Re: Michael Bay Pleads for Brightness in 3-D TF3 Exhibitions
Ed, it's all coming to an end, thankfully. I can see them using 3-D every once in a while for certain movies but this notion of using 3-D two-three times a month for any major studio release is o-v-e-r. I said from the very beginning 3-D was nothing but a gimmick and they were going to over-do it, c...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
It's good to see him coming to this conclusion or feeling the pressure now because I'm pretty sure there is no existing HD master of the movie out there -- at least none that I've seen on any of the HD movie channels. With a title like 1776 (much like LEGEND) you want to make sure they transfer the ...

Re: rate the last movie you saw
Wow that would be awesome. If that's true I won't bother transferring this again because it takes up a massive amount of time.

Re: rate the last movie you saw
I am going to make a fresh transfer of my 1776 LD with my AVCHD high-def PC recorder this summer. Just need to figure out the proper bit rate for a dual-layer disc. You know I agree with you Eric, the laserdisc cut is better than the DVD, and JoeCaps got it right with that release. What Hunt did to ...

Re: 4th of July Box-Office
Just an FYI...this movie's domestic grosses were much lower, but it doesn't matter...in terms of overall sales it's already passed AT WORLD'S END. $1 bil is a hell of a lot of money. Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides just crossed $1 billion in global box office today. The pic had grossed $...

Re: 4th of July Box-Office
It is, but they'll spin it and tell you it'll hold up over the next few weeks because the movie is "better." Of course I'm not taking their word for it

Re: Tom Hanks/Julia Roberts Movie, LARRY CROWNE, Bombs
Truth be told Hanks is kind of like Spielberg politically to me: I don't always agree with where they're coming from, but unlike some other pundits on the other side of the aisle, I respect them because I think they mean well (if you know what I mean). We'll just agree to disagree. The bigger proble...

Re: 4th of July Box-Office
It's running, I think they said, 28% under TF2 for the first few days -- and that's WITH 3-D, which it didn't have before.
So it's big, but it's not massive.
Obviously we'll have to see how it holds up for the next few weekends.

Re: G.I. JOE 2 - Adrienne Palicki New Female Lead
Yeah totally agree.Eric W. wrote:GI Joe was "ok."
Not great...decent romp, that's about it.
The Rock is in this one too, which will help boost grosses. Bruce Willis would be another nice addition.

Tom Hanks/Julia Roberts Movie, LARRY CROWNE, Bombs
I love the comment "who the ---- wants to see Tom Hanks, who just bought a $26 million house, play one of the “regular” folks getting laid off from a big box store? I wonder how he got into character…did he go around the Valley, asking people “what it’s like living with no dreams in an economic...
