S1 E11 - "General Parsley Smith"

0:25 wanna guess where Marshal Matt Dillon is?? *ohyeah* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp9JA4sO3CA

Well... he's not the first deceased man I've ever been deeply in love with. But you know... in a way, he lives forever.

3:17 damn, Chester lookin' fine as hell in this episode. They both are lookin' extra fine! What's up with that?

4:15 lmao it's so funny Matt says that cuz when I heard "3rd" I was like damn, what is this guy like 100 or something?!

8:50 you can't just jail people for shit talkin'... man this guy is OBNOXIOUS. They need to run him out of town.

21:10 I will say that I fucking despise the loudness of gunshots on film and no amount of hotass dudes will make me not hate it.

23:40 this stupidly loud bullshit did spark a very fascinating line of curiosity for me though...

How the fuck did film have audio too??

So I looked into it...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound-on-film

Quote:Sound on film can be dated back to the early 1880s, when Charles E. Fitts filed a patent claiming the idea. In 1923 a patent was filed by E. E. Ries, for a variable density soundtrack recording, which was submitted to the SMPE (now SMPTE), which used the mercury vapor lamp as a modulating device to create a variable-density soundtrack. Later, Case Laboratories and Lee De Forest attempted to commercialize this process, when they developed an Aeolite glow lamp, which was deployed at Movietone Newsreel at the Roxy Theatre in 1927. In 1928, Fox Film purchased Case Laboratories and produced its first talking film In Old Arizona using the Aeolite system. The variable-density sound system was popular until the mid-1940s.

My mind is blown, and I don't get it at all... but I'm glad I looked into it. I had never even thought about it before.

To me... it seems like magic. What is that quote about magic and technology?

Quote:"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke

For the first time, I get it.

24:30 "You know, marshal... *leans forward*" Aw man, I gotta hand it to them... that was pretty damn amazing. Great scene.
