Hey, did you know there was a pandemic recently, too?

What else have you not noticed in the last decade?

Titanic 3D 4K was great. I've watched that film thousand times but when I watch it in IMAX in 3D 4K, I saw some small details that I've never seen in previous watch.

Technically had funimation too, but they merged it with crunchy.

Post-conversion 3D where there weren't lidar maps made during filming is gimmicky.

Even Avatar 2 wasn't shot in real 3D, for the most part. (Of course, given it was mocaped and rendered.)

Live-shot 3D kind of sucks because you don't end up with enough data to do compositing correctly, and you can easily shoot things that end up with uncomfortable artifacts for the viewer that you can't fix after the fact.

I like to think angels look and act like the Bonewheel Skeletons from Dark Souls. It's not a movie, and they're skeletons, but SPINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Titanic's conversion is equally as good. Of course, James Cameron spent the better part of a year individually reviewing every frame of it, which is a little nutty. But the results were spectacular.

I got the clip-on 3D glasses last time I was at the movies, beats having to wear two sets glasses at once. I could just wear contact lenses I guess, but my eyes get tired very quickly when I wear those. Not too optimal for movie viewing.

Nobody likes 3D movies except people who have only seen 1 or 2 of them. After that people realize that it’s just a way for the theatre to charge you more money for an experience that’s actually worse. Sure you get some objects coming at you but what it really does is reduce how much of the movie you can really see. The background gets less attention and “fuzzier” and you can only see the full detail on whatever central character or thing is the focus of the scene. You get less of the movie. On top of that, the 3D glasses are often uncomfortable and make some people feel sick (I’ve never had that).

I watched avatar 2 recently in 3D and that’s one of the better ones. They put more effort in making the 3D a part of that movie than most but it still not worth it. I left the theatre wishing I watched it on normal IMAX rather than 3D IMAX.

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE FEARLESS HERO!

WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE FEARLESS HE-RO!!!

I think they use to have live tv streaming.

I hate it with a passion, with Avatar being the only exception because it was so incredibly done.

After Avatar there were so many half-assed post-production 3D movies hitting the market that I got pissed about:

1. Having to wear special glasses
2. Effects that did not enhance the movie at all
3. Gimmicky shots of things flying towards the camera
4. Having to pay more to see a movie because the only showing is 3D with increased tickets. I love paying more for a less enjoyable experience.

Oh I don't imagine it would make the film better for you but, based on the negative points you made, it seems like you missed a lot of the actual movie or just didn't pay attention well. C'est la vie.

HBOMax always looked like it was saving money but now they're blatantly giving up

last 1 i saw gave me a headache

They do.

It’s called Bravia Core and only on their selected TV’s.

Pretty sure it’s practically a trial run though as you get a 24 month free trial with the TV but no way to contour once it expires

If they got into it 5-6 years ago you might be right. I think it's too late now. Nobody wants another streaming service at this point.

How quickly so many forget about the legendary service that was PlayStation Vue

I also think Scorsese used it effectively in HUGO.

That's a good question actually, they could have gone with a similar strategy as Apple did (gifting months to people to use their hardware, either camaras, consoles or tv/phones) and they actually have a decent amount of self-produced movies and co-produced tv shows like Breaking Bad. The reality tho is that Sony as a whole doesn't have that much income itself at the movie/tv department as they are where they are because of their gaming department. They could invest on a streaming platform but the income for all of those services is not a safe bet (as netflix has been losing money since the start practically).

tldr; too much investment for an insecure market

Well, that does kind of depend on the child, the movie does get... intense, but there isn't ever anything that would be called 'explicit' in the traditional sense. Depending on how resilient your child is, I would air on the side of yes, it probably is appropriate, but remain cautious.

Like, it features heavy themes like death, grief and fascism, all of which it handles very well, but I would say they are made child-accessible, if not necessarily 'child-friendly' per se.

I watched it without my phone. It sucked. All the Jordan Peele films suck, they'd make good twightlight zone episodes tho.

Resolved how?
