Hátigen A vicc, hogy az Apollo 11 legénységének is van csillaga a tv-ben nyújtott tevékenységért. Talán a Holdtagadók Társasága szponzorálta :) Végülis: Churchill meg irodalmi Nobel-díjat kapott :)

Donald Trump valamivel leöntve. Nem akarom tudni, hogy mivel öntötték le ennek a derék, becsületes, szőke, fehér hazafinak a csillagát.

The first private screening of a motion picture took place in Paris on this date in 1895. Auguste and Louis Lumière had heard about Thomas Edison's new invention, the Kinetoscope. It was a peephole machine that pulled a strip of film in front of a light source, and to the viewer, the images on the film seemed to move. The Lumière brothers, who had a business selling photographic plates, decided to come up with a device to project the images on a screen so that more than one person could view them at a time. Their very first footage was a group of workers leaving the Lumière factory in Lyon. It was 46 seconds long, and they shot it only three days before its big premiere. They shot three versions, all pretty much the same: a man opens the big wooden gates of the factory, and a crowd pours out. The workers are mostly women in long dresses, aprons, and big hats, and there's a large dog running to and fro, barking. Sometimes there is a horse, or two horses, pulling a big dray, and that's how the different films are distinguished from one another: the one-horse, the two-horse, or the no-horse version.

The private screening was held at a conference of the Society for the Development of the National Industry. About 200 people attended, including Léon Gaumont, director of a prestigious photographic supply company who would go on to become a movie pioneer in his own right. The purpose of the conference was to discuss the latest industry developments, and the Lumière brothers were there to present advances they had made in color photography. To the Lumières' great surprise, however, the audience was much more interested in the moving black-and-white images than they were in any color photographs. Word spread rapidly, and they held more screenings and shot more short films, which they debuted before a paying public audience for the first time the following December. But despite all the buzz around their short films, the Lumières viewed motion pictures as nothing more than a fad. They said, "The cinema is an invention without any future."

It was on this day in 1895 that Auguste and Louis Lumière opened the first movie theater at the Grand Café in Paris. Other inventors, including Thomas Edison, were working on various moving picture devices at the time. But most of those other devices could only be viewed by one person at a time. The Lumières were the first to project moving pictures on a screen, so that they could be viewed by a large audience.
