    May 23 2011: What other medium allows 200+ people to sit in a darkened room and have a dream simultaneously streamed into their collective consciousness?

    Film, as the most dynamic of storytelling mediums, can move the masses, to be certain.

    Whether it's for global goodness or not, depends on the filmmaker and their subject/theme.

      Jun 10 2011: I'm always disheartened when I'm the one of only a few people in a theatre, especially when it is a wonderful film. There is nothing like being able to discuss a film with everyone as we're leaving the experience.
