My_ruFF?Theatre

I thoroughly enjoyed the creation of our super film screening fort of secrecy and adventure. it brought back billions of childhood memories or all the sheets and clothespins we used.... absolutely life changing id say. Rough theatre eh? I hadnt heard of that term until this class and the idea of it is intriguing. I remember hearing in a previous class that for some japanese films there would be a narrator who stood up in front and narrated silent films, and this goes for amaerica as well with pianos and other musical accompaniment. And why shouldnt film be an event? are films not just a captured play of sorts? and isnt the purpose of theatre the focus on performance and presentation??? i think weve become lazy in our digital age, seems just a video will do in a darkroom with a bunch of random people.... no talking! thats just silly. i think people should be more inventive with the way they show their films. and they should be motivated to! they spent a long time working on them, so why not get inventive? I want to show a movie in 3d and have people utilize squirt guns or some sort of 4th dimensional interactivities sort of like the muppet 3d experience. Tho, on the other hand i can see why the rough theatre may not be for everyone. I kno i have vowed never to go see the rocky horro picture show, and i guess because its just not the kinda scene for everyone. maybe some people do just enjoy sitting in a dark room, personally reflkecting with the film as it shows... comfortable, personal, nice.
