I work in live theatre, and I have to say that I found MD to be a fabulous format when running through soundtraks for a show during dress rehearsals. True, the sound quality may not be as high. What made MDs rock was that you could record every possible option for a particular sound effect, and with the appropriate player you could rearrange the order over and over and delete unnecessary tracks on the spot. No more having a sound designer take copious notes so they could fix things and bring a newly burned CD in for the next rehearsal. A few shows I've worked on went through dozens of versions (on CD-ROMs) before reaching a finalized version. What a waste of time and resources.
Unfortunately, as discussed in other posts, the players are expensive and I believe this has kept more theatres from using this format.
This is a fabulous idea. And, rightly so, it has me thinking about 'Tron'.
Question is: how do you decide which malware is the red guys and which is the blue guys?
Yeah, for $75 it makes sense to buy all three extended version DVDs, call up a friend with an LCD projector, and make a day of it in his/her living room. Invite friends, order pizza, drink beer, the works. I think it would be much better to do the marathon sitting in couches and beanbag chairs than being cramped into movie theatre seats.
We are a people inundated with propaganda proclaiming America's superiority. Unfortunately, far too many people are willing to accept that propaganda as truth. I fear that as a society we are too lazy (or perhaps too apathetic) to go out on our own, search for facts, and form our own opinions. (Please note that I'm aware this is a gross generalization. There are many out there who do not fit into that group.) Our government supports this, in fact, counts on it for the success of its agenda. Those who choose to express a different view must be shut down. Freedom of thought causes dissension, and what government tolerates that?
