    In reply to These Are Your Excuses For Not Watching Mad Men Tonight
    It is completely de rigueur,
    In these times of ennui,
    To love a book or show no one knows,
    In the name or irony.

    But you kids who watch TV,
    And twitter-text, while talking on a cell,
    have the attention span of flies,
    still waiting for a school bell.

    And when the unheard of becomes popular,
    and instant gratification takes too long,
    you hate the very things whose praises you once sang.

    This show requires TOTAL attention.
    And a sense of history
    And so much more...

    Go Matt Weiner!!!! (And no, I've never even met him.) #madmen

    Remember when Charlie Brown goes trick-or-treating? Everyone inventories the candy they got except for poor Chuck who sadly announces, "I got a rock." Also remember how his ghost costume had holes all over it because he had trouble with the scissors? I'm now picturing Real Tears Chrissy (TM) back in Minnesota with his kite stuck in a tree crying "Aaaaargh!" #projectrunway

    These CGI-fests have a habit of celebrating the technology over the story that grows very old 40 minutes in.

    My ultimate problem with 3D so far is that it's not new. It's, like mentioned, nearly 50 years old... and they are still doing the same dumb things with it. It's still just a novelty. When you watch a movie in 2D that was released in theaters as 3D you totally know it because stuff is needlessly chucked at the audience and what not.

    Until someone figures out how to do something un-gimmicky with it it will always be just that- a gimmick. #3d

    @Sunshineyness: Agreed. Not only that, but you still have to wear stupid glasses to watch a 3D flick (or view one of those 3D monitors that are becoming quite popular amongst my techy friends). That alone will probably keep me from seeing Avatar in theaters, no matter how gorgeous some of the preview footage has looked.

    I'm sure that, someday, someone will come up with a way to project 3D on a screen without requiring the viewer to put on glasses. Until then, 3D's not for me. #3d

    @Sunshineyness: You know, it's not exactly the same. It IS getting a bit different. Sure, most of the cheap-o shit is just stuff flying at the camera.

    The better computer animated films or mocap films have succeeded to varying degrees. Is it a game changer? Eh... probably not. But something like Beowulf (an awful awful movie) had a very lovely pop up book feeling to it where every thing in frame was at it's own depth. Sure, they had a couple swords pushed into the lens, but the highlight was really just the subtle depth in every single shot. I don't think it's enough to change the industry, but it can be a fun thing to see every once and awhile. If only it were coupled with a good movie. #3d

    I cried at seeing just the trailer for Precious, and I was well prepared for the content as I had read the book. I dunno if I can watch the whole movie without turning into a puddle of tears. #themenwhostareatgoats

    I saw The Men Who Stare at Goats at a film festival. Huge disappointment. Your cause for concern nailed it, Richard. One joke stretched out over two hours of hit-you-over-the-head, broad, zany, tedious permutations. #themenwhostareatgoats

    I recall that one of the reasons sensurround was removed from theaters was that it actually made movies a little too intense. I remember seeing "Rollercoaster" in sensurround when I was about 5 years old, and I had to actually run out of the theater during the first scene, it was so scary. The seats actually rumbled as the rollercoaster went around the track. And I don't mean a little bit. It really was like one of those VR rides they have nowadays. And it was LOUD. Louder than any movie I've seen since.

    Reading the wikipedia article on sensurround now, they do mention that some theater patrons actually became sick, and there were reports of property damage.

    Say what you want about it, but this was one movie novelty that really brought it. 3D has always been kind of disappointing and lame, but sensurround was actually a little too much.

    also: after keith and crytopher, I'm wondering if emotionally unstable bottom bears in training come down from the flat states aren't becoming a new motif for the show - along with their sad chicken dresses.

    The real problem with Castle's innovations was the required buy-in -- most movie theaters didn't want to bother paying however much to retrofit their houses for each new movie. "Percepto" only worked for The Tingler, "Emergo" for The House on Haunted Hill, and so on.

    That being said, The Tingler is a goddamn cinematic masterpiece and you should all go watch it right now. #3d

    RE: Cindy Crawford

    She looked amazing, but she also looked like one of those art projects that you mustn't touch or the whole thing will fall apart.

    And while it seems like every show is always having the worst season ever, this show really had the worst season ever. We know that because no one cares about who wins.

    And! Regarding Nina's comment about not knowing who Gordana is as a designer, well, who are the others as designers? #projectrunway
