Who is that actor on the screen? Emacs/LLM/Fun Redux

I’ve got a cold, so I futzed around a bit more with this…
To try to answer that eternal question that we all ask ourselves when we watch a move — who’s that, then? — I poked at ChatGPT to see whether it could tell me. And the answer was “kinda”, but it didn’t really want to, so the results were a bit hard to use in practice.
However, because Google dropped the “don’t be evil” motto (obviously), Gemini has no scruples whatsoever about identifying people. Which means that I can get it to output data in a more useful manner.
I asked it to return most famous movies, and also the IMDB ID. This means that I can display the actor headshot to see whether the answer is correct. I have to create an OSD overlay for mpv , which led me to further mpv fun :
Eurmh… Yeah, yeah, I should read the ImageMagick manual, but from bitter experience I know that it’s not super helpful on the “raw” formatting stuff.
What? RBGA? Swap? That sounds suspiciously wrong, but I tried it anyway, and it was wrong.
