Thanks to Avatars success, George Lucas is thinking of
implementing the technology used to re-vamp the
original Trilogy in 3D...

As long as he has Han "shoting first" and NO JAR JAR BINKS,
I say I'm there :)

this is a money thing, and that's ALL it is. It's a way of charging an extra $3 to see a movie (and also reducing priracy by someone who snuck a video camera into a theatre).

For any good that 3D does, it's going to be exploited until there is nothing left. I'm not sure I see the big deal. It doesn't make a better movie, it's just another effect. Only script, direction and casting will make better films.

I feel like Fact Finder..... I'm doing a "cut & paste" here........

Taiwan man dies after watching 'Avatar'

TAIPEI (AFP) – A 42-year-old Taiwanese man with a history of high blood pressure has died of a stroke likely triggered by over-excitement from watching the blockbuster "Avatar" in 3D, a doctor said Tuesday.

The man, identified only by his surname Kuo, started to feel unwell during the screening earlier this month in the northern city of Hsinchu and was taken to hospital.

Kuo, who suffered from hypertension, was unconscious when he arrived at the Nan Men General Hospital and a scan showed that his brain was haemorrhaging, emergency room doctor Peng Chin-chih said.

"It's likely that the over-excitement from watching the movie triggered his symptoms," he told AFP.

Kuo died 11 days later from the brain haemorrhage, and the China Times newspaper said it was the first death linked to watching James Cameron's science-fiction epic "Avatar".

Film blogging sites have reported complaints of headaches, dizziness, nausea and blurry eyesight from viewers of "Avatar" and other movies rich in 3D imagery.

Agreeed, but won't you still go buy the Rererererererererereremastered version with the extra extra extra extra never before seen 1.4 minutes of footage?

Too bad nobody could ACT in those movies. Especially the later ones. God, terrible.
NO. He's NOT Steve F'ing Perry. But he's Arnel F'ing Pineda and I'm okay with that.

That Natalie Portman was just pure awful in all three of them.
Hayden was no Oscar winner either.

with the script in some of them, you would have been hard-pressed to get a good performance even out of someone as good as Anthony Hopkins...

Probably so. The last one, when the guy becomes Darth Vader was the only one of those movies I could stand. I can remember seeing it in the 70s and everybody saw it like, 100 times. I thought it was way boring.
Never a big Star Wars guy. Some of the dullest movies ever made. It's like folks that thought 2001 was so great. DAMN DULL MOVIE. I'll take Wrath of Khan over all of em any day of the week.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ST: The Wrath Of Khan was probably the best SF movie for its time. Definitely better than SW and Empire.

Too bad it was followed by one of the lame "odd-numbered" Trek movies. :P

2001 is more then a movie. It is only part of the story. And, the novel is only part of the story. You need to read it AND see it to "get it."

No. I have one of the DVD sets or the originals. I doubt I will even buy the blu-ray, unless something happens to the DVD's.

If Lucas wants to film SW, he should do episodes 7 - 9, beforethe actors from 4-6 start dying off.

He was clearly going through the motions in ROTJ.

That being said, he was great in the other two.

I think he looked a bit bored by the third one and was
ready to move on.

No more Star Bores. There's not enough interesting stuff there for three more flicks.

I watched Avatar last night in 3 D. It was beautiful! Not to mention a huge leap for animation tech. I went home with so much inspiration I can tell you!

One redneck cracked me up...........as we left the theater he said, "Whoever wrote that thang musta been on that LSD."

Is it really a breakthrough? I saw it as a quantity-over-quality thing. Just imagine a bunch of Gollums all over the place.
