There was an art to search based on a card catalogue and the paper material it mostly catalogued, that is lost. It wasn't better than today but it was different. Also. there was a way for students to research and write a paper that was in SOME ways better than today. I'm sure you all remember. Based on taking notes on index cards, and then arranging the index cards into cohesive statement, and then writing it out maybe 1 or 2 long hand. And then typing it on a MANUAL fucking typewriter and getting it almost correct or acceptably correct in 1 pass. This you would finish at 6 am, go to the dining hall, then to class, and hand it in. DONE. The inability to look for more info, and to rewrite a thousand times, and to digitally copy and paste text rather than putting things directly into your own words by handwritten notes. This has somewhat handicapped todays students. They have all the information in the world at their fingertips, and it's all copiable, and that is both + and -

Short the plasterer, plumber, and electrician, I can find each of those in a shop on my street, but I don't live in the U.S. Quality framing of something approximately 16" x 20" with a simple stained/painted wood frame on in silver/gold leaf, glazed and properly mounted, will cost not more than €20, and much less for a very basic wood frame. Every dry cleaning shop does clothing alterations and will find a way to clean anything, inexpensively. Cobblers often do a double business as key makers; a few stand alone and have business sufficient to just do shoes, and the price is never enough that you would consider buying new shoes instead, it's €20 or less. The home repair contractors you have to reach by phone, but the plasterer will be a real plasterer; the guy who repairs stone will be a specialist; the electrician will tell you the cheapest way to do anything, and the plumber (the only one who by tradition doesn't clean up after himself) will try to steer you the most economical and lasting fittings that he knows to be trouble free.

I am old enough that I assure you it was not just one night though not as many as I would have liked as that era was fading and a new kind of cinema more intimate and gritty no longer required those large theaters and screens, Though I saw many films in the upper east side houses and I miss those as well. I hate multiplexes with a passion There is no pleasure for me in going to them.
Todd AO was a high definition 70MM film process used from the mid 50s through the 60s for big budget musicals and epics often shown(but not exclusively) on large curved screens in large theaters let's say which seated 1,500 people so while vast gave you a sense of intimacy. I can't imagine a multiplex theater seats more than a third of that. If a Todd AO film was a big success it would play in one theater for literally years. South Pacific played in a London movie house for 4 years. Airport (neither a musical or an epic yet still filmed in the process) which I saw at Radio City played there for months but that seated 6,000 and still had long lines where people on weekends would have to wait for hours. If you saw a Todd AO print of The Sound of Music it was pretty stunning. I would give anything to see Around the World in 80 Days(which I admit comes across badly on TV) in such a print but I don't think the negative even exists any longer in salvageable condition. I always wished somebody would ask Elizabeth Taylor about it but they never did.

Roadshow movies, when going to the movies was an event. Shown on a huge screen, with great sound. Reserved seats. Souvenir programs. Overture, Intermission, Entr’acte, Exit Music.
Okay, so all of them weren’t the greatest films ever shown. You can say the same about practically everything now on cable.
But no matter how grand, no TV show can match what it’s like to be sitting in a movie palace as the overture plays, and the lights dim.
