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.

Or In The Loop, which has some of the most amazing insults ever commited to film.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't seen In The Loop, but there were a couple I swore were from it--it had the guy from Children of Earth, right?

I just rewatched it and you're right. I entirely failed to notice the first time through. Possibly because I was pretending to work while watching it...

Thank you! I was trying to remember what that was called.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

So damn funny. Although I think Entourage has some of the best filmed insults ever. I can't decide if it's that they are well-written or that it is fun to watch Piven get that pissed.

Ooooh, very nice work on the Harry Potter poster.

I didn't realize it was going to be 3D. Why does everything have to be 3D these days?

Compassionately intolerant

I'm beginning to feel as if I need to mount some pr campaign on this subject. I can't see in 3D. It is neurologically impossible for me. Attempting to do so results in severe headache and nausea.

If the future lies in every freaking movie being in 3D, I'll never set foot in a theater again.

I just don't get it.

Sincere question to the dimensionally capable amongst us...does seeing a movie in 3D really add so much to the viewing experience that you would NOT see the same movie in 2D?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

does seeing a movie in 3D really add so much to the viewing experience that you would NOT see the same movie in 2D?

No. The most amazing 3D movie I've seen might be Coraline, and watching it in 2D is fine.

Although I've lost most of my depth perception, so no doubt I'm missing much 3D movie awesomeness....

tommyrot is right. Both in that Coraline was one of the best 3D movies out there, and that it didn't lose anything when being viewed in 2D.

I am so tired of movies being slapped with 3D effects. But it looks like studios are still releasing both 2D and 3D versions of new movies.
