The WALL STREET JOURNAL has a catch up article on some of the newer technologies that are set to change the screen exhibition and distribution side of the business.
Amongst the news of Blu-Ray, 3D and Digital Projectors was one technology I had to think twice about. A blu-ray DVD that links into social networking. You watch a movie at home and friends who are watching it at the same time can comment and chat on the TV screen.
Personally I hate people who talk in the movies, and I don't think I'm going to appreciate my facebook aquaintainces giving me their thoughts as I watch a film. Do people want this? Are there any signs? Are we talking on our mobiles while friends watch films? do we text them SMS messages? Do you hear teenagers parting in the playground with calls of 'let's all watch 'Gossip Girl' at the same time and chat'?
With all the calls for content to be free of time and space and the proclaimed death of appointment viewing - is this a little of target?
What do you think?
