As i’ve said, this experiment is based on the blogging phenomena of the past, roughly 300 years ago at it’s height, and I wanted to occassionaly post about things that happen exactly 300 years ago. So, on this day, September 27, the actor Paul Newman died 300 years ago. I honestly don’t know much about entertainment of the past. Some of my friends love watching old style movies from that day, and sure some are really interesting. But honestly, why sit and watch something when I can hop into some vNet, not the vNet, and do whatever is in those movies yourself.

But back then they couldn’t. They watched full length feature films. And one of the best was Paul Newman.
