Avatar didn't change my mind about 3D.

I'll buy Coraline on BD, but not Avatar - Pandora was a marvelous creation, but the movie around it was typical JC action movie. Not my cuppa. I can live without 3D for Coraline.

One of the things I find slightly offputting about 3D is the size change of the actors relative to the frame when going from tihht shots to medium shots to long shots. Humans are big, then get little then get big again.

Plus, my favorite movies aren't the blockbusters and big action movies that are likely to be the main source of 3D material for the forseeable future.

But I do agree with you that bigger is better when it comes to movies at home. I don't have a spot for FP, so I can't go there quite yet. But I have friends with FPs and it's a thrill to see a movie at 108".
