But that doesn't mean I won't. :) It's just great to see such a wide variety of animated films coming out...that are good! Glad you enjoyed it. ~K Astro Boy just didn’t have much appeal for me, so I haven’t seen it. But that doesn’t mean I won’t. \':)\'

Hello, vampire craze...). I'm not a creepy dork (I don't think) but I *am* an old fart. ;) Maybe there's a reason it didn't stick around before. Just because the glasses aren't blue and red doesn't mean the studio execs aren't doing the same tired stunts like pointless effects being thrown at the camera to justify it. The only reason they are shoving it down our throats again is because they've all invested TONS of money in the technology already. And because everyone is at home in front of their huge flat screens watching their Blu-Ray DVDs and not going to the movies. Make good movies and we'll go. Really. You can't fool us into going with your silly 'breakthrough technology'. Ugh. (Stop me before I rant again!) K (Mmmm...junior mints....) Oh, of course it’s nothing new (is anything really new?

Yeah, I'm a creepy dork but it's October, so give into the Halloween spirit. As for 3D for all of these animated films, it's only a matter of time before viewers get to experience the wonder of Shrek's phlegm coughed all over your popcorn and Junior Mints. Enjoy the show!
