Jeez, big surprise. One's shot in a studio by professional photographers on 35 mm film in color with carefully prepared lighting and perfect conditions. The other is shot on a slow scan 10 fps black & white camera then converted to NTSC standards with a one generation loss of picture quality, and then stuck out on a tripod and left to just shoot whatever was in front of it, in the middle of what could be called, at the very least, a wilderness. And newsreel footage taken in battle conditions on a beach look just as clear and bright as footage shot for a Hollywood movie, right? Besides, even though I'm not a Star Trek fan, I believe it premiered before 1969.
Do we have anything like this today, in education OR entertainment, that encourages the exercise of critical thought, examination, deduction, i.e. science? Why is the lessons of the past so easily forgotten? It's not that I think people in the past were smarter, it's that I think people of the current are less willing to admit that they aren't smarter, either. I hate how being human is so complicated...
I can remember Eammon Andrews as a boxer and then a boxing commentator before becoming a TV personality best known for being the host of This Is Your Life.
I GIVE YOU 1 OF THE BIGGEST TU's IN HUMAN HISTORY BECAUSE THIS IS NOT CLICKBATE THIS IS I BELIEVE THE BEST CONTESTANT EVER! By far! Thank you for being honest.
If you see it in old movies, it wasn't an individual "ride" by itself. It was part of the "Fun House" where, as you went through, all kinds of little jokes were played on you, like moving floors and mirrors that you'd walk into. In the old days, ladies used to wear all kinds of undergarments, so when the skirt flew up, you weren't seeing much. It was more to get a laugh at the surprise of the person suddenly getting a blast of wind. The mistake people make is they think what is now always used to be. People dressed different 75 years ago. Take a look at an old picture and see that everyone is wearing a hat, and not baseball caps. You were considered undressed if you went out of the house without a hat on. Things have changed.
That didn't age well, unless of course todays woman doesn't mind being assaulted and humiliated in public , because that's what their lawyers would say.
Dorothy Kilgallen Was Killed/Murdered because She just had a Private meeting with Jack Rubinstein aka Jack Ruby who Shot/Killed Lee Harvey Oswald. And he gave Her the whole low down on who was Responsible for the Assassinaton of JFK, which She was about to Publish. Her Husband committed SUICIDE a Few Years Later.
I held my hand over my eyes when they told us his job, and guessed correctly with one question to go, so well done me 🙂Only because I'm old enough to remember those machines, mind you.
I had no idea that the Irishman Eamonn Andrews appeared on American TV. Must have been one of the first TV personalities to appear on shows in Ireland, Britain and the US. Impressive.
@@BillGreenAZ Something happened to the people of this once great land. Maybe it was far too much government encroaching on personal and economic freedoms, and the hard money of silver coinage/dollar-gold link that existed then.
