The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D!

[Sub la Goon]

I got my tickets for Sun, Oct. 22 at 7PM.

There is no way I can make it from OC to LA by 6:30 after work.

Ok, I'll rally round Sunday the twenty-second.

Sorry, I'm going Sat the 28th (So it's close to Halloween) .

My mom bought the tickets, and I kept forgetting to ask her the date!

Depsite fearing GD's fists of death, I must say that I'm not a big fan of this film. I love the make over for HM, but the movie is a snoozefest. I love the art direction but the movie as a whole doesn't do it for me. BUT I would see this in 3D just to see what they've done with it. But I doubt it will change my mind about the film...

I know what G.C. means. I was not a fan of this movie at first. It's got serious pacing issues, and I can commisserate with anyone who finds it a "snoozefest."

But after deciding to view it on its own terms of less than perfect story construction, its other factors overwhelmed any qualms I had about its defects.

This seems to have been the effect on the general populace, too. NBC was not particularly well received in its initial release, but has gone on to become a cult classic, and phenomenally popular over time with the general public.

This speaks to me of qualiites more valuable than mere entertainment.


Besides, who could fall asleep ... now that it's in 3-D???

I'm trying to think of some good 3D moments in this film. I'm thinking Zero will be cool to watch and the sleigh too. But I can't think of many others. I guess the ghosts popping out here and there during the 'This is Halloween' song...

Lock, Shock and Barrel jumping Santa when opens the door.

That is the 3-D moment I am waiting for.

It took me a good 10 years to see it for the first time. Then with the HMH overlay, I became more interested. Then with some of Tim Burtons' other films, I realy got to liking the art of it, as well as the music.

In my original post I put the link to the trailer which shows some of the 2D shots that would make great 3D.

I haven't seen the movie in quite some time. We kept saying every year that we should see it before HMH but never got around to it. The 3D theatre screening seemed like a great excuse to finally see it again.

I don't know if there are necessarily good "3D moments". I'm looking forward to seeing it though. The way they did 3D with "Chicken Little" was to basically make it more realistic looking, not just for "stuff-popping-out shock value". For that movie, I spent about 10 minutes doing the "wow, this is awesome" thing with the effects, and then after that, there might have been occasional moments of that, but mostly, it was just a part of the film. I'm hoping that's what they did with "Nightmare". It becomes less of a gimmick and more just enhancing the viewing experience.

I agree. But if it's not that good, there is still the original to fall back on. No harm, no foul (except the price of the ticket).
