Dear American Moviegoers:
Fuck you for making The Lion King 3D rerelease the number one grossing movie this weekend, with a full 30 million dollar gross. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. The last thing you should be encouraging is MORE 3D rereleases from studios desperate to bilk more money out of their old titles and the other last thing you should encourage is Disney's ridiculous greed and avarice and bullshit "for two weeks only! Then you'll never see it again and it goes in the vault forever!" campaigns. You vote for what studios make with your wallets and you voted wrong. Like Palin wrong.
Again, fuck you. And a preemptory "fuck you" to Disney, who will now surely do this with all their other movies.

Co-signing this as well. "The Suitcase" was practically poetry - even the part with Duck nearly taking a dump in Roger's office. And Hamm was awesome in it.
Hollywood, I know you're confused because you like to vote for the same things over and over again and Bryan Cranston is not in the running this year so you don't know what to do, so I'll tell you - vote Hamm. Yes, Buscemi is in movies and HBO sure is fancy and I love the guy too, but...just vote Hamm. He's put in four seasons worth of excellent work on that show and "The Suitcase" was the cream of the crop. Just go for it, Hollywood. I promise you won't regret it.

I actually don't mind the Lion King re-release, even with 3D, because my daughter was too young to see it in the theatre when it first came out and enjoyed the hell out of seeing it on the big screen last night. That said, though, I concur wholeheartedly about the "NO, DON'T ENCOURAGE THIS 3D NONSENSE." To quote Jurassic Park: "You were so busy finding out whether you could, you never stopped to ask yourself if you should."

I'm...not opposed to the Lion King re-release either. I remember being blown away by certain scenes when I saw it as a kid, and I'd love to see it on the big screen again because my TV screen just doesn't do it justice (I'm thinking mainly of the wildebeest stampede scene.) But I do agree that the 3D thing is getting a bit out of hand.

Five years from now there are going to be an awful lot of very dusty 3D glasses on home entertainment unit shelves. I hope.

I like that you didn't hold back. Some things just don't need to be 3D.

My daughter said that the 3D effects in Lion King were actually pretty good - rather than the in-your-face-just-because-we-can effects of, say, Journey to the Centre of the Earth (thanks so much for having Brendan Fraser spit toothpaste in my face, moviemakers), Lion King's were more of the "layering" effect to make the image richer and deeper.

Exactly. It made everything a bit richer I thought, it was a good use of 3D. I was not disappointed.

But it's not like studios are getting an individual comment card saying "this specific use of 3D is okay," all they get is "a 3D rerelease of an old cartoon made a shit-ton of money" and then out comes Bambi 3D.

So it looks sort of like a Viewmaster?
