'Hell Bound'
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.
OK, the 3-D was OK, but not really worth the extra cost for me.
The 3-D preview of Spiderman was awful for me--there were many scenes where my eyes and brain couldn't resolve what I was seeing into a 3-D image so they just gave up, which was irritating. I won't be seeing that movie in 3-D.
I had the same problem, tommyrot. Definitely won't be seeing that in 3-D, either.
Holy crap, it's earning money so fast Hollywood accountants may not be able to disguise the fact that it's turned a profit!
I want to see an edited version of that awesome scene where Thor strafes the incoming armada with lightning so that the sinking Titanic and flying dragons from Avatar are amongst the forces getting blown up.
I saw it in 3D... and I have to say, it was one of the cleanest post-conversions I've experienced, very crystal-clear focus and subtle use of the depth except for the occasional arrow or whatnot.
It also gave me one HELL of a profound headache. Which I'm going to keep in mind the next time I'm tempted to go to a long 3D movie.
Other than that... I had a wonderful time. Liked all the characters -- really liked Mark Ruffalo and his scenes with RDJ. Samuel Jackson good as ever.
Also loved that Hawkeye got to be more than the guy with trick arrows.
Matt,
you are cracking me up.

Oh hey, I wonder if that was an additional trigger to losing yesterday to one of the worst migraines I've had in a while. Because while the IMAX 3D was impressive, I could occasionally feel my eyes straining.
Joss just entered the big leagues in a HUGE way. I hope that works out OK.
I do like that he already has MUCH ADO in the pipeline, though. It will definitely make for an interesting contrast.

He thought he was busy doing Firefly, Buffy and Angel at the same time.
Now he's got The Avengers, Much Ado About Nothing and Cabin in the Woods all in the same year.
Skipping to the end to point at my resurrected tagline.
Now to go back and read all the Avengers whitefont.

'Cept Cabin in the Woods was completed years ago.
