Avatar did 3D differently by mostly making it about adding depth. It is stupid that a lot of them are still going the "whoa look at all this shit pop out at you" route.

This is more a factor of the kind of 3D used
Disney 3D or Real 3D doesn't really pop out but it does gives more depth
IMAX 3D pops out but it takes the eyes more time to focus on it and if you move your head it gets blurry
It's not whether or not the 3-D is going towards you or away from you
It's more about whether or not the 3-D is only used for self-indulgent shots of things flying towards the camera as opposed to the Avatar approach, where it was like looking through a window
We, like many others, missed this news item as it hit late last week. Last year it was announced that The Mirage Group/Legendary Pictures were developing a new live-action big screen movie reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Could the above left image (found on LatinoReview) be our first look at the new design of the Ninja Turtles? It definitely looks a lot more realistic. Very similar to a fan-made real-life ninja turtle design we posted in 2008. What do you think?
Laird has previously confirmed that the initial discussions involved using “hybrid” ninja turtles:
As you may recall from some of my previous comments, our initial discussions regarding the next film had to do with what we were calling a “hybrid” — live action with realistic Turtles rendered in CGI and blended in. This new idea — which, frankly, I am VERY pumped about — will have actors and stunt performers in full Turtle suits for filming in live action. As of right now, there is talk of using CGI to do “face replacement” for the suits so that we can get those great, expressive faces possible with CGI.
The other ideas discussed was a “Batman Begins-style”, retelling the Turtles’ origin story. The film would probably include Shredder, April O’Neil and Casey Jones. In July they held an open casting call for Shredder’s Foot Soldiers/Foot Clan. Laird has said that they are planning to return to the roots of the original comic book series, so it will be interesting to see what direction they go in. The image above certainly fits that dark and real style.
Also, good luck making marketable toys out of that!
I know they want to make it "darker" but they are either kidding themselves or shooting themselves in the foot if they don't want to make huge action figure deals out of this
Netflix has started compromising with companies. They wait like 25 days to put some DVDs out after release in order to get more of the company's movies onto Instant Queue.

How To Train Your Dragon was my first ever 3-D movie tonight. The movie was incredibly formulaic but still managed to be quite enjoyable, and the 3-D was a little neat but entirely forgettable. I didn't really even notice the depth half the time.
Maybe I just don't got the eyes for it. Never wowed me all that much, when I did notice it. The coolest use of the 3-D was during all the cautionary signs and such before the movie, where it actually seemed like the signage they used was hovering above the front row.

I don't know, I still love the hell out of the first TMNT film. I like the style they're going for but I don't see how they can be that expressive.
I really hope they rethink this
I don't hate it

It just looks way too turtley
and tim allen was great in it, fuck the "hurr it wasn't good because of tim allen" club
oh and, Anjin, I love this post. So in return, you get this
Starting that rumor now.
it's from him doing mocap work at Activision. sadly it's probably just for DJ Hero 2
oh and go look at the trailer on this page, then buy me the DVD http://www.whenartimitateslife.com/rza/portraits.html
RZA in DJ Hero 2?
Yessss
But I was never really emotionally invested in the Turtles anyway so what do I know
also because it wouldn't be a new new Wu Tang Clan inspired fighting game
That's unfortunate!
The first one was very good!

and holy shit I didn't realize until I watched this video that the game was made by Activision so HOPEFULLY AWESOME
Better, actually.
The Wu-Tang game was neat just to see how Thrill Kill would have been if it hadn't gotten canceled. The answer is "not that good"
But the one with the Wu-Tang Clan is obviously better
Starting this rumor right now.
a kotaku article about it made a Call of Duty: Bobby Digital joke that made me spit out my non-existent drink
Crazy Heart is out on DVD, I know this for a fact
But Netflix says it doesn't release until May 10
What gives?
I'm guessing that's the case
Aw shit
It was fucking awesome but a hell of a downer ending
The original what
Which was fantastic
