Dawn ,'Selfless'
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 Avatar director’s company, the Cameron Pace Group, hopes to change things with a new line of cameras that broadcast both 2-D and 3-D signals and can be operated by a single person.
By "broadcast" I assume they mean "record."
The standard way to do 2D and 3D at the same time is to simply broadcast one "eye" of the 3D camera and call that the 2D version. Sports broadcasters have been doing it for years.

Yeah, I was wondering about that.
I am SKIPPING to say I have just purchased my first IMAX tix for Avengers tomorrow at 4:30 CST.
ASSEMBLE!!!!!!
(We would have gone last night or tonight, but D gets up at 3 am, so he kinda wants to be awake and screamin' through the whole show.)
And I'm outtie this thread until tomorrow evening.
Willpower: I CAN HAZ IT?!
Um, YIKES.
Have you seen the trailer for this new movie called "Hick" starring Chloe Moretz? [link]
I think it's trying to be Tarantino-esque? Edgy and provocative? But mostly I feel grossed out and in need of a shower.
Yeah, I saw the trailer for that last week and was...very confused as to what I was supposed to get out of it.
If I want to see that movie I can open a window and look outside.
Date for tonight has been postponed due to surprise final (what kind of professor decides to go out of town during finals week and neglects to tell their class about the schedule change?), but I'm going ahead and seeing the movie alone the first time. I know the crowd that will be attending Free Comic Book Day at the comics shop tomorrow, and odds of everyone there being able to shut up about plot points are nil.
Well, that might be good, so you don't have to worry about focusing on the movie during your date!
Oh this guy's at least as big a comics fan as I am, so we both would have been spellbound through the movie and spent the first hour or so afterwards geeking out about it. Likely that's how the date will end up going when we do manage to get together.
I went to Thor because I wanted to see what Branagh did with the superhero genre. I enjoyed it. I felt Loki had some legitimate gripes about not being told he had giant blood, but naturally his coping methods suck. Thor was a brat who deserved getting banished, and I loved the look on his face when he fought his way in to his hammer and then couldn't pick it up.
And Freya kicked ass. As did Lady Sif.
As did Lady Sif.
I feel like the actress who played Sif could easily play Wonder Woman. I'd like to see it.
