Christian producers like Pureflix were the only place I could find recently made family movies. Hardly any other outlet makes them and if they do they don't advertise.

Strangely enough I found Chinese and Korean made family movies fun but all of them have captions and kids just can't read that fast.

Not me. I wish the audiences were less hostile toward technical advancements. On a similar note, I'd also like to lump in high frame rates as well. I'm not expecting or want these to become the standard, but other technical aspects like aspect ratio, color/B+W, film/digital, etc are all still valid choices that aren't met with such hostility and I can only hope one day it'll be the same with 3D and HFR.

We converted Titanic to 3D. My first gig was 3D conversion and the first two films I worked on were some of the hardest— Jurassic Park and Titanic.

None of it was native like the comment below suggests. We 100% converted it by using a mixture of stereo-painting and compositing. From there I worked on all of Phase 2 of Marvel, Star Wars, Pacific Rim, and my personal favorite, Mad Max: Fury Road. If you care I can explain what we did. If you want the short answer, a lot of fuckin work.

Yes watch it. I know it would have been BETTER if you didnt know who the killer is (though maybe you dont know how it gets to that point? which would be great), its still a FANTASTIC movie. I saw it as a prescreening for this specific reason cause I'm paranoid about some spoilers lol. but, I've rewatched it so many times and I still enjoy it every time.

If we had to take generalizations of football fans and fans of "cinema that asks a lot of the viewer", I think the crossover is at a minimum. I have no real way of confirming this, besides maybe pointing to ask if there's a single movie about football that is also demanding of the audience in this way? There's something almost academic in nature about those ambiguous and thematic types of films. Typically hardcore academia and sports viewership don't have a huge crossover. It's a generalization, and there's tons of outliers, but I would put money on that being the case most of the time. Especially since most people, even non sports viewers, don't really love ambiguous thematic films, which could explain why Nope has a significantly lower audience score than user score. Basically: the average football fan isn't also a film snob.

I agree that calling OP out based on his post history is ludicrous though.

Interesting. The first one was mostly known for a surprisingly strong performance by Kevin James. In all honesty, I felt like Becky was the weakest part of Becky and without a compelling villain to hang the film around, a sequel will struggle.
