Music & Movies

Some guy asked me if I wanted to be in a movie.. But all I want is the Blue Fairy.

I think they filmed me when I wasnt looking. Why?

Men are pigs

Well, given this is the movie/music forum, I'd be interested to hear people's feelings on Star Wars episode 2. Saw it last night, and was impressed overall. A little episodic and bitty in nature, but I guess that was just because there was a lot of ground to cover. I think also, we were set up very nicely to expect certain things, and as a result we will be or have been surprised by a few things. That's about all I can say without going into details. I'm mindful of the fact plenty won't have seen it yet.

*drools* I wanna see that, dunno if it'll be in town though. Our theater rather sucks, although they tend to get new movies with a lot of hype. I watched Episode 1 in a bigger theater and it rocked...there were all these people with nerf lightsabers & Star Wars T-shirts acting like idiots. Something tells me Episode 2 won't be as fun if only for the fact I'll be seeing it locally if it's here.

I don't know. I have an aversion to extremely stupid dialogue (for instance, the better part of Spiderman made me want to flee shrieking from the theater -- especially the opening and ending narrative overtures and the god-awful hospital dialogue between Tobey and Kirsten). I'm just afraid to go see it. I want to like it, and I'm scared I'll be repulsed.

Also, there are 2 digital theaters it's showing on in town. Would you recommend I see it digitally if I see it, or is that just a bunch of flap?

I hear it's just a bunch of flap. In test markets, people cant tell the difference between digital and celluloid. So I wouldnt seek it out or be scared of it, but I wouldnt wait longer or pay extra for it either.

Doesn't it also apply to the sound? Because I think it really would sound better? Or is all sound already digital anyways?

I think it might be.. at least maybe the THX stuff. The movie-makers prefer digital as it wont decay like celluloid does. But the projectors cost around $150,000 apiece, so the theaters are hesitant to buy them.

Also there are no movies for them yet.

Here in NYC, it's playing in two theaters (good ones, too) at the same price as always. So I guess I might as well. If it's worth paying to see, that is...

And Ebert (not that Ebert is an expert on anything, what a sap) suggested that the colors looked flat on a non-digital version. The thing is, it's not just the film that is digital, the whole thing was produced digitally, so it's changing medium when it's put on celluloid.
