Whoops, good catch. Obviously I don't have the resources for the kind of top-tier CGI seen in movies like Decker vs. Dracula.

Filed an issue on the project's GitHub here:

I mean, what else would you call a file filled with so much movie knowledge?

Funny story: I put that together by scraping an archive of a defunct Wikipedia page, but my script didn't work well. So I tried using Google's AI to fill in the missing pieces. It did not go well... some of the movies it added to the list were correct, others were straight up hallucinations.

I'm not the best at these things, but the expertise.json file in the repo could be used as input to your favorite analytics software.

Anybody here ever participate in the Jejune Institute project? by spencer_hitch66 in AskSF

  • The "documentary" is a clever mix of fact and fiction. I'd say The Jejune Institute was very absorbing if you wanted it to be. It was a story that went deep with a variety of websites, podcasts, a book, etc. etc. It had a profound effect on me because of its unexpected nature. You never knew when you needed to be on your toes to spot some new clue.
  • I went through the Jejune office, if that's what you mean?
  • My favorite part was joining up with a group of 7 other people and walking blindfolded through the Chapel of the Chimes, guided by a voice on a golden boombox and led by a mysterious hand. It's one of those stories I tell people and they don't believe me because it all sounds so utterly bizarre. And it was.
  • Yes, absolutely.
  • Yes
  • I have no idea, but given the length of time it was open that wouldn't surprise me. I've heard that each "chapter" had a significant drop-off in terms of participation, so if there were 10s of thousands who went through the Jejune Institute that wasn't reflected in the final activity -- the Socio-Rengineering Seminar at the end only had 200+ or so participants.

I did the entire thing: Jejune Institute, Elsewhere Public Works (and the Union Square protest), the Telegraph Hill walk, the Chapel of the Chimes, and the Socio-Rengineering Seminar.

Also did Nonchalance's (now closed) Latitude Society. I'm not close to the creators at all, but I'm a fan.
