haven't read this whole thread, but i'll put my two cents in. i wasn't all that impressed with episode one in 3d. i think the picture quality suffered a lot, and i was stuck next to a couple of jar jar binks fans. these people would chuckle anytime jar jar started being jar jar. the pod race was pretty cool, and the ending was a high point as well, but overall it wasn't as good as i hoped.

Roger Ebert trashing the 3D process and trashing the 3D used on the new Titanic conversion. A film which he otherwise loves.
http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2012..._the_ship.html Now for the final flaw. It is, of course, the 3D process. Cameron has justly been praised for being one of the few directors to use 3D usefully, in "Avatar." But "Titanic" was not shot for 3D, and just as you cannot gild a pig, you cannot make 2D into 3D. What you can do, and he tries to do it well, is find certain scenes that you can present as having planes of focus in foreground, middle and distance. So what? Did you miss any dimensions the first time you saw "Titanic?" No matter how long Cameron took to do it, no matter how much he spent, this is retrofitted 2D. Case closed. But not quite. There's more to it than that. 3D causes a noticeable loss in the brightness coming from the screen. Some say as much as 20 percent. If you saw an ordinary film dimmed that much, you might complain to the management. Here you're supposed to be grateful you had the opportunity to pay a surcharge for this defacement. If you're alert to it, you'll notice that many shots and sequences in this version are not in 3D at all, but remain in 2D. If you take off your glasses, they'll pop off the screen with dramatically improved brightness. I know why the film is in 3D. It's to justify the extra charge. That's a shabby way to treat a masterpiece.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kate Winslet's tits in 3D. Other than that, seriously? Titanic in 3D?
Cameron's morphing into Geoge Lucas before our eyes. |

Can Star Wars just please die already? I mean, I love the original trilogy, but enough is enough. Just about everything else has been crap. I'd love for them to release the original trilogy on blu-ray the way it was before he added all the new crap in.

Why he didn't include both versions of the film like he did with the DVDs makes no sense at all.

Because he didn't want to clean them up for the HD transfer. Takes time and money.

Can't wait for Lucas to die so some inheritant can go against his dying wish and continue the Star Wars saga. You know, in a moving forward kind of way.

First one is supposed to come out in about six years after all the 3D re-releases.

He'll be dead by then, if each 3D movie takes a year to come out. Hopefully so, though. Quick dicking around with these past stories and get on with it. |

If that is true and he is directing them, I have no desire to see them.

Oh God, make it stop...I had always heard that Lucas was NOT going to make epi's 7, 8, and 9. When did he change his mind?

At the very least there will DEFINITELY be a live-action TV show focused on the seedy underbelly of the Star Wars universe between Episode III and Episode IV. Boba Fett, Jabba the Hutt, etc. Rick McCallum has offered a number of interviews about it.

I took my son to it, 3D did not make alot of difference. The best was the underwater scene, and some of the spacefighting and pod racing scene for the 3D. He enjoyed it and it wasn't much more then a minor league baseball game, especially at the matinee price. Plus its not much worse then any of the other shit hollywood shoves out there nowdays.
