Link of the Day [4.11.11]
Did movie going go out of fashion? Is it no longer social? Or has it changed into something else?
We watch lots of movies, but no longer together. What does that do for our common experience?
Imagine watching Star Wars for the first time as a downloaded iTunes file. Would it be as awesome? Would it be mind blowing? Would you watch it all the way through mesmerized? Or would you have it playing in the background as you facebook your friends? Could you feel the anticipation of getting back in line at the theatre to see it again? Or would you rather press play again?
