With this shot of a butterfly then an ornithopter Children of Dune is telling us: "Yes, we know they were supposed to flap their wings. It was just too big a challenge for the original mini series, and now we're stuck with the design."
A CG shot from Children of Dune depicting a buttferfly sitting on a rock in the desert, flapping its wings. Same shot, but the butterfly flew away and a huge flying machine rises behind the rock. After a 180 turn we can see the ornithopter: a flying machine with adjustable wings with embedded rotors in front of huge rocks and the sky.

Wow, I just noticed in The Witcher 1 for the special attack of the group steel fighting style Geralt uses both swords at the same time: silver in left, steel in right. I wonder if the blade coatings of the silver sword have an effect.
Geralt at the end of a big swing with Harvall glowing yellow in his right hand and a rune sword in his left hand.

Fun fact: In The Witcher video game if you have a dagger in your small weapon slot, Geralt might use it for an execution move even when it's not held. He will stuck the equipped sword in the ground, pull out the dagger and jump on the enemy, stab a lot, then jump back and pick back up his sword.
Geralt with his steel sword stuck in the ground next to him and a dagger in his hand. Geralt mid leap towards an assassin, with dagger in hand, leaving the sword behind. Geralt is back at his sword, the dagger isn't in his hand anymore, he is pulling the sword out of the ground.

I'm sorry what? The American ambassador's son was the Washington Post's Moscow correspondent? Isn't there a conflict of interest? (Low was supposed to travel in secret.)
"In their free time, the three Americans visited the American embassy, where they were invited to lunch with Ambassador Jacob D. Beam and his guests later that week. Jack Tech, the science attache at the Embassy, later asked Low if he knew who the guests for Thursday's luncheon would be, and Low replied that Ambassador Kaiser and his son would be joining them. Tech responded by asking if he knew who Ambassador Kaiser's son was. When Low confessed that he did not, Tech dropped the bombshell-Robert Kaiser was the Washington Post's Moscow correspondent. Low went immediately back to Ambassador Beam and said that in light of the desire of the White House and the State Department to keep their visit quiet, he questioned the wisdom of dining with the press. The Ambassador assured Low that the luncheon would be a social affair and that there would be no need to discuss his mission. Furthermore, Beam said that he would take personal responsibility if there were any leaks. Although he was extremely skeptical about this whole idea, Low saw no way to avoid the invitation."

Amazing scene from The Partnership when a Soviet delegation visits NASA and learns about American consumerism at a shopping mall.
"After the working sessions that day, the Soviets were given an opportunity to visit a suburban shopping mall, where they could make purchases and fill the requests of friends and family. In addition to space and Texas souvenirs, the Soviets made a number of specific purchases. High on their lists were children's clothes. To everyone's pleasant surprise, Penney's was having a sale, in which large quantities of children's garments were priced at two dollars each. Of the 19-member delegation, 15 bought something at this bargain table. A number of requests intrigued the Americans who accompanied the Soviets on their shopping trip. One man said that he had a little house in the country and wanted to change some things. Therefore, he needed something that would drill into concrete; the solution to his problem was a five-dollar star drill." "One fellow purchased several pairs of tennis shoes with steel arch supports. And yet another shopper who needed a saw was quite pleased with his purchase of one with five interchangeable blades. Thus it went for several hours. Many things about the American consumer scene amazed, amused, or perplexed the Soviets. Free shopping bags were a surprise, as was being able to open packages to examine goods before paying for them. The use of credit cards by Americans disturbed the visitors, who reported that credit sales of major items-cars and appliances-were increasing in the U.S.S.R. but that credit purchasing often led to financial troubles. Finally, sales tax perplexed the Soviets and was never fully understood." "If the Soviets had a good time partaking of the Texas consumer economy, the Americans who waited on them and met them appeared to enjoy themselves equally. At one point during the evening, Academician[…]" "[…]Petrov was shopping by himself in Woolworth's when three grade school children, a girl and two boys, approached him and asked him if he were from the Soviet Union. In English, Petrov replied that he was. The girl then gave an impromptu speech of welcome, saying that she was happy that they had come to the U.S. and hoped that their work would be successful. Petrov was moved to tears by this spontaneous greeting."

I hate the Dr. Helmet redesign. I thought they just drew it wrong accidentally in one issue, but no, it's on the cover of the next issue, too. This is intentional.
A golden helmet that covers exactly the top hemisphere of the head, leaving the nose, mouth and ears visible.

I'm sorry, they "nosed" it?
On 16 March 1966, Neil A. Armstrong and David R. Scott conducted the first manned docking when they nosed Gemini VIII into the docking adapter of an Agena target vehicle.

OMG, the Hulk is running down Park Ave from the Pan Am building. That's where the famous Avengers scene is. (Stark Tower is where the Pan Am building was.)
The Pan Am building shot from Park Ave. Lou Ferrigno as the Hulk running along Park Ave, looking behind him to avoid traffic. Stark Tower shot from Park Ave with Iron Man flying. Mark Ruffalo as Dr. Banner walking along Park Ave, looking behind saying "That's my secret, Captain."

Hilarious role reversal gag.
A dude telling Dr. Banner "you really don't wanna make me angry." A reverse shot of Dr. Banner with a visual gag: he's mostly covered by the dude, but he's peeking out, like he's looking past him at the camera.

A movie made the Apollo-Soyuz mission happen.
Handler urged closer cooperation by describing the basic scenario of the film Marooned. The fact that "an American film should portray a Soviet cosmonaut as the hero who saves an American's life came to them as a visible and distinct shock."

It's like a movie. The outer shell has "Salyut 2" on it, but then it falls away revealing the "Almaz" name of the military station.
"In any case, Chelomey, apparently humiliated, was explicitly ordered to have the name Salyut 2 painted on the station. The shrewd general designer told his engineers to paint the offending name on the outside fairing of the station; once the fairing jettisoned in the upper reaches of the atmosphere, the station revealed Almaz clearly written on it."
