Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Hmm as much as I'd hate to support Disney's franchise milking ways, seeing The Lion King at the cinema would be good... I'm not entirely sure what part of the world you're from, but a 3D ticket costs $15 here. $15 to see a dimmer version of a movie everyone probably owns on VHS or DVD. The only significant part about that date for me is that they'll be re-releasing it on Blu-Ray, and it looks like they've cleaned up the visuals for the occasion.

Mr W Phallus Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Why would it be dimmer? And you're right, I do have it on VHS, which is why I've never seen it in HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. GOH! Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Why would it be dimmer? And you're right, I do have it on VHS, which is why I've never seen it in HD. Each lens in 3D glasses filters out a different wavelength of light; it's why the image looks blurry without glasses. And when you filter out light, shit gets dimmer.

Mr. GOH! Posted August 5, 2011 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Sure! Sony licensed the rights to Spider-man from Marvel a while ago to make spider-man cartoons (IIRC; might be a different company) and movies. Marvel was bought by Disney in 2006 or so. Disney wants the rights back. Part of the original agreement stipulated that if Sony were not to make use of spider-man, the rights would revert to Marvel or its successor (in this case, Disney). So Sony has to use it or lose it, so to say. Same with Fox vis a vis X-Men and Fantastic Four. Edited August 5, 2011 by Mr. GOH! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) Why would it be dimmer? And you're right, I do have it on VHS, which is why I've never seen it in HD. Each lens in 3D glasses filters out a different wavelength of light; it's why the image looks blurry without glasses. And when you filter out light, shit gets dimmer. That does seem to make sense, but I was under the impression it was different polarisations, not different wavelengths that were being blocked out. (Well with RealD or whatever they call modern 3D, obviously red/blue 3D is different wavelengths). Each eye is basically receiving a different projection with a different polarisation right? It's going to be brighter with the glasses off because you're receiving both projections at once but even with the glasses on is each individual projection not going to be as bright as a normal film? Edit: Decided to be less lazy and actually do some research for myself, apparently the polarising lens in the projector is the problem, which makes perfect sense. Is it possible to have a light source that only provides light polarised in a single direction?

Hot Heart Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) Malcolm McDowell aside, that looks awful. I mean, even though it's not serious, it does not look funny. Edited August 17, 2011 by Hot Heart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 You thought Malcolm McDowell looked good in it? I actually thought it was serious at first, although the fact it isn't only makes the terrible jokes all the more inexcusable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 Wow that looks shiiiittttt. It's like some trailer for a film you make at college. If it wasn't for the fact it has Malcolm McDowell in it I'd have assumed it was just a stand-alone trailer someone made for a project. Anyway the premise has been done before.

Hot Heart Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) While not great, Malcolm McDowell can at least give a semblance of a performance. The rest of the cast look dreadful but not in a funny way. EDIT: The Man Who Sued God seems like a far more 'developed' and slightly different film though.

deanb Posted August 17, 2011 Report Share Posted August 17, 2011 The sound was the big killer. The music was something you'd expect for an action film, the reverse cymbal in between each fade out was bad, then a sudden random change to slow pop music you get in prom dance scenes towards the end. We were generally encouraged to submit work with no sound at all as it was usually extremely bad. Especially when students discover the sound library The acting of most of the cast being worse than a limp fart didn't help at all either. It's like they're acting serious business, but it's clear the lines are meant to be funny. And the only thing that got halfway their was the KISS part.

CorgiShinobi Posted August 18, 2011 Report Share Posted August 18, 2011 Totally looks like a college project. Actually, I've seen better project trailers than that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 So a double dose since I just come back from the cinema http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lf9RIKbKpIo tbh this one didn't look like it would be that great, just your average sci-fi action thriller. But it does look like it could be pretty. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2IULuYDKHM This one however I know the existence of, but was my first time seeing a trailer. When it opened up my first thought was "Assasincs creed the movie". And it looks like it could potentially fit. My only issue would be Orlando Bloom. He has a habit of sucking outside of anything alongside John Rhys-Davies to play off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Confused feelings about this one. I've seen the play version of this and it was hands down scarier than any film I've ever seen (I know I wouldn't have believed it either). The trailer itself is decent and fairly spooky. The biggest worry, of course, is Radcliffe. Can he shake off the associations with Harry Potter? Has he learnt to act? Luckily horror films don't tend to lean too heavily on dialogue spoken by the protagonist, so all he needs to do really is master walking with trepidation through dark houses. I hope they do the source material justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Now this looks pretty fun. Though also seems like all the jokes are in the trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Much like most comedy trailers. So yeah, I want to see the movie, but the Blu-ray/DVD is actually going to come out in two months. Seriously, November 29 of this year.

deanb Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 It reminds me of Tron actually. The music n the dude who gets de-rezzed at 0:18.I'm gonna struggle with the actors though. Thor as the huntsman is just going to remind me of thor. And Kristen Stewart fairer than Charlize Theron? Not buying it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excel_excel Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 Yay MIB 3! Looks better than 2 at any rate. That one was a bit of a mess. Also.....does Will Smith age? Ever since like somewhere in the middle of Fresh Prince he stopped ageing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
