My copy of Robot Monster turned up about a week early. Amazon UK seem to pick delivery dates out of a hat. I think people are being a bit hard on Robot Monster. Yes, it's inept and looks like it cost even less than $16,000 but given that most of it is basically a dream, the weird changes of tone...

There's so much chromatic aberration in Amityville 3D that it won't be your arms and legs you have to worry about. At times it looks like an anaglyph.

Yay! Can't wait. Thanks.

Is Robot Monster region free? Blu-ray.com says yes but, as usual, Amazon.com remains coy on the matter.

I remember (vaguely) trying to watch this and the acting being so bad I gave up on it.

You mean pay the piper and become a pauper?

My mistake. Checking back it was actually £50-87. It was Gun Fury which was about £36. I really shouldn't buy stuff without looking at the exchange rate but it's just so easy to give in to temptation.

I ordered Flesh for Frankenstein direct from Vinegar Syndrome from the UK and it cost $49.99 which was about £36.

I saw it on its UK release. I asked the manager afterwards why the image was so dark and was told that they'd tried everything they could to brighten it up but they didn't want to risk overheating and damaging their projector lens. Many others had also complained about the murky picture.

I was about to say that on UK TV broadcasts the colour sections of otherwise black and white movies are often missing, e.g. "Portrait of Jennie" etc. Then it occurred to me that it's so long since they were on TV that I may have been watching on a black and white TV set.:lol::blush:

Did it have the opening title in red? It should have.

How can anyone not understand an English accent?

My mother had "selective deafness": she couldn't hear me when I was sitting next to her but she could hear a kettle going on at 1,000 yards. The sound on STD isn't helped by Sonequa Martin-Green thinking that whispering is the best way to convey strong emotions. It really isn't.

Same here. Best Christmas present ever.

Pre-ordered "Flesh for Frankenstein". It's 40 years or so since I saw it in 3D so I guess I can wait a bit longer.

I think Blood for Dracula was originally meant to be shot in 3D but lack of time and money made the producers decide against it. Pity. I suppose it could be converted if anyone wanted to pay for it.

Great news.

Is that the one where someone goes tearing around a drilling platform on a motorbike? I remember watching it without subtitles and being so engrossed in it that I forgot I was supposed to be going out to a job. Still worth it.

Anyone who can sit through Ready Player One deserves a medal. It took me three attempts. Even in 3D it's unbelievably tedious.

I just knew someone with a personal connection to the aforementioned surgery would show up. :3dglasses: :)

Colo-rectal surgery is probably more enjoyable than A*P*E*.

I have two lenticular counter display cards from around 1968-9 used to promote the release of the book and movie "2001: A Space Odyssey". Very impressive. The one showing the PanAm space clipper has the most depth I've ever seen is a lenticular picture.

If you can find original movie posters in the UK you're doing well. Official posters are the property of National Screen Services and are supposed to be returned when the movie ends its run.

The 3D in Bigfoot Family is excellent. If only live action directors made a similar effort.

I think it's called chroma shift.

After staggering out of a Sensurround screening of "Rollercoaster" in 1977, my father vowed never to go to the cinema with me again. I only persuaded him to go by telling him that Richard Widmark was in it. He kept his vow for the next 10 years until we both went to see the IMAX 3D movie, "We...

A*P*E* didn't change my life but it did make me consider shortening it.

Probably not a must but 2012's "Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-animation" is a darkly humorous zombie movie shot in native 3D with several decent pop outs and some creatively gruesome creature f/x. Andrew Divoff and Jeffrey Combs are estranged brothers squabbling over ownership if the family...

Isn't the opening sequence meant to be 2D?

Ang Lee's "Gemini Man" was a pleasant surprise. Although it's a ludicrously OTT action movie, the native 3D photography has some very elegant shots scattered throughout the mayhem. It as though Ang Lee can't help but find art in the most unpromising material. Even "Hulk" has some beautiful...
