[/quote] Why do you need 3-D for all these movies it seems? Hardly any of them (conversion job or not) are worth paying the extra few bucks for.

Bengals1181 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I've yet to see any 3-D that actually adds to the movie, in fact, I typically find it a distraction in the few times I've given it a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CincyInDC Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I watched Avatar in 3D in the theater then later on a 6" screen on an airplane. Yeah, without 3D that movie is a piece of crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it made a big difference to me as far as immersion and suspension of disbelief which aided my ability to connect with the world and the plight of it's inhabitants. When I watched it later it just seemed flat, both literally and figuratively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go Skins Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Saw "For a Good Time, Call...." last night (Ari Graynor (blonde from Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist) and Lauren Miller start) in which the ladies, the co-writer of the movie, and producer did a Q & A after. Nothing groundbreaking, but at least it is something different in terms of what Hollywood has put out recently. There are some laughs in there, and I was hoping it would push the MPAA envelope a little more, but not really. It comes out August 31st. Has anyone seen "Moonrise Kingdom"? This movie will get Oscar buzz without question. It has been in limited release for months and has done very well at the box office (40 million to date).

T-Dub Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Prometheus in 3d was the shit. There are a couple of scenes that I can't imagine being anywhere near as impressive without 3d. If you've seen it you can probably guess which ones. Also I may have caught a matinee, but I don't think it was any more expensive than the "regular" showing. Great Gatsby is a totally different story, obviously, and I can see how the 3D isn't really necessary. Then again, neither is color film as far as that goes.

Bengals1181 Posted August 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 This got made like 2 years ago but got pushed back because of controversy about China being the bad guy (its now North Korea). Ironically, its good for the film as many of the main cast are now big stars. [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW7TsZmFVTQ&feature=player_embedded#!"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW7TsZmFVTQ&feature=player_embedded#![/url] Looks like a really good re-make, other than Chris Hemsworth's American Accent (assuming he's American born in the film, which I would think he is).

BigDawgBengal Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Saw the Campaign tonight after the Bengals game. It had its funny moments but was not as good as I thought it would be. It was still a good movie but I just expected a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, It's even more implausible than the super weapon they supposedly do it with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
