'Pod People -- Wall Street Journal on "Feature Films on Tiny Screens"

Posted by clarkjohnsen on February 24, 2008 at 12:38:29:
Great article!

"New eras can reveal themselves in the oddest ways. A revelation came to me at a recent Los Angeles screening of an animated feature for kids. As soon as the lights went down and the first sequence filled the screen -- a huge curved expanse in one of the city's last remaining single-screen movie palaces -- a young mother sitting with two kids near me pulled out a pair of earbuds, stuck them in her ears and started watching her own show on her iPhone."

Cut to the chase? "The digital revolution, having contaminated movies as a social experience, now provides the alternative of isolation."
