IN 3D!!!
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

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.

The big party in SAY ANYTHING. Because I know those people would be looking out for me. Plus - "Joe Lies".

The Thor trailer is super cool...but this comment cracked me up:
I like to watch this and imagine it's the Michael Bay version of Dirk Gently's Dark Teatime of the Soul.
I would pay money to see that movie.
Also, "In 2D in select theaters"? Like that's a feature? Woe to us of the two dimensions.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Right, bonny? I wanted to punch that phrase in the face.

I'm glad it's not just me. I seriously had an irrational flash right then. Not rage, exactly, but a giant surge of FrakYOU.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I prefer 2D

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why are you smallfonting?

That's my point, Laga. I can't actually see 3D and am plagued by what feels like the coming lack of choice between not seeing anything in the theatre and having a raging headache.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
3D is great for stuff like Coraline, but Monsters vs. Aliens would have been just as good in 2D and I've heard the after-the-fact 3D process actually made Clash of the Titans more of a crapfest than it would have been otherwise.

That's the other thing.
The application of 3D technology seems completely divorced from its service to the material. Pretty soon, they'll be remaking Jane Austen movies in 3D. "See the parasols coming right AT YOU!!"
Feh.
