Week of 2-13 OT Thread

and while I would be pissed too, there is no way I would be that crazy. That dude is a little too amped over a teenage girl being a teenage girl. Kids get rebellious at that age, so I don’t think he’s justified doing what he did. I don’t know the whole story, but it seems harsh.

I would love to see someone do the engagement ring prank. Effing hilarious, that.

I agree with you on the whole “re-mastered in 3D” crap. It is a money making scheme that makes you pay again to see special effects. There might be a handful of movies that I would go see in 3D, but not many, and not Episode I: Phantom Menace. I think a film like Ghostbusters, Army of Darkness, or Heavy Metal would be worth going to see in 3D.

By the way, I liked the Snaps game, sorry it wasn’t popular.

Also, for anyone that has Directv, Center Ice free preview today through Sunday. Which means I’ll be able to watch some games instead of my customary listening to R&R over the internet.

Here’s hoping we get some wins this week! Go Stars!

I’m just too damn busy now to frolic on the interwebs.

Dad overreacted, but the girl acted like a spoiled brat. Respect your parents. Do your chores without (much) complaint.

Fake engagement rings would be hilarious, as long as it didn’t happen to me. If it did, that’s a cruel prank…but sometime’s that’s the point.

Why I hate 3D and you should too

Why 3D doesn’t work and never will. Case closed.

As a film guy I really don’t like it. To me the whole point of film is to immerse yourself in a different world, lose yourself in a story and get your mind to think of concepts it may never have before. Some people have told me that they think 3D does in fact immerse people into the film and those people…well, are just completely wrong. 3D completely takes me out of a film. It is a barrier. A constant reminder that you’re watching a movie and on top of that you’re also losing some of the quality as far as the amount of light is concerned. We’ve gone to such great technological lengths with HD and Blu-ray to finally be able to see many classic films crystal clear, as they were intended and shot. Then IMHO we take a big step backwards in order to try and get children to make their parents endure the travesty that is the “new” bastardized versions of Star Wars. All in glorious 3D of course, so we can continue to have our noses rubbed in the fact that Lucas has stolen our Star Wars from us and that he actually keeps making the films worse with every step. Throwing a gimmick on classic movies so we can sell the movie all over again is just wrong. So is making a movie in 3D so you can just charge more for movie tickets. I saw Avatar in 3D. It looks better in 2D. When I saw the 3D portion of The Order of the Phoenix in IMAX it was absolutely distracting and terrible. Then I saw Tron: Legacy in both formats as well and that was the tipping point for me. That was the moment I started to really hate 3D. Let me tell you that movie is absolutely gorgeous in 2D. Not the greatest movie by a long shot but it is beautiful and it does look better in 2D. I’ve already previously lamented my newly purchased copy of the five disc collectors edition of Blade Runner and I tell you if anyone tried to throw 3D on that stunning visual masterpiece of a movie they should be slapped about the face. No need for that gimmicky junk. When it comes to 3D, just say NO! By buying into that overpriced, vomit inducing, cash-grab technology you’re doing the entire film industry, and more importantly yourself, a great disservice.

You know I’m normally good to do it…. just not this time lol.

But only broken bones would my thing after that.

It will be a PowerPoint show.

I have some books of Texas and some okay sites of this, but I you have any good links, do share.

It doesn’t matter is is Texas Rangers, Texas police or even Dallas police.

Hugo did it better than any other movie yet.

I’m really interested to see what Peter Jackson can do with it.

was Ocarina of Time on the 3DS. It was gorgeous. but as far as movies go… it’s annoying

We’re getting a lot of page views today, and according to Brandon, we’ve hit 47K views this week. Holy shnapps!

I really want to see the rest of this film.

How was yours?

And I should be doing the same things right now, I “should”.

and I want it.

and it just made me wonder if the Stars organization is still doing things to help his wife and children out and if Dallas is going to be a permanent home for them, etc. Anyone have any insights into this?

Of course, she joins her older sisters Caroline and Laura.
