Any one else see the secret cinema thing on CNN?

I just imagined what a great tool that could be. :D I think Michael Moore should organize a few.

10. It is a buildup of a secret showing of cinema at an undisclosed location with undisclosed contents

of cinema using street actors, technology etc to create curiosity, then it shows.

20. I watch free movies in the park two blocks from my house all the time.

It is a lot of fun even though the crowd is noisy, the quality of the screen and the print is poor. And the audience does not need Windows phones to enhance the experience.

15. And what if a huge throng of people gathered to watch stuff in very public places for free.

Could be informative. Where's your imagination?

18. Free? That's one of the things I was wondering... who's paying for all this?

I saw a clip of a showing of Blade Runner, and it must have cost a lot putting it together... I was thinking the tickets must be really expensive.

22. I really just made an assumption that it was free. Wasn't paying close enough attention.

My imagination ran away with itself. :evilgrin: Wouldn't have to cost all that much.
