Looking for a weird movie

Good Day! I am looking for a movie which features a really weird scene: men with leopard heads as breasts who shoot milk out of these heads. It is a really strange scene. I thought that it might have been a movie by Federico Fellini, but I did not find anything. Please help me to find this movie. Thanks!--2A02:1205:5049:A1D0:F86B:113A:EF10:B27B (talk) 16:57, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alejandro Jodorowsky -- weirder on his most normal days than Fellini at his most surreal. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 19:43, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Jodorowsky's abortive attempt at making Herbert's Dune into a film tells you a lot about his weirdness. He cast Salvadore Dali as the emperor, and the film had a run-time comparable to what one would spend actually reading the book. Not that David Lynch's version was good in any normal understanding of the term, but Jodorowski's sounds like it may have been at least a more delightful disaster. --Jayron 32 13:56, 26 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Volleyball rotation

Once a serve is negotiated by defending team, everybody can assume their most desired spots on the field? Is that right? Can there be too many men in offensive section, ie 4? Splićanin (talk) 22:49, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Before play, the location must be three-and-three, but after the ball is put into play, they players have complete freedom of movement with the lone exception that back-row players (the three that began in the back before the serve) can ONLY play an attack (send the ball over the net) from the rear zone, that is back row players can play the ball (as in a dig or a set) to their own teammates from anywhere on the court, but those three players can only send it over the net if they do so from behind the attack line. The three front row players have complete freedom of motion and can attack from anywhere. This means teams have to be careful to distribute their "attackers" so that there's always at least one strong attacker in the attack zone at serve at any time. However, there is no penalty for a player merely being in the wrong place, merely for playing the ball over the net if they were not one of the three attackers. There is also an optional player called the "libero" who is like a super-defensive player; teams may substitute the libero in for one of their backrow players at any time, but the libero can never send the ball over the net, and can only perform an overhand "set" if they are positioned in the defending zone. See here for more information. --Jayron 32 15:18, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to answer in such detail. With that in mind, please forgive this question: Are you absolutely sure libero cannot send the ball over the net? Splićanin (talk) 18:52, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, you are correct, the libero can return via dig only, they may not play a ball over the net if they hit it from above head height. A defensive "dig" that returns over the net is fine, but they cannot play attacking shots from anywhere on the court; other backline players have some, but less restrictions. Like the libero, they can return any shot over the net from below net height, but they can only use attacking shots (hitting the ball above net height over the net) if they do so from behind their restraining line. --Jayron 32 20:06, 25 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
