13 Photographs That Changed The World

Neatorama's 13 Photographs That Changed The World.

PURE ENERGY: The death and life of the beloved Laserium. (LAWeekly) When I was in uni my friends and I once in a while partook of the marvel that was "Laser Floyd", "Laser Beatles" and Laser Zeppelin" at the McLaughlin Planetarium, next to the Royal Ontario Museum. The Planetarium is closed but the domed building remains, tantilizingly daring someone to come along and rescue it. The granddaddy of laseriums (planetarium+laser light show=laserium) was the Griffith Observatory in L.A.. It has re-opened but without its Laserium... Apparently it was the last to go. Sigh... Such good times. Sitting in those wayback chairs, baked out of our skulls [high on life, surely!] watching the pretty beams dance across the domed ceiling while trippy music played. It was the ultimate in non-violent entertainment.

This is awesome - all three original Star Wars movies cut together as a silent film.
