Smell-o-vision

Apparently, there's a lot of buzz over synchronized smell-o-vision with the new Colin Farrell movie

A theater audience in Japan will be sniffing their noses - literally - at a new Hollywood adventure film when it opens here later this month.

A new service from a major telecommunications company, NTT Communications Corp., will synchronize seven different smells to parts of ''The New World,'' starring Colin Farrell.

I don't know what the big deal is. I was at a Cheech & Chong film festival the other week and they had smell-o-vision working perfectly with all of the movies they showed.

Now that I think of it, maybe there was buzz going on with those films, too.
