Titanic To Be Re-Released in 3D — Will Leonardo Fit on the Board Now?

I’m not sure I need to explain again how I think 3D is an absolute abomination. And post-production 3D is even worse. In case you don’t know what that is, it’s basically when filmmakers are too lazy or inexperienced to use the heavy-duty 3D cameras, so they instead film everything the way they know how, and then once the film is complete, they convert it to 3D. Translation? — It looks even worse (if that’s possible). And just to drive the knife deeper into my heart, Titanic will now be re-released in 3D to commemorate its 100 year anniversary. I’m sure James Cameron is crying in the fetal position upon hearing the news. Though Cameron started this 3D debacle, he took years to develop the proper cameras to shoot Avatar. Since Avatar, oodles of studio executives are feebly attempting to duplicate his success, because studio executives are greedy monsters with no artistic integrity. I’d like to close this post with one last inquiry/complaint. Will the size of that board that Leonardo DiCaprio failed to utilize at the end of Titanic look even larger in 3D? It still infuriates me that he couldn’t share it with Kate. Seriously — that board was super big. Couldn’t they spoon on it or something?

3D Movies Cause a Major Ticket Price Increase

Attention movie lovers!  You might not be able to afford the movies anymore.  This 3D movie craze is greatly costing the consumer.  Ticket prices for 3D movies have increased by 20%, and just about every upcoming movie will be in 3D, in an effort by studios to drain us of every last penny.  This 3D craze hasn’t been in effect long enough to see how moviegoers will respond.  I hate ‘Avatar’ more and more everyday for this crap.  The whole reason I even went to see ‘Avatar’ was because I thought it was this unique event that I wouldn’t be able to ever get again, especially if I were to rent the movie later.  Now that every film is in 3D, I’ll definitely think twice about spending the money.  It’s not worth the $20 dollars or the subsequent headache and eye pain that I get after seeing it.  Ticket buyers need to “vote with their wallets.”      

James Cameron Screens Avatar for the Troops

Is there anything that this guy does not think of?  James Cameron, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Michelle Rodriguez, flew to Bahrain to screen Avatar for the United States military.  Cameron’s brother is an ex-marine.  Cameron stated that this was a “once-in-a-lifetime experience” and “to do something for the men and women who serve our country was a great privilege.”
