Burn Notice filming locations and landmarks?
I would recommend the Fountainbleau which not only hosts the stars but is the site of many other classic films. It's at Miami Beach. You can also go to Biscayne Blvd. near the Rickenbacker Causeway. http://www.southfloridafilminglocations.... I've watched Burn Notice since it started until about a year ago. I really enjoyed that series until Michael's younger brother Nate was killed by the sniper. That was harsh. I watched all the other seasons though. One of my favorite scenes was when Michael dives off the chopper into Biscayne Bay and swims miles to shore. As an engineer who works with computer programmers a lot one of my favorite episodes was with the mathematician who was really eccentric but brilliant and actually found Michael Weston and exposed cyberterrorism. But they thought he was crazy because he kept rambling about "Aliens." I could name many others. I hope you enjoy your trip. That 1st episode when those drunk college girls on spring break try to enter his motel reminds me of Tallahassee - lol. I stopped watching when Nate died though. That guy reminds me of a basketball friend from Hollywood, FL. So I lost interest.
Why don't film theaters show TV shows?
I agree with Jon Lawrence's answer, but would add some technical spec stuff, all of which would also cost money to accomplish:Aspect ratio. Movie screens and TV screens are different shapes, and therefore TV shows would have to be edited into the correct aspect ratio in order to look right on a movie screen. (That's why you always have that pesky notice about "this film has been modified to fit your screen" on DVD's and TV viewings of movies. It's an aspect ratio thing that is true whether you convert from movies to TV or vice versa.) As a side note, it's a big pet peeve of mine these days when TV commercials are played in theaters, without any adjustment to aspect ratio.Resolution. If you're talking about older TV shows, they weren't generally shot in a resolution that is appropriate for a much bigger screen. Nowadays most of what you see across both platforms is shot in HD...so this would mostly be an issue with older shows.Different broadcast standards. If you're producing a video for TV, you have to make sure that your whites don't burn out your audio, and that your reds don't bleed. I have not found either of these to be a problem when producing video intended for a movie screen.
Why can we see stars from Earth, but not from space? Every image I’ve seen that has been taken from space, there are no stars to be seen, just a black abyss. Why is that?
For being a scientist, probably self proclaimed....this is the worst answer ive ever seen on this app. To whom asked the question, please excuse this smart ass reply. -David Bowman 2001: A Space OdysseyMy, it’s full of stars!”— David Bowman (A C Clark: 2001, A space Odyssey)Since in “every picture [you] have seen that has been taken from space, there are no stars to be seen”, it follows that you have somehow not seen any of the many many pictures taken from space where stars are seen.For example: any picture from the Hubble Space Telescope.It is hard to believe you have not seen these, since they are very famous. However, it is possible that your internet searches for “pictures of stars from space” has not turned up anything.The reason not all pictures include stars is because of the way the camera is set up.Usually the photographer wants to take a picture of a nearby object that is quite brightly lit (ie by the Sun). This means they have to limit the amount of light the camera takes in … otherwise the foreground will be all washed out. This is called “over exposed”.However, getting a good shot of a bright foreground means that dim backgrounds like stars are not bright enough to register in the camera.You get the same thing with over-exposure on the Earth. If you look at a pic of, say, a skyscraper that is well lit … the stars will not be visible in the sky. You can try this with the camera on your phone.Since you have missed out, here is a photo taken from space that shows stars:Photos: Astronauts Capture, Tweet Constellations from Space Stationie.… see?
What can you do on a weekend getaway in Miami besides the beach?
In addition to the great museums, restaurants and high end shopping, we have one of the finest opera companies in the country, we have symphony, and other performing arts. We also have every kind of major sports team represented here; football, baseball, basketball, hockey and soccer. We have a spectacular zoological park. South Beach is kind of like Greenwich Village with a beach.Miami has grown into a World class metropolitan center, unique in America with fabulous architecture, incredible access to the Everglades, sports fishing and anything else you can think of. I hear at least a half dozen languages spoken every day. We have several outstanding universities that also offer art and sporting events. We have seasonal events like Art Basel, the Food and Wine Festival and the Coconut Grove Arts Festival. The Miami Beach Convention Center is under renovation, but will soon be one of the most modern and largest available. It already hosts dozens of trade shows.It’s really endless. My only suggestion is that if you want to attend the theater or some limited showing or concert, check for tickets ahead of time or see what’s playing during your stay here.I have lived here thirty years from a time when there were maybe 4 buildings over 25 stories to a skyline that rivals NYC or Chicago. The speed of change here has been remarkable. All that with a tumbling crime rate.
