Answering the question I've gotten with what little I have

1. No plates, can't tell.
2. Parked, based on reports from other folks have reported seeing it.
3. As mentioned in first post, I'm passing this along not on the scene. The movie and image are all I have.

Thanks!

After a few disasters I've finally remembered how to make sourdough bread.
A round, dark-golden-brown loaf of freshly baked bread. The edges and top are dusted with flour. The very top has an X shape cut into it.

Did I meet the cutest kitten last week? Signs point to yes.
A small kitten with all black fur and gigantic eyes. It is curled up in a persons palm and looking at the camera.

Need to clean this up, but the initial scan looks like I can make a good print from this negative. #filmphotography

Dog is ready to take your portrait.
A black-and-white colored dog sits behind a Yashica-Mat twin-lens-reflex camera set up on a tripod. He looks like he's ready to take your photo.

I mean, compared to the actual human-made subtitles for many Hong Kong films from the 1980s this is not bad!
Shot of a subtitle. It reads, "You, your pubic hair already knew. I'll tell the people of Tengjia Village that we are not willing to give you our enmity."

A black and white photo of a black and white dog resting his chin on the arm of a couch, directly illluminated by a sunbeam. His eyes are open and most of his body is in shadow behind the arm of the couch.

Hicimos entre 120 de 150 tamales. Yo no los conté exactamente. Cada persona recibió uno bolsa de tamales por su labor. Fin! Hasta la tamalada proxima.
Una olla grande llena de tamales esperen de cocinar. Tres tamales hervido, dos de chorizo y uno de pavo.

@justinmcelroy.bsky.social You were right to doubt, because it's actually Hermey who removes the teeth. Yukon knocks out the Abominable and then Hermey gets down to his dark work.
A still from Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer showing Hermey the Elf holding a pair of pliers. A pile of monster teeth lay on the ground around him.

If you’re on my new year card mailing list, I’ve been busy in the #darkroom for you.
A collection of about two dozen identical small prints of a photo of a black and white dog. The prints are washing in a large plastic tub.

Every month I head to the #darkroom and make a photo prints for this lovely postcard art exchange. This month I sent out a card featuring my dog.

Three 4-inch by 6-inch black and white photos of a black and white dog rest in a large basin of water. All of the photos are the same, and show the dog in close up with his nose resting on the arm of a couch.

Two scans of prints made in the darkroom. One on glossy fiber paper, the other on satin resin paper. Not sure why the resin paper ended up so much darker. Might have to test that further. #filmphotography #darkroom
A print of a black and white photo of a birch tree growing on top of a boulder. Its roots surround and entwine the boulder. This one is printed on glossy fiber paper.

Washed, toned, dried and flattened. Fiber paper can be quite a process! Glossy on the left, matt(e) on the right. #darkroom #FilmPhotography
Two black and white photographic prints. Each of the same picture of a birch tree growing on top of a boulder, its roots surrounding the rock.

Sometimes an entire roll of #FilmPhotography is boring. Though I think this one turned out nice. HP5 on a YashicaMat.
A black and white photo of two wheelebarrows turned upside down, with one resting on top of the other. They are surrounded by a backyard garden made up of hay bales and raised beds.
