earthquake (or lack there of)

Neither of the parental figures i asked has seen the movie "Earthquake." I tried to describe it to them, but they didn't know what I was talking about. Appearently they didn't go to movies when they were younger. However, I would imagine that seeing a movie so devestational like that back in the day would be terrifying. Especially with the brand new surround sound and how loud and realistic it was. I'm sure the people who lived in and saw it in L.A. where it was set were likely horrified and incontinent. Isn't it impessive how new technologies may be scary to the public at first but are soon integrated into every day life and become something we expect.
