    I'm pretty sure they make a new trophy every year. It's not like the Stanley Cup. Still, Steinbrenner might want to Febreze that shit. #derekjeter

    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 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

    When they taped the finals at Bryant Park in late 1976, they kept the designers backstage, supposedly so that the results wouldn't be spoiled.

    Now I'm wondering if they just did it because they were ashamed.

    Worst season ever. So glad they came back to NY for season 7. I only hope they found some better designers than this year's pile of stiffs. #projectrunway
