Pinocchio’s motivation in the Del Toro version was never wanting to be a real boy. Besides that, great interview!

You and me both! I'd love to revisit these films on the big screen again.

I'm a sucker for the Marvel movies. Me and my best friend try to see as many in theatre as possible. I also like the ones most people don't, like Multiverse of Madness was great to me; Although it was just basically if Evil Dead was made for Marvel, which I have zero complaints about. I enjoyed Jonathan Majors in Loki, and am excited for what he is going to bring. Paul Rudd also adds a likeability to a hard to like character.
Buuuuuuuuuuuut I understand why people hate them and can't stand them. They don't appeal to everyone, and the people they do appeal to have been let down a number of times recently.

>The monster was rubbish. Why did it hide in a cloud? What was it? Wheredid it come from? What did it want? It wasn't explained, and it wasn'tshown how it ate those people at the show. The film doesn't want to showthe most interesting parts of the film.
​
It doesn't matter because it's 1) not the point of the film, and 2) a metaphor.

They used to have PlayStation Vue. Used to subscribe and liked it compared to the other live TV streaming service options. Think it was a mistake to use the PlayStation branding though since it wasn't something exclusive to game consoles or had anything to do with video games.

Oh, I can see 3D alright. I'm one of the people who does a little "glasses on, glasses off" and "close one eye, then the other" test to check 3D quality.
It just don't improve a movie in my opinion.

the only time i watched 3D movies and it was terrible, spend most of the time watching a 2D movie and wondering when a 3D but is going to happen, then it does and it goes back to 2D for another hour, now unfortunately no matter how much better 3D has gotten since then i will never find out, early 3D movies ruined it for everyone taking it seriously now lol

Then 5040 and 5050 are faux-K and 3D. I think the 5060 is, too? The 5040 can't do 4k/60 in anything but 8 bit 4:2:0, though, so it has some shitty 4k limitations in a world of video devices that force 60fps.

Part of the reason why Legendary studios signed on with Sony after the big breakup with WB was precisely because Sony have no streaming service.

I was too young to see Friday III in 3D, and always heard about how great the effects were. Still holding out hope I'll catch a revival screening someday...

Omg I love this book but how he can make a movie out of this is beyond me.

He had major roles in Death Race 2000 and Lords of Flatbush before Rocky.

Didn't they shut down the Playstation Network? I only ever rented one movie through PSN, and the buffering was so awful I never even considered it again.

I agree with you. 3D is about that added depth. It’s makes an object in the foreground such as a Coke can visually interesting but if it where in 2D when everything is flat, your eye skips over it. Some people would call that distracting from the scene, but when I was in Art class my teacher taught me that by adding items such as different color variations of white at strategic points I could control where the viewer starts, moves around, and ends in my painting. I feel 3D brings that control for the director. It makes the artwork more exciting. I do feel that the intention needs to be a 3D movie from the start or a past movie that can be converted where the technology wasn’t there at the time but 3D would add to it visually. I also understand wearing glasses can be uncomfortable but to me the experience of 3D is worth it and I love it. I would like to see 3 really high quality 3D movies a year as to not over due the experience factor and not converted to try and make an extra buck.

Definitely an assumption and an asshole one at that. I love football more than anything and I also love movies that make you think. I can also say that about quite a few friends who obsess over sports.

I'm fortunate in that my eyes both work well and it doesn't make me nauseous or distract me at all but I still never feel any benefit from having it and find the glasses a bit annoying to wear. I associate 3D with novelty stuff like Muppets 3D (which is great) rather than actually seeing a film.
Back when it had its 2000s resurgence there were people saying everything would switch to 3D which felt a bit like thinking that the invention of sculptures rendered paintings obsolete.

Idk. I've only ever seen like 1 3D movie ever and that was Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 1 at IMAX 3D. Unfortunately it was only the first 15 or 30 minutes in 3D and the rest was regular 2D but it was pretty cool nonetheless.

3D movies are fun to watch at first, but I find the 3D effect wears off after a while and you don't even notice it.

Nope was one of the sorriest movies I ever saw. Very disappointed.

I don’t know, it just gets stressful on my eyes after a while. It’s possible I’m one of those people.

Sort of.
They definitely stopped producing content for it.
