The Internet used to be a meeting place for visionaries and cutting-edge nerds. Now everyone and their dog is online.
Is it possible to transmit text and media files worldwide through some geekier or even retro channel?
Shortwave radio? Carrier pigeon? Telegraph? Pneumatic tubes? Semaphore towers? Smoke signal? Heliograph? I suppose ham radio lives on, but it's not really text or a code. Hey, there's always snail mail too.
I should do poetry performances in flag semaphore in the park and see if anybody tries to transcribe them. |

1. Pick 10 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Fill in the film title once it's guessed.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
1. Network: It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity. It is ecological balance. You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations; there are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems; one vast, interwoven, interacting, multi-varied, multinational dominion of dollars. ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) thanks4thefish
2. The Man Who Would Be King The slut bit me! ltmurnau
3. Ma grand-mère avait convaincu mon père que la santé venait en chiant.
4. Life of Brian: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to have babies, brother... sister. Sorry. lisanys
5. The Blue Angel: They call me Lola. ryuquir
6. I do have a couple of minor quibbles, like the red stripe here. In the actual movie, it's going to be about half this thickness, but she can change that easily. And the lines running across here are more prominent in the actual versions, but then again, she can just do some top-stitching there.
7. Metropolis: There can be no understanding between the hand and the brain unless the heart acts as mediator. ltmurnau
8. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Winds It's so beautiful. It's hard to believe these spores could kill me. futabachan
9. Manos: The Hands of Fate: I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the Master is away. jadedsquirrel
10. The King of Kong: Some people sort of ruin their lives to be in there. bunnyhero |
