People nowadays are spending a lot of their time in front of a TV or computer. In fact watching videos, either online or on television, seems to have become a national pastime. video playback equipment has become an inseparable part of our lives.

Star Wars was one of those magnificent films that was an instant phenomenon when he reached the box office and remains a hit. Why not take a moment to follow the intriguing history of Star Wars.

After a successful career in the 1970s with box office hit American Graffiti, George Lucas in 1975, wrote a basic story about Anakin Skywalker’s rise, fall and redemption. The story is so long that it has to be divided into 2 trilogies.

The first trilogy focuses on the life of young Anakin Skywalker, while the second focuses on the life of Anakin’s son Luke Skywalker. Since the second trilogy is the most interesting, Lucas decided to shoot first.

He offers the Universal Studios film, which had financed his film American Graffiti, but opted to go thinking it was a ridiculous movie. They live to regret this decision, which cost millions of dollars in lost earnings. But would not be alone in those regrets as every Hollywood studio passed on the film. Except for the 20th Century Fox, who came up with $ 10 million for Lucas to make his first Star Wars movie a reality.

When originally produced, a film is often shown to the audience in a theater or cinema. The first theater designed exclusively for cinema opened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in 1905. Thousands of such theaters were built or converted from existing facilities within a few years. In the United States, these theaters came to be known as five cents, because admission typically cost a nickel (five cents).

Typically, one film is the featured presentation (or feature). Before the 1970s, had “double session”, usually a high quality “A picture” rented by an independent theater for a lump sum, and a table “B” of lower quality rented for a percentage of gross income. Today, most of the material shown before the feature film consists of previews for upcoming movies and paid advertisements (also known as trailers or “The Twenty”).

Historically, all mass marketed feature films were made to be shown in cinemas. The development of television has allowed films to be broadcast to a wider audience, usually after the film is not shown in theaters. recording technology has also enabled consumers to rent or buy copies of films on VHS or DVD (and the older formats of laserdisc, VCD and SelectaVision - see also record video), and Internet downloads may be available and have started to become revenue sources for the film business. Some films are made specifically for these other venues, being released as films made for television or direct to video films. The production values of these films are often regarded as inferior compared to theatrical releases in similar genres, and indeed, some films that are rejected by their own studios upon completion are distributed through these markets.

Star is a fact: Where does talent really come from?

A new 900 page review of The Cambridge academic and the Manual of expertise in performance, to be published this month, Freakonomics authors report very interesting conclusions.

(I recommend reading this book, if you have an interest in knowing how to make a star in any discipline.)

Here are three major conclusions of this work:

1. The feature we call talent is highly overrated.

That is, the performers of experts - whether in memory or surgery, ballet or programming - are nearly always made, not born. And yes,

2. Practice makes perfect. And finally, my personal favorite:

3. When choosing a way of life, should do what you like - if it is not love, you can not work enough to get very good.

They add: “Most people naturally do not like doing things that are not” good “. So they often give up, saying that they simply do not possess the talent for math or skiing or violin. ”
