Better than "Legally Blond - 2"?

I still haven't seen it, only because I missed the opportunity to see it in 3D, so there was no rush for me. I think it's supposed to be in DVD at the end of April anyway

I didn't see it in 3D, but the big screen is much better than a TV any day of the week, even for "regular" movies.

We saw it in 3D just last night, so you haven't missed the opportunity.


Question: The movie trailers have made it plenty clear that more, many more 3D movies are coming, therefore, WHY the heck would anyone turn in their 3D glasses at the end of the movies?

The surcharge for 3D glasses is what? 3 dollars? So why would anyone be paying 3 bucks again and again and again just for new glasses?

We kept ours and fully expect not to have to repay 3 bucks for 3D glasses.

The theaters will lose their audience if they gouge their customers.

Where? last time I looked, Grand 10 wasn't showing it anymore in 3D

Edit; Okay, apparently they are showing it in 3D again!

Re: Queen K
The $3.00 surcharge is not only for the 3D glasses, it is also to pay for the new screen that is needed, the new projector, hard drives, recycling fees for the glasses, and all the other little things that go with it. So even if you bring your glasses back (Which I recommend it is better for the environment) you will still be expected to pay the $3.00.

Avatar, with it's take of almost or topping 3 Billion, all in Theaters, should have paid for all that or most of it by now.

At what point do you think the $3 charge will get old for the movie going public and they simply don't need to see movies in 3D anymore?

*nods* It could be basically a cash grab . . .

"DEFENDOR"

Not a bad way to spend an evening at all. A rather dark comedy/drama flick that has Woody Harrelson playing a somewhat challenged individual who fancies himself a super hero, just the sort of quirky role that seems to fit him so well. I found it very entertaining.
