Been staying in more often, so my projector's gotten some use.

Ted 2 was just stupid. I laugh at about 10% of MacFarlane's gags these days. We didn't even finish it.

Tomorrowland had some fun ideas and looked magnificent, but was really preachy. Not the worst thing for a kids movie. 12 year old me would have loved it.

Hadn't watched Fight Club in a few years. Still so entertaining.

Dredd 3D. So, so fun. Karl Urban has a talent for being in films I enjoy. A lost of post conversion 3D films feel forced, but this one felt pretty natural.

Saw "Black Mass". Really enjoyed it, although after seeing this and "August Osage County" it's safe to say that under no circumstances should Benedict Cumberbatch ever try to reproduce an American accent of any sort.

I actually read an interview with a linguistics professor from the Boston area that praised his accent, and said it was pretty much spot on for the particular area the guy was from and the ambiguity of his education and social position.

I am not a professor of linguistics but I thought he sounded goofy.

Anyway, Depp was goddamn creepy in that role. Liked the movie. Think I'm gonna download the book tonight.

Jason Blum (B-horror movie maker) on the 3 rules of making a cheap movie

Not too many locations,
Not too many speaking parts (every extra that speaks-i.e. a waiter in a scene -gets paid extra $400)
Every one works for the minimum up front - with backend royalty potential

I went to see "Everest" on the 3D IMAX last night. I really wanted to see it in this format and yesterday was the last day in IMAX. I thought it was really well done and seeing it like that was definitely worth it. Seeing it in 2D on a regular screen wouldn't do it justice and would lessen the enjoyment IMO. The size of the mountain really came through in this format. I am one who doesn't handle heights well and there definitely were some uneasy moments for me.
