(It occurs to me when the showrunner says Castiel is millions of years old, I cheer, because that's what I've always thought--but it's grey canon too--just completely unaddressed on the show, and people keep assuming 2K years for characterisation choices I think are completely unnecessary. So I guess it depends on what your preference was beforehand, or how much it snaps into place for you when you hear it. But I wouldn't try and win an argument with it, other than to say "the writers think of him that way, and nothing on the show contradicts it)
(If it had been an action taken that was later untaken after the film stopped rolling, that's a bit different. That lives in the headcanon world. Dean is doing things to Castiel
right now
that might not turn out to actually happen by the start of the next season, or ever)
I will go search for the site I found that questioned whether you should see any given 3D version of new movies.
We are going to 2D. 3D always gives DH a headache. And we are going to the Arclight, which means we chose our seats when we bought our tix online and can stroll in right before the movie starts which is totally worth a higher price. Lines? We don't need no stinking lines.
The last movie I saw in 3D was
Coraline,
because I didn't have a choice at the time. There was a horrible acrid smell in the theater, which turned out to be from a fire in the TGI Friday's on the lower level of the mall, and we all got free tickets when we walked out (it was really that bad).
So I had a horrible headache from the smell, and then went home and started puking (which turned out to be a stomach bug, and unrelated to the smell, since Sara was fine), but my last association with a 3D movie is pretty bad. The thought of another one makes me run screaming.
I think I'm going to 3D Conan for sure, as long as it's not an upconversion.
To 3D or not to 3D HP7 II.
Oof, well, I'm seeing it in 3D, but it's free!
I'd go with digital projection and skip the 3D.
We've been having a problem with some of the big chain Boston theaters not changing the 3D projector lenses to show 2D digital movies, which means you get all the underlighting of a 3D film without the 3D effect. There have been several outraged articles in the Globe about this, given how expensive even 2D movies are, but I think the chains are crying all the way to the bank about it.
If you can see it in 2D digital at cinema you trust to do the due diligence on the projection, that would be the way to go, though.
eh, before 3D, projectionists would forget to change the lens between Scope & Flat. It's just hard for everyone to be perfect all the time.

It's not forgetfulness, Laga. It's intentional. They just don't care.
Just came back from seeing HP7.2 and the choices the filmmakers made
did not dissuade me from the Neville/Luna tinfoil shipper path *at all*. Actually, I think there were right there with me. Also, how fucking awesome was Neville? THIIIIIIIS AWESOME.
I cried a lot. Well, no surprise there.
