WIRED!

Check it out.  http://www.wired.com/underwire/2010/10/cinema-breakthroughs-busts/?pid=1205&viewall=true
      Whoa.  I have seen so many so many of these movies mentioned in this article, and I was not aware of how advanced they were for their time.  Snow White was probably the first movie I remember ever seeing!! 
I also saw Star Wars Attack of The Clone, that was shot in 24 frame-per-second HD digital video.  Just think exactly one century from Star Wars, was  Georges Méliès's movie A Trip to The Moon (Le Voyage Dans La Lune.   
     I totally feel like The Birth of a Nation would be a bore to watch, a silent action film?  Watching an action film in a theater is like going to a Metallica concert.  You may even loose your hearing!  I'm sure I have lost mine through my headphones.  Speaking of Action, I also watched Apocolypse Now in my cultural theory class.  I did think the movie was so loud!!!! Now I know why, it was because of its surround sound which was kind of awful but it was the first type of sound like that for its time.  


    Ya learn something new every day! P.S. SO EXCITED FOR GLEE TONIGHT....
