A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
We saw the last Harry Potter on IMAX. So much more detail was visible - it was very interesting.
I did too, and I thought it worked great, except for the scene between Harry and Lupin on the bridge. They were so far apart that it became a scene about the bridgpost in the middle of the screen.
I saw RotK on IMAX and it was very happymaking.

Yeah, the actor playing the post was really wooden.
I saw Beauty and the Beast on IMAX. Which was awesome. You really felt like you were in a castle.
Backstage at the Academys:
One of the more unexpected backstage comments: honoree Sidney Lumet, who has worked with the greatest actors of five decades, was asked about the star of his next picture, Vin Diesel.
"One of the finest actors I have ever worked with," he said. "In acting, you get to the job any way you can. He was typed as a muscleman, and he had success at that, but take my word for it, you will be amazed at the work he does."

Considering (IIRC) his father taught drama, I'm not surprised.

Sydney Lumet is validating my Vin love.

Pfft. Sydney Lumet is releasing a movie soon.
Not that I don't think Vin is good, but this...
""One of the finest actors I have ever worked with," he said.
...is pure 100% Hollywood cock-sucking.

It might be that good of a cock.
IJS.
wrod. "Trouper" could totally buy. "Surprising comic timing"...for instance.(I don't know what kind of movie this is.) But Lumet's been around a long time...in the "cinematic fellatio" corner with Hecubus. I'm surprised I can still say anything.
