True enough. Ketchup bottles making farty noises can make me laugh until I cry. Darlet #2 comments, "Daddy, you're such a boy".

See! :lol2:

Shouldn't they be "Petelet" #1 and #2 now? Or Ziclets? :)

True enough. I don't really care for Petelet. I kind of liked darlet 'cause it sounded a little like starlet. Does Ziclet sound enough like Chick-let? I'll have to give it some thought.

Well if you shorten pizzicato, but end it with an a so their gender is clear, you get... pizzas! :)

Either sausage or anchovy. ;)

Is that even possible? The only IMAX I have seen was Flight at the museum.

I enjoyed Dances with Flying Lizards.

Visually, I think it was one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen.

t-s and I went to IMAX 3-D.

Storywise, meh.

And I have some science problems.

But, it's so pretty I am absolutely willing to see it again.

Even if it is rated PG-13 for smoking.

Tickets are already sold out for IMAX 3-D this weekend, however, t-s and I may end up going to the regular 3-D show that runs around the same time so that we can join the Levys (darn, how do you make a plural of that?? Levies doesn't look right either) for dinner.

Oh, and you won't puke from the flying, rich. They shot it in such a way that it's not 1st person perspective, and the swoops are done with sufficient point of reference to require special cleanup in the theaters. There IS a scene very near the beginning where you'll feel lightheaded, but it passes quickly.

I loved the tree pods floating everywhere. It was a great visual.

I agree on the story line. Funny how so many groups are now making political whoo-ha out of it. Relax people. It's just a frigging movie with a mild message.

I finally saw it last night. Regular theater in 3D.

I had heard how unoriginal the story was, and it's true. But it kept my interest and was exciting. Formulaic stories are formulaic for a reason. They work.

The experience of watching this movie was amazing. Absolutely stunning.

I had no problems with the 3D and motion sickness or anything like that. They did a very good job with the 3D. I felt like I was on the planet with them. Watching the movie was like being in a really cool and really vivid dream.

My recommendation, if you haven't seen it, is to go see this movie in 3D in a theater, but keep your expectations low. Because it sucks. (See what I did there? I'm trying to lower your expectations. It's actually good.)

richlevy 01-15-2010 08:46 PM

I am soooo looking forward to seeing it in IMAX 3D. Yes, my expectations are pretty high. Nice try Glatt, but I'm too psyched up for this.:D

With the Fandango fee, it comes to $18 a ticket. The theater reserves the right to deny you service if they refund the 'full ticket price'. If, heaven forbid, they do that to me they had better make it $18 and not $15. Since they know how many Fandango tickets were sold, I'm assuming they can't overbook.

richlevy 01-16-2010 10:50 PM

It was pretty good. We got there just before the movie started and the only seats were up front. On the bad side this meant I missed some action on the sides. On the good side it filled my peripheral vision so it was a pretty immersive experience.

I did not get motion sickness, but Mrs. Levy did. She had to leave the movie after about an hour.

Wolf already saw Avatar, but we met for dinner. It was great to see her again in real time.

wolf 01-17-2010 04:24 PM

Tester and I went to see Book of Eli since we couldn't get tickets for Avatar IMAX 3D. We would have happily seen it again otherwise.

It was awesome to spend time with the Levy family!!

Tulip 01-20-2010 11:43 PM

Thinking of going this weekend to the IMAX 3D. However, my brother is advising against it. I get motion sickness easily so I'm thinking of not taking the risk of getting dizzy. Avatar in regular theater screen should be good too, right? Anyone seen it NOT in 3D?

glatt 01-21-2010 07:37 AM

I saw a 3D movie at an amusement park years ago, and almost threw up, it made me so sick. So I was a little nervous when I went to see Avatar in 3D. I had absolutely no problems at all. They do a good job with the 3D.
