If this movie had only cost $150m to make, this wouldn’t even be a disappointing opener. It wouldn’t have been a wild success, but probably would have coasted to profitability eventually. It seems a decent chunk was spent on the de-aging process. They should have just hired Alden Ehrenreich to do the flashback scene.

I miss the pre-internet days.

I always thought the fridge was intentional nonsense, basically a tradition, as the preceding films each contained an equally goofy scene. Much has been made of the mostly implied “submarine ride” in Raiders (though I would point at the “basket chase”); Temple had the “lifeboat parachute” (which is at least as goofy…

All the movies have been made for 3D from Mission Impossible to Transformers to The Little Mermaid to Fast X to Guardians of the Galaxy to Super Mario etc. etc.

I actually saw that in the theater when it opened. So, so, so bad...

Nothing wrong with 3D movies, just stop making movies with crappy 3D. 

Scorsese said that MCU movies are like amusement park rides, but what about movies like Oppenheimer or any Nolan film for that matter? You’re being told to go to specific screens to see and then never see it in that format again. I see as many movies as possible in the theater but if you tell me there are only a…

Why make an exception for Avatar, of all movies?

Shout Factory as part of the Friday the 13th collection, all others on blu-ray are anaglyph

As one of the 15 people that still have a 3d tv and 3d blu-ray collection, I hope they keep making them.

Having just seen Robot Monster in 3D at a film fest, and having previously seen real 3D versions of House of Wax and Creature from the Black Lagoon, I think 3D can be a ton of fun and add a lot to the theatrical experience. I wish 3D TVs still existed, though. Disappointing that got phased out and now I have a bunch…

You can get it on DVD with 2 pairs of hockey mask glasses. Looks like shit, though.

Was MBV3D really the first film to employ RealD? I worked at a theater from 2005-2009 and remember it being advertised very early on in the 3D boom a few years before MBV came out. I can’t seem to find a list of films utilizing RealD specifically, but I really doubt MBV was the very first.

I’d like to see Star Wars: the Phantom Menace in 3-d. It’s just sitting there, never released ( and Disney has released everything Star Wars related).

Studios became gluttons for 3D conversions, saturating the market with what were most frequently eyesores, though sometimes delivering worthwhile 3D experiences, like Piranha and Tron: Legacy, that took advantage of the format.

The Last Starfighter is great. I picked it up on Blu-ray a while back and at least for me, the effects still hold up. I was a worried that the higher resolution would reveal the cheesiness of it all but in a way the cleaner image made the wire-frame CGI better. Not more realistic, but personally I will always be able…

If it was wasn’t for Event Horizon, Christopher Nolan wouldn’t have been able to explain how wormholes work.

This makes The Mummy so much better.

He stomps a few and even eats a couple of both the Skull Island natives and some New Yorkers, the full account is here: https://listofdeaths.fandom.com/wiki/King_Kong

Yeah, I probably am misremembering about Kong and the not-Ann woman. The dropping her... that happened, though, and was both scary and (sort of) funny.
