  - It was brutally long. -- nm - pmb Jun 1, 11:35
Sun, it will rise soon enough. -- nm - nubby Jun 1, 11:26
Am I the only one who hasn't ever seen a movie in 3D? -- nm - Loyola Jun 1, 11:25 10
- I saw Creature from the Black Lagoon in 3D on campus when I was in college. -- nm - mara Jun 1, 11:35
- I have, but only 1 and it was an OLD SF film. It gave me a headache so I napped until the next film (it was a marathon) - TWuG Jun 1, 11:28 2
  - it's so different now. those old red/green glasses never seemed to work for me. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 11:29 1
    - I fear a move toward 3-D only releases. I'd have to stop seeing movies. - TWuG Jun 1, 11:36
- never seen a real movie, just a really terrible 3D imax film about a fictional space station, and some crap at disneyland when I was about 6. -- nm - mafic Jun 1, 11:28
- I have, but I'm not really a fan. -- nm - ty97 Jun 1, 11:28
- one of the first movies I ever saw was in 3-D - Reagen Jun 1, 11:27

[deleted] 15
- i saw Bolt and Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D. absolutely, positively worth it. makes for much more of an "experience." -- nm - kare Jun 1, 11:37 1
  - yep, i saw Coraline, M vs Aliens, and something else (?) recently. totally enjoyed it. -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 11:38
- The "Disney Digital 3D" is totally worth checking out. If you never have, I am not sure the first time should be with a Pixar film. -- nm - con_carne Jun 1, 11:37
- I'm not a big fan of movies in 3D. It feels gimmicky to me - no real reason to have it that way, just to make more $$. -- nm - kelly Jun 1, 11:33 3
  - And also a great way to experience your recreational narcotics -- nm - con_carne Jun 1, 11:37
  - i don't mind when it's the whole movie, especially animated. i hated in the last (?) Harry Potter where they did one segment at the end. - Andie Jun 1, 11:37 1
    - We did that for the new Superman, too. The Imax plus 3D combo in both of those was great. -- nm - con_carne Jun 1, 11:39
- It depends on how crazy you are about the new 3D stuff. I love it, glad I saw it that way. - TFox Jun 1, 11:24
- not really sure, I saw it in 3d, so not sure what would be different. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 1, 11:24
- I wish we'd seen it in non-3D. I don't like wearing those glasses for 90 minutes unless the 3D is special. -- nm - David Jun 1, 11:23 5
  - It was a wash for me with Monsters vs. Aliens; briefly cool but some depth/vocus problems on the edges, and more expensive. -- nm - Max Jun 1, 11:33
  - I find that 3D gives me motion sickness, a bit, because they love overusing plunging/extreme zoom shots. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 11:26 3
    - That depends on the film. I don't think it would apply to Up. - TFox Jun 1, 11:27 2
      - did in the preview. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 11:28 1
        
        Well, there ya go. (It just struck me as notably absent of gimmicky 3D stuff.) -- nm - TFox Jun 1, 11:29
also amusing: opening the front door sunday morning and finding a tin foil-wrapped tricycle on the front step, with a note from one of the drunken - mafic Jun 1, 11:22 10
- Are you sure it wasn't "aluminium" foil? - con_carne Jun 1, 11:31
- This is like a bird's courting ritual. -- nm - Reagen Jun 1, 11:26
- Are you sure you're not in some type of Truman show and these people aren't all actors? - decline Jun 1, 11:24 2
  - I'm never sure, but if so they really nailed casting on the new love interest. -- nm - mafic Jun 1, 11:26 1
    - They nailed the new love interest or you did? -- nm - psilotum Jun 1, 11:27
- Say it with something stolen from a small child -- nm - Roger More Jun 1, 11:24 1
  - in his defense it was broken (but I suspect he stole it and rode it around until it broke). -- nm - mafic Jun 1, 11:30
- ooh, lucky her! -- nm - Andie Jun 1, 11:23 2
  - I know! what a catch! - mafic Jun 1, 11:25 1
    - comeon no self disrespecting redneck wears a t=shirt with sleeves, its gotta be a tank top wife beater -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 1, 12:09
Spawn - I just saw NIN the weekend before last and they were great. - Guy Jun 1, 11:20 1
- Hard to say what they sounded like. I was just sort of blown away by them. (And I usually don't like new music). - Spawn Jun 1, 11:29
So then, my weekend wins? nm - Jim Jun 1, 11:18 24
- my weekend was so lovely on all counts that i can't really pick a best moment. but this morning sucked because - kare Jun 1, 11:32 8
  - that's really hard. - Stephen Jun 1, 11:37
  - I'm sorry. - pmb Jun 1, 11:34 4
    - i'm glad about the extra time too. so much more than i ever expected. - kare Jun 1, 11:35 3
      - That's how I am. Calvin wasn't given until Christmas, so it's hard to complain if he's sleeping a lot on June 1. -- nm - David Jun 1, 11:37 1
        
        it sucks that we have to do this, in the end. but i guess i have to remember to be glad we have the option to do it for them. it's the kind thing to - kare Jun 1, 11:46
      - i'm sorry too. - Andie Jun 1, 11:35
  - Hang in there, kiddo -- nm - con_carne Jun 1, 11:32 1
    - there's a chance her major slow-down is due to some new drugs and not the cancer. - kare Jun 1, 11:33
- wins for best or worst? Cause mines been pretty horrific on all fronts. - Stephen Jun 1, 11:26 2
  - though that happening literally would also make for a pretty unbeatably terrible weekend. -- nm - mafic Jun 1, 11:31
  - nm. just went back and read the IM of your previous post. - Stephen Jun 1, 11:28
- No chance :) -- nm - Shaun Jun 1, 11:22
- I'll bite...how'd you end up meeting/hanging with those guys? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 1, 11:21 4
  - Heh. Well, we had dinner at Drew Brees' favorite restaurant on Friday night. - Jim Jun 1, 11:29 3
    - Further...I think it's interesting that all those people responded to the post and you were the only one to call me on my IM. nm -- nm - Jim Jun 1, 11:35 2
      - Just remember....they don't care about you and your exploits. I however do. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 1, 11:40 1
        
        Well, it's nice to know someone does. -- nm - Jim Jun 1, 11:49
- I did the Nat'l Archives, Old Post Office, American Hist Museum, got super smooth new tires, and played poker chips with my 2 year old niece. - Max Jun 1, 11:21 1
  - and I give Up a B: not a lot of action but I really liked the old man's relationship with his wife. -- nm - Max Jun 1, 11:22
- Trent trumps Drew, but Meagen Fox trumps all, so yes. -- nm - Spawn Jun 1, 11:20
- sure beats quarantine. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 11:19 2
  - See? Should have listened to that airport security chick. nm - Jim Jun 1, 11:33 1
    - yup. -- nm - loosiflu Jun 1, 11:34
Hilarity is watching the local chapter of the democratic party try to debate Canadian health care over email. - David Jun 1, 11:18 1
- So really, you're just watching the other 2 people argue? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 1, 11:22
Damn. The Micrsoft keynote is looking great. Whatever they're holding for last is going to make me pee. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 1, 11:18 8
- probably odst. so far, not really that impressed. a lot of hype, a lot of fanboy give aways - tRuMaN Jun 1, 11:20 6
  - They need to announce the price, since I read that the campaign is 3-5 hours. -- nm - Shaun Jun 1, 11:27
  - There it is. OMG. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 1, 11:25 3
    - ODST. Looks great. -- nm - Mop (236 lbs) Jun 1, 11:33
    - what is "it" -- nm - Gwaahjo Jun 1, 11:26 1
      - It's it. -- nm - FNM Jun 1, 11:31
  - Yeh finishing off with Halo makes sense -- nm - eag Jun 1, 11:24
