    I’ve watched 30 - 60 minutes at a time of Nautilus Livestreams (live) where they see nothing but boring sandy seabed, so I totally get their enthusiasm when they find something worthwhile, like this.

      @@lament_rue Bullshit. Hollywood (and the other countries' studios) is full of incredibly talented people that produce an enormous amount of original content. The problem is audiences overwhelmingly go to watch franchise movies, not original ones. 95% of the big hits are franchise movies, so Hollywood obviously feels they're a safer bet and invests in those a lot more. If original movies start making 1.5 bln dollars at the box office, Hollywood would start churning them out weekly. But they don't, so Hollywood doesn't.

As a former Biology and Chemistry instructor, I find the Monterey area of the sea Truly Fascinating and when I saw this whale fall and 'the critters' feasting......told my daughter, "Its the circle of Life!" She was kinda surprised about bone-eating worms, saw this info very briefly in SoCal museum open house.
