You have to look really hard, past the dreadfulness
Didn't it have a spinoff with the woman with the short blonde hair?
Wash: You want a slinky dress? I can buy you a slinky dress. Captain, can I have money for a slinky dress? Jayne: I'll chip in. Zoe: I can hurt you.

The part of the alleged second movie that I love best is McCloud and Ramierez waking up in the infirmary and counting bullet holes. It's a scene of joy for me and I'd probably rent a copy, burn off just that bit, and return the rest of teh movie unwatched.

The spinoff featured Amanda, who was a thief and who had been involved with McLeod on and off again in the original series. I'm not actually sure what the spin off was about since I never saw it. But she and a cop started fighting crime (I think).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yep. They were like wood.

Also, how can there be a sequel after that? THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.
Trust me, you'll be much happier not finding out the answer for yourself.

Up review: Dillo was mostly kept quiet by M&Ms but had to sit on my lap because the stupid cinema chairs folded up on him, and he managed to pop the lenses out of two pairs of 3D glasses so I watched much of the film with one eye. Casper was scared at the scary parts (despite being scared of real-life dogs, Dillo was not) and she whimpered loudly. I have had more fun at the movies.
I liked it, myself, despite the unhappy viewing experience, but why the heck bother with the 3D? Watching with glasses on is annoying, and it didn't add that much. I assume the DVD will be regular?

My impression is that it was not originally intended to be 3D, but that Disney mandated it because 3D is The New Thing These Days.
DH and I saw it for the second time last night (in-laws in town = DATE NIGHT!) and the little boy behind us kept asking his dad if he could take the glasses off.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So for those of us who have to wear 3-D glasses on top of normal glasses, is there actually any reason to see it in 3-D?

None at all, though you may miss out on seeing the very mediocre short (which is also 3D and possibly missing from the 2D prints).
