Most of the time when you view a movie at a theatre you are probably listening to it on a Dolby Digital Cinema system. On this website you can gain the information needed in order to turn your own television into a home theatre.

I couldn’t believe it when I read on this website that Star Wars: Attack of the Clones grossed 310,676,740 in the U.S. and 338,721,588 overseas. Other information available: plot elements, plot summary, cast, where it was filmed, trivia, errors and deleted scenes.

Heidi, the resource on Dolby Digital was a creative choice! I did not even think of digital technology in terms of home theatre. Special effects are best appreciated in a theatre environment, and your resource describes the components needed to attain this in the home. These upgrades require some serious cash, though. It is a good thing I do not have that kind of money; otherwise, I am afraid I would do little else but watch films.
The success of Star Wars: Attack of the Clones (2002) is phenomenal, but the resource states The Phantom Menace grossed even more. Because there is a Star Wars fan base that has grown over a long period of time, George Lucas can count on the fact that these people will always pay to see another Star Wars film. The section of the resource that grabbed my attention was about a book that was written based on the movie, which seems backwards to the more acceptable practice of basing a movie on a book. Very interesting! The errors and trivia were fun to read about, and gave me more insight to the film.
I learned from both of your resources and thank you for sharing them. One tip: remember to cite your resources in MLA format. Every time I do it, I reference a site Shelley recommends: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/research/r_mla.html. There is an entire section on citing electronic resources. There are always some grey areas depending on the Web site, but if you get stuck, email Shelley and she will help you.
