Comes out tomorrow. Unfortunately, it made less at the box office than it cost to produce (by a long shot). So if you ever want to see another Scorsese movie without DiCrapio, this will have to make up for it in home video.

I enjoyed the movie.
I will sooner send it to Putin's campaign.

I, of course, thought of that too. I don't know their business model, but I suspect they pay royalties on each viewing, to the producers.
If so, then I contribute virtually nothing to Hollywood. I don't recall when was last time I saw a Hollywood film.
I'm watching Hugo now. It's brilliant...and believe me I abhor the hollywood crowd as much as you. Don't they remind you of tin. :)

Alas, that one is forever destined to languish somewhere in the Chita region...
I wish I didn't have to make a choice between all those characters, though!
...playing locally in 3D post Oscars.
It really needs to be seen on the big screen in 3D.
When one must argue a film's worth is in whether or not it's 2 or 3 D, it's a foregone conclusion it sucks.
It was a very touching film that first introduced a boy, whose life was broken. Through his eyes we learn of a man, whose life was broken. Linking them is an automaton that illuminates the purpose in both their lives. The entire film is about fixing what's broken. As I've told you before, you must lack a soul if you weren't touched.
3D or not 3D doesn't even register for me. There is much about this film that is absolutely brilliant.

It made me smile, and it moved me in many ways.
the wonder of Paree is best captured by Jeunet.
sounds like a good film...

I plan to watch it on my non-3D 60" plasma tomorrow, and many times thereafter.

it is one of the best examples of 3D done right, that is used to accomplish artistic ends - and if I had not already seen it in 3D, I would see it before it leaves the 3d theaters. And I may actually see it again that way. 3D is not always great, and sometimes it even detracts, but when done right, it is a treat.

In my very unscientific survey, acquaintances who failed to get into the story and had significant criticisms saw the 3D version and those who thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of the film saw the 2D version. I'm sure the 3D was very nice, and done right, but I'm watching it now and the picture has excellent depth and conveys the elevated cinematographic achievement perfectly in "2D".

I saw it with my friend, who was a film studies major in college. We saw it in 3D and enjoyed it thoroughly.
If you are dead set against 3D as a technology, it's your own choice. I love the technology of 3D imaging and have always been fascinated by it, even back to silly red-green comic books as a kid. I am with Oliver Sacks, who writes in his latest book of his long interest in stereo imagery and the very sad loss that he suffered when he lost most of the vision in one eye due to cancer.
And if you had that interest, Hugo would be on the short list of modern accomplishments in the art. But of course, we all have different interests and enjoyments in life.
It's not that I'm against it. I just see it as a frill, and not a viable replacement for traditional approaches to film. I'm sure Scorsese did a better job than Cameron, but the option of putting glasses over my glasses to access what I consider a gimmick is not why I wanted to see this film. For me, it was very profound, personal experience to watch Hugo and 3D wasn't going to add to that experience in a meaningful way. That doesn't mean I have anything technically against 3D or that I oppose it. It's just not for me.

...and have no clue what you're talking about, but you have a strong opionion about both the film, seen in 2D, and what it might be like in 3D.
Not surprising.
Do you also have a strong opinion on the Magnepan 3.7 speakers you haven't heard, but may have seen a picture of?
LOL!

...was about the 3D presentation you did not see.
No, you moron, learn to read. I was commenting on my opinion of 3D in a more general way as a gimmick, and I acknowledged right up top that Scorsese's handling of 3D must be exceptional.
Do you enjoy wearing glasses over your glasses? I don't.
Beyond that, you are holding a grudge like Khomeini. Lose it.

...communication skills haven't improved a bit since your wife stopped letting you post on Outside.
Thankfully we no longer have to put up with you there.
you carry a grudge. Sad. Really.

...did enjoy it on the big screen in 3D, the way it was meant to be seen, I'd have to say it was probably the 4th or 5th best film I saw this year.
