    @7:43 The scene was indeed deleted from the original theatrical release and then returned to it for later special edition extended video and DVD releases. The chip didn't make a Terminator "evil", it was an inhibitor that prevented them from being too independent from Skynet's control and learning on their own.

    That would be my guess, too. The casino floor actually is floating on the water in the building, so it’s not on dry land.

  • @awsomehog1
    @awsomehog1 20 днів тому

    You nailed the loophole thing. Mississippi law still says gambling floors have to be on water, so all the gambling floors in tunic are on barges in lakes or canals. Other parts of the building are on dry land, but you’ll see there’s a bridge or transition when you cross onto floating parts

    Jacob, that was an excellent rendition of Old Man River, however it did kick off my Intrusive Thoughts, and I almost burst into song here in the comments section. Again. Also, I consider myself a huge fan of Jim Henson and the Muppets, and I never knew he was from Mississippi, which was properly embarrassing. I'm going to go be ashamed of myself now, and thank you for tolerating my existence.

    I believe at one time the loophole for Mississippi casinos was to dig a pond, then dig a channel to the Mississippi River. When the pond/lake filled up they would refill the channel with dirt and then build their casino as a "boat" on the pond.

    I was going to recommend the Spirit of Peoria paddleboat, because I was 99% sure I remembered the paddle wheel being functional when I rode the boat a few years ago, but when I looked it up, I discovered the boat was sold and is no longer in Peoria, Illinois. As best as I can tell, it's currently being renovated in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
    Anyway, after verifying that the Spirit of Peoria did, in fact, have a functioning paddle wheel, I can at least tell you my suspicion for why so few boats these days have one: As I recall, it was LOUD and WET. You can imagine the great sound and splashing involved with a giant paddle wheel rotating through the water. In the days where everybody wants to take videos of everything they experience, the noise factor is probably one of the biggest reasons that paddle wheels are now decorative rather than functional.
    That's my guess, anyway.
