	The dance remix is very funny. Classic stuff. Mmmmm, Watchmen I had to watch Confessions of a Shopaholic last night and it was pretty awful. Personally I find this kind of thing insulting and degrading of women. It was about as funny as shrimp pâté and poor John Goodman looked as if he was about to collapse and die at any given moment. -----signature----- My Youtube showreel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsB1eBjUNwI FF-UK:L http://boards.theforce.net/Board.aspx?brd=10419 Monkeys are great!!

	New trailer out for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, check out my topic on it in the Regional chapter. The new Friday the 13th was OK, at least it had more of Jason in it then the original. But it's been done so much it doesn't feel interesting, and sure as hell not scarey. -----signature----- Amor Numquam Moritur...

	Watchmen has been given an 18 cert and has a run time of 160 mins. All good news Saw Push earlier this week and I can think of plenty of puns using the title of the film to summarise its quality. The re-hash of Friday the 13th was poor. I did enjoy My Bloody Valentine though. Far more successful as a 'nuts & bolts' modern horror flick. -----signature----- My Youtube showreel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsB1eBjUNwI FF-UK:L http://boards.theforce.net/Board.aspx?brd=10419 Monkeys are great!!

	Suprised at Watchmen being an 18. Not read it, but the trailer certainly didn't give the impression it was that Adult, plus trailers for it ran with lower-rated movies. Still, stops idiotic teenagers ruining the show, plus we have it in IMAX so adults are more likely to appreciate it that way. And pay the extra money for it -----signature----- Amor Numquam Moritur...

	There are very good reasons why it's got an 18 cert, which would be clear if you've read it. The good thing is that they haven't tried to drastically alter the story to get a more commercial 12A or even a 15 cert. This is an assumption mind, based on the fact it's got that 18 cert. I'd be tempted to see it at the IMAX. But it would have to be the BFI IMAX, not digital IMAX which is a bit of a con really (sorry Ritchie ). Credit to them and Odeon for investing in the technology, and it's better then no IMAX but ultimately it is a cheaper and inferior system to proper IMAX. I'm even less convinced digital projection is the future too with the problems that have been occurring of late. Still needs a good 5-10 years to get anywhere near as reliable as I'd like it to be, plus 35mm is far more efficient from a business point-of-view. -----signature----- My Youtube showreel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsB1eBjUNwI FF-UK:L http://boards.theforce.net/Board.aspx?brd=10419 Monkeys are great!!

	Hard to run 3D without digital though, and Disney have stated that as of 2010 they only want to make 3D movies. Cinemas without 3D capable screens will miss out then. I'm inclined to agree, everyone loves the giant BFI size IMAX, even if it's 70mm film is not as high quality as digital. IMAX must be as much about the experience as the technology, and all small digi-IMAX offers is a normal sized screen in blu-ray form. I'd go with a huge screen anyday, but since we can't fit one in I'll make do with the one I can watch for free I'm not a projectionist so I know not so much about how film strip projecting works compared to digital stuff. But I do know that when problems occur such as reels falling off then they take a long time to fix if they can be fixed at all without having to cancel showings for most of the day. The only problem I've heard regarding digital projectors is that they overheat, and that's only if you buy cheap ones -----signature----- Amor Numquam Moritur...

	3D is, if not already, the next step and lots of cinema sites will have to have 3D screens and equipment installed if they want to be competitive. Lots of sites do already have digital projectors which can be modified to run 3D. The cinema just needs to front the cash and get things moving which can take a bit of time. But it will need to be done imo, and Odeon have done well to keep on-track. The problems I have with IMAX digital are that it just isn't IMAX. It's just a slighter better experience then what a 2K digital projector can do, with the addition of an excellent sound system. I don't think it should be called digital IMAX but I think they're keen to expand their brand in a cost-effective fashion, which this is compared to the real thing. Believe me, digital has its fair share of problems, lol. The RAID drives failing is becoming quite common now, which results in the picture and sound freezing randomly which completely spoils the film. And you can't move a digital print to another screen to take advantage of high (or low) demand. 35mm provides plenty of flexibility which can help generate a small fortune. 35mm can have its fair share of problems too, but if the equipment is well maintained and you know what you're doing, then this greatly reduces the problems. With digital, you're pretty much in the lap of the Gods and I really don't like that. -----signature----- My Youtube showreel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsB1eBjUNwI FF-UK:L http://boards.theforce.net/Board.aspx?brd=10419 Monkeys are great!!

	In terms of 3D certainly the IMAX is superior in both formats. Bolt 3D on a standard digital screen barely lloks 3D at all, the characters simply look like they're forward of the background. The action isn't flying in your face so much. With the IMAX 3D not only is it clearer but everything on the screen is drawn to your attention, you really notice the 3D. That will be the selling point, especially for Harry Potter which will be part 3D -----signature----- Amor Numquam Moritur...

	Given up taking sugar in your tea, but can't get on with Candarel? Try Hotel for Dogs. I saw that on a free ticket with a mate who wanted company, and that was so fragging Saccharine, it could be used as artificial sweetener. Yeeuch!! I am planning to see Push this week, but only because it is the only vaguely good-looking poster on the cinema wall. -----signature----- Crowning Moment of Awesome – THE MASTER.

	Odeon is running a promotion at the moment offering a small Watchmen collectors book for anyone who buys a food combo deal. Seems a nice little thing, just shows the characters in the movie compared to how they looked in the original graphic novel. -----signature----- Amor Numquam Moritur...

	Well, it's taken 20+ years and 5 directors to get it done, and I hear it's been cut down by nearly an hour. Some say it couldn't be done, and some fans are sceptical. But we won't know until we see it -----signature----- Amor Numquam Moritur...
