    Where do you think cinema goes from here?

    RE: the kids thing, seems like a lot of that is just nurtured by their parents and immediate cultural environments (and peers)... some of which may be very hard to counter other than to simply opt for the kind of lifestyles and environments that are nearly completely opposed to those... Even...

    Very good points. I was alright w/ the latest trilogy myself. Didn't hate any of them -- my son hated especially the 2nd installment, but probably also the last. For me, probably the awful prequels killed enough expectations for me to lower the bar enough to just enjoy the ride w/ the latest...

    Where do you think cinema goes from here?

    I went to a ScreenX screening of Black Widow... and what's up w/ all the neon exit signs and lights staying on brightly w/ the way that presentation is supposed to work??? Those issues already downgraded the experience for regular screening/format before this, but it's just ridiculous for...

    Technically, Spock should probably correct that to something else like historical music/artifact. "Classical" actually has specific meanings and is commonly applied somewhat erroneously to that particularly kind/category of music... and I should think Spock (or Data) would want a more...

    OR metal, techno and rap... I still don't care for those much w/ few exceptions. Interestingly, metal can actually be not quite that far off from some classical music, including opera -- and actually, some of the singing in metal can even resemble Peking/Beijing opera, which isn't my cup o'...

    Never heard of him... but opera definitely seems an acquired taste (at least for modern sensibilities/tastes). Took me a long while to really warm to it (at least the European stuff) -- and having a big projection screen at home helps that much more me thinks though I did already warm to the...

    Heck. Given what might become of theatrical exhibition going forward, we might switch to the same model/trend as music(al) exhibition very soon... where you have essentially museum-type pieces/screenings even for new productions. Actually, that's already almost the case for a lot of small...

    Seriously, have you naysayers been reading the ongoing thread about Criterion's 1st 4K releases? I don't really know how those bored (enough to complain) w/ Citizen Kane, 2001: Space Odyssey, etc would be all that interested in what Criterion does, but there you have it, LOL... :lol: _Man_

    Where do you think cinema goes from here?

    I'm sure there will be people discussing these comic book adaptations... just as there's long been interest and discussions surrounding the comics where these originated. Sure, won't likely be a mainstream crowd doing that, but neither are the classics you (and I) happen to appreciate and/or...
