It's such a shame that the factory has finished production, hopefully it can be saved.

Looked like an Apple commercial at the end. Very nontraditional trailer—no clips from the movie. I wonder if they just haven't gotten around to shooting any footage yet.

I have distinct memories of grandfather keeping an eye on his wristwatch, counting the seconds until it was safe to peel off the black plastic layer hiding the photograph. And I also remember shaking Polaroids "like a Polaroid picture." So evocative.

I look forward to it. I know of a company that has moved into one of the old Polardoid factories and is now using the very same equipment to make flexible solar panels. Rather poetic. Both products using light in very different ways. Wonderful! I look forward to it.
