For the "cubicle workers of the world" who'd love to have a movie playing at their desks but don't wanna get caught goofing off on the job (or those who just love listening to their favorite movies like music) here's a great free website that features streamable movie audio only. It may sound kooky to some, but here's the thing... In the best cases, it almost converts our favorite films (as well as some DVD commentaries) into something like old-time radio shows, where your imagination has to do the work. It both challenges one to remember how a film might be shot and could potentially challenge one to internally re-frame the set design, the imagery and see what they can come up with themselves, in their own minds. AND...such an experience really can show what the power of cinema can do even when it's devoid of the image, itself - in that the music, performances and well-written dialogue can still manage to convey the same feel divorced from the nature of vision.
I don't know how long this will stay up. I tried asking but haven't gotten an answer yet, so if this goes, then I'm sorry, mods. I had no idea.
