Aw....films we do like is a much better topic...
here's one I really enjoyed:

And this...unlike space I could probably experience this first hand
but I can't see me ever deep-sea diving but this sure was an amazing trip.
They were right too...I could never had imagined what they showed.
 

Has anyone noticed how annoying and distracting 3-D can be in some films (Green Hornet--not Spacey's picks) and how great it can be in other films (Prometheus)?  Have you seen any films where 3-D was good, bad or meh?

Will be watching "UP" , the 75th anniv. of "The Wizard Of Oz" , "The Great And Powerful Oz" and "Hansel And Gretel:Witch Hunters" sometime this weekend or next.
 

Di****able Me, eh?  Rated "S" for ****y?

Nice list, Spacey.  I've only seen a few 3-D's so far.  
 
Prometheus was well-worth the Imax 3-D treatment.  The effect was used properly during the storm and the "atlas" scenes.  
 
In Green Hornet, the 3-D stuff actually distracted from the movie.  In one scene, Green Hornet and his side-kick were talking about their predicament but I kept wanting to look at some shards of broken glass rolling around on the other side of the screen.  I missed most of the conversation.  GH was fun, but not a great movie with or without the 3-D.   
 
A friend saw the new Star Trek and said it was a very good film, but the 3-D didn't add anything to the experience.  It wasn't bad like GH, but probably not worth the extra expense over the 2-D version.  I haven't had a chance to see it yet.  

The only 3d I've watched is on my system. All Blu-ray and I can say
that nobody in my family has had anything negative to say about it.
 
I can't think of one of them that isn't totally 3d. The credits are even 3d.
I've had credits roll seemingly into the room and vanish in a puff of smoke
over the coffee table.
 
I've pre-ordered Star-Trek and it comes with a phaser! Look out!
 
 

The Saw and Hostel movies were groundbreaking - but not in a pleasant way.  Interesting concept and all too graphic.  Of course there is no need for a remake - tho Hostel 2 was "better" than 1.  Yea, I get all the cable channels.  Looper was one of those concept movies that didn't quite pan out.
 
It is really kinda funny.  Love Peckinpaw.  Graphic but pointed.  Many movies now are just graphic.  It seems to sell.  It reminds me of an arguement about the diff between Folsum Prison by Cash and M&Ms momma song.  'I know I can't be free" vs whatever point M&M was making, I guess satisfaction.
 
On the other hand, doesn't John Wayne say " Mighty white of ya" in Stagecoach, or is it the Searchers?  Couldn't get away w/ that these days.  That may be progress, but you couldn't remake Blazing Saddles either.

There was a lot of gratuitous violence in the Final Destination movies too, but those are different.  I thought they did a good job of making you think someone was going to die one way then doing it from an unsuspecting angle.
 
On a different note, I remember watching Burn After Reading which, supposedly had this "all-star" cast including Pitt and Clooney.  Almost every other word was an unnecessary expletive with tons of blatant sexual references.  It was if they were trying to set a record for putting as much class-less crap into a movie as they could.  I don't think I even finished watching.  Evidentally Hollywood has decided that it's cheaper to produce a winning movie stuffed full of drugs, sex, language and violence (the 'ol DSLV you typically see now-a-days next to the "R" rating of most flicks) than it is to invest in an actual plot with decent acting.

 
Why didn't you change the channel?
Lot of things that others may enjoy that I don't.
What others, outside of my family, feel or think about such
things isn't much concern to me.
It is somewhat strange to me that you'll spend time watching
something that is unfavorable to you and yours rather than change the channel.




Wasn't the only person watching so wouldn't be right to change channel. Might have been considered rude, like hijacking (changing channel) of thread :)
