James Gleick : "It is not so easy anymore. Even people who love classical music find themselves bereft of the act of will necessary for blocking out forty uninterrupted minutes away from telephone or computer. Halfway through the adagio they feel a tickle somewhere between the temporal and occipital lobes and realize they are fighting an impulse to reach for a magazine-but no multitasking now, please! The great symphonies and concertos and operas and chamber pieces from 1700 onward, the works that make up the core repertory of classical music, were composed with the idea that listeners would be attending to them with all their conscious minds, having arranged their schedules and perhaps paid money to occupy a seat in a concert hall for a set time. Listeners were enclosed in ritual spaces, with nothing to do but listen and watch. Now there are other temptations."

"In this episode, David Chen, Devindra Hardawar, and Adam Quigley muse about what technology has done to the moviegoing experience and chat about whether DVDs have risen in value now that Blu-Rays have been released without some key special features."

"Has popcorn had its day?
Would popcorn-free cinemas ruin the experience for you, or is it good riddance to a messy, noisy, expensive snack? And what do you munch on at the flicks? [..]
The news in today's Observer that Picture House cinemas are to experiment with popcorn-free films may come as no surprise to devotees of the independent cinema chain more used to yoghurt coated raisins and the delights of taking a G&T into the auditorium than scoffing huge quantities of exploded maize."

"Not a lot happens in Norwich... But the Picturehouse chain's plans to get rid of popcorn from its arthouse cinemas was big news Sunday..."
