Subject: RE: BS: What should we bring back again ?
So RDS radios are infra-dig? I don't want to change stations, I just want one that can find the same station on a different frequency as I drive around. Knobs is fer nobs.

Movies that have something to offer other than visual effects and noise- such

An interesting TED talk on the subject showed a sequence where one frame in 20 were sequenced. Old B&W movies from (say the 30s) compared with modern fare.

The message was: scene changes are at least twice as often. Less time to absorb the message. And I find that there is a lot of assumed knowledge which is surely part of that. No time to provide all the information before the scene changes. It is a fashion born out of the ease of editing, and why I don't go the the cinema as often as I did. See it on TV and you can re-wind &/or switch on subtitles. Some movies the latter is advisable anyway.
