back to the autumn of 1966. Not only was it the start of the Mission:_Impossible_TV_series (and its masks), but the release of the movie, Seconds. Plus, that's when the Paul_is_dead urban legend gradually began. Someone was able to brilliantly draw upon MI and Seconds to create quite an elaborate urban legend. 

"After waking, Arthur is informed by the company's Mr. Ruby that their service costs $30,000. It will fake his death in a hotel fire using an anonymous cadaver, then reshape his appearance and provide a fresh start. When Arthur is unsure, an older man, head of the company, shows Arthur a film of the prior staged assault, ostensibly to make his decision easier.

After considering the emptiness in his life, Arthur reluctantly accepts. He undergoes extensive procedures by Dr. Innes that transform not only his facial features, but his vocal cords, teeth, and even fingerprints.

After a lengthy healing period, the younger looking Arthur is conferred the identity Tony Wilson. Tony is relocated by the Company into a beachside community in California. He attempts to assimilate into his new life, in which he is able to live as an artist —a career he had always aspired to..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seconds_(1966_film)#Plot

The Colonial Mentality

 https://dailyhive.com/canada/tiktoker-racist-rant-on-video

Unfortunately, The White Colonial Mentality is still firmly perpetuated by some.

Canada is the 2nd largest country in area. Yet, Canada has less than half of 1% percent of the worlds population. Of course most of the worlds population is non-white. Is that why so many people aren't allowed to live in Canada?

Most people aren't interested in going back the the horse & wagon era of the pre 1900s. However, the EV revolution should have been gradually started in the 1970s so that by the 2020s, there would have been many more efficient motor vehicle choices.

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://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Wall_Street_Court

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

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.     

http://www.nofuncity.org , http://www.nofuncity.org/about.php 

"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
