Each to their own but I bloody hated it (the film that is, I can't comment on the 3D), would have preferred a fully animated Yogi film. I'm dreading the live action Hong Kong Phooey too

I dunno, i thought it was fun. I'm certainly not saying it's a great film or anything, just a fun one.

I just noted in the other thread that DK has 507 blu-rays. Now that's an indulgence I can honestly envy.

And that's fair enough, I did not

Justin Timberlake pretty much nailed the voice of Boo Boo, though. He was a nice surprise.

Look, I just don't believe in lionizing some fat fucker who ruins people's days out by stealing their picnic baskets. I hope in the sequel he gets his leg caught in a bear trap and Boo Boo has to cut it off with a chainsaw. That'll teach him.

Yogi can saw it off himself, like a Yogi Bear/Saw crossover.

You can call it Saw Bear!!

I totally agree mate, i thought he was amazing as Boo Boo, really great voice performance and his delivery made me smile a lot!

Open to the concept of 3D certainly, just not necessarily convinced by it's current execution. The glasses in particluar are a real bugbear and sticking point for me. Once a glasses free soluion hits the market at an affordable price and without all the current drawbacks (like picture dimming from the glasses or eventual eye strain for some) then I'll be interested certainly.

That said if I was buying a new home cinema setup tomorrow, I'd probably plump for a 3D enabled TV & Blu-Ray player, just because you know, why not, they're so sodding cheap now you may as well, just in case you ever fancy a go.

Got Titanic 3D today. Am watching it in 2D today with Cameron commentary and will try and do the 3D tomorrow. Had a quick look at the 3D disc and what everyone says is true, it's an amazing conversion.

One expense I am spared. My crappy eyes don't get the full 3D effect. And I thought Avatar, for instance, looked better in 2D than in 3D. Though that could be cos of the eye thing...

ha!

I think the problem 3D faces, apart from outright hostility, is that it isn't "needed".
When DVDs were new I was gob-smacked by them, one of my friends was of the opinion "it'll never catch on, it's not like people complain about VHS". What the hell planet he was on at the time I have no idea and I told him so. I've always loved film and going to the video shop, but honestly, we all knew VHS sucked ass as a format.

Now I have a BluRay and a HD Projector set up at home, honestly, why do I need to upgrade from that. I don't. Not until I see some Super HD or Holodeck type goodtimes!

I'd usually choose 2D over 3D at the Cinema. I think of 3D as the necessary shit bit of technology we need to get through and develop now, to get to the good bit in a few years.

I don't have a 3D set up just yet (3D Blu Player is due to be delivered tomorrow, the 3D TV will likely be in the next month or so as I move house) and I'm not the biggest fan of the occasionally pointless use of 3D in some films. However, some films do utilise 3D well, Avatar may be a pile of shit, but it does use the medium well. I wouldnt buy Avatar just for the 3D, but I will buy the 3D version of Prometheus as it was used really well and it certainly added to the overall look of the movie. What does 3D really need to add? If used well it's just another part of presenting a story via some kind of visual. Slo Mo isn't needed, colour filtering isn't needed and any other number of visual techniques arent needed really, but they're used as part of the overall process of making and presenting a film to the general public, and when used they can all be very effective. I think if good film makers can utilise 3D in good ways, then im all for it, especially if the technology can be moved forward to remove loss of light or the eye strain. So yea, whilst I remain critical of it's often cynical cash cow use, I am at the same time open to it if used correctly. Plus, 3D sports do look great and that alone is the main reason for the upgrade. I wont go on a mental 3D Blu spending spree like DK, but I'll certainly indulge in some 3D.
