You think for a second that Disney wouldn't get a vocal impersonator for James Earl Jones?

Never quite the same.   Kinda like getting a new guy for WB cartoons after Mel Blanc was gone.   Close...but something is missing.

I think the question is actually are the women nymphos for fanboys and box office nerds.

 

Which I can answer.

 

No. :apocalypse:

Fan boy with money can do well. Go to the casino in Hollywood,FL(near miami)in a porche. You'll get more action than a $2 hooker on pay day in alaska

Nah, I mean what if women were actually attracted to nerds.

 

Strong like a pheromone thing. 

 

Hmm nerds would probably be overwhelmed by jocks and forced to sweat into bottles for rich people to buy.

 

Nevermind. :ph34r:

Just got back from my 3D experience.......have to say it was AWESOME! At first I was worried cause some of the trailers look eh in 3D and I got scared that was going to be the case with SW, but nope! It actually made it look really cool, some scenes were just flat out awesome in 3D. Now I want to go to like, an IMAX 3D! :) 

 

Any updates in numbers?

 

 

You should watch Jeremy Jahns' spoiler TFA review on YouTube.

women leave jocks after their career is cut short and go broke. Then they wise up and go for the nerd, Its all about the money and shiny things that cost money. its innate, they cant help it no matter what they say.

watch crazy stupid love. steve carrel transformed from nerd to player. The lines and angles used were classic by gosling and taught to carrel. That and "swingers" are the textbooks. if you cant pull of the transformation, then go make 10m plus and they will listen to you talk about box office all day in your ferrari

No, you shouldn't. Watch any reviews on YouTube, that is.

 

Why?

 

And what would you suggest instead. :popcorn:

 

Edit: Nevermind, I thought this was the spoiler thread, sorry.

Nah, can't date gold diggers.

All women want a man to provide since the dawn of time, so become un broke because all women want gold sooner or later. no ring no vag

I edited previous post. and mentioned to Watch swingers and crazy stupid love for pointers

 

another thing you can do is work 3 jobs, save every dollar for a couple years and move to cuba. 10-20k can go a long way and a woman will love you if you buy her a $3 dinner. Buy a house in the country for 2k, make babies, grow tobacco. and follow box office.

I know a guy that was going thru a nasty divorce, his wife was driving him up a wall wit her attorney, he withdrew 25k and disappeared to cuba, he hasn't been back. He is MIA in America and living on a farm with a 22 year old hottie. Hillarious

Yeah, wouldn't that make sense?  Most shows per theater ever would mean higher per theater gross.

 

yes and no. Reading about how AMC could have earened 30% more with reserved seating tells me more per screening is still possible... but you could calculate the per screening details too.

But in the end then the cinemas too could and would have added sceenings, if the demand would have been that high. The theaters added screenings at partly insane times for a reason

Okay so overall it's not a bad experience then?

IMHO it is nice, if the cinema has a good equipment, the movie uses it in a sense making way and you are not overly tired or stressed before even going into the cinema. Or worse, already have an headache.

I feel you. Depends on the auditorium but even for our biggest screen, which is bigger than some IMAX screens, so a very decent size, if you sit on the back row it really is the same size as a TV screen.

 

the opposite is also true: you can still see the whole frame, just not at once. You move your eyes about, which means you're exploring more of the image, and it can certainly make you feel more immersed.

 

I'm the same. I have poor eyesight and I'm not sure the design of 3D works for me, as I can usually see multiple layers to every image, especially when things move. It's distracting, makes the movie look much flatter than 2D (ironic), and gives me headaches. With 30% light loss and wearing two sets of uncomfortable glasses... I'll pass. Only film I've ever seen where the 3D was worth watching for was THE WALK.

 

well, generally the bigger the screen, the further back the seats will go, so that's not really true - you can be in a massive screen and from the back it looks small.

 

As for "2/3 back is where the best sound is" - this is BS. Everyone always says this to me, but I challenge you to watch a movie 2/3 back, then watch it closer to the front, and tell me you had an audibly worse experience. Anyway if you sit closer to the front its louder so that can only be a good thing :P 

 

Are you aware about at least 15% of the world-wide population have problems or no 3D sight at all? In the past they thought it's only ~ 4%, one of the side-effects of Avatar is that they lopked more into that.

I don't always wear my glasses as they can give me headaches. :) I need new eye test but $$$$.

 

And I know lol :P I mean that 3D is so crappy for me that I just take the glasses off as it's almost no worse picture and it doesn't make my head hurt.

 

Try out the at least 4k per projectors in combination with good screen material, if that doesn't help

 

mini-strabismus:

too often gets missed by parents and so on. Means the brain doesn't 'realize' it gets 2 different pictures and does not learn without help to learn the ability to create a 3D picture in the brain/mind

 

Ever seen children with one eye covered up? = that is one way to force the brain to realize / teach it to use both eyes in the correct manner

Highest percentage / possibility to reach a high 3D seeing ability is, if starting to train at an early age. As in way before 6y old

 

Get your children early on to an ophthalmologist specialised for children!

 

As I was little my then ophthalmologist told my mother to do the eye covering thing, she was too lazy = I see only in 2D in RL too.

Didn't know that till I was nearly 40y old (via the ophthalmologist of my son)

 

Only time I ever saw / even started to get a clue, how all the other people see was during watching Avatar in a good 3D cinema. Means I saw a spear coming out of the screen, my son saw it flying ~ past him.

Strange how a cinema visit can give you a viewing experience the RL couldn't. Main reason I watched it 9 times in different equipped cinemas (bad 2k projector and being tired... beforehand gives me puke inducing headaches)

 

About ophthalmologists:

a lot are lazy and do not check for 3D ability

You have to be not tired, eyes shouldn't be exhausted for any reason during the check,... it can change the results and as such a lot of people wear wrong glasses

The guys on collider were saying earlier their local AMC reckoned had they been able to do completely reserved seating they'd have done 30% more business over the weekend. The long lines and people thinking they just wouldn't be able to get in or get a good seat has left people at home. Where as with Jurassic nobody expected it to be THAT huge so people showed up without all the hype of it being sold out/record pre-sales etc. 

 

Interesting. 

We've got used to complete allocated seating in the UK now. I think the unreserved in the US probably helps early shows where more people might show up than normal because they know they're likely to get a great seat with less effort. 

 

 

Wow to the 'would have been 30% more' part. That is quite a high percentage

But as reserve seating become more popular. People are far less likely be buying tickets way in advance. 

 

Here the reserved seating is the norm and we do go on short notice to the cinema. Picking which one an what time of date can start early on, usually the one suggesting i´the visit already had looked into possibilities and so on. You adapt your 'workflow/behaving tradition', that's all

Is it just me, it does anyone else kinda want to see a film that takes place in between ROTJ and TFA (that actually has to do with stuff leading up to TFA). Or, if not a film, maybe a trilogy of canon novels.

 

In a way Rogue One and the Han Solo solo movie are doing already that, I guess they are planing to do more out of that time frame already.
