Get it Right : Steven Soderbergh


These two news items caught my eye on the Imdb website this morning. Both highlight the rather cavalier attitude of big organisations and institutions to how we watch our movies and how they are presented. It is good to see to of Hollywood's top directors prepared to speak out.
I thought it was worth providing links to these pieces here.
