dear sinister, I remember a while ago someone saying something about this, but senor pinefox was nice enough to comment on it, reminding me that I wanted to also comment on it: "There is something to be said about the altered phenomenology of film since video: ie, the possibility that viewers concentrated on movies more when they might not get to see another film again for another 20 years." this seems plausible, but to what end? I must say that I am greatly in favor of video/dvd/laserdisc etc. because my chosen field is film studies, and without those lovely mediums where we can watch movies over and over and analyze them to death like the cool literature kids have gotten to do for a long time with their "books", film studies wouldn't exist. well, it might, but it'd be hard to do. I'm sure no one cares. I'll shut up now. -eric p.s. you should all go to dublin. it's a keen place with more vintage clothing stores per square mile than any other city I've ever been to. plus, it's got the dublin viking adventure, and really, how can you go wrong? ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
