Glasses do have reflections and are noticeable. When you look through the glass it refracts the light so you can see through the wearer's face (at a certain angle). All of these things are weird about glasses--which us glasses wearers are fully aware of, living with them every day. We can't help but notice what glasses do. So when I see someone wearing glasses with no glass in them, that calls my attention to it and I start looking at that instead of what I should be looking at in the scene. Other people may have a different experience--but I was talking about myself.

I have never seen a Day for Night scene that looked like night.

[QUOTE=Kirby101;5706168]I believe back to the Keystone Cops. Vendor carts were prevalent on city streets then.[/QUOTE]
You mean the film Love, Loot, and Crash?

Not a specific film (and your knowledge of the K Cops is probably greater than mine) but the vendor cart is a staple of those early silent comedies. Especially in the Mack Sennett movies.
More than that, in silent films of the era showing real city streets, push carts are prevalent.

I guess we have no choice but to conclude that, around the time those films were shot, such carts were actually ubiquitous.

It appears so from the films, photos and paintings.
Here is a double page spread from an autobiographical story Jack Kirby did. It portrays his life as a kid in the Lower East Side of NY in the early 30s.
Notice the pushcarts.

We also see Kirby using the escape thanks to the Push cart trope in Fantastic Four 15. 3rd Panel.

Didnt even think of that. But I can see how that works. Happy accident.

People commit suicide for no real reason or just to end a plot line or story. (man in high castle ending)
1000-year-old equipment starts right up after not being used for 1000 years. My lawnmower doesn't work in the spring after being out of commission for the winter and fall! (star gate or star trek tv shows come to mind right away
Instead of people on the run. Hiding out in the bad neighborhoods they come from. Why cant they come from rich areas and hid out in those while on the run. (GI JOE 2 plot line comes to mind right away)

It's a great little story by Kirby in a book called Streetwise. You may be able to find it scanned online. It's all just Kirby pencils.
