I thought it was stupid, too, but feeling like you were in those environments was fun. The rest, meh.

Well - I love seeing Sigourney in just about anything, so that was nice too.

It was pretty. But it totally was Dances With Wolves +Smurfs+ Little Big Man. I was shocked at how little I cared about anyone in it. Especially as several people pitched the gimp angle pretty heavily(although I don't know why...Jake hardly broke a sweat in the whole flick.) But usually, snark aside, I'm a pretty cheap date, emotional-engagement-wise, and that one was like watching a travel poster.

I have no idea why I can't see in 3D, but there's no difference to me between watching a movie in 2D and watching one in 3D, except the 3D's darker.

They both look 3D to me, in a way. I guess my brain provides the depth of field illusion.

I haven't seen any 3d movies, because there hasn't been one I had any interest in. I suspect I have enough eye issues that I shouldn't, anyway. I dunno, I genuinely don't understand what the point is.

I can see implementing 3d in some video games, where feeling that you're part of the action is more important. In a movie, if the story doesn't capture me, I don't think playing magic eye games is going to make a difference.

I just ran across this the other day -- it's from last year, but it gives a good summary of the eyestrain issues. [link]

With the Avatar comments, maybe I should describe part of my dream last night. It took place in a future multiplex where every theater was showing the same movie: "Dances with Smurfahontas II: The Squeakquel".

Subtle, subconcious, subtle.

Fans unleash epic hate for The Last Airbender.

I just watched Drag Me to Hell, and I'm a little surprised at all the glowing reviews. I liked it, but I couldn't really tell whether it was supposed to be funny. I mean, there's an evil handkerchief. And it was overly gross at times. I think that's Raimi's thing, though. That and warning us never to piss off a gypsy.

Even with the bit with the cat?

I think the reviews were slightly out of proportion, but it was well-done fun, and I think sometimes critics are like, "Hey, I saw something that was genuinely fun! Hooray!"

(I've probably mentioned, but the gypsy is a friend's aunt.)

Even with the bit with the cat?

That was clearly some morbid humor, but there was, well, the evil handkerchief, and all the blood coming out of orifices and eyeballs and a lot of the seance scene, where I was like, really? I mean, he had to intend the talking goat to be silly, but I could never quite tell how seriously I was supposed to take everything, since most of the movie is pretty serious. It was just these random moments that confused me.

Yeah, I'll agree with that.

I didn't know that!

Okay, I just watched the trailer for Let Me In, and it's pretty badass. It reminds me of the various things I DID like about the original in between all the boring parts. And the very last bit is a nice touch for those who've seen the original. Hell, watching this trailer makes me want to watch the original again and give it another chance.
