Bernie,
The movie folks seem so visually oriented don't they? If they were to
really immerse the audience in a sound habitat the movie would come
alive in ways they don't even imagine. The more senses fully engaged,
the more the fantasy comes alive. Imagine surround aroma imaging! That
might be a bit into the future but they could upgrade their sounds in a
minute by accessing this great bunch of nature recordists.

Maybe, Rich. But what the movie folks who work in sound (like the
fellas and gals at Skywalker Sound such as Randy Thom) instinctively
know is that we tend to hear what we're looking at. It's axiomatic in
their work and pretty much in Western culture.
