beowulf

[ghini]

I saw Beowulf in 3D last night.  All in all it was good. 

In the big fight between Beowulf and Grendel, Beowulf is naked.  Since this is a PG-13 movie, there are conveniently placed elbows, candles, swords, smoke, shadows and more to keep us from seeing full frontal Beowulf.  It got to be like an Austin Powers movie.

Just for the record:

Using CGI to make a virtual, naked Angelina Jolie:  good!
Using CGI to make a virtual, naked Anthony Hopkins:  bad!

They had a CGI preview for Coraline too.  In 3D.  Neil Gaiman and Henry Selick in 3D!

Yup. That was me, juju and Rutledge leaving the 10:10.

Also, I hated putting that Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D trailer last in the trailer pack. It will undo any of the progress that Beowulf has made in getting people interested in 3D. It looks hideous.

I think I'm going to put in 2nd and Coraline first and just have the 2D trailers in between, because Sweeney Todd is so much better right before you start Beowulf than crappy Brenden Frasier.

These are some of the things I think about at my job.
