Welcome to the show folks...
STOP THE PRESSES SOMEONE IN HOLLYWOOD IS USING COMMON SENSE!!!
Warner Bros. Pictures has decided to drop plans to convert their 2-part finale to the Harry Potter franchise into 3D.
Apparently someone at the studio had the crazy idea that the 3D
conversion might negatively affect the quality of the finished film. This is especially true of the Harry Potter series, because both the conversion process, and the glasses needed to see 3D, darken everything and Deathly Hallows will no doubt have many scenes set at night, in caves, and lit only by candles, torches, and the occasional magical glowing thing.
I am surprised that a major Hollywood studio would go for quality over the fad-based financial panacea that everyone in power thinks 3D will be.
There might be some hope for Hollywood yet. Not much, but some.
MGM OFFICIALLY GOES CHAPTER 11
And water is wet.
PACINO IS THE SPECTOR
No, the venerable actor Al Pacino is not playing a 1930s pulp hero, he has been signed to play music legend/convicted murderer Phil Spector, to be made by David Mamet.
So remember Al, the key word is ABC- Always Be Crazy!
That's all for now, if I don't see you before then, Happy Columbus Day to all you Yankees and Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian readers.

Dirty Dingus Remembers a mention:
ReplyDeleteOut of the director of the billion bucks making adult smurf film.
He intentional increased the ambient light throughout the whole movie so when you threw on the darkly tinted stereo "3-D" glasses, it would balance out to an agreeable level.
~of course, he was too flipping busy taking baths in the bucks to go back and LOWER it down for the NON-"3-D" Blu-rays! So we all end up with a BRIGHT as hell movie in our living room. Perhaps the Biggest reason nobody decided to go back to re-watch the updated version... I kid on the last statement~~~~
