- Kind of hard for all those dead moms to have dialogue. -- nm - Spawn Mar 8, 11:16 5

        Also missing - Snow White, Cinderella, Tangled. -- nm - The Wardog Mar 8, 11:49 3

  - Gravity is the only movie I’ve seen in 3D and it was worth it. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Mar 8, 11:07

  - IMO, Avatar is the only one I felt was necessary. -- nm - Inigo Mar 8, 10:28 6

- Speaking of 3D. In my sickness, went to see HTTYD3 in 3D yesterday. Our AMC messed up and didn't run the 3D version. My wife and I were the only 2 people in -- (edited) - oblique Mar 8, 10:16 2
  - Did you like it? -- nm - David Mar 8, 10:20 1
