Seeing movies on iMax is impressive but I find that the screen is too big. I feel like I'm spending the movie moving my head constantly to see everything on-screen as if watching a tennis match.

You were hoping to avoid a crowd at opening night of the new Star Wars movie?
I figured the Imax screenings would be jammed and the midnight screenings. A lot of places are only doing later screenings tonight. Like I said, there was about 20 showings at the theatre and only 4 of them are sold out as of right now.

I think the Thursday 8pm crowd will be far more easy to deal with than, say, the Friday at 8pm crowd.

@sweetcell - Avatar has been just about the only good 3D movie because it was MEANT to be seen in 3D and shot FOR 3D. Most movies are shot with 3D in mind and then redone in post. The end result ends up being nauseating and most of the time totally pointless. Avatar looked insane in 3D.

Too bad Avatar is a shit movie.  I did not see it in the cinema, and did not love it on home viewing.

Yeah it got really shitty reviews and was a "Last Of The Mohicans ripoff" or whatever, but seeing it in 3D was unreal. It was like looking into another world. Hands down the best CGI I've ever seen. It looked crazy. I couldn't explain it to anyone else who didn't see it in theatres.

Sure, the movie is mostly shit, but dang if it didn't look pretty as hell in 3D!

Ah!! I've talked to those dudes! That sounds awesome!

PS that guy in the picture just got stripped of his title because of his rumored departure from New Japan Pro Wrestling and heading to the WWE. Such a bummer.

His match with AJ was my favorite of Wrestle Kingdom 10.  I hope both of them mesh with WWE...

Didn't think that match could live up to the hype and it totally did. Looking back, would have been great to have AJ go over Naka, maybe do a rematch [or triple threat] after KO turned on AJ. Have KO go over them both. Talk about making him look strong... lol.

Dearest nerds,

Explain like I'm five "Minecraft." I tried reading the wiki and just went no and clicked off.

Thanks, Jules.

Minecraft is "nerdy"?  I thought it was a kids game.

Right, that's what people tell me: it's like the video game version of Legos. But I don't get it. Like, you just make things with virtual legos?

Well, it's a video game, so yes, it is for children. Much of the "comic books and ... nerdy..." thread is actual "stuff intended for children that for some reason grown adults have deluded themselves into thinking they shouldn't be embarrassed about partaking in, so I figured this was the place who could explain this to me.
