What Other Films Are You Waiting For?

[Koko Ed]

Just got back from seeing Nascar 3D: The Imax Experience. Of all the professional sports out there I'd say racing is the most similar to FIRST. They even pointed out that engineers are what really drive the teams, not the sterotypical grease monkey (a future carrer FIRST could lead to).
The movie is very infromative and LOUD(you can actually feel the sound comming out of those IMAX speakers) and when you veiw racing on the track it is exhilarting. I haven 't seen many IMAX films (saw the Two Towers in the IMAX theater and was dissapointed that they basically ran it in standard fromat so all you really had was the great sound. I was equally dissapointed Fantasia 2000 wasn't in 3D) but I can readily say this is the best one I have seen. A.

Yes please.

Oh yay, another one of those "Let's destroy the earth" movies.

Personally, I can't wait for the Garfield Movie, and Scooby Doo 2.

Maybe the marketing execs will actually use my Mountain (Dew)/(Doo) idea this time around for the Scooby Doo 2 marketing campaign!! Then again, maybe not...

Firefly! Well, it'll be titled Serenity, but it's all good. It just got the green light from Universal. It's set for a June 2005 release with a budget of $35,000,000. That will get me into a theater.

Also, Hellboy, Punisher, I think there's also a Fantastic 4 and a Captain America movie in the works (as you can tell, I like Marvel). And I know we're talking deep into 2005 by now, but there's also X3. Plus, The Matrix: Revolutions is due out on DVD soon, and when the extended version of Return of the King is out, I'll be nabbing hat. But still, the only way you'll get me into a theater is to see Serenity.

I'm not sure how I missed this thread coming back to life yet again.

I had a chance to preview NASCAR 3D: The IMAX Experience before it opened to the general public on Friday -- such are the perks of being a geek, I guess. On the whole, I thought it was a pretty good movie as far as IMAX movies go, but it wasn't really all that amazing. As with other movies, the aerial photography is where IMAX really shines.

IMAX films are shot in the same aspect ratio as television, not feature films. However, all feature length films that are shown in IMAX undergo a process for adapting them to the larger film format so they do not lose quality as the image is scaled up.

In the future, expect Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to open in IMAX two weeks after its debut in traditional theaters this summer.

My favorite Imax movie so far is Everest. I had just finished reading Into Thin Air a couple of weeks before I saw it, which made the movie all the more intense. The only other two I really remember much about is one about roller coasters and another one about storm chasers.

but what would you do with a storm when you caught it?

USA network just showed the first (very gory) 10 minutes of the new Dawn of the Dead movie.
Looks very intense.
But I don't know if I want to bother with it after seeing 28 Hours Later last year.

Do you mean 28 Days Later?? I didn't see that yet.
How was it for all who saw it?

I thought it was pretty intense, and thoroughly enjoyed it. I saw it at 2am, alone in a dark room.

[Elgin Clock]

I think anything that you watch in a dark room at 2am can be pretty intense.

I remember that's how it was when I played the video game Silent Hill on PS1 the first time I played it.
That freaked me out.

No USA showed the opening 10 minutes of the new film, uncut.

Anybody wanna go see Kill Bill Vol 2 down in Atlanta, as it comes out on April 16th, right during the middle of Nats.

To me Kill Bill was like eating a can of frosting. Fun at first but you get sick of it after a while and eventually you get a stomach ache from the whole thing. There were absolutely cool momnets but it's art for art sake. There's no purpose behind the whole thing. It's talking loud and saying nothing. That being said I'll still see Vol. 2.

That's the point.

It's a very stylized movie aimed at pleasing the audience by its numerous moments of pure-Tarantino film-making (though yes, I got a bit tired of all the limbs). The execution of the movie was awesome. I think Tarantino did exactly what he planned to do. And it's worked out just fine. The 2nd volume is supposed to be better, or so I heard from E&R's early preview.

The full trailer for Spiderman 2 was posted online last night.
