Media Access Group at WGBH Every so often I am privileged to describe scenes that just take my breath away. So it is with an upcoming Nature episode called "Wild Balkans": Thousands of swarming starlings form changing patterns in the sky. Think starbursts and ocean waves. Wow! - Jan (Describer)

Media Access Group at WGBH As we anticipate James Cameron's Avatar, we're reminded of the week 12 years ago when MoPix was new and installed in only one theater. We wondered how Titanic would open that Friday... would it be popular? How accessible filmgoing has grown-- this is our 751st MoPix title, we're in 370 theaters, including 3D auditoriu...ms. It's a joy for us to work on these movies, we hope you enjoy lots of movies this holiday season!
