Movies are analog film that are so long they must be put on several spools. Those ovals at the top right of movies shown in theaters are to trigger the next roll of film. This was explain in the movie Fight Club. Although I don't typically like movies with lots of violence and sex, Fight Club was worth buying the DVD because of its wonderfull plot and well developed charater(s).
I hope Microsofts push for digital theaters works because I am tired of seeing those "cigarette burns" as they are called in the industry. Digital theaters would also be much clearing be cause there is no film to wear out, get hairs and dust on, etc.
The previous question still stands as I was just trying to answer one that was skipped.
