Welcome through the hollowed portals which make the parade to the Oscar ceremony look like the sets from the original Star Trek. You have found the home of the H2G2 Film Society where the vast everythingness of film can be discussed and referenced. Indeed a lot of your fellow researchers have and are writing about that recent centurian the moving picture. In the early days people marvelled at simply scenes which unlike the pictures in a book would move, 20 seconds of film would make people queue up to see this new marvel. Now several million and a lot of hype might do the same thing¹ but are we becoming a little more blase about the "movies"
