Zoe ,'Heart Of Gold'
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.
I heard repeatedly that it's nicer in 2D because the picture is brighter and prettier.
We heard the same thing about Megamind. Of the reviews at Rotten Tomatoes (which I admittedly scanned), it seems like about 70% were anti-3D and 30% were pro-3D.
We're taking Tim's nieces and nephews to see Narnia tomorrow, so we needed to make the 3D-vs-2D decision. 2D it is.
Saw The King's Speech for the second time yesterday. Still wonderful.
Narnia wasn't shot in 3D so I wouldn't bother seeing it that way - I have yet to see any converted 3D movie that wasn't made muddy and out of focus by the process.
I saw Secretariat today. Because my sister-in-law persuaded all of her friends to see it, after she had already seen it 14 time, in the theatre, and read the book twice.
I thought it was ok. I think she's a little crazy.
Was the movie based on a particular book? I didn't know that.
Yes, but I don't know the name of it, unless it is called Secretariat, too.
In multiple-viewing news, I just watched Scott Pilgrim vs. the World for a third time, and I still love the crap out of it.
I just watched it and didn't like it nearly as much as I'd hoped.
Sumi, it's based on the book by William Nack, from the 1970s, I think. It's been reissued with the movie.
I just watched Celeste and Bam Bam and it was total silly fun.
