Avatar is ass and I never see anyone talk about it.

 

I did not like that movie

 

I saw Avatar in IMAX 3D with my dad because he was so HYPED. All I really remember was the guy in the row in front of us smoking weed out of his pipe occasionally and the fact that I had to pee, figured it was almost over only for it to last another like two hours. Definitely did not leave a huge impact in my life. I think maybe the scene with the floating flowers or seeds or whatever was pretty.

 

Side note: what's the worst 3D you've seen? For me it was the first Alice in Wonderland from Tim Burton. Just a complete waste of money, time, and effort for a totally subpar product.

I think honestly the first How to Train Your Dragon was my favorite 3D usage. Animated movies in general look better for me .

 

Hate 3D, full stop. Will not buy a ticket to a 3D movie

 

Friday the 13th part III in 3D >>>>>>>> all other movies ever

 

They Shall Not Grow one was probably the best and most interestingly utilized 3D experiences I’ve ever had. It almost made the film.

 

The thing is that film is already in 3D. Even on a cell phone the viewer can easily make out what is in the background and foreground. It is not the next frontier like adding sound or color was.

Martin Scorsese and Jean-Luc Godard are two of the most important directors of all time and even they didn't find that much to use with 3D.

 

Yeah I don't do 3D at all

 

There are plenty of 3D movies that aren’t impressive but when they’re filmed in 3D and done well, it’s extremely effective. Pacific Rim in 3D was one of the best theatrical experiences I ever had. It wasn’t drab and washed out like most other 3D movies I’ve seen.

 

Prometheus looked really good in 3D tbh. Was subtle enough to not be annoying but prominent enough to be noticeable and added a decent amount of depth without being distracting

 

9 times out of 10 3D is just a way to squeeze extra money from people, but there are definitely some times it's actually part of the process and worth it

 

It has been with it a handful of times I've been. Namely really well animated films and occasionally Sci-fi stuff that's 90% cg anyway

I remember Prometheus being pretty good in 3D, as was Guardians of the Galaxy and HTTYD

 

More importantly, I just watched this movie

Quotes from the movie:
A civilian humanoid duck from the planet Puckworld :"So I said, 'Insurance? Who needs it?!?!'" which is followed by an explosion as the planet gets attacked.
"In an ancient tomb in the mountains they call Twin Beaks."
"With hockey, all things are possible."
She's the "expert in science and, you know, technical stuff. She was so good she knew how to set a timer on a VCR."

 

Clash of the Titans. Not only was the movie just really bad, but the action scenes had so many quick cuts that it hurt your eyes in 3D. I'm glad 3D went away haha.

 

Villeneuve should be under film bro, but overall very accurate.

 

Whoever made this is a pretentious dick. All of these categories cross into all of these categories.

 

You have to be able to laugh at yourself. I see a lot of myself in the Auteur Sucker category.

 

I’m definitely all of them except for Film Bro.

 

It’s very funny and I’ve been two or three of those at different points in my life

 

I am sections of all 4 honestly.

 

Film Twitter but I've abandoned all pretense of believing I'll ever be a " film person " versus someone who watches movies, also I'm critical of A24

I feel like Lady Bird with the greatest hits CD but why wouldn't you watch a movie for its actors

 

Why would he be under film bro? Every person I met irl hated Blade Runner cuz they’re terrible people.

 

Has a letterboxd lol
