Jeffrey Katzenberg is also convinced that 3D will one day be the theatrical standard.

Avatar will probably be the big threshhold event. First totally big budget mass market live action title.

#1 - Finding Nemo
#2 - Wall-E
#3 - Up
#4 - Toy Story 2
#5 - Toy Story
#6 - Monsters, Inc.
#7 - The Incredibles
#8 - Ratatouille
#9 - Cars
#10 - A Bug's Life

But honestly, there is no huge drop-off. I like all of them. The race for #1 is pretty tight between my top 5. And the race is still pretty tight right after it.

#1 - The Incredibles
#2 - Toy Story
#3 - Toy Story 2
#4 - Wall-E

-- ISM's cliff of despair ----

#5 - Cars
#6 - Ratatouille
#7 - Finding Nemo
#8 - Monsters, Inc.
#9 - A Bug's Life

I have not seen "Up" yet.

My top ten on the subject.

1. Great movies.
2. Good movies.
3. Mediocre movies.
4. Bad movies.
5. Terrible movies.
6. Ed Wood movies.

HUGE DROP-OFF

7. Broken jar in the ass movies.

HUGE DROP-OFF

8. Broken jar in the ass.

HUGE DROP-OFF

9. Waterboarding.

HUGER DROP-OFF

10. "Cars"

I would put #9 above #8. At least #9 gets you sympathy from Keith Olbermann.

I don't know if I made a list before, but here's the latest one. It could change tomorrow.
:)

1. Finding Nemo
2. The Incredibles
3. Ratatouille
4. Wall-E
5. Up
6. Monsters Inc.
7. Toy Story 2
8. Toy Story
9. A Bug's Life
10. Cars

I just don't see 3D being a viable film medium. It is just something the studios are trying to convince us we need to get our butts in the theatres again.

Maybe so, but it isn't a cheap gimmick. Tens of millions of dollars are being spent (much of it subsidized by the studios) to get the projectors into theaters.

That said, with digital technology elimination vibration blur (on old analog cameras it was impossible to keep the two cameras perfectly in synch) completely the only problem I have with it is the dimness if the theater isn't keeping the lumens at the right level (that is one reason they need the new projectors, they need to be able to project much brighter than traditional ones) and the glasses.

Katzenberg mentioned one thing at the presentation I went to where a top end sunglass designer had made a prototype of regular sunglasses with the appropriate left right lens polarization to do double duty for 3D movies. I'd be cool with that (especially if I'm going to have to see ten 3D movies a year for reviewing).

I'll give Avatar a chance, but based on my experiences so far with movies like Bolt I'll stick with 2D.


What about Imax? Do you all go out of your way to see movies on Imax?

I'll go to an Imax if it's nearby and showing something interesting. However, I want nothing to do with the recent trend of theFake IMAX experience.
