I like it.
Also Is it true this movie will be 3-D? Isn't that rather cheesy?
And how much does it cost to film in 3-D?

[Radbacker]

i dont think it costs more to shoot in 3D (as long as you've go them flash camera's) but it adds quite a bit to the cost if you convert to 3D in post production (not only does it cost a shed load I've yet to see a good 3D conversion).
I think the main thing with shooting in 3D is that it needs to filmed quite a bit brighter (something to do with the 3D image being much darker than the 2D image) so you have to light appropriatly.  I think this is how it works but I'm not a cinematography or director so i may be wrong>

I think its the glasses that make things darker, not the actual 3D process, but you still have to compensate for it.

[Radbacker]

ahh yes, that would make sense as they're polarized.

For instance when doing some of my past jobs I would wear the following.
Side arm in holster strapped to waist and leg, velcro and stud release(It doesn't wobble when running about, come loose or make a noise).
Spare mags (for side arm), velcroed to both legs (Again, tight to the body and in the best position for ease of use, won't make a noise or come loose).

And that was just the HellTrek.

The 3D thing is a weird one, I'd initially thought it was a great idea if only for getting the movie noticed. After all, I figured with 3D being the big thing people would go and see it just because it was the current 3D movie. Noticed the last time I was at the cinema though that Toy Story was just out and showing on a heap of screens in both 3D and 2D, and weirdly every 2D showing was fully booked but the 3D ones weren't. It struck me as strange, maybe given the choice people just don't like 3D as much as I'd assumed.

[TordelBack]

Possibly Keef's Toy Story 3 observation may have to do with young kids - I know my eldest (4) hates wearing the glasses, to the point that we don't even try to bring him to 3D showings.  For myself I'll always grab the 3D version since I get to the cinema so rarely that I want to maximise the experience with whatever fad is going, although as others have noted fast motion is always blurry for me.

Yeah imagine knowing the name of a film before you go to see it! It makes the conversation with the desk attendant when you're trying to buy your tickets soooo much less interesting.

I mean, buying the tickets is part of the experience, y'know?

"Hi, I'd like 2 tickets for a movie."

"Which movie would you like to see, sir?"

"I don't know what it's called."

"Well how do I know what movie you want to see, then?"

"It's about a futuristic lawman in this huge future city and he's like, judge, jury and executioner all rolled into one!"

"Ah, right! So you want to see..."

"HEY... DON'T tell me what it's called, I don't want to know until I see the opening credits, okay? Sheesh!"

"Okay well that's two tickets for... if I got the wrong film you can't blame me, right? Here you go. I suggest you don't look at them. It's in screen five. Don't forget or you'll have to look at them. Oh, and there's a poster on your left as you go in that you won't want to look at either." (rolls eyes). "Next!... Somebody sane, please."

Yes, I'm having to bite my tongue a bit with all these complaints (not yours Peter Wolf, I know it was a gag) about spoilers.

My usual response, in real life is thus:

"Oh fuck off, it's a FILM! GROW UP! If you don't want to know anything about a certain film, don't go on the fucking Internet, to a website devoted to said film and peruse threads pertaining to said film!"

If people seriously want to avoid everything about a particular film or tv show, then fine- go and live in the 1970s when such things were avoidable. However, these days, you've got no chance, sorry.

Just wait til the publicity kicks into gear... And don't, whatever you do, come up and talk to me in real life, because I WILL drop snippets into conversation just to piss you off. Because it's funny to watch grown men get upset over such things. I won't mention them here, of course, unless there's a thread devoted to such things. Why haven't we got one yet?

If this movie is in 3-D I'll see it in 3-D at the theater
and 2-D at home when it hits the blu-ray.  

[Steve Green]

I saw the stallone twice at the cinema for my sins, so I'll probably catch it in 2D and 3D.

I was going to mention wanting a return the 70s and lack of internet, but then I remembered I read the Marvel Star Wars adaptation before I saw the film as a kid, so even then I was spoiling things for myself...
