proof that a picture is equal to 1.24 words instead of the oft quoted 1,000.

minutes in gone with the wind: 238 (restored length)
movie frames per sec in 35mm film (24) = 1,440 frames per minute
#minutes x frames per minute = total images in the movie: 342,720

number of words in the book = 423,575 (according to amazon)
