Maybe Nike is making Supe’s suit? Just maybe.

Why we might end up paying for 3D movies even if we don’t watch them

I’m not a fan of 3D movies. I either don’t notice the effect or it’s not as strong as I expect it to be. It also doesn’t help that I wear glasses, so wearing a set of 3D glasses on top of them isn’t comfortable. Finally, I’m not a fan because ticket prices for 3D movies cost a considerable amount more than 2D.

But a recent story on FilmSchoolRejects.com points to an idea being tossed around by Joe Paletta, CEO of Spotlight Theaters: lower the cost of 3D tickets, but raise the cost of 2D tickets to cover the difference. So, basically, 2D moviegoers will be paying for 3D tickets anyway.

It seems some people are mighty confused by the cover art of “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” DVD art, pictured above. Some people are returning their copies, thinking the disc is counterfeit. Redbox has even posted a notice on their kiosks telling customers that the look is intentional, and not to flip a lid.


‘Game of Thrones’ tidbits: New promos; and a cookbook? Yes, a cookbook

The second season of “Game of Thrones” begins Sunday, April 1, and as that date inches closer, HBO has been releasing new promotional material to whet our appetites.

Recently tossed onto the Internet are five video promos called “Pledge Your Allegiance.” Each video showcases one of the “houses” (families) on the show, and tosses in a little bit of new footage.

The cool: Check out Stanley Kubrick’s copy of ‘The Shining’

Actor Jack Nicholson and filmmaker Stanley Kubrick on the set of "The Shining."

 

Love it or hate it, “The Shining” is a well-made movie, and is meticulous like much everything else Stanley Kubrick has made. I’ve always wanted to dive into Kubrick’s mind to see what his process is like, and thanks to The Overlook Hotel, it’s now sort of possible.

Review: ‘Kick-Ass 2′ wraps up with ‘meh’ results

Mark Millar has a lot going for himself: He’s one of the biggest names in the comic world, and he has a mile-long list of project ideas people are just salivating to see come to fruition. So it boggles my mind why Millar would write such a ho-hum continuation to his insanely popular “Kick-Ass” series.
