and they will surely fade out in popularity. I mean, really, who wants to sit and listen to other people talk all the way through a movie? (go to 35:40 for the chase.)

I know, right? It's getting ridiculous.

I like to think that prior to The Jazz Singer, the whole world was silent.

Written word is a lost art. The talkies must be stopped.
