AV Geeks 16mm Lunch 3-19-2026

Hello everybody. This is Skip Elshiemer. Welcome to the AV Geeks Lunchtime Streaming Show where we watch old 16 mm films. And I'm not at the archive today because we don't have internet at the archive. There was some suspicious digging going on on um our block and I think that might have cut our fiber cable. Um so, very frustrating, but I'm at the house and uh let's watch some films. Uh I've shown the first version of this. This is the second edition. Your Thrift Habits. Let's see what's changed. Enjoy. >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Boy. Okay, I give up. Oh, what? Is that a strict you did? I was just looking at this new camera. Camera? Yeah, only $40. Well, buy it. You got a steady allowance and a good part-time job. You're kidding. Who has $40? Look, Tony, no more loans. Why just last month I financed your new baseball mitt. $8. So far you haven't paid it back. Tony. Maybe there's something wrong with the way you're handling money. Here comes the lecture. Advice, no lecture. I've got money problems, too. Take a look at our family budget. But we all have to make ends meet and in order to make ends meet, we have to practice some thrift habits. Your grandfather once told me that uh thrift is the absence of waste. Um maybe you don't actually waste money, but uh sometimes you are careless with it. For example, remember those green canvas shoes you bought? Did you really need them or were you spending your money foolishly on a new fad? And those records you bought. You couldn't make up your mind between two favorites and bought both. And that transistor radio. Without a protective leather case, it cost $3.50 less. A real bargain. It would have been cheaper, really, to have spent the extra money for the leather case. Uh good thrift habits help prevent that kind of carelessness with money. Yeah, but how? Well, one good thrift habit is getting money matters down on paper. I'll show you what I mean. Uh we'll start with your goals, the things you want to buy. We'll call this Tony's money goals. I'll list your short-range goals. You know, the things you want to buy soon. And your long-range goals. The more expensive things you might have to save longer for. Now, what are your short-range money goals? Well, I'll need $5 for Mother's birthday and $3.50 for the new baseball book. And then there's a record. >> [clears throat and cough] >> Oh, yes, the baseball mitt. Take it. Baseball mitts $8. All right, uh what are your long-range goals? The camera. Sure. Camera $40. Okay, now there are your goals. Can you afford them? Well, maybe. I get $2 a week allowance. My paper route gives me $2.75 a week. So, your total or fixed income comes to $4.75 a week. But I need money for school supplies and magazines and movies and milk for lunch and Okay, you're talking about expenses. Now, there are two kinds of expenses. Fixed expenses, which are part of your daily life and they don't change very much. And flexible expenses. Uh money that's used for what we might call luxuries. Now, let's draw another diagram that'll help you keep track of your expenses. Now, on it you'll list your fixed and flexible expenses over the next 4 weeks. For the next 4 weeks, Tony was very careful keeping up his expense record. It was a good expense record and I told him so. Well, this is fine, Tony, just fine. Have any trouble keeping it up to date? Well, not after I got into the habit of doing it. Good. I see your fixed expenses were milk, $0.50, church contributions, $0.30, and a haircut, $1.75. A haircut's a fixed expense? Well, anything you need to spend money on regularly is a fixed expense. All right, let's look at the flexible expenses. School supplies, uh-huh, snacks, magazines, model kit, game tickets, and movies. And here are your total expenses for each week. Hey, you stayed within your income all the time. Yeah, and I saved more than $7. You know, when you write down every expense, it makes you more careful about how you spend your money. You've started a good thrift habit. But if you're going to reach your money goals, you need to save more of your income. To do that, you're going to have to learn to choose between certain flexible expenses, the luxuries. For example, will it be a magazine this week? Or a super deluxe Sunday? Will you buy a model to add to your collection? Or would you rather go to a movie? By keeping flexible expenses to a minimum, you save more for your goals. Understand? Sure. But now that I'm watching my expenses, I guess I can afford some of the things I want. Well, it'd be better to get into the habit of using a system to save for your goals. Another system? Using a system is the best way to handle money with any success. Now, how about another chart to help you keep track of your savings? >> Another chart? Well, give it a try anyway. This column lists your goals, short-range and long-range. This column shows how much they cost. This column will show what you should save each week to reach your goal. Mother's gift, for example. Mother's birthday is May 15th. How many weeks to May 15th? Uh just a second. 2 3 4 weeks. All right. Dividing the cost of the gift, $5 by the number of weeks, four our answer is a dollar and a quarter. Yeah, I see. I've got to save a dollar and a quarter a week. And the baseball book, I'd like that before the big series 8 weeks from now. All right. Well, that's uh 44 cents a week. And you'll need about 50 cents a week for the mitt. Hey Dad, don't forget the camera. I want it for when school begins next semester. >> Okay. That's 16 weeks. 16 weeks? Let's see. That would >> 40 be That's 250 a week. 250. All right, now. After deducting expenses each week, list the amount left over here, and then you can apply certain amounts to your goals. If you want to reach those goals, you'll have to save 469 a week. But with your expenses, I'm afraid you can't manage it. What if I watch my flexible expenses and drop one of my goals? That'll help balance things. That's the idea. You uh could even postpone getting your camera for a while and save for a little longer. I know. It's a hard decision to make. All these thrift habits are hard. Sure. But thrift habits help you save to get what you want. And you're learning to stand on your own financially. Thanks for the help, Dad. Good night. Anytime, Tony. Well, it seemed Tony had made [music] a good start. I knew though that sometimes he'd slip out of his thrift habits by buying things he really didn't want or need. We all do. But most of the time he would remember the thrift habits he'd learned. Keeping track of his income and expenses. Deciding on money goals, whether short-range, such as mother's birthday gift, or long-range, >> [music] >> such as an expensive camera. And saving for these goals week by week until he could pay for them. >> [music] >> These are some of the basic thrift habits. As you can see, they worked for Tony, [music] and they'll work for you, too. >> [music] [music] >> So, [snorts] did somebody in the comments say that the kid was going to get a gun, buy a handgun, and hold up uh stores? Um and that would solve his monetary problems? Is that I I missed that, but it seemed that was kind of fascinating to see that show up. Uh all right. Uh this one's by Centron, and they did a series called Community Helpers, and this is School Workers. Enjoy. >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> Good morning, class. Good morning, sir. You may now stand for the Pledge of In this school, we've changed only one thing. The ages. I pledge I pledge allegiance to the flag The older people are the students. and to the republic The younger people are teachers and other school workers. >> of the nation under God, indivisible Do you think this would work? with liberty and justice for all. Sure, it would. For a while, anyway. First thing this morning, we are going to review our may I's. What sort of things could children teach adults? You forgot to say may I. Well, we all forget sometimes. Let's try it again. Linda, stand up. Well, how about things that adults may have forgotten? First two steps are to get on the skateboard. Put your right foot and lift your left. Put that Children could also teach adults things they've never learned. Up so the side is facing the point. Try it. >> [laughter] >> Come on. Straighten out those backs. Needs more practice. Come on. Try to keep yourself balanced. Robert, I hear you're having a problem. Come into my office and we'll discuss it. I'm sure we can work it out with the help of your children. This might be fun for a while. But that young teacher would soon be faced with a serious problem. In this classroom, he'd have to teach doctors, mechanics, store clerks, plumbers, sailors, office workers, airline pilots, maybe even a United States Senator. I can't teach all these people. I haven't been through high school yet. Well, you don't have to. This is just pretend. In fact, we'd better let these adults go now. The truth is, they have jobs and other duties they must do. In the community, these grownups must print the newspapers, take care of the sick, build places to live, and keep the community supplied with services, food, and clothing. Do you think they had to go to school to learn to do these things? Well, they certainly had to learn to read, and to write, and to do mathematics. Studying science helped them learn to help others. The study of history and literature helped them to understand the world and be better citizens. My name is Charles Lacy. I live on Oxford Road. Learning about art and music helps them to express themselves, and to enjoy [music] the works of others. Someday, their children will grow up and want to do these things, too. The parents know before that can happen, the children will have to study and learn. Who is going to teach them? I would like to teach the children, but I'm busy all day carrying the mail. I'd like to, but if I don't stay here and work on these vehicles, they'll never get done. And people have to work in the restaurants, or we won't be able to eat out. What a busy community needs are people who will devote their whole day just to the children. So, some people decided to become teachers and school workers. Their job in the community would be helping the children learn. Here's how it works. Hi. School workers pay other people in the community for food, clothing, gasoline, car repair, and whatever else they need. And the other community workers pay the school workers for teaching the children and taking care of the school. Let's go back a moment. Remember our classroom full of doctors, office workers, sailors, clerks, and pilots? Can you tell which is which? No. Nobody can tell just by looking at them in a classroom. And just imagine if this were a real classroom. Now, it's even harder to tell which one will grow up to be a doctor, which a business person, and so forth. What does the teacher think about that? I look at the children, and what I see are all kinds of wonderful hopes for the future. I don't know what they'll be when they grow up. That's up to each one of them. My job is to help them learn so they can become whatever they want to be. To do that, the teacher first had to go through all levels of school, elementary school, junior high, high school, and college. In college, this person and a friend decided to make teaching their career. They and other college students were studying subjects that most children wouldn't understand. Then they realized something important. The only reason they could learn grown-up things was because as children, they had learned to think and study in their early years of school. So they decided it was important to teach children, and that was what they would do. After years of study, he got a job teaching children in another city. She applied to the school board in this community, and was hired to teach this class. Of course, not all people who work at a school are teachers. Before we go in and look, can you name some of the other jobs people have at your school? There is the teacher in charge of the whole school, the principal. When a classroom teacher gets sick, the principal has to find a substitute. There are books to order, records to keep, and special school events to plan. The principal has to keep track of everything that's going on in the school. And this is Tom Jerome at Nottingham. Could you come in this afternoon and help us out in the second grade? Good. We'll see you about 12:00 then. Oh, Megan, does it hurt badly? Okay, I'll call your mom. What's your number? 542 31 The school secretary types newsletters, reports, programs, talks to parents, and helps teachers and students in many ways. If a child gets hurt on the playground or has a temperature, the school nurse is trained to know just what to do. Often it's the nurse who discovers when a child needs glasses or has other problems. And there are the school custodians. Without them, the building would soon be a mess. School bus drivers are certainly important to children who live far from the school. On cold winter mornings, it's sure nice that they always remember to come by. And many schools have cafeteria workers. It's not the same as preparing meals for one small family. They have to prepare enough to serve hundreds, and to know what foods keep children healthy. All of these people are devoting their lives to helping children learn. Do you think children understand that? Denise, what do you want to be when you grow up? I want to be an explorer. Do you think explorers had to know how to read and do mathematics? Yes. Sure. How else are they going to be able to read maps and directions, or figure out how much to pay for travel tickets and meals and places to sleep? Dave, what do you want to be? Either a television newsman or draw cartoons. Does a television newsman have to be good at reading? Sure, he has to read the news. A cartoonist must have to read a great deal to know what to make cartoons about. And if he couldn't write, he couldn't tell us what the cartoon characters are saying. Daryl, Yes. What do you want to do when you grow up? I want to take care of all kinds of animals and be a veterinarian. What do you hope to be, Kevin? I want to be a teacher. Well, maybe someday you will be a teacher, or explorer, or nurse, or mechanic, [music] or doctor, or artist. The fact is, with the help of your school [music] workers, you can be anything you learn to be. >> [music] >> That was great. There was a good shot of a teacher with a film projector. Looked like a Bell & Howell. Which we don't like. We don't like those. Those are film chewers. Uh happy birthday Old Radios and Ernest Gruse. Um Yeah, you guys have been around for a while. And um so thanks for contributing. All right, let's uh look at Mexico in the 1970s, a city family. Enjoy. I am a computer technician. My name is Gildardo Matolongo. I work and live in Mexico City. In the last few years of growth, our standard of living has improved. Although many changes have taken place, our values and our traditions have remained. The family is still the most important part of our lives. I am a fortunate man. I have a good-paying job and a loving family. Manuel, my oldest, is 16. He's very good at soccer. Javier is 12 years old and is a very good student. He reads all the time. I feel he is too serious for a boy his age. My daughter, Carmen, is 15. She has a sharp mind and would like to be a physicist. >> [laughter] >> My wife, Eva, worked very hard to give us a happy home all those years we were poor. She helped me to save every penny to buy this apartment a few years ago. I am glad we have a bigger place now because of Carlos, our baby. >> [laughter] [laughter] >> We always have breakfast together. It gives us a good feeling to start the day. I enjoy the drive to work. It seems only the statues are the same, and that new buildings appear every day. >> [music] >> The new buildings are getting taller all the time, like the building my office is in. It is called the Latin American Tower, the tallest building in Latin America. I started in the stock room 13 years ago. My company sent me to school at night to learn about computers. It was difficult to work and study at the same time, but now I'm a supervisor in charge of 10 people. I know the value of schooling, and I want my children to have the best education. >> I'm in the sixth grade. We study Spanish, literature, science, math, geography, and history. We're in school 6 hours a day and we have a lot of homework besides. I like most the field trips, like the one we took to the Mexican Museum of History. History is my favorite subject. >> [music] >> The museum shows Mexico's history in paintings. How my people fought against the Spanish and about our long struggle to become an independent nation. It all seems a bit far away for me though. >> [music] >> I have grown up in modern times. I like to shop at the supermarket. Although the prices are higher than at the open markets, it is more convenient. I can walk here and it is open every day of the week. Fruits are delivered fresh daily. I use more prepared foods. Even chili comes in cans now. Mexico. With all the modern conveniences, women don't need to spend as much time at home. Within the past 15 years, women have moved out of the kitchen. You see many more women working. I am now hiring more women for skilled jobs. At first, I was doubtful about women in the office, but I find they are hard working and efficient. I come to this restaurant because it is close to my office. The food is good and the service is fast. This was a private home in Spanish It was built hundreds of years ago. The menu offers a great variety of foods, sandwiches, hot dogs, and many Mexican dishes. Today, I will have a cheese enchilada. It is one of their specialties. Not so long ago, lunchtime in Mexico lasted two or three hours. It was a time to be with friends or family, but now we work harder and have to squeeze lunch and conversation into less than an hour. >> [music] >> We still manage to have time to discuss politics, bullfights, or argue about the Sunday soccer game. >> [music] [music] [music] [music] >> There is nothing better than a taco after a soccer game. Almost every afternoon, my brother and I play in a club. I am a good player, but Manuel is much better. He has already made the Mexico City team. >> [music] >> Going home on the metro is fun. When the metro opened for the 1968 Olympics, we used to spend hours riding it. It costs only a few pennies. The metro is very fast. In 15-20 minutes, you can ride from one end of town to the other and Mexico City is very big. >> [music] >> This past summer, dad took the whole family to Acapulco for a vacation. We stayed in a big, fancy hotel. I even got a new bathing suit. Every day, all of us went to the beach. We had lots of fun. The tea soup is one of my husband's favorites. Tonight, we'll have pork chops with chili sauce and fresh avocados, too. I am baking a cake for the Sunday family picnic. Of course, it takes less time now that I have all the modern appliances. But I remember the years when we lived in the old section of town called the Guerrero. The people in the Guerrero worked mostly in factories and are poor, but kind and friendly. I used to shop at the open market, bargaining for everything. In those days, a penny meant a lot. We lived in tenements called Vecindad. Each family had a one-room apartment. There are no kitchens or bathrooms. I cooked on a small hot plate. This was before Carlos was born. My in-laws still live there. My husband, Gildardo, and my sons visit them every Saturday. >> [music] >> I moved to Mexico City 35 years ago so my children could have a better life. For the same reason, my father had migrated from the hacienda to the north. Three of my children live here. Pedro with his wife and their baby. Pedro works with me as a carpenter. Luis who is still at college and Hermina my daughter who is unmarried and helps with the housework. Providing a home for my children is a small way I can help them to get ahead in life. It is crowded here but all the hardship is forgotten when I hear them laugh and [laughter] talk. Now my son Gildardo is providing for me. He is buying a new house. Whenever we have a chance we go to see how the new construction is coming along. The house is out in the country outside of the city. I will enjoy the quiet life now that I will soon retire on my social security. I think my parents will be happy here. Everyone will have his own separate room. There will be a garden outside and a modern kitchen for my mother. Ever since I was a little boy I can remember coming to Chapultepec Park. It is a huge and beautiful oasis in the middle of the city. We spent many pleasant Sundays enjoying the fresh air. It was a change from the narrow courtyards of the vecindad. I used to be very good at soccer but now my sons beat me at my own game. Food is plentiful. Everyone brings his favorite dish. These Sundays the whole family is together. In-laws, grandparents, cousins and aunts. We like each other and we are good friends. We are still close even though we need our own separate lives now. We each have our own responsibilities. I have a good life. It took a lot of sacrifice from my parents and a lot of hard work from me and my wife. Life is easier for me than it was for my parents and grandparents and my children will have an even better future. Well, it was pretty great. Pretty great. Okay, this next film uh yeah, we're going to attempt fate a little bit. Why not? Um this was made by Walt Disney's education uh educational film company but this is a blatant ad for Epcot Center and this uh is the Epcot Center that I visited. I visited Epcot Center like a month or two after it opened and so a lot of the stuff shown here was stuff that I experienced. Um it is radically different now. I think. I hope. >> [laughter] >> But it's interesting to see [snorts] all the uh visions of the future and things that you could do that nowadays you're like so? >> [laughter] >> Um anyways, uh I don't think we're going to get in trouble for this. If anything maybe music. I don't know. We'll see. We'll give it a shot. Why not? This is Visit to Epcot Center. Enjoy. >> [music] >> Welcome [music] to this very special place, Epcot Center. Walt Disney's greatest dream >> [music] >> is now a reality. Located within the Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Florida, Epcot Center [music] has two major themed areas. Future World is a showplace for new ideas and new technologies. It provides entertainment [music] with a purpose and is dedicated to that most precious of human resources, imagination. While Future World has the look of tomorrow, World Showcase presents a colorful array of architectural styles and historic [music] landmarks. This is a true community of nations each proudly displaying the culture and accomplishments [music] of its people. Here everyone is a world traveler. You can go from Europe to Asia and back again in [music] the course of a single afternoon. Towering above the entrance to Future World [music] is the most recognizable, most dramatic symbol of Epcot Center, Spaceship Earth. Inside [music] the 18-story geosphere there awaits a journey through the history of communications from cave painting to the dawn of recorded time through the Renaissance, the invention of the printing press, and the telephone, to the vast electronic network that now surrounds our planet. >> [music] >> At the end of the ride is Earth Station, a futuristic city hall where information systems and touch-sensitive screens help [music] you plan your day or allow you to call for personal assistance. Communicore, with its central location, is the hub of Future World. In a sense, it's also the heart of Epcot Center for here [music] are the computers that control many of the attractions. As in Spaceship Earth, Communicore's theme is communications but with a special emphasis on systems that are friendly, not formidable. Come talk to Smart One. He'll listen and talk back. Touch a sensitive screen to assemble the American flag. >> [music] >> Or choose coaster. Then stand by to ride your own creation. In Future Choice Theater, express an opinion. Perhaps about a simple matter of preference or perhaps about an issue of vital importance. How does your [music] opinion compare with that of the rest of the audience? Or with other audiences on other days? Near Communicore is Universe of Energy. Massive, wedge-shaped, practical. The roof is covered with photovoltaic cells that [music] collect solar radiation and help power traveling theater cars, each one capable of carrying up to 97 passengers. Universe of Energy features dioramas and large-format motion pictures to recreate [music] the primeval Earth, show the formation of fossil fuels, and suggest possible new energy sources for the future. Horizons, a spectacular new attraction, is seen here in the form of show design models and renderings. [music] Horizons is a vision of life as it may be lived in the [music] 21st century. Depart from Future Port and review [music] Looking Back at tomorrow, a whimsical salute to visionaries of the past. [music] This is what they thought the future would bring. What do we think? [music] Well, Tomorrow's Windows presents intriguing ideas and concepts. [music] Then allows you to choose the way your ride will end. A high-speed adventure beneath the ocean or above the land or in the far reaches of outer space. Appropriately wheel-like [music] in shape, World of Motion takes a good-humored look at transportation [music] through the ages. There are moments that changed history. [music] And some that didn't quite. And of course, with increased mobility, [music] there are bound to be hazards. >> [laughter] >> In a more serious vein, a walk-through area called TransCenter offers information about such things as computer-aided car design and aerodynamics. Could this be the car of tomorrow? Next, Journey into Imagination. But before going inside, pause for a moment by the world's craziest fountain. Dreamfinder [music] and his small friend Figment are the hosts as you ride through a swirling maze of colors, shapes, sounds, >> [music] >> and even smells. The Image Works is a [music] creative playground featuring stepping stones, bubble music, pin screens, giant kaleidoscopes, and magic pallets where color is applied with an electronic stylus. In the Chroma Key Theater, amazing things [music] happen. And Magic Journeys, a 3D film, has the audience reaching for some of the largest, sharpest three-dimensional images ever created. There are many giant screen motion pictures to be seen at Epcot Center. Disney film [music] crews traveled the world for 2 years shooting 1 and 1/2 million feet of [music] film in 30 countries and establishing a whole new dimension in the quality of sound and images. [music] Leaving Journey into Imagination, it's a short stroll to The Land where Farmers Market is a good place to stop for a snack or meal. Then it's showtime, folks. Kitchen Cabaret, starring Bonnie Appetite and a cast of wacky characters, combines lively entertainment with a common sense message that a balanced diet is essential for good health. Immense in scale with 6 acres under one roof, The Land provides living proof of a new partnership between people and nature. A boat cruise attraction, Listen to The Land, introduces [music] various natural biomes such as desert terrain and the North American prairie the way it used to be. It looks at the development of farms and rural homesteads. Then moves through greenhouses and [music] growing areas where experiments are continually underway. The object is not to eliminate conventional farming methods, but to supplement them. Here, different [music] food crops are grown side by side, a technique called intercropping. And tropical [music] and desert plants share the same environment. Some plants are grown in sand with trickle irrigation providing just the right amount [music] of nourishment. Others are suspended in the air, their roots misted with a mixture of water and nutrients, or are moved on conveyor belts [music] through optimum light conditions. This revolving drum [music] reproduces the force of gravity, a potential way of growing crops in outer space. The Land's creative greenhouses offer alternatives for the future, providing a testing ground for [music] new techniques that may one day play an important role in high-density food production. Finally, the delicate balance between technology, progress, and the environment is explored in Symbiosis, a widescreen motion picture in The Harvest Theater. The Land clearly exemplifies Epcot Center's goal to entertain, >> [music] >> inform, and inspire. It may cause you to wonder, >> [music] >> how was Epcot Center conceived? Where did it all begin? Well, it could be said that the dream began [music] in California. And now, Walt Disney will step forward to read the dedication of Disneyland. >> [applause] >> To all who come to this happy place, welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past. And here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world. Thank you. 16 years later came the [music] opening of Walt Disney World in Florida. Walt himself did not live to enjoy this happy occasion, >> [music] >> and the new park was dedicated by his brother, Roy. The Walt Disney World Resort and Entertainment Complex [music] proved to be immensely popular and successful, changing the entire economy of Central Florida. But this was only one further step in [music] the realization of Walt Disney's dream. He spoke of it in 1966. Epcot will take its cue from the new ideas and new technologies that are now emerging from the creative centers of American industry. It will be a community of tomorrow that will never be completed, but will always be introducing and testing and demonstrating new materials [music] and new systems. Construction began in 1979. >> [music] [music] >> In October of 1982, Epcot Center was officially declared open. Now, let's cross the World Showcase Lagoon [music] to the American Adventure. With architecture and furnishings that reflect early American styles >> [music] >> and a hall displaying historic flags of the nation, this is the setting for a drama played out on the largest rear projection [music] screen ever built and a Broadway-size stage. The cast includes dozens of audio-animatronics figures with Ben Franklin [music] and Mark Twain serving as hosts. I shan't spend another night up here. At least you got shoes, mate. >> More than all of us, mate. Special moments in time, drawn from 350 years of American history, capture the spirit of the nation, and pay tribute to its people, whether they be [music] great leaders or ordinary men and women. It is easy to see, hard to foresee, but I foresee the American adventure to continue a long, long time. From the American adventure to the adventure of traveling the world, Italy, for example, to enjoy [music] the ambience of Venice, a classical fountain, the fun of street theater, lunch in a popular Roman restaurant. From Italy to Germany, >> [music] >> and the joyful exuberance of a Bavarian beer garden. Come sing, come dance, for here it's Oktoberfest all year round. >> [music] >> Next, China. >> [music] >> Walk through the gate of the golden sun to experience wonders of China, >> [music] >> a motion picture in CircleVision 360. Purchase a handmade souvenir. [music] View an exhibit of historic treasures. But beware of the dragon. >> [music] [music] >> Then, Mexico. A Mayan pyramid towers above World Showcase Promenade. A mariachi band sets the mood. >> [music] >> Inside, eat at the restaurant, or sail through Mexico's history on El Rio del [music] Tiempo, the river of time. On to Canada, Indian carvings, French colonial architecture, the skirl of the pipes, all are symbolic of the nation's heritage. And stand by for a whirlwind tour of a spectacular land as you are surrounded by the CircleVision 360 motion picture, O Canada. High Street, Upper and Lower Regency Streets, Tudor Lane, Britannia Square. This, of course, is the United [music] Kingdom, a pleasant place to stroll, browse, shop. This could well be a bridge [music] across the Seine, or even the English Channel, for on the other side lies France. At the end of this gracious boulevard is a theater showing the five-screen motion picture, Impressions de France. Nearby stores sell everything from books to pastries to perfumes. The journey continues to Japan, serene, [music] formal, with enduring traditions of design and craftsmanship. One of the pleasures here is to watch a master chef at work, or to see the fantasy dream maker sculpt candy into the elaborate shape of a bird, a heron, then give it away to someone in the crowd. In the evening, as dusk [music] falls over Japan's great torii, a gate signifying good luck, as the sun sets behind the Eiffel Tower, Epcot Center [music] takes on a magical, dreamlike beauty all its own. The lights come on to be reflected in the shimmering surface of Spaceship Earth. Epcot Center, Walt [music] Disney promised, will never be completed. New attractions and additional countries will continue to be added. On the dedication plaque are these words, "May Epcot Center entertain, inform, [music] and inspire. And above all, may it instill a new sense of belief and pride in man's ability to shape a world that offers hope to people everywhere." So, that's just Walt Disney's take on the World's Fair. I mean, really. >> [laughter] >> The Spaceship Earth is the Unisphere. Um like all of the pavilions, you have your technology pavilions, and then you have your um pavilions that are for each country. It's it's the it's the 1964 World's Fair. That's what it is. Of which Disney did do uh some things in. Uh but yeah. And I was super excited about it as a kid, but also it was boring compared to traditional Disney World. And I loved uh going to Disney World uh as a kid. I think I only went twice. But once when they had the tickets, and then once when it was kind of just whatever. But uh yeah. I uh Epcot, I liked some of the technology stuff. The uh make-your-own roller coaster was really awesome. The 3D film was really awesome, but that riding that ferry through the land, and it was not interesting at all, really. Uh tedious. Um and then going to all the countries, none of them had rides, I don't remember. Um so, yeah, there you go. Anyways, thanks for watching today. Um hopefully I'll have the internet tomorrow at the archive, and that's where I'll be. But we'll see. Um everybody have a great rest of your day.

So, next week I might pull out some of the previous uh candidates. Um not ones that we've uh done a tournament. We're not going to do a stylized bracket and all that stuff, cuz this is a lot of work.
