As bad as those were, the "newer" technology of clipping a lead to your antenna so that you would listen to the movie's soundtrack through your car stereo was often worse.
When The Empire Strikes Back opened in 1980, I foolishly allowed a friend to convince me to see it at a local drive-in theater because he didn't want to wait in one of those lines that encircled the walk-in theaters. The problem was that, throughout the movie, the broadcast from one of the local radio stations kept intermittently bleeding through; sometimes it would blend in with the movie's soundtrack, other times it would override it completely. So, there we sat, watching Luke Skywalker in a duel with Darth Vader, not to the sound of John Williams' brilliant score, but to the B-52s' "Rock Lobster". :frusty:
Ah, okay. I know Marvel was in a hurry to get The Avengers made, but I wish they would have waited and made another Captain America movie set in the 1940s because I really liked The First Avenger.The First Avenger.
Yeah, not what I'd call a stellar moviegoing experience. :mmph: I can laugh about it now, but at the time I wasn't happy.The Rock Lobster Duel in Space. lol lol lol Tin roof rusting!
Saw a 2014 French Israeli production Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem last night. Essentially, it's an account of a Gett (divorce) proceedings before an Israeli rabbinical court. I was fascinated by the procedural techniques of the court itself-
Viviane is Esmerelda tried before an ecclesiastical court. Orthodox rabbinic law ignores the individual flame of nature,
and, like Catholic canon law often eludes the human heart. But did Viviane win her freedom by some chance?
What? And spoil the movie for you by revealing the ending? [huh]
Esmerelda she's not, though: Vivianne's antagonists are not evil and she's not the pitiful victim.

Jeez I didn’t realize that was going to be so large! Sorry.
I think Metropolis Was one of the finest films ever. I’ve often wondered, though, what became of the actors of that film during the war years? How many of those kids became soldiers of the Third Reich?
You’re probably right. Sad really. I think some of the older actors were anti-Nazi though and fled the country. But a couple I have heard were very pro Nazi…like a producer maybe. I know Fritz Lang though fled and came to America.If they lived in Germany and could hold a gun, my bet is they ended up in the German army.
