    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

    3-D 1.0 gave me a splitting headache (much like those magic eye pictures from the 90s).

    3-D 3.0, and especially 3-D IMAX, makes me vomit. Seriously, it's some kind of inner ear thing, I literally retch. #3d

    If the reviews are to be believed, A Christmas Carol depends so much on creepy motion-capture 3D special effects that the actual story gets lost in the shuffle.

    Personally, I'm sticking with the Mr. Magoo version.

    My dad loves Polar Express, but I felt it would have fit better as a Halloween movie than anything related to Christmas. For getting my Christmas Carol on, I'll stick to one of the two best Christmas movies ever made: A Muppet Christmas Carol (the other best movie being Christmas Story). #3d

    @Magister: Now that I think of it, how about the whole star system? In the very early days of film, the actors were anonymous. But then Florence Lawrence was promoted as The Biograph Girl. This was circa 1909. It's a hundred year slide down to Lohan.

He had these scratch 'n sniff cards for audiences to use during certain parts of the movie, which featured fart and shit smells on them. I <3 him. #3d

    @TheBusinessGuy:
    I watched a 4D movie (3D print combined with actual physical effects during the screening) at California Adventure where not only were you suspended in individually articulated chairs (meant they could tilt you so you'd feel g-forces based on how the camera was moving while filming), but they would spray a fine mist when the view was flying over open water, and they could spray different scents based on the environment on the screen (I only really remember the smell of ocean water and the smell of oranges). These are the sort of thing that work well for theme parks, where watching the movie is more about the experience than the film itself, but they kinda fall flat in a more general sense.

    Also, I once read that being able to smell what's happening on-screen would be the death of porn movies. #3d

    This season was just awful. I can't think of one redeeming thing about the show. Just boring, bland and dull. None of the final three are that talented. And I really don't know why they had a final challenge at all. The designers were judged by their overall performance on the show and not what they created in this challenge. Why even bother with letting Christopher and Gordanna make anything since they've sucked the whole season? #projectrunway

    I heard the next Project Runway season will start on Lifetime right after this one ends. They already have all the episodes finished, except for the finals (which will be held at NY Fashion week this February again).

    But I have high hopes that the coming season will be a much better season than this one was, for three reasons:
    1. The whole thing will be in NY again.
    2. Lifetime has already announced that Garcia and Kors will show up for all the judging this time.
    3. There's a good chance we'll get some good designers this time (i.e., talent + entertaining personalities). All it takes for a good season of this show is a good group of contestants - and the law of averages would suggest we'll get a few of them next season, at least. The lack of same is really what killed this season.

    So I choose to think positive about the future of this show. #projectrunway

    @MisterHippity: Me too! Tim G. said in an interview they had to scrap a lot of the planned challenges at the last minute because of the production team and channel change. That also must have affected casting, how they handled the cast, and just the whole way it came together, or didn't come together, shall we say. #projectrunway

    @MisterHippity: I fell asleep and I wanted to know what model got the boot, well I found a place that gave up the 3 names. I could not remember them so I went on their website and the shit drove me nuts because for some unexplained reasons one of the girls katyln or however you spell her name is not on the model page. This is the page that tell you when they got put out as well. Can you ask your connect at Lifetime what's up with that? #projectrunway

    I stopped by to remark on Gordana's big hairy vagina dress, but you beat me to it, so I'll just say this: they had to have been judging on the collective showings, because any other week would have seen Althea aufed for her hideous pile of shiny gold shit. #projectrunway

    @gerbilsoutofexile...is cheap and easy: And what about Irina's scary 1970's Malibu divorcee's gauzy nightmare? Worn with chunky black heels? Cause, yeah, when you throw on some chicken poo green swim cover up and belt it with the curtain tie-back you stole from the beach house rental, you definitely think, "Ima wear my Glenn Close in Jagged Edge legal eagle fuck-me pumps with it!" Ack. That shit was just awful. Irina is so lucky she 'delivered' (sort of) the rest of the season. Or maybe it was everyone realizing there's a good chance her family are Russian mob? #projectrunway
