It's nice to know where the Smashing Pumpkins video for Tonight, Tonight came from

 

[Jive Turkey]

Didnt the screening of Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat cause panic in the theatre because people were afraid of getting hit by it?

 

[purpleoscar]

Yeah I think I heard that. I'm sure today's filmmakers wish they had such innocent, naive filmgoers. A modern movie (espeically horror, action, sci-fi) would make them faint.
