Everybody is going 3D


I know that after the whole Avatar incident. Every studio is doing their best to go for 3D.

Many would think that when it's 3D everyone would flock to see it.

and what many didn't think is that, what would happen when a 3D movie becomes a flop?

Here's a good advice to the studio. Not all movies are good in 3D, not even every action movies.

Unless the movie is planned for 3D from the beginning. After a few failed projects, audience would hesitate to go in. and I must warn you guys. Despite the sale on Clash of Titans. It is clear to the audience who have gone for 3D, it's not a 3D movie.

So, one down 2 to go. with 3 strikes, you'll get Out. and a warning, the more the flop sales, would means the more the next coming 3D will not get it's audience. So choose wisely, which movie you want to do it in 3D and make sure the cinematography knows how to capture a 3D scene on film. if not..... I'm sorry to say you'll be losing more millions than earning them doing 3D treatment.

My bet of flops, if not done right that will really get the strike totally out of the court. would be Twilight and Harry Potter. The latter is already in the can for 3D so we'll see how it fairs in the cinema this summer. if it doesn't digest well, then it's bye bye baby to the studio. Don't misunderstood, I'm sure the Harry Potter would sell, it's the rest of the 3D movies that's coming in that will lose. and with this economy, people will choose more wisely after getting hit a few times. So out of the 136 3D coming in this year. I'm sure that not every person would go for 3D and I wonder which 3D will be the first to lose millions.

Before this, I thought that movie studio are great minds. only one or 2 flops in the good old days. now, 136 3D movies? You'd ought to get at least 30% of them not earning. and I wonder how many money from those are?

One not on the movie Loser. Not that the movie isn't a great movie. from the beginning the script, very close to the comics are already something that's best on paper not on screen.
the comics, is exciting because the "Kow" and "Pow" and "Boom" are already enough. but on screen it's a totally different story. And the angle of a lot of the scene are very distance and disengaging when someone shoot a bazuka or blow up a car. now a days, audience have been Dazzled with right on your face effects and gore. So the still so squeeky clean action movie from comics is just......... too clean for them. Surviving on humor? I can accept it. but most just leave that to long winded TV Series now.

People Keep telling about American Idol lately


Well, not that we are breaking the tradition that we talk about American idol every year. Though this year they makes a lot of changes. Ellen coming, Simon going, a contestant kick off and returning. But in the end, it is a talent show. and there's really nothing much to talk about.

it is all nothing when people say it is a show about training talent. Manufacturing them. in the good old days, manufactured band is to get the money when they sell CDs. but AI the show itself is a money making machine. more than 10 million viewers twice a week. and the telephone company is earning at least as much in Dollar with all the SMS voting. and the talent is natural or not. The show goes on. and who sell CDs anymore now.

But are there any surprises who will win this year? Crystal Bowersox, from the beginning til the end have been superb. As Simon always says, the others are totally in another class. I don't see who will win except her this year.

Well, then maybe the strategy the show producer should do this year is really to train the others to be better.

It's not like every year you'd get all the mature, enormously talented and rounded artist even before they are in.

As for Tim, many have said he should be voted off a long time ago. and I ask. Really? then who should be voted off after him? He is not really in the zone of artist yet I do agree. But, it is a singing contest with a popularity voting system. and you are telling me that that face, that physic, that "Smile" will not hold him in place?..... Well, at least until to Top 7. Some kids are already contemplating him being on tour and on some TV show. Like Ellen say, Good Job. He is totally in another class of his own...... on the outside at least for the moment. Not to be mean spirited, he does have improved since the beginning of the show.

Here is the reason that the American Idol remarks is less than pleasing this year. Because we are moving on to new Show....... Dancing with The Stars anyone HAHAHAH!!!!

Glee looks far more interesting....... Well, the Glee monster have evolved into a music singing machine now instead of a drama. 1st season, the drama, the comedy, the singing is pretty even out. Now, it's just plain show off. Don't take it the wrong way, I love the Glee gang. They are fabulous. So does the singing. But I think anything that is too much is an overkill and the 15 songs mash up in one episode(exaggeration) is a bit too much. and all the promotion about who's famous or not song is featured is just plain lame. Hollywood does tends to fall into a pattern 15 minutes after something new come. When it's singing that's better, it's all about singing for the next 50 years (another exaggeration). It is a show, a drama series with comedy. Get off the labeling and wake up Dude!!!!

Anything else? Oh NCIS LA is hot. Right on for the suspense. much better than the original that rely heavily on humor alone.

A Good Wife, love the topic, love the character, but hate the script. It's just not cool to be new when almost every idea in it is old.

Which is why, I think people are all going for TV reality fakes and real fiction nowadays. cause they are far more interesting than anything any (stereotyped) fat, old, bored, poor writer sitting on the typist chair can come up with.

And I myself have (sympathetically) resort to reruns of Oprah.

Like Barbara Walter says, now everyone are celeb. and there's nothing special there to celebrate about. Mind as well close it when it's still hot

I don't know if we should call it.... People are getting more and more simple everyday or lazy or habitual. 50 years back, people are righteous and loyal(regardless it's for the right or wrong reason), 30 years ago, people just got material and thought the world sucks, and there comes all kinds of different things and innovation and art and almost every 2 years a new kind of music or some kind of music get their name change. rock becomes rock and roll, then come jazz and blues becomes R&B and then they both become pop, and then rise of the alternative, and funk is back, then alternative are then reduces to contemporary rock. and jazz and Blues become classic R&B and rock n roll are just pop. and heavy metal are just Rock.

Now 20 years after, "Life after the tragic", the rise of the phoenix. The old have a time line to separate them from the new. and the new just think What does "No War" actually means. and there's the old and desperate, or romantic and enlightened, there's the new (that's not so new) that's angry and the New New stay young and don't give a damn.

Talk about Generation Gap. Last time it's about mom and dad saving money, working ethics is different. but still the new generation have some kind of "Work Ethics". Now, their world is wide, flat and small. Everyone knows about everyone's business. There's no such things as romantic of secrecy, and if you are not open then you are OUT. Yet everyone is so bored of the whole thing, they just want to be alone (Well, the enlightened call it a peaceful time.) I call it pissed off poo poo. The boundaries are all blur. People just blah out whatever they like.

There's no gap. Cause it a huge ditch and everyone is in it. and it's full of shit.

Well, in other words it's call Life everyone. Ask your grandma.(those over 70 I meant.)
