So nobody really explained, what's this I hear about the "dots"?

There are patterns of red(i think red) dots embedded in films now. They are slightly noticeable to some people at the theater. If someone tries to use a cam to capture the film, the dots are so noticeable on playback that the captured footage is useless.

5/5 stars for LOTR from Kami

are we surprised?

 

[TheVrolok]

Man.. I just can't wait for that movie.

 

[Danman]

Dude I cannot wait until I see that movie. God, words cannot express how much I love that movie.

 

[kami]

N8Magic,

If you've got a little extra time read through the ongoing (for 2 months now) discussion at HTF here. It will explain the whole situation.

 

[Siddhartha]

Wow, the movie producers are degrading the quality of theirs films to discourage priracy. Why aren't they concerned about alienating the customers?

 

[theNEOone]

well that's good to hear, because TTT sucked donkey balls.

This morning I've been discussing the plans my friends and I have for next Tuesday.

We will be starting at noon and watching FOTR:EE and TTT:EE on an 80" screen. Then, as we have the past years, we will be joining the TORN Line party to see the midnight showing.

Then the rest of my friends pansy out....but my wife and I will continue our tradition and catch the first showing on Wednesday morning as well.

Can't wait!! I took Monday - Wednesday off work just for this!!!!

Nothing is wrong with it! I would do the exactly same thing if I could!

Whats with this multiple endings you talk about. Do they show them after the credits or something? Or what? Explain, please!

Yay! Sauron wins! Sauron wins!!!!



EDIT: I think the proper term you are looking for is denouement

de·noue·ment also dé·noue·ment
n.
1. The final resolution or clarification of a dramatic or narrative plot.
2. The events following the climax of a drama or novel in which such a resolution or clarification takes place.
3. The outcome of a sequence of events; the end result.

Why do you care?

who said anything about caring? i just want to know why anyone would take 3 days off in preparation for a freaking movie, wait in line to see it at midnight, and the go see it again the very next day! he's also planning on sitting through 6 hours of FOTR and TTT, two of the longest, most drawn out movies i've ever seen. what's more, he's no doubt seen the friggin movies 5 times already. how about you save yourself 5 hours and just skip to the battle scenes.

and his justification is that he has extra vacation time, how lame is that. wtf are you smoking, amish? how about you work those three days and save some money for a real vacation rather than spend three days preparing for a freaking MOVIE. jesus, since when have movies become a "vacation."

Well, it does not bother me, why does it bother you?

I'm going tomorrow night

I think you need to sit back and take an objective look at why you posted in this thread.

The fact that something like this even matters to you raises some alarms. Is something not peachy in your own life? There really isn't any other explanation....people try to belittle others to make themselves feel better. You're the one who has something wrong.

Now stop thread crapping and take a hike.

 

[theNEOone]

so i post how it's dumb to take 3 days off to watch LOTR and a bunch of LOTR fanboys tell me that i'm the one w/ the problem. yah, that must be it.

[pecel]

So who's dying and who still alive in the ROTK?

Well, yes, actually. There I was, reading through a perfectly normal, flameless thread, when all of a sudden you came along. For, like, absolutely no apparent reason you set the thrower on high and flame away.
Seriously dude, get some rest...wake up happy...and hope tomorrow is a better day. The choice of what Amish does with his vacation is really (seriously, really) not all that important to your life in the long run.

 

[trek]

I was thinking wtf 'ridiculous' had to do with rotk before I saw it. It's just that good.

Why do you care how Amish allocates his vacation time? You could use all of yours (assuming you are employed) to sit at home and flog the dolphin and nobody here would care. Whether or not you think it's dumb, it's his vacation and not yours. I think it would be equally stupid to take a vacation to go snowboarding. Different strokes, no pun intended.

 

[SaltBoy]

theNEOone is just miffed that the Matrix Revolutions... ahem... "sucked Donkey Balls."

<Glares at kami - turns green with envy>

And those #&$*# MPAA dots were blatantly obvious and distracting in "Master and Commander- The Far Side of the World." They showed up right in the middle of the screen (on white background) during some of the dramatic moments, so there's no way you weren't paying extreme attention to the screen.

They had better not be as distracting in RotK or I'm gonna kick some MPAA arse!
