Matt C 455 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 After the very successful re-release of Lion King 3D (and Disney's subsequent announcement of four 3D re-releases for next year and 2013), it appears that 2012 will have more (3D) re-releases than expected.2012Beauty and the Beast - January 13The Phantom Menace - February 10Titanic - April 6Finding Nemo - September 142013Monsters, Inc. - January 18The Little Mermaid - September 13I have a feeling more and more studios will jump on the 3D re-release bandwagon if Phantom Menace and Titanic have successful re-release runs.What do you guys think?

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I would presume that especially Finding Nemo will look great in 3D, if they make the underwater landscapes look really immersive (which they already do to a great extent in the 2D version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Couldn't. You couldn't care less.no, you're wrong. I said what I mean, could care less, it's a recognized American colloquialism.

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 If by "American colloquialism" you mean "collection of words that make speakers of English outside America cringe," then yes, it is certainly an American colloquialism."I could care less" is the present-day contracted form of "it would be impossible for me to care less than I do because I do not care at all." However, that phrase is far too verbose for conversation, and Americans, being the lazy snobs that we are, cut out too many key words to yield "I could care less."It is most commonly taken sarcastically, so "I could care less" actually means "I couldn't care less," but somehow that extra "n't" is too nerdy to say in American slang.If taken literally, it asks the question, "If you could care less, then why don't you?" And means nothing. Usually people who say "I could care less" and mean exactly that have some kind of fundamental educational defect with their own language.I was going to be cute and post what the Urban Dictionary says, but I won't. Instead, I'll stay classy. Which is correct: I could care less or I couldn't care less?The expression I could not care less originally meant 'it would be impossible for me to care less than I do because I do not care at all'. It was originally a British saying and came to the US in the 1950s. It is senseless to transform it into the now-common I could care less. If you could care less, that means you care at least a little. The original is quite sarcastic and the other form is clearly nonsense. The inverted form I could care less was coined in the US and is found only here, recorded in print by 1966. The question is, something caused the negative to vanish even while the original form of the expression was still very much in vogue and available for comparison - so what was it? There are other American English expressions that have a similar sarcastic inversion of an apparent sense, such as Tell me about it!, which usually means 'Don't tell me about it, because I know all about it already'. The Yiddish I should be so lucky!, in which the real sense is often 'I have no hope of being so lucky', has a similar stress pattern with the same sarcastic inversion of meaning as does I could care less.http://dictionary1.classic.reference.com/help/faq/language/g09.htmlI made sure of my facts before I said anything last night, mostly because I was bored.Grammar nazi? Surprised you didn't go all the way and compare me to Hitler, Hank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeinAR 1,949 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 the limey needs to know this, I could care less. shove that up your queens ole dried up twat.no I will not compare you to Hitler. Despite being Evil he was much smarter than you and not as anal.However since you're needing to express your superiority and your bums need to be scratched, I make this proposal. Why don't you write my posts for me. Tell me what to say when to say, and why. Granted I do get some right of refusal or use of ad libs on occasion, sort of like a quarterback audible. You know like sharks don't eat people except or the 14 people who have gotten eaten this year, and numerous others who just got munched on.

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'm pretty sure that nobody was able to get you to "stop being gay" when you were young, and since you're 51 now and are with a guy you love, you probably shouldn't stop now simply on account of someone who will never amount to more than a belligerent little cur in a browser window that you probably wouldn't even want to have a beer with. And probably any comment about trying to get you to stop would violate the rules of this place about not harassing people based on their bedroom hobby. So I won't.

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Unlimp suggests "uniqueness as a leitmotiv for implementation."It's not a phrase that gets under my skin the way the other does, so I will offer no critique as to its proper use. A true national socialist of the grammar wing would point out punctuation, capitalization, conjugation, and spelling inconsistencies, but I leave those to the red and green squiggles.In other words, I'm just not going to ask how unique you were at implementing your wrist...

And I was being silly about a limp wrist since that's reserved for twinks, not bears.going back to topic, I've always wanted to see the classic film Dial M for Murder in 3D. Best of all it has John Williams in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Thank you for admitting you were being silly. We can move on.As much as I despise 3D in the theater and living room, I wouldn't mind seeing Pee-Wee's Big Adventure in 3D.That's right. Just for Large Marge's reveal to jump out of the screen. I don't care that the rest of the movie doesn't lend itself to 3D. Maybe the clown dream sequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatar was good in that format, but I'm not going to get all gooey about all these re-releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt C 455 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 I don't see why people would complain about a 3D Nemo and Monsters. It's not the traditional post-conversion that live-action 2D does, and all Pixar had to do was insert another "virtual camera" for their Toy Story 3D double-feature release. You won't see a conversion company like Prime Focus, Legend3D or Animal Logic in the end credits for Pixar movies.I've heard that James Cameron "encouraged" Paramount and Fox to spend $18M to convert Titanic properly. He screened 15 minutes of converted footage in Europe to wild applause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
