  Great Exhibition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Great Exhibition, also known as the Crystal Palace Exhibition, was an international exhibition held in Hyde Park London, from 1 May to 15 October 1851 and the first in a series of World's Fair exhibitions of culture and industry that were to be a popular 19th century feature.
The Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations was organised by Prince Albert and Henry Cole as a celebration of modern industrial technology and design.
The Great Exhibition made a surplus of £186,000 which was used to found the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum which were all built in the area to the south of the exhibition, nicknamed "Albertopolis", alongside the Imperial Institute.

 Frailty Review/Modamag.com
Paxton allows the audience to imagine the horror rather than piling on the gore elemental to such a brutal story.
Paxton gets great mileage out of this concept, as the audience is kept in the same realm of knowledge as the young Fenton.
Paxton takes considerable strides to involve the audience in on the fear, and for the first time in a long while, he’s made a horror/thriller film that will disturb you, not just assault you.

 Rotten Tomatoes Forums - RATE: Frailty (2001)
Bill Paxton's incredibly smart directorial debut sees him as a father of two children who receives a message one night from an 'angel', warning him that demons (who are disguised as everyday people) are going to be the cause of an apocolypse.
Though it has great atmosphere, it's ending is not as smart as it thinks it is, and pulls the rug out from the film.
Paxton's film is about a man who is instructed by God to slay demons, he does just that.

A 200-metre borehole, sunk in 1970 across the river in Great Paxton, has enabled geologists to better understand the last 480 million years of local 'history'.
We know this because marine fossils were found in the Paxton borehole, including trilobites (which browsed on seaweed) and brachiopods (like mussels, which fed on tiny floating life forms).
The Paxton area contained low-lying deltas and coastal mudflats, with abundant tropical marine life: sea-urchins, brachiopods and a lobster's leg have been found.

Between the A1 and the River Great Ouse, to the east, the flat land is pitted with 70 years worth of gravel workings forming extensive lakes.
Great Paxton is older, possibly founded by Saxons coming up the river Ouse rather early on in the 6th century, but on the wrong side of the river to take advantage of the Great North Road in later times.
It is one of those villages that the Great North Road never actually went through, lying down a lane that led away to the east of the main road.

 Rotten Tomatoes Forums - I just watched Frailty (2002) and I'm torn. Any thoughts?
I assume it was Bill Paxton's directorial debut and I felt like it showed in a few of his shot selections.
If Paxton just wanted to show that, yes, some people are willing to kill for their faith (a message that our society today should be aware of) then he could have accomplished it without the last 15 minutes of the film.
Frailty is great to watch the first time as you watch the story unfold but on second viewing I just didn't have much fun.

Whilst it is good to see Great Britain XI entertain the crowd with such high quality football and a feat of goals, it has to be borne in mind that Great Paxton did not field their strongest side for they had already played two matches over the same weekend.
