Just to keep this going and possibly spur conversation:
The thing I always hate about spotting these hoaxes so easily is that I really DO want to believe and it makes it so hard to do when 99 times out of 100 it’s just some rube in their bedroom trying to get a gig with Pixar or IDM.

YES THIS. Damnit! I love unexplained creepy shit and I have spent many hours on this or that rabbithole creeping myself out and wanting to believe.
This was one from last year: Strange howls heard coming from Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Eerily similar to a 1994 recording (linked in the page). Somewhere there is a page of Ohio Sasquatch sightings and I was all curious and creeped out how many were very near to my rural hometown.

Avisynth. Has about a thousand plugins to try and improve video quality. Neural net based rescaling filters, 3D denoisers, warp-point based sharpeners that do seam-carving, temporal deblockers. But 5 minutes in iMovie with stock effects could turn this from crystal clear 4k 60fps video into the garbage juice we see here no problemo.

I’ve never seen a fake movie. Apart from that one time when I was staring at a photo for 90 minutes*.
*Still had a better plot than a Michael Bay movie.

Real as in actual feature-length narrative work, rather than just made for yuks on YouTube. It’s from an insane Hulk ripoff called The Amazing Bulk.
We’re a generation of Ken Burns burnouts.

Look if you don’t want me peering in your windows, all you had to do was ask nicely… now I’m offended… if anyone wants me, I’ll be in my lair!

I think Ray would have got a better handle on the creatures inertia, or lack there of. 
Normally its some Rupert Murdoch minion.
Spoiler alert: It’s a schooner!

It looks like the interdimensional creature from Stranger Things, which means 11 can’t be far behind!
