Any popouts in Mario?

!wOw! Thanks, John! So in order to see the "Film Break" should lower my screen a foot or so below the bottom of the film? Or, does the aspect ratio change before a film break?

Got it. Trivial, but worth consideration; Maybe a separate thread that lists all 3D movies with FILM BREAK.

Exactly. FILM BREAK! Yes. (Frankly, I don't know how I ever got appointed and made it to, "Second Unit")

It's just like this. Tommy Boy never adjusts his screen to fit the particular aspect ratio.

It's not white bar letterboxing. But yeah, that's what I miss by running a tight screen.

When I watch a movie, I like it dark around the edges of the projection's aspect ratio, like in a theater. So if the projection is say more toward the middle of the screen, you'll see the white above and/or below the actual image.

I just pull the screen, fire up the flick till I determine the aspect ratio of that particular film, then adjust the screen accordingly. Most of my viewing is classic so the AR varies all the time.

Ya know...I think I may have been missing out on some cool effects. Every 3D flick I watch (any flick for that matter) I always adjust my projector and screen to fit tightly around the frame. If there's one thing I hate is the white bars above or below the screening. So when people describe the...

How did that hold up?

Anybody seen, G-Force? I just pick it up. Haven't seen it yet. Looks like a whirl of a roller coaster ride.

Just ordered it. Kinda excited. It's the pop-outs, peeps. All about the pop-outs!

Buddy of mine dodged his head and ended up cracking his skull on a shelf. Funniest. Thing. Ever.

So true. But the shots they did get right...

For all encompassing components, I'd ditto that list. I'd probably rotate in and out most anything from 3DFA - golden era, classics. For sheer 3D; Thunder and The House of Magic, Sammy's Adventures / TT2, The Bubble, Comin' At Ya! Anyone else care to chime in with your favs?

What's your two or three all time favorites?

Seriously, dude. In 1982, Arnold couldn't act his way out of a gym bag.

Did somebody say, "unnecessary 3D effects"? I'm already intrigued. Crap! Am I actually reconsidering?

The reviews I've read about it have been nothing less than scathing. I haven't bought it...And I'm a big sword & sandal guy so, there's that. I wouldn't mind hearing any other takes on it. I'd love to buy it. But if it's utter dog vomit, nadda.

Filet mignon for potted meat?

My great grandmother had a saying anytime you bought something and got stuck with a lousy product. She'd say; "You got hosed".

Oh...I thought you said, sip.

Likewise.

Thanks for these quickie reviews, John. I note every one.

Why did you choose that one instead of the region free one from Spain?

It's like my Sword & Sandal fandom days. I bought everything of the classic 60's era with Hercules, Samson, Ercole, Maciste, Sinbad, Atlas, etc. Then, I realized about half the DVDs I bought were dub & dump, and just SUCKED. I got the'ol Alpha Video hosing. Royally.

All the differing opinions are what make the forum fun. Thank you for posting. I'm very, very sorry to hear about your mother-in-law.

Yea...That's not it. No way.

Just to clarify: "a low-quality analog copy" Does that mean, anaglyph?

I'm happy to see a 3D release, but leery. Very. I haven't heard a thing about this coming out. Nay a peep. I'm guessing Bob & Company had nothing to do with the restoration. So, who did?
