You're welcome. And yeah, most books and websites *will* say that because in a way, they are. This was MY take on things because I think there SHOULD be a difference between the two. So I wouldn't be surprised if someone else would disagree with me on it. But it's my own way of differentiating between them, because it's my blog and I can do what I want. Ha! I kind of made up "full shot" too. :) I just want to warn you that if you label them as such, someone else still may tell you they are the same thing. That's why I called the widest one "extreme". So be prepared. But I'm really glad this helped! K Hi Fatima! You’re welcome.

Now I know the difference between wide shots and long shots! Every other web site I came across told me they were the same thing. THANK YOU!

All that will be left in the world is cockroaches and Twinkies! Lucky cockroaches. Cool that you've been to drive-ins too! They were a little more scarce in Canada (but we have/had them). My family would go to Vermont every summer and go to the drive-in. I saw quite a few movies at that one. Lots of summer memories. :) It's a shame some kids are watching great movies for the first time on an iPod for goodness sakes! *sigh* K That’s why they chose Twinkies.

That alone brings mroe joy to my day laughing at that little joke. Those who laugh last, thinks slowest. Anyway, I miss drive-ins too, and I am definately not an old fogie. I probably should be because of my taste of movies and music, but still... The only movies I can remember seeing drive-in-style: Beauty and the Beast and Men in Black (while trying to sneak a peek of Face/Off which was playing behind us). Good times indeed.

(I actually saw it last summer at a Drive-In Movie..one of the few remaining ones left in the area...a throw-back to the 1950's.). That's how movies SHOULD be seen.

I love this kind of stuff. And the fact that you haven't thought of it before is a *good* thing. When I watched it the first time, this wasn't where my head was. I was just enjoying it and thinking just how they were doing everything so right. I was looking forward to looking back on it to see why it was so right. As far as the cockroach, I think he's eating the filling and sleeping in there. They probably throw away the Twinkie part when it's done. I mean the filling is the best part! (And Twinkies are the only food that would last 700 years). :) @ Friar - Oh, you are *such* a tortured intellectual, aren't you? Always spraining that wonderful brain of yours... :D K @ T – Glad you’re liking them! I love this kind of stuff. And the fact that you haven’t thought of it before is a *good* thing.

But you still knew what was going on. Because the dialogue was in the long-shots. It's like these scenes played the part of the 'Actors", communicating to the audience without using any words. (Ohh...now doesn't that sound DEEP...!?) I'll be quiet now, because I've just sprained my brain and can't think of anything else intelligent to say. ;-) I like the way the first part of the movie had no dialogue.
