Wouldn't it be... matasen? Or something like that? My spanish isn't as good as yours, but "matamos" sounds like 1st person, plural, past tense, "we killed".

I'll have one of these, the only thing I can drink and get really pissed and not have a headache or throw up or dance "Hava Nagila" naked with my tie on my forehead.

looking around a bit I found out about Cameron doing his new CG movie in 3D.... But what I caught at the end:
"... I know I'm making a film for an audience. I can't just please myself." imagine the possibilities if GL gave a damn about you?


As far as I know, there are 3 ways of seeing a 3D film. I might be wrong and I might be forgeting some other method, but...

1- The red-green or red-blue googles. This was the first method used in 3d films. One projector showed a red-colored image, the other showed a blue or green image. If you look at a red image thru a red-colored plastic, you won't be able to see a thing, but the green or blue image will appear to be black. Same goes for the other color, which will be at the other eye. By using two different colors in each eye, the viewer would eventually have his eyes tired, and even get headaches. It was popular during the 50s but I don't think this method is used anymore.

2- The polarized googles. These came out during the 60s or 70s, and it's quite simple: each of the polarized glasses filter one form of light, in a way that if you put the two lenses together, light won't be able to pass thru. Both projectors are equipped with similar lenses, so one eye will only be able to see what one projector is showing. Of course, this method is not perfect and some light from the wrong projector can "leak" into one of the lenses, creating a "ghost" image. Yes, more headaches.

3- The "eletronic" way. This one is rare, and I haven't seen a movie in this format yet. Basically, you have googles with LCD lenses that shuts down one of the eyes at a time, 24 times a second. There are two projectors, and they are in synch with the googles, showing one image at a time, from the left eye perspective, and then from the right eye perspective. You'll have a nice, smooth 3D effect with this one, although I'm not sure about collateral effects such as headaches and tired eyesight.

I didn't like it because:

1- I did not read the books, although I was familiar with the storyline and some of the characters. I did read half of the hobbit.

2- The plot was confusing, the characters weren't pretty much developed (except Golum/Smeagol), it was hard to know what was going on if you didn't read the books.

3- Some friends of mine, who are Tolkien fans and read the books, told me they hated the way P.J. changed the story.

4- It was too long, and not very well paced to cope with that length. Titanic is a 3 and a half hour movie but you don't feel like it's that long. Same for Godfather II, Schindler's List, and other good 3 hours + films. At the last 10 minutes of ROTK, the whole audience was screaming "the end! the end!", and so was I.

5- Elijah Wood. That says enough. The only 2 films he tried to act were "Radio Flyer" and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".

I think Peter Jackson should go back to what he's best: funny gore films, such as Brain Dead (aka Dead Alive). "I kick arse for the lord!"
