Curious. It does seem to working fine now.


Maybe they saw we liked John Carter and decided to let it pass. Smiley
 

I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.

Worked for me too, even when I switched to YouTube to watch fullscreen. Usually they'd just block the sound rather than remove the video.


They seem to have a new option where, if you acknowledge that the music is third-party content, they just play ads over it that send money to the owner. To be honest, I'm perfectly cool with that. I really like the Space Mountain music for these things, and I didn't want to use freaking "Toubou" again.

Niel's time-lapse film, like the ones before it, demonstrate how hale and hearty many of the attendees are during the 24 Hours! Many are the brave marathoners who stay glued to their seats from the Atomic Fireball to the last announcement.

It also tells another story: Some of the best seats in the house -the center section five to ten rows back are occupied by people's belongings the entire time!

Who hasn't asked "Are those seats taken?" and had the response "I'm saving them for..." The time lapse clearly shows that some of those fine seats are saved for coats, blankets and munchies while unfortunate marathoners have to look at the screen from a corner or a distant balcony seat. So please be considerate and remember we're all in this together.

Good point R.F.
In the words of Harry Tuttle (Robert DeNiro) from the film Brazil.
"Remember, we're all in this together."

Though for what it's worth the front row seats in the big auditorium at The Somerville are great seats, even the side rows.

I'm seriously thinking of picking up a second camera to do an alternate angle time lapse for next year. The folks in the balcony never show up, because there's a bank of house lights mounted on there that completely blind the camera between each movie.
