what about those of us who process information in 4 or more dimensions and can sense 3 dimensions in their entirety?
can hollywood make a film that takes into account my place not simply relative to earth but also the sun, the galaxy, some theoretical position whereupon i might judge the galilean invariance of all heavenly bodies down to the most infinitesimal in size?
i want to see catherine zeta jones in "the lorentz transformation" - a c.z. jones that exists in all planes and times. so in other words, she needs to take off her shirt and stand in the light for a while.
We all had to buy HD TVs to watch old newscasters look older, now we have to pay for 3-D to watch arrows going straight into our eyeballs. Sorry, my bad (that was the 50s); paying extra to watch airplane engines falling out of the sky into our eyeballs.
Running times that stretch past 2 hours have failed as "value added" to the film consumer and 3-D effects to justify 50% increases in ticket prices will do the same...but more so.
Your audience is leaving you, Ho'wood, with your torn dress and lipstick smeared you just aren't what you used to be.
Is this the end of the $20 million club? At this weekend's box office, the top two performers -- Final Destination and Halloween 2 -- the *stars* are the horrific special effects and 3-D technology. Is this the rise of the un-celebrity? Can we expect to see a Captain America Vanity Fair cover in the near future in which the films star is covered up by red, white and blue pajamas?
Not sure how I feel about this other than to say, perhaps it won't be so bad. Disney loves a franchise. There have been 1700 Pirate of the Caribbean movies. And that could be lucrative for Marvel, but baaaad for the "less is more" concept of comic book films. but, you know, maybe I'll hold my dismay in reserve at least until they marry two woefully bad ideas, Johnny Depp + Spawn.
Wow, the geek whining took no time, did it? God forbid this leads to Pixar getting their hands on Marvel properties, because they did such a lousy job with their Fantastic Four/Watchmen mash-up, The Incredibles. That'll never compare to excellent work done on Daredevil, Elektra, Ghost Rider, The Punisher...
@Lincolnsbeard33: I disagree, but not for the reasons you think. I'm not focusing on the Disneyification of Marvel, but rather looking at the one other successful Disney property geared toward young males - ESPN. I fear the ESPNification of Marvel will not be a good thing.

So we'll have Disney and Marvel Entertainment coming together to produce quality DVDs with all new characters singing and dancing... Hmm...
