“Atuk” was a movie that only exists in screenplay form, that was supposed to come out during the 90s.
The film is based of a novel of the same name, and would have been a comedy about a proud Inuit hunter struggling to adapt from moving from the Canadian wilderness into the big city lifestyle, while also becoming incredibly rich.
This film is shrouded in infamy, as their is an urban legend that the script for the movie is cursed, due to the fact that every single actor who was cast for the lead role ended up DYING shortly after, which is why many believe that no one has attempted to continue making the film in the modern era.
Notable actors related to this movie that have died include Chris Farley, John Candy, John Belushi, and Phil Hartman

“Escopetarra” is a series of peace symbols/art pieces made by Colombian musician and peace activist Cesar Lopez, which are guns that have been made into guitars. The name comes from combining the Spanish words for “Shotgun” (Escopeta) and “Guitar” (Guitarra).
The idea came in 2003 where he was at a gathering for the El Nogal Club bombing and noticed one of the police officers holding their rifle like a guitar. He would later acquire 12 decommissioned AK-47 assault rifles that he would turn into guitars and would give them away to several people and organisations, such as the United Nations, the government of Bogota, as well as fellow peace activist musicians Shakira, Paul McCartney, and Juanes (The latter of whom would then go on to sell his for $17k at a fundraiser in order to raise money for victims of landmines)

Football in England has been associated with violence as early as the 1300’s, and multiple kings tried to ban it (Edward II in 1314, Edward III in 1349, Edward IV in 1477, Richard II in 1389, henry IV in 1401, and Henry VIII in 1540)
Scottish kings also attempted to ban football as well (James I in 1424, James II in 1458, James III in 1471, and James IV in 1491)
In addition to the violence and disorder associated with football matches, kings of both nations saw it as a distraction from practicing the more useful skill of archery.

“Rampart” is a 2012 crime drama starring Woody Harrelson, that focuses on the controversies surrounding the police brutality from the LAPD’s Rampart division during the 90s
The film is most known for the controversial advertising related to it. The first controversy came from a promotional poster, which showed Woody’s character (a cop) violently beating someone up with a baton, with the words “I Work For You”, which some took as anti-law enforcement/authority
However the most well know part that people remember about this film, is the absolutely disastrous Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) Woody Harrelson took to promote the movie.
The AMA started with with a user asking Woody about an alleged sexual encounter he had with a girl at a prom afterparty, which he quickly refused to answer and then tried to talk about Rampart in the same reply. The thread soon went downhill as every single question Woody was answered had him giving a generic non-answer, before then trying to shill towards Rampart and almost none of the questions asked actually got answered
The AMA was so bad that many people thought that this wasn;t actually Woody Harrelson and was just a PR guy answering the questions, and it is commonly viewed as one of the worst AMAs in the sites history.

Japanese is a rather lonely language just like Basque.
No one has confirmed if they are part of a bigger language family yet.
Some scholars say it may be related to Korean, but one old theory was that Mongolian, Turkic and Japanese were all members of the supposed Altaic family. Most scholars don’t believe the latter theory these days.
Will we ever find out Japanese long lost brother if they have one, we will have to see.

In the 2014 movie Kingsman: The Secret Service, the villainous henchwoman is called Gazelle, an assassin with twin prosthetic legs with blades in them
In the movie she is portrayed by actress Sofia Boutella. However during the movies development, she was originally a male character and was going to be played by Paralympian sprinter Oscar Pistorius. The idea was scrapped, as the studio thought that he “didn’t make a convincing enough killer”
Talk about things that aged poorly…

Under the Provisional Government of Oregon, the Pacific Northwest was a technically an independent country for six years (1843-49), with a legislature, an executive, courts, laws, tax collection, a military (on paper), and plans to start minting its own coins. There were some who wanted it to formally declare independence (though this was a minority view, and most believed annexation by a colonial power was inevitable).
Before then, there was no region-wide government and the region was dominated by a corporation (the HBC).

The Mormon pioneers tried to make their own sovereign land when they first came to what is now Salt Lake City. Then the Mexican-American war ended and the US government claimed the land as their territory. It was first the proposed State of Deseret, then the Utah Territory and eventually became the State of Utah.
Bonus fact: congress rejected the name Deseret, and that’s why it’s called Utah.
