Spoken like a guy who hasn't spent a lot of time in the cattle-car class on an international flight in a good long while. Does he really think people are watching movies on their iPhone as their primary film watching environment? I load mine up with movies and tv shows (mostly tv shows, really) and then spend 26 hours per month on a plane with no entertainment system. God forbid I should deign to want some portable entertainment in order to relieve the boredom of watching the little plane icon creep slowly across the world map on the overhead GPS.

There's plenty of other entertainment for flights.

Yeah, although most people don't spend 26 hours a month a plane. So yeah. While your situation is certainly not the norm, I still a lot of non "jet setters" happily watching tv/film on tiny ass little screens. Blech.

And watching anything Lynch on a screen that small is just pointless.

I remember that movie.
They made the prop corpses out of beef jerky.
Make that cannibalism look a little more convincing.

All I ever heard of David Lynch was from an episode of Aqua Teen.
It was that one where Shake had all the raw chickens littering the floor and claims David Lynch did the same and got on TV by doing so.
I once tried this myself and all I got was a smack!!

"here's plenty of other entertainment for flights."

I don't know about you, but I am flat out incapable of sitting and reading for 13 hours straight, never mind that I also cannot possibly carry enough books with me for 2 or 3 weeks in a foreign country and 26 hours of flight time. Well, at least, I couldn't until I got my Amazon Kindle earlier this month. That thing definitely changes the picture, but I still want to be able to turn off my brain and watch TV/Movies while sitting on the plane and waiting in line at the airport and such.

Besides, my point wasn't that an iphone is only good on an airplane, it was that no one is using their phone as their priary viewing environment. They use their phone when they've got nothing better available. Also, my iPhone displays movies quite nicely on my nice big television at home. Is Lynch suggesting that I should never consume media on my TV, too? It is a storage and transport mechanism that happens to have a small display attached for convenience.

Earbuds are a very lo-fi way to listen to music, but I don't see anyone saying that ipods and other mp3 players should be abandoned and all music should be listened to on a multi-thousand dollar stereo.

It is just typical snobbery from the artiste crowd - the same folks who wouldn't deign to listen to mp3 because it is a compressed format that may not quite capture every last nuance of the original recording.

His point was that movies are made with a theatre-going experience in mind so you get that larger than life visual and audible experience along with the surrounding audience feedback that adds to the experience (that's 3 times, i know). Young people are losing sight of that with the ease and portability of the internets and their Apple electronics.

I don't have a problem with it but they are 2 totally different experiences and filmmakers ideally want their creations scene in the most dynamic way.

To each his own. My last trip, to China, I took two books. They easily lasted the flights going and coming and the trains over there. Actually we planned our train trips as overnighters so didn't really need any distractions on the trains.

And due to funky planning and a delay I also once spent 28 hours straight on planes coming home from NZ.

"It is just typical snobbery from the artiste crowd - the same folks who wouldn't deign to listen to mp3 because it is a compressed format that may not quite capture every last nuance of the original recording."

I don't agree with that analogy. I happily listen to 128k mp3s but don't watch movies on anything the size of an iPhone or smaller.

And, I like to read.

Ideasculptor,

I used to be one of those anti mp3 listeners. But i've since sold off my highend gear and just enjoy the music for what it is now. Every once in a while i miss critical listening sessions but i've gotten over it. But the sweet warm sound of analog vinyl will always hold a place in my heart.

toweliesbong:
I like to read, too. I usually go through 2 books a week, and that's without long sessions of sitting on an airplane. I used to bring 5 books on my 2 week business trips and would always be finished with them before heading home. And I'm wondering if you ever HAVE watched a movie on a small screen. It isn't ideal, but it is nowhere near as bad as you'd think. I pooh-poohed the idea, too, until I sat next to someone on an airplane who as watching tv on an ipod, and that was before the advent of the much larger screen on the iphone. Quite frankly, it is a VERY watchable screen. It is small, but the pixels are very close together and the fidelity is reasonable. I made up a little rig that lets me attach it to the back of the headrest in front of me and extend toward my face, and it is far more watchable than the crappy screens in the seatbacks of airlines that offer more amenities than Aeroflot. Also, I wouldn't really compare the experience of one-time vacation travel to the other side of the planet with regular monthly trips there - the boredom and routine factors are much higher with regular business travel.

As for the high-end audio thing. Just as there really isn't a substitute for seeing a well made film at the arclight, mp3 is no replacement for the sweet spot in front of a high end audiophile stereo. I don't listen to my ipod at the expense of my lving room stereo, but I can't take my living room stereo with me on a road trip, or to work, the gym, a bicycle ride, etc. So when I want to listen to music and a high end system isn't available, I use mp3. Just as when I want to watch a movie, but I have to be able to carry it in my pocket, the iPhone is the solution for me. The right tool for the job is all I'm sayin...
