fair enough, but they didn't taken into account that audible spoken dialogue would be absolutely crucial to the modern movie experience for the past 90 years. and the amount of movies playing in theaters at any time of day meant there was no way live bands could cover all the screenings.

obviously that is a true statement, the live theater band gig is dead, but they didn't taken into account that as movies became more popular, the amount of movies playing in theaters at any time of day meant there was no way live bands could cover all the screenings. they also didn't realize that audible spoken dialogue would be absolutely crucial to the modern movie experience (for the past ~95 years). recorded sound was inevitable in the evolution of movies as pop culture.
