(Oct 19) It would have been easier to enjoy this place if I hadn’t felt mislead about the Breaking Bad “exhibit” (more like a narrow closet, literally), which quite possibly didn’t contain anything actually used on Breaking Bad. Most of the items I saw were obviously “re-creations” of items used on the show, of generally poor quality. I wonder if that’s why no photos were allowed of this material. There’s plenty of blame to go around. AMC/Sony for the fraud, and the museum for being a party to it. It left a very bad taste in my mouth, which is a shame, since in retrospect, the rest of the museum wasn’t bad. The security staff were unfriendly and in the way, but the rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Due to the crappy faux Breaking Bad thing and the obtrusive security staff, I give the Museum of the Moving Image a “Meh” rating, which seems like a shame.

Movies existed before sound.
But if moving film strips rapidly was the innovation that created ‘films’ out of photography
