Hey! Who shot that rocket into my eye?
#2: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Apr 8, 2020
Wow, good catch kristen!
#3: Joanne Firla (JoFirla) on Apr 8, 2020
Wow. I don't know why, but I actually just saw that movie. Great image.

I only know of this iconic movie because it was so important in Hugo, a more recently made steampunk movie. But that only testifies how iconic it is.

It also heavily inspired this Smashing Pumpkins video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOG3eus4ZSo

A Trip to the Moon (1902)

Here is the full 12 minute video this comes from: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/le-voyage-dans-la-lune-1902

Well worth the watch!

I agree. The special effects from almost 120 years ago are simple but quite good.
#9: Eva (Schmeedle) on Apr 9, 2020 [SPOILER]
Very recognisable for a 20x20! Well done!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.

After LL,
EL 6 c20 = r13 w
No matter where the 6 in c20 goes, the 5 in c19 will have its range limited to [r1-7]. Therefore c19r3-5 must be black.
LL
The 2 in r1 can go in three positions. No matter where it goes r2c9 will be black.
LL
Two-way logic 2 c3 = c4r13 black
LL
If the 2 in c19 were to go anywhere but r9-10, there would be nowhere for the 2 in c18 to go.
LL to finish

I realized what it was a little before I finished and immediately Tonight, Tonight started playing in my head! Same thing happened when I watched Hugo :)
