"Five Miiiiilllion" copies...


I don't know, seems some films are really meant to be seen on the big
screen.

Yes, but I'm not sure a feature-length episode of a tv show is one of
them. Sure, it'd be *better* on a big screen. (With an acceptable
audience, what isn't?) But I figure, e.g., the forthcoming 2012 --
almost certainly destined to be one of the year's worst movies in all
grownup respects -- is more of a compulsory night out.

them.  Sure, it'd be *better* on a big screen.  (With an acceptable

If he's talking about the most recent Star Trek, whose
production values totally sucked, completely destroying
any sense of being in outer space, I think it's quite possible
that it will look better on a small screen. It's the only movie
I've seen in a theater this year, and I plan to rent the DVD to
see the final 15 minutes that I missed by leaving in disgust,
and to try to make sense of the bizarre plot, so I'll be able
to compare the big screen vs. small screen experience for
this movie.

I meant production design, not production values.

Wonder how much of this is Viacom propaganda
to get people to snap up the "good" legal DVD copies available soon.

grown ups are too busy with dvd rips at under a giga, same quality,
educating themselves and building the richest cinematic experiences of
the last 150 years, by a long shot, therefore requiring better quality
from new stuff that comes out, not to mention patenting their brains
as intellectual property, avoiding advertisements and financial and so
intellectual drain, to abide by such theories, taking them, if
anything, to the heyday of enlightenment, like in the expression '70s
american cinema'.

you know, if movies stopped coming out, would it be a fucking problem?
wouldnt it just be an opportunity to bask in the glory of the already
made 100,000 movies to be explored. yeah, it would.
