'Safe'
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.
That *was* the last time I noticed it, and it made me sickSICKsick. Completely horrible. Ugh.
Yeah, I had to lie down for a couple hours after that movie, but then again I was forced to sit in the front row.
But that's why I've only ever seen the 3rd one on the laptop.
It doesn't really make me sick, it makes me a little dizzy and headachey. Mostly I just shut my eyes or look away until I think a scene is over. I didn't see the last two-thirds of the tracker jacker scene for that reason.
I found Hunger Games to be much less nauseating when I was sitting halfway up the stadium seats than when I was in the first few rows.
Yeah, I never sit in the first few rows anymore--either I get there early or I'm seeing a movie that's been out for a while.
I wound up in the front row for the original Hitcher, and was high as a kite, too. Good times.
Due to my (so-called) friends, I've fallen out of the habit of sitting in front of the walkway across the theatre. But I used to like being that close, and my eyes could deal. I currently love sitting on the first row back-not the one that's in the walkway, but the one where you can put your feet up, if you pick the right seat, on the metal bar in front of the usually empty space where a wheelchair-using patron would be sitting.
Huh. ita ! is me.
I don't like the shaky-cam, both because it makes me feel a little sick AND I think it's lazy film-making. Used sporadically, I don't hate it, but relying on it is a huge mistake.
Not enough of one to make me dislike the movie, or really any movie that uses it, but enough of one to make me harumph with gusto.
Shaky-cam doesn't bother me except in an aesthetic sense, but then again I can normally handle being slung about like a sack of potatoes on a roller coaster without discomfort (the exception being when I combined being barely recovered from food poisoning with a big lunch and riding the Mission to Mars flight simulator at Epcot shortly after eating - not a wisely chosen pairing of activities).
IO9 has a piece at the [link] that discusses the muttation design, including some discarded concept art that's supposed to look like the fallen tributes (although I totally fail to see how--and maybe that's part of the reason for the omission). Apparently not everyone knew they were going to take the tack they did.
