That's how I felt after seeing "The Walk" too - I thought it was the most incredible 3D thing I had ever seen, and was utterly shocked to read the next week that it had been shot in 2D. You would absolutely never know watching it. It does for heights what "Gravity" does for weightlessness and...

Adam, thanks for the compliment and kind words - I always enjoy reading your posts. (The recent writing on Star Wars was masterful and your Doctor Who recaps are must reads for me.) To offer a gentle correction: Gravity was shot in 2D, as was The Walk - and I think it's right to consider those...

I think we may have to agree to disagree on this point, but I respect your viewpoint. Maybe OAR isn't the right term, it's just kind of the only catchall I had to throw it into. At first I was going to compare 3D vs 2D versions to watching a movie in surround sound vs. mixed down in stereo...

Tarantino said he viewed the movie in 35mm, which would have been in 2D. This was a movie that was conceived of being released in 3D from Day One, and even though they ultimately decided to go with post-conversion to achieve that aim, in my book the 3D version is the one that counts as "the...

So Tarantino is an OAR purist except when the OAR is 3D? That's a little disappointing. But I'm glad he enjoyed the movie.

Maybe the U.S. releases are skewing that perspective? Terminator Genisys made a little over $89 million in the states, while Mad Max made almost $153 million here. And in the States, before the release of both films, there was an expectation that Mad Max would struggle to make money because of...

It seems like almost every title is getting one these days. I'm not a huge fan either, but there it is. I'm assuming they get more profit from selling a digital copy than they do from a physical one, otherwise why push it so aggressively? I wish a retailer who had presence in both the...

I believe that's intentional - I just read an interview with the DP John Seale (it's the same Hitflix interview that Adam Lenhardt linked to above), and Seale talks about how Miller requested the frame rate be manipulated at various points. Here's the relevant quote from Seale: "And the thing...

Early and not-so-early PG movies as well. "Amadeus" is rated PG and has nudity. "All The President's Men" is PG and has so many f-bombs it would skip right over PG-13 and automatically be an R if it came out today.
