"A newbie actually search for something as opposed to merely assuming that a board this old hasn't already touched upon such a par-for-the-course topic as Steven Spielberg? Never!" -A quote from a fellow forum member-
Okay lets hear about all those films that dare dive into the subject of floor carpeting.
First lets explore the subject:
car·pet Pronunciation (kärpt) n.
A thick heavy covering for a floor, usually made of woven wool or synthetic fibers; a rug.
The fabric used for this floor covering.
A surface or surface covering that is similar to a rug: a carpet of leaves and pine needles on the forest floor.
Carpets and area rugs are key decorative and functional elements in a home or business.
Quality installation is critical to the performance of your carpet and will protect your indoor air quality.
New, thicker carpet may prevent doors from swinging clear and free. The installer will remove the doors and re-hang them if possible. If the doors do not clear, arrange to have them trimmed. It is your responsibility to provide an adequate supply of fresh air during installation. Open windows and doors, use an exhaust fan, or operate the fan of your heating or air conditioning system.
In the months following installation, you may notice these characteristics:
SHEDDING—the shedding of loose fibers is normal and should subside with regular vacuuming.
SPROUTING—if a single tuft extends beyond the carpet’s surface, simply clip it off. Do not pull it out.
PILE REVERSAL OR SHADING—a color change that seems to occur in various parts of the carpet, caused by light being reflected in different ways, as pile fibers are bend in different directions. This is not a defect but a characteristic of plush carpet.
WRINKLING—if ripples persist, call your retailer. It may be necessary to professionally re-stretch the carpet.
I would go on and on , the sky is the limit here for excitement and entertainment. I mean I did a search for floor carpeting and BAM!!!! nothing. I figured this was an original thread so it must be a good one.
Now to the part you have been waiting for: discussing the role (heh pun intended) of carpets in films. Well alot of movies portray carpets as a great way to hide and transport a dead body. They are also a wonderul asset to CSI personel because hair, body fluids, etc... can be found in the tiny fibers easily.
Well if I go on I will wet myself from the excitement, I must stop for now so I can save thoughts for my next thread: The Basics of Floor Carpeting II: The search for Dirt.
Until next time.
