April Fools suckers!
T4 footage by chuffsterUK	Mar 31st, 2009 07:11:28 PM
Has confirmation of the REAL Sarah Connor pic from The Terminator being used.
Tron sequel by chuffsterUK	Mar 31st, 2009 07:13:01 PM
Really not interested,original was poor,despite being groundbreaking at the time.
No 'When in Rome' stuff from Disney, Quint? by Pennsy	Mar 31st, 2009 07:14:03 PM
:(
Sherlock Holmes looks meh.... by TheWaqman	Mar 31st, 2009 07:18:52 PM
There are some really bad signs about this movie. The poster looked like garbage, it's like they tried to make him look like a pimp or something. And also Guy Ritchie is directing...I don't know about this film yet. Avatar sounds great, but I need some footage now, words don't do anything anymore. Terminator, who gives a shit? Seriously, fuck it. Beauty and the Beast 3D. Fucking can't wait for that one. Also Alice in Wonderland in Imax 3D should fuck us all up. That will be fantastic, as long as it isn't like Charlie and the Shit factory remake, that was horrible.
"I'll never give in. You killed my father!" by The_Man_Behind_The_Curtain	Mar 31st, 2009 07:24:29 PM
"No, Buzz. I am your father!" NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Waq by Quint	Mar 31st, 2009 07:27:07 PM
It's hard to say without seeing any footage, but the pics from Alice didn't feel at all like the crappy Wonka remake. Thank God.
Man.....fuck 3D by OutlawsDelejos	Mar 31st, 2009 07:32:12 PM
It's so unnecessary. That said, I can't wait for Beauty and the Beast to come back to the cinema, I saw that when I was young and it is still my favorite animation, now I can take my daughter. That rocks.
This isn't an April Fools joke, is it? by zillabeast	Mar 31st, 2009 07:37:05 PM
Very cool news. Can't wait to see what tomorrow holds.
FUCK 3D by BYOBkenobi	Mar 31st, 2009 07:38:03 PM
No one wants it, no one fuckin asked for it.
TheWaqman's post.... translated by The_Man_Behind_The_Curtain	Mar 31st, 2009 07:39:07 PM
"There are some really bad signs about this movie. The poster looked like garbage, it's like they tried to make him look like a pimp or something." TRANSLATION: I judge all movies by their posters. That new Star Trek movie looks shit, doesn't it? Have you seen the poster? FUCK THE TRAILER! Have you seen the poster or not?! "And also Guy Ritchie is directing..." TRANSLATION: I hate Guy Ritchie because he married a famous pop star and made some moderately successful movies. What a douche! "I don't know about this film yet." TRANSLATION: It's the poster, man! The poster! It's really confused the hell out of me! "Avatar sounds great, but I need some footage now, words don't do anything anymore." TRANSLATION: Where's the fucking poster for Avatar, eh? How am I meant to judge the thing without a poster? "Terminator, who gives a shit? Seriously, fuck it." TRANSLATION: Everyone else is getting excited for Terminator but not me. I've seen the poster and didn't like it. It's all about the poster. "Beauty and the Beast 3D. Fucking can't wait for that one." TRANSLATION: I have no idea why people think I'm gay. "Also Alice in Wonderland in Imax 3D should fuck us all up." TRANSLATION: Yeah, fuck that Terminator movie with all the explosions and robots. Bring on Alice In Wonderland though. I like 3D things. They pop out of the screen at you which makes me giggle. "That will be fantastic, as long as it isn't like Charlie and the Shit factory remake, that was horrible." TRANSLATION: Man, I hated that Charlie And The Chocolate Factory movie. It wasn't in 3D and the poster was shit. It's all about the poster!
Hey Chuffster by OutlawsDelejos	Mar 31st, 2009 07:40:02 PM
It's the 31st in the states.
APRIL FOOLS! by Riley Martin	Mar 31st, 2009 07:42:56 PM
Do you really expect the companies give 2 fucks about 3D? Ha ha haaaa nice one!
3-D is gonna be everywhere. by KidCthulhu	Mar 31st, 2009 07:46:42 PM
If only for the simple fact that it makes movies harder to pirate...Get used to it, haters.
Curtain..... by TheWaqman	Mar 31st, 2009 08:06:03 PM
Nice one. You just stretched out one joke in a really long post. I hope it didn't take you too long to write that one up. Embarrassing.
TOY STORY 3 SAD IMAGE! by AwkwardAvenue	Mar 31st, 2009 08:06:54 PM
Sounds really cool. Im a big fan of the first two.
Real life is in 3-D... by Biffs_Pleasure_Paradise	Mar 31st, 2009 08:33:56 PM
SO EVERY SINGLE MOVIE SHOULD BE TOO!
Quint.... by TheWaqman	Mar 31st, 2009 08:42:16 PM
thanks for the answer. All I can do is hope. Unlike Willy Wonka, Alice has potential to work well with a Tim Burton twist. And the Cat sounds awesome. I'm still kind of iffy about Depp's Mad Hatter look, but I'm sure he'll pull off the performance.
Ctrl + F, type Tron 2, and done. by Heckles	Mar 31st, 2009 08:43:31 PM
Seconds wasted.
wait what are they doing with beauty & the beast? by Bass Ackwards	Mar 31st, 2009 09:13:27 PM
Re-making the movie in 3D, or rereleasing the old movie 3d?
Re-releasing old movie in 3D.... by TheWaqman	Mar 31st, 2009 09:30:03 PM

I am already SICK of 3-D! by ShiftyEyedDog2	Mar 31st, 2009 09:40:51 PM
seriously, its a frakkin' gimmick, and it really doesn't add anything worthwhile to a good film. Only makes lesser films slightly more appealing to see. And it DEFINITELY isnt worth the cost. That's why I just kept my glasses the first time I saw a 3D movie. Now I just buy a ticket to a cheaper film and walk into the 3D one - NO UPCHARGE! but man, I'll really be happy when this fad dies... again.
They may as well call it Tron 3D at this point. by BobbyMcPresscott	Mar 31st, 2009 09:41:35 PM
I doubt whatever title they are considering makes any more sense, plus the fact that Tron 2.0 was an awesome video game sequel to the original already.
Avatar will fuck our eyes... by Kief_Ledger	Mar 31st, 2009 10:12:51 PM
Until they gain the ability to talk and beg for mercy. Cameron IS god
... by ThusSpakeSpymunk	Mar 31st, 2009 10:13:51 PM
Can't wait for all the AVATAR wankers to begin posting heated talkbacks going "This is it?" "Thundercats Ho!" and "What the ****?" Soon. Soon.
3D isn't going anywhere by natecore	Mar 31st, 2009 10:21:50 PM
its even going to get me to pay more money to see Toy Story 1&2 and Beauty/Beast. Also Coraline was a perfect film for 3D. Go see it if you still have a chance. Give me 3D all the time. Granted I've yet to see a non-animated film in 3D.
Glassless 3-D!!!!!!!!!! by TheFarkMan	Mar 31st, 2009 10:40:17 PM
I hope glassless 3-D gets here soon, even the new glasses give me headaches.
I thought Anne Hathawat was The Queen of hearts by Quin the Eskimo	Mar 31st, 2009 10:45:57 PM
oh well, mild dissapointment
THUSSPAKESPYMUNJK..You forgot to by southafricanguy	Mar 31st, 2009 11:19:00 PM
mention "fuck Cameron for not showing me everything now" and "THIS WILL BOMB!" ETC....You know...becos Cameron has no track record of taking big risks, and them paying off....sarcasm mode deactivated
Waqman......I actually kind of like the Holmes by southafricanguy	Mar 31st, 2009 11:26:06 PM
poster and i think it could be entertaining due to RDJ, but like you i dont really like ritchies style, and i dont trust him with Holmes. Also unfortunatly the script is nt too great.
and as the other guy did say by southafricanguy	Mar 31st, 2009 11:26:37 PM
you cant judge a movie by its poster....
The_Man_Behind_The_Curtain by BadMrWonka	Apr 1st, 2009 12:00:57 AM
don't listen to him, that was funny. the talkbackers with the most time on their hands to call out others are universally either the funniest or the lamest. you sir, are one of the former.
"also IMAX 3-D, which I believe will be a first for the company. by CerebralAssassin	Apr 1st, 2009 12:01:20 AM
Not a first! Who can name the two movies Disney released in IMAX 3D? Hint: the director of both films is mentioned in this article.
The 3D effect in Coraline was interesting. by Dingbatty	Apr 1st, 2009 12:14:37 AM
Some of it was impressive, most of it made me feel cross-eyed, or as if something were blocking part of my periphery in the right eye. Does everyone experience this, or does one need perfect vision? Anyhow, it seemed pretty much the same as the 3D I saw at Epcot back in 1986. It's really unnecessary.
Glad to read Toy Story going in the right direction. by GibsonUSA Returns	Apr 1st, 2009 12:23:33 AM
In TS1 and TS2 you could kind of feel where things were headed...the toys becoming irrelevant. This should be really good as now Woody (and Buzz) confront the fact that their kid is now grown. Glad to see this back in Pixars hands. I feared Disney would make a generic sequel with no hint of the heart of the first two and where the story was going in the series.
CerebralAssassin by BadMrWonka	Apr 1st, 2009 12:36:49 AM
Midnight Cowboy and What About Bob?
Heres the thing i dont get about all the people by southafricanguy	Apr 1st, 2009 12:45:22 AM
complaining about 3d, if you dont like it or it affects you negatively, then you dont have to watch movies in 3d if you dont want. All the big 3d movies coming out will be shown in both 2d and 3d. Thus as a film goer you can have your pick.
Is nt that the general idea? by southafricanguy	Apr 1st, 2009 12:46:21 AM

I wrote Toy Story 3! by Orionsangels	Apr 1st, 2009 01:18:07 AM
When AICN was doing the Toy Stoey 2 thread 10 years ago. I said the story of Toy Story 3 is going to be that Andy grew up and abandons the toys, now they must find a new owner. Probably not hard to predict, but aw well. I said that and its in the AICN archives somewhere and I think I deserve a writing credit.
Wait... by Blood Simple	Apr 1st, 2009 01:19:16 AM
where is LCD technology going?
Comments on Sherlock Holmes poster by CaseyMcCall	Apr 1st, 2009 02:20:07 AM
Everybody can see that poster is just a quickly thrown together piece for conventions so they can show something. A child can see that is not final artwork.
BJORNEGAR..But dude dont you think by southafricanguy	Apr 1st, 2009 02:22:48 AM
there is a reason why all the top dirctors (you left out Peter Jackson and Ridly Scott on your list of directors touting 3d) are so excited by this tech and are now all getting on board and making 3D movies. I have no vested interest in 3D nor have I ever even seen a 3D movie for that matter. But im willing to concede that the most of the top directors in the world know something I dont.....just saying

Passion of the Christ in 3D!!! by Orionsangels	Apr 1st, 2009 03:56:02 AM

Just because... by TheFutureDirector	Apr 1st, 2009 04:17:22 AM
A director makes "commercial" product doesn't mean he's inferior to directors of Oscar-grabbing "merit"; most of the previously mentioned directors have found a balance between artistry and blockbusters. Now, if we wanna talk about Michael Bay, Rob Cohen, Brett Ratner... I'd say those types qualify as the shallow, studio-happy, "commercial"-only directors.
If TRON 2 sucks...... by Motoko Kusanagi	Apr 1st, 2009 05:00:25 AM
...I will cry. A whole year long.
Oh, and let me add this. FUCK 3D! by Motoko Kusanagi	Apr 1st, 2009 05:01:07 AM
As long as I have to wear fucking glasses over my glasses: FUCK 3D!!!!
3D is not easily downloaded and enjoyed at home by Professor_Monster	Apr 1st, 2009 05:14:20 AM
with the projection and glasses = this is what studios are turing to it now.
Quin by Quint	Apr 1st, 2009 05:43:08 AM
Hathaway is indeed in the movie, but playing the White Queen, not the Queen of Hearts.
Quint by Sal_Bando	Apr 1st, 2009 05:51:52 AM
You're not on here enough anymore sirrah. Yes we know why. Still--the site suffers some w/you your Movie of the Day type contributions. You know I'm right.
Classic Disney movies in 3D without its director's consent? by Bodenland Unbound	Apr 1st, 2009 06:22:34 AM
Let the classics be what they are! Don't bastardize them!
BJORNEGAR....could nt disagrre with you by southafricanguy	Apr 1st, 2009 07:09:34 AM
more, just becos a director is a genre director and makes populist movies does not make them any less artists than the directors you mentioned. That is just arty film arrogance. I would argue that its harder to make good genre movies that appeal to a mass audiance while having those movies maintain intelligence and quality. The ability to do this does indeed make directors like Jackson, Cameron, Spielberg, ridly Scott top directors (if you dont like their work or what they do then more power to you my friend, but that is strictly your personal opinion, within the industry and in fan boy circles these guys are certainly considered top directors) I think (and this is just my opinion) that its easierto be vauge and obtuse or arty with a movie, just like its far easier to make really dumb blockbusters (Bay, Sommers etc..) Its way more difficult to strike that perfect balance ala the dark knight, Aliens, jaws, aww the list just goes on.
And i also think you are very wrong about by southafricanguy	Apr 1st, 2009 07:12:18 AM
saying that many of those directors only toe the commercial line. Did Jackson do that when he took a massive gamble with the LOTR trilogy? Or what Cameron's doing with Avatar (which is extremely risky) and those are just two examples off the top of my head dude.
Oh and just btw...those uncommercial film by southafricanguy	Apr 1st, 2009 07:15:12 AM
directors you like so much, many of them highly respect guys like Spielberg and Cameron. Dont believe me? Just check around for quotes/stories from Tarantino, Soderbergh, Danny Boyle, Kubrick etc concerning said directors...

Now if the stuff Andy collects now comes to life by terry1978	Apr 1st, 2009 08:59:52 AM
That could be pretty cool. Think about the crap you as a teenager are into, and envision it being alive....yeah.
so are we going to see a better quality... by Cap'n Jack	Apr 1st, 2009 10:29:03 AM
bootleg of that tron footage now??? Please?
You can't just call it Tron Disney guys! by kwisatzhaderach	Apr 1st, 2009 11:48:03 AM
It has to be Tron 2 or TR2N.
3D hand drawn? by supertoyslast	Apr 1st, 2009 12:00:27 PM
Assuming this isn't an April Fool's, how the hell is that going to work? Live action and CG in 3D - even where it was originally shown in 2D - I can understand. But isn't 2D in 3D going to look a little off? I swear that one day we're going to look back at 2D movies being transformed into 3D and see it as being as bad as colourising black and white movies.
LCD extinct in 5 years? by The McPoyle Clan	Apr 2nd, 2009 04:30:51 AM
What is going to replace it? Plasma is being dropped like a hot potato. OLED is still a high-cost wet dream that's been going on for at least 5 years.
goddamn, is everything going 3d? by HerbWestAustin	Apr 2nd, 2009 12:34:55 PM
I'm getting sick of Disney and their shenanigans. They shamelessly promote themselves all over ABC. it gets old real quick.
3D by laterator	Apr 5th, 2009 10:42:08 PM
I was wondering when they were going to do the classics like Toy Story in 3D. It's just a matter of loading the archived scene files and re-rendering everything with 3D camera settings. Probably 50% of everything that comes out of Hollywood is re-cycled material anways. So it stands to reason they would re-cycle a 3D animated movie in 3D. I like 3D movies. It made Beowulf more enjoyable than it would be otherwise. If it's a good movie, I would consider seeing it again in 3D. But, if it's a crappy movie, 3D isn't going to open my wallet. Especially since they are likely to drown us in this stuff next year.
I just found this out today... by jun2san	Apr 6th, 2009 01:16:07 PM
...that Alice in Wonderland was written by Lewis Carroll for his 10-year old girlfriend. "Why don't you have a seat over there." http://www.alice-in-wonderland .net/alice1a.html
