BTW, my capsule movie review-
Dances with Na'vi.
So... Best Picture - ?
Honestly, I'm a sucker for Cameron's work. Even Titanic sucked me in in its own trivial way.

Shorter, actually. Unlike a typical pan'n'scan situation, the film was made for 1:78, then the tops and bottoms were trimmed for the 2:35 version. He also shot Titanic this way (though oddly, they only rendered the effects in 2:35, so on non FX shots, head room was added, on FX shots, the sides were trimmed).

I've been calling it "Dances with ThunderSmurfs" for a year myself.

Probably best to wait for the second or third viewing to get the "lie of the land" before you try the old blue body paint and hair extensions routine, though...

I saw it opening day just for the experience of the thing, 'cause I'd never seen a 3D movie before... and it was the most amazing thing I'd ever encountered in a movie theater!
Never cared for one second if the story was lacking.
Everybody in the theater applauded at the end (same as when I saw it a month later!), and a bunch of us (all strangers) sat around after the lights came up, discussing what we'd just seen. Not a single one of them expressed disappointment with the story; they all had awed expressions on their faces.
I want to see it a third time in 3D when it gets re-released in November, but I don't EVER want to see it on a small screen, even if it was in 3D, and I sure as Hell don't want to see it in 2D, regardless of the size of the screen!

I'd always heard it called just "Dances with Smurfs".
But Simon Pegg < http://twitter.com/simonpegg> Tweeted this yesterday...

Happy to hear all round cool dudes Fred Armisen and Anton Yelchin have signed up for the Smurfs movie but will it just be Dances With N'avi?

Quote:My theatrical experience was very cool, but I'm primarily a "picture" person. On my TV I saw detail that I totally missed due to the 3D in the movies. In short- I was less distracted.

But that's just me. I grew up with 3D movies so I don't think of em as such a big deal.

Well, I never liked looking at photos or posters with the red & green lenses, so I was very happy that the RealD glasses were almost clear!

I especially remember Spacehunter: Adventures In The Forbidden Zone giving me a wicked headache both times I saw it.
