Maze of the Week #221 - Rialto Bridge

It is Italy maze month on the site and our 4th maze comes from one of the most interesting cities in the world. Maze of the Week #221 takes us to Venice and the iconic Rialto Bridge, although it sounds cooler as the Ponte di Rialto. This pedestrian bridge was finished in 1591. Read about the Rialto Bridge on Wikipedia.

The bridge has a live stream:

The maze: Black and white. I used Italian on this one. This is one of my favorite recent mazes.

Mr. K (2024) Movie Review

Mr. K movie poster

This is one of those weird movies that most people either love or hate. Our main character is a traveling magician who needs a one night stay in a motel. He finds a motel and checks in but has trouble checking out the next morning. It seems that once you check in, you are unable to reach reception or the front door to exit. No matter what hallway you go down it lead to another hallway with more rooms. There is not exit. There are many odd sounds and hundreds of people staying there. Basically the motel feels like an unescapable maze.

The guests in the hotel call of main character the liberator, thinking he will lead them out of the motel. They all act oddly and despite what they say they don’t seem to want to really leave. Some have jobs they are given. Things are weird but interesting. The motel is changing. The ending is odd. Not what you will expect. I would have preferred a different ending. I thought Crispin Glover was excellent in his role.

I give it a 6.3/10.

One Maze - Many designs - experiment #10

This is a continuation of my maze design experiments. Read about it in post #1, One Maze - Many designs, then The first 5 experiments and so on, or just enjoy the ride.

The original maze:

Simple Maze

  • The first maze is a thick lines maze. Nothing special.

  • The second maze is a tiny pathways maze. I expanded everything until the pathways were skinny compared to the rest of the maze.

  • The third maze was done using a gradient filter for the inside pathways. It gives it a unique color.

  • The fourth maze I put the original maze into starryai and asked it to make it more interesting. It decided that it needed to be skinnier I guess ?

  • The fifth maze uses a filter called space to make everything look like the nighttime sky.

Nothing earth shattering here. Just me playing around with filters and lines to see what happens.
