Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 31, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 I was a huge Tintin fan as a kid but I've never even slightly considered watching it. 3D cinema is worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Lorne Malvo Posted July 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 I've only watched it once, when it first came out. I really enjoyed it at the time. I remember the motorbike chase scene being pretty incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted July 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 I have seen it both ways @Onyx2 and it’s still great. There are a few parts that work really well in 3D, but play out just as well in 2D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted July 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 Two things in this thread constantly irritate me; Hannibal's boner for 3D movies/Avatar and this forum's love for Ready Player One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted July 31, 2019 Moderators Share Posted July 31, 2019 I don't think anyone has said they love Ready Player One. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t help I love my films like I like my everyday life. 3 Dimensional. But don’t get it twisted. I think Avatar as a film is garbage, however it is visually impressive. Just like the remake of The Lion King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been plenty of praise for it, so i'm going by that metric. Apart from myself, I don't think anyone has said they actively disliked it. Even if some did, the majority of folk who dig it outweighs those who don't. Also, I am cheating a bit by lumping together the reactions to both the book and the film. 4 minutes ago, Hannibal Scorch said: I can’t help I love my films like I like my everyday life. 3 Dimensional.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 31, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 I said I liked it, I didn't say I loved it. I don't care about the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewster McCloud Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 When I saw Tintin it was a proper event - packed cinema, people wearing Tintin t-shirts, posters everywhere and toy promos in the lobby. It was one of the few times I've felt that sort of Christmassy sort of excitement when going to see a film with the ham and eggers and I kind of wish I'd sported a quiff. I'd read the books as a child, but wasn't particularly enthused about a film version but it turned out to be funny, sweet and great. In 2D. Who wants shapes coming towards them?

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted July 31, 2019 Author Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 Watched a really odd film called The Wrong Box last night. A black comedy with a brilliant old British cast, and Peter Sellers absolutely killing it again:- Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted July 31, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted July 31, 2019 I never got into Tintin as a kid, and don't think I read a single comic purely because I thought he looked like a boring gimp. Can anyone beat that for snap judgement ignorance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
