About half way through, "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, & Her Lover" right now. One word describes it for me, vexing. No idea if I'll finish it.

I also think the Pink Elephants scene would be amazing in 3D.
Discovered on the job; read the start of the 2nd paragraph.

Closely Watched Trains is pretty great. Not the most formally impressive film, but admirably ballsy (how many sex comedies have the main character slit his wrists halfway through because he can't get it up?) and, like most great comedies, often as awkward and painful as it's funny. Also proof that you can derive humor from sexual frustration without falling back to stupid, gross-out bodily function gags. Loved it. The Shop on Main Street will prolly be next.
I thought that The Men Who Stare At Goats was really funny, but its political commentary wasn't very sharp and it wasn't focused enough.
Everyone Else:
-not sure why I liked this but I did
-doubt I'll ever watch it again
-bitches be crazy
-needed more casual nudity
-not as good as Head-On for German emo-romance
For some reason, trying to find Avatar 3D available for purchase is proving an arduous task. What's the deal here? Is that still prohibitively expensive? Is there no real market for these things yet?
Blood Diamond was actually rather good as a drama/action hybrid. Ed Zwick may be a sellout sometimes, but he's a decent filmmaker.
So is Meirelles for that matter -- I thought Constant Gardener overcame the blandness of its storyline with above-average acting and craftsmanship.
That is correct, but being a special deal still shouldn't exclude it being available on shelves. It seems that whichever brochure I peruse, 50% of TV's shown are 3d and Avatar is now 15 months old. So I ask again, why aren't such movies, including some animated flicks, more readily available from the usual sites? I checked Amazon and even they don't seem to carry it as part of their standard line-up. Instead, I'm diverted to 3rd party sellers and the prices are extortionate.
I do not, but I'm not sure why we need to be skeptical or sarcastic. The P50VT20 from Panasonic and its follow-up P50VT30 are supposedly great Plasma 3D screens and affordable too here in Belgium via online sellers. Plus, higher contract ratios than at the movies means 3d at home might be more spectacular. Finally, I certainly haven't heard bad things about 3d gaming although experiences seem to vary. But I sure would like to try Uncharted 3 in 3D. Considering that I'm still using a paltry HD ready TV for gaming, I'm looking for something else.Quote:

But I certainly wouldn't go for broke simply for the 3D aspect. Other aspects need to be great also and I still veer towards Plasma for sheer overall PQ.
I dropped $2k on an LED TV this past October. ( I should post pics of my movie room in that thread soon) If I had to do it again, I probably would go Plasma.
I believe Panasonic's monopoly on Avatar 3D goes in to 2012, hence, you won't find it on the shelves.
