It's not the size to me.  It's the clarity,  the clear view to see the screen and the larger seats that is appealing to me.  To be honest,  I'd rather not have the 3D.

3D is shit. Cheap gimmick, and worse picture quality due to the technology.

I've never watched a 3D movie at the cinema, and don't plan to.
Looking at screenings for Star Wars on the first two days, it appears there's exactly the same number in 2D as there are in 3D.

I have exactly 0 interest in seeing this in 3D.

I'm paying to see the film.

I've no interest in paying 33% extra JUST to give the film studio more money. 3D adds precisely fuck all.

The only 3D that I do go to nowadays is the odd IMAX screening, but if it's actually shot in 3D, then I'm interested.  X-Men Apocalypse is the only one in 2016 that has any consequence for me.  Nothing in 2015 was.

I especially wouldn't bother with a post-convert (which is probably still the majority of movies, including Star Wars), but even for a movie shot natively in 3D, the technology isn't good.

Let me clarify.  All the non 3D showings were sold out.  So I had no choice to take the 3D showing.  I would rather not myself.

Morning. I only just got on my computer, at midnight. My monitor hood arrived today, which I set up but I'm only just using now. Not bad. Not sure it's worth $85, but it helps.

Does it have a flat bill with the stickers still on it tilted to the side?  If so, I would punch it.

Can't say I've ever wanted a cinema screen to be bigger. If we can we pay a bit more for the "Xtreme Screen", which I guess is supposed to be larger, but we only do it because it has nicer seats, and it has rows of 2 off to the side, so there's no risk of being next to people, plus they have cupholders, which we use for candy.

We have a chain of movie theaters here that serve food at your seats before the movie starts. You get these massive recliners and a really kick ass menu. The theater holds only about 50 people too and they serve booze so it's 21 and over.

Also speaking of movies, I saw the last Hunger Games movie yesterday, didn't care for it but my gf enjoyed it.

Morning gang.

And they seem to be getting better which bodes well heading into the playoffs.

Nice. Not that I drink, or would pay cinema prices for anything though. We always smuggle in our own candy.
Our cinema is never filled, usually only about 20 people. We had no problem booking tickets for opening day at 10pm (or earlier times, but 10pm was the most convenient time). It's the first official day of school holidays here, so I imagine the day screenings will be packed.

Yes, they have been getting better each week, which is kind of rare in the NFL.  They are worlds better than they were at the beginning of the season.

We did lose a player for the rest of the season, but I think the defense will be able to overcome that.

Hello Mr. 13-0.
Feels good.

My girlfriend has been flipping out watching the panthers. She has been a fan for years and would go to as many games as she could when she lived in Charlotte.

I find it offensive to my beliefs as a strong sports denier.


It is truly sad that I am 10x more excited for a Star Wars movie than I am for a Star Trek movie. Maybe this was JJ's plan all along.

Well, the Star Wars film was lovingly made by people who have a deep and abiding love for Star Wars and truly want this film to be worth the wait and live up to the previous best the series had to offer, and the Star Trek film was not.

Both things are painfully obvious.

I've never been a big fan of sports but I will watch football with someone who is really into it (like my gf)

I also really followed college football when I was in school. I went to UF during the Tebow years so it was pretty much mandatory.
