Saw Avatar at cinema in 3d recently...a few points

 - I wouldn't want to watch it in 2d, would be utterly pointless
 - There was a little pitter patter of applause at the end, something I havent heard in ages
 - The storyline is a little dross but you get compelety immersed in the effects and 3d...
 - on the whole is a very worthwhile viewing, solely for the 3d experience..


footnote...would be nice to see a 'US' film for a change which doesnt contain US army troops armed to the eye balls running round shouting 'go go go' accompanied with hand signals...

its really surreal when you get a round of applause in cinemas, it happened after district 9, and it was quite a loud one, everyone stood up and there was wooping and cheering.

watched a terrible film on friday called Donkey Punch. I got sucked in by the blurb that said something like "gratuitous sex scenes and hardcore drug taking". Terrible.

Does anyone remember years ago, when before the film started the curtains closed (after a cartoon or something) and then reopened with the main event and everyone used to clap. Them were the days.

What a good idea it would've been to keep an old screen running at the Savoy and you pay to sit in a bar cum cinema and have a few beers and a chat while watching full screen movies.

HAhaha. I got suckered by that when it was on film 4. I ended up fast forwarding to the 'best' bits then deleted it from Sky+/

you get that in the US all the time, for any film (particualy ones where a US citizen duffs up the baddies). God forbid it becomes more prevalent over here..

Yep, those were the days of very dodgy adverts beforehand, particualty the one with the leather jump suit clad lady, on a motorcycler I believe, showing a little cleavage!

Yocal adverts too. In Ciren we got The Jewel In the Crown Indian and Clive Ranger rings.

Nationally - "lick me, bite me, any way you want me, as long as you love me it's alright". The King Cone ad. Then Neil Godwin had to come in with the ice cream tray before the main feature started.

Truly awful film but some of the girls in it were rather nice.

I experienced it while watching a film in an American cinema. Well, it wasn't because of the film - this woman got offended by a scene and started shouting her disgust and stormed out after several people told her to go away.... an applause followed.
