Q: Why are blockbusters now only released in 3D for the first week/weekend?

All summer I've noticed this new trend of blockbuster movies only being released in 3D for the first week/weekend in theatres - Spider-Man 2, Transformers: Age of Extinction, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes...and now Guardians of the Galaxy. I don't want to see movies in 3D so I'm having to wait ...

Q: A movie with loads of love-making scene

I remember watching a movie where the lead couple are always engaged in heavy love making scenes. From beginning to end--only sex. But I don't remember the actors name or the movie name. Do you know which movie I'm referring to???

Wow - like 8 flags this morning

MrLore

There's got to be something to do about all the off-topicing

Like could we request that registering sends you to the on-topic page?

Or whatever it is that unregistered users do instead of register

Though saying that, the page doesn't specifically mention soundtracks and we've had a few of them recently

Q: Which place was Samantha talking about at the end of HER?

Samantha while leaving and saying Goodbye to Theodore,mentioned "It's hard to explain, but if you ever get there, come find me,and nothing will take us apart" It was answer of the question "Where are you going?" by Theodore. Which place was she talking about? Is it the virtual world or j...

@MrLore Well, they can be reasonable, but don't have to, that's the problem.

@iandotkelly Well, a user I had on observation anyway. The strange thing though is, that some very few of his posts actually make sense and aren't completely crazy crap. But if the ratio between rubbish and sense keeps as it is I'll dare to speak out the unspeakable: "I don't want you as a new user here!".

@ChristianRau - that user has been on here before with meaningless babble questions - la la lalalala etc

@ChristianRau Per the site's request that we not carry on prolonged discussions in the comments, I agree with you that movies only being in 3D wouldn't stop me personally from seeing them. But then again that's also why I got a job working for a theater, so I don't have to pay to see movies. :P

Napoleon Wilson

@MattD Well, your efforts of moving it to chat in all honours, but right now I don't have much that I can add to this (apart from a useless meta reply that is). ;-)

MattD

@ChristianRau Eh, it's all good. I didn't have much else to say on it myself, I just wanted to abide by the site's request to carry it to a chat room instead of further comments.

Napoleon Wilson

@MattD Yet, now that I have seen more and more movies in 3D I'd long back to the times when they were shown in both versions even more. Back then I'd always watch the 3D version anyway. But now that I'm a wiser man, I don't have the chance for the alternative anymore.

MattD

@ChristianRau I don't hate 3D, and with the right movie I feel it's awesome to enjoy (Avatar, Gravity, Hugo), but I absolutely hate that it seems like EVERYTHING has to be done in 3D nowadays.

But yes, I've found myself opting more for 2D showings. Partially because I wear glasses, so wearing another pair of glasses over them can be annoying, though the move to passive lenses helped make it less annoying.

Speaking of 3D movies, a software update for the PlayStation 4 hits today (at least here in the US) that FINALLY enables 3D movies to be played on the system.

Napoleon Wilson

@MattD Sure, Avatar was a great experience since, albeit having a virtual reality lab at grasp, it was still a new experience of movie watching. Also stuff like Tron Legacy. But more often than not I just forget it during the whole course of the movie (except when they use some obvious effects), I just seem to be quite insensitive to it.

MrLore

3:52 PM

@NapoleonWilson except when they use some obvious effects It should be illegal to have that scene where someone throws something at the camera in slow motion

MattD

@ChristianRau I still laugh thinking about the time some coworkers and I learned that the polarity on one of our lenses was flipped for a month, but no one noticed because the last 3D movie we screened on it was Clash of the Titans, who's shoddy 3D conversion made the rounds so well that no one noticed it and thought it was just the movie.

Napoleon Wilson

@MattD Meh, I'm a PC guy anyway, I don't even have a 3D TV, let alone a BluRay player (oh I now, I live on moon).

MattD

@ChristianRau I'm also primarily a PC guy, but I got the PS4 for some of the exclusives, and so I could move my PS3 to the bedroom to have a Blu-ray player in there.

Napoleon Wilson

@MrLore That being said, seeing and feeling the ISS ripped apart in Gravity was worth the ticket price alone. That literally made be startle in my seat mutliple times.

MattD

Yeah, the unfortunate thing about Gravity, to me, is that it really loses a lot of appeal if you don't see it in 3D.

Napoleon Wilson

3:56 PM

@MattD That on the other hand I can't sign. One of the very very few new things I actually bought on DVD, and enjoyed it as much.

MattD

@ChristianRau Having seen it in 3D, I can't imagine not seeing it in 3D now. Same thing with Hugo because Scorsese plays with the 3D aspect so well.

Few months back, I see a title on IMDB about a film in which a doctor is able to enter into people's mind. FBI request the doctor to enter in a serial killer mind to find the last victim and it endangered doctor's life.

Q: What was the first film adaptation of a comic?

I've been watching Danger: Diabolik (1968) and when I read the Wikipedia article I realise it's actually an adaptation of a comic book character called Diabolik which made it one of the earliest comic adaptation I had heard of. After more research I found this article which claimed the oldest wa...

@iandotkelly If someone edits the answer into their question (taken from an answer to the question), it should be rolled back right?

Q: What movie is this clip from?

I have this short clip from somewhere and remember wanting to see this film again but that was a long time a go so I don't even remember why or if it was actually good. Can someone recognize the movie from the clip? Here is the clip: http://tinypic.com/r/f27bkp/8 From the accepted answer, the m...

@MrLore - there's no reason to have an answer edited into a question

So yes, I would either roll that back or re-edit to remove the content form the answer

MrLore

Cool cheers, I can't say as I've ever seen that happen except when someone new works out the answer themselves and edits it in.
