Come on, Neph, you're smarter than that. By that logic, every single person who posted in this thread has issues, and that's obviously not the case.

Just pointing out the numerous times you needed to tell us what was wrong with a movie you had not seen in a thread about a movie you don't care about.

We should have a District 9 thread... (because I rarely open up the Miscellaneous Movie Musings Postings Daydreams Etc thread... mostly because I need to read back too far to find out if someone's talked about a movie or not... and maybe everyone's talked about it, but I'll never know...).

I luvved that movie.

#1 READY TO SEE A GREAT (AND ANOTHER NOT SO GREAT) SCI-FI TRILOGY AGAIN... IN 3D?

As Avatar continues to reign over the box office, a common argument has been that James Cameron's movie changed the way that audiences experience movies in 3D. There has been a lot of speculation that we'll not only see more films made in 3D, but that possibly some older "eye candy" movies could get the treatment, too. Now, George Lucas has confirmed that for years he has been looking into bringing the two Star Wars trilogies back to theaters in 3D form, and that Avatar has shown him that the time may be right for him to begin the process. Lucas says "we've been looking for years and years of trying to take Star Wars and put it in 3D, but [the] technology hasn't been there. We've been struggling with it, but I think is the new impetus to make that happen." If Lucas goes through with plans to return all six Star Wars to theaters in the 3D format, it will be the second time that the original trilogy has been rereleased, following the controversial "Special Edition" versions from 1997, and the first for the prequel trilogy.

Do you think Lucas has ANY inkling of what a self parody he's become, or is he truly that clueless?

I think he went nuts somewhere between Empire and the song "Lapti Nek" in Jedi.

In addition to the 3D, I wonder what else he will feel compelled to tinker with. (Of course, he could decide to spend half a billion dollars and turn phantom Menace into a good movie - I guess that means remaking it completely, though.)

Also, in what way did Avatar change the way audiences watch movies? Really! In what way! I demand to know. I sat in a theater seat, wore cheap plastic glasses and was completely entertained by a remarkably conventional narrative. What was new about that?

I sense a great disturbance in the force...

I knew I should have kept my mouth shut.

I'm sorry.
