Bleach bypass
"Bleach bypass", as used in this context, was first used in Japanese filmmaker Hiroshi Inagaki's 1943 film "Muhomatsu no issho or The Rickshaw Man". Kazuo Miyagawa, as Daiei Motion Picture Company's cameraman, invented bleach bypass for Inagaki's film, inspired by the color rendition in the 1956 release of "Moby-Dick", printed using dye-transfer Technicolor, and was achieved through the use of an additional black and white overlay. Actually, this is a throwback to pre-1944 Technicolor, which incorporated a silver-containing "blank receiver" with the silver image printed from the green separation negative, but at 50-percent density, upon which the color dyes were imprinted by utilizing "imbibition"; this concept may have been employed here, but at a different density. Despite this early foray into the technique, it remained overlooked for the most part until its use by Roger Deakins in "1984". The effect has subsequently become a regular development tool in labwork, and has remained in widespread usage ever since. Some notable practitioners include cinematographers Rodrigo Prieto, Remi Adefarasin, Darius Khondji, Dariusz Wolski, Walter Carvalho, Oliver Stapleton, Newton Thomas Sigel, Park Gok-ji, Shane Hurlbut, Steven Soderbergh (as "Peter Andrews"), Tom Stern, Vittorio Storaro, and Janusz Kamiński (notably on Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" and "Minority Report").

Superhero film
Alex Proyas' "The Crow" (1994) became the first independent comics superhero film that established a franchise. As Joel Schumacher's "Batman & Robin" (1997) was critically panned for being too jokey and tongue-in-cheek, "The Crow" brought in a new realm of violence absent in previous popular superhero films targeted at younger audiences and bridging a gap to the more modern action film. The success of "The Crow" catalyzed the release of a film version of "Spawn" (1997), Image Comics' leading character. The success of the "darker" Image Comics characters shifted the direction of comic book movies. Marvel soon released their films to become franchises, "Men in Black" (1997) and "Blade" (1998). After Marvel bought Malibu Comics (The company owned "Men in Black"), Marvel and Columbia Pictures released the "Men in Black" film and comics in 1997. The film became the first Marvel property to win an Oscar and the then highest-grossing comic book adaptation until the release of Sam Raimi’s "Spider-Man" in 2002. "Blade" was also a mix of a more traditional action film as well as darker superhero film with the title character having vampire powers as well as carrying an arsenal of weaponry. The success of "Blade" began Marvel's film success (which debuted in Marvel Comics) and set the stage for further comic book film adaptations.

List of Bleach characters
Kubo has cited influences for elements of "Bleach" ranging from other manga series to music, foreign language, architecture, and film. He attributes his interest in drawing the supernatural and monsters to Shigeru Mizuki's "Ge Ge Ge no Kitaro" and "Bleach"'s focus on unique weaponry and battle scenes to Masami Kurumada's "Saint Seiya", both manga Kubo enjoyed as a boy. "Bleach" was first conceived from Kubo's desire to draw a "shinigami" in a kimono, which formed the basis for the design of the Soul Reapers. Several characteristics from them such as the "kidō" spells and the "zanpakutō" swords are also based on Japanese literature. Rukia Kuchiki was the first character Kubo designed, but he did not see her as a lead character, so he created Ichigo Kurosaki to be the series protagonist. Other characters from the series also use different languages to describe their terminology; the powers from the Quincy are taken from German, while Hollows and Arrancar instead use Spanish terms; for the latter, Kubo believed that the language sounded "bewitching" and "mellow" and that felt appropriate for a species of ghost. The names of several Arrancar are based on famous architects and designers who inspired scenery appearing in "Bleach".

Bleach (Nirvana album)
"Bleach" did not sell well but received positive reviews from critics when it was first released. Anthony Carew from the About.com Guide said that the album "define[d] the entire decade of the '90s", and awarded it four out of five stars. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album three and a half out of five stars, noting that "Kurt Cobain illustrated signs of his considerable songcraft, particularly on the minor-key ballad 'About a Girl' and the dense churn of 'Blew'". He also said that "it's a debut from a band that shows potential but haven't yet achieved it." "NME"s Edwin Pouncey said that the album was the "biggest, baddest sound that Sub Pop have so far managed to unearth. So primitive that they manage to make label mates Mudhoney sound like Genesis, Nirvana turn up the volume and spit and claw their way to the top of the musical garbage heap", and gave it an eight out of ten rating. "Bleach" was considered by "Rolling Stone Magazine" as "a moderate hit on college radio and the underground/DIY circuit." Robert Christgau regarded it as possibly an "A–" record in retrospect, and wrote in "The New Yorker", "Familiar now with Cobain's extraordinary gift, we can hear it loud and clear on the 1989 debut album, "Bleach". Cobain's gigantic, goofy, bass-playing buddy Krist Novoselic added drollery to the band's chaotic irreverence."

The Deadly Bees
Bloch wrote in his autobiography: "Once the completed screenplay arrived in England, the problem of matching stellar schedules - and salaries - put the roles into other hands and the script itself into the hands of its director. As is often the case, he decided to improve it, with the aid of a writer called Anthony Marriott, but apparently without the knowledge of Rosenberg and Subotsky [Amicus Films' producers], who left prior to production. Both of them had liked my original version, but by the time they returned, the screenplay had been improved past recognition and the shoot was already beginning. Sometime during 1966 the film was released under a new title [which implies Bloch's script was titled, as the novel was, "A Taste for Honey"] "The Deadly Bees". As such it soon buzzed off into critical oblivion, unwept, unhonoured and unstung" Bloch is reputed to have been so annoyed by the interference with his script that he never bothered to see the completed film."The Deadly Bees" was released to Blu-Ray on 27 October 2015 by Olive Films under license from Paramount Pictures.

The Blair Witch Project
Development of "The Blair Witch Project" began in 1993. While film students at the University of Central Florida, Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez were inspired to make the film after realizing that they found documentaries on paranormal phenomena scarier than traditional horror films. The two decided to create a film that combined the styles of both. In order to produce the project, they, along with Gregg Hale, Robin Cowie and Michael Monello, started Haxan Films. The namesake for the production company is Benjamin Christensen's 1922 silent documentary horror film "Häxan" (English: "Witchcraft Through the Ages").
