Just a heads-up. by Seranis on 2009-08-02 14:42:00 UTC Reply

If for any reason you are going to take your child, a younger sibling, a niece/nephew, etc. to the movies, I recommend you not see G-Force. I made this mistake when I went with Sofia, my dear niece. It was truly awful. AWFUL. AWWWFUULLLLLLL.

Just thought I'd save as many people as I could.

What is the fascination with 3-D? by thejadefalcon on 2009-08-04 10:54:00 UTC Reply

It sucks and on top of that you have to wear stupid glasses that rarely fit. I'll be content with 2-D until they invent holograms. The only exception would be if, oh, I don't know, they made a Star Wars/Trek/Gate film in 3-D. Then I'd probably go and see it.

Personal beef with 3-D, I can only see in one eye by Leto Haven on 2009-08-05 03:35:00 UTC Reply

Why can you only see in one eye?

If I am at a bar... by Leto Haven on 2009-08-05 16:40:00 UTC Reply

I like to say it was in a knife fight. (You should have seen the other guy...)

But in actual reality, I was playing tag in the bushes when I was six. I got pushed and triped. I stick went up under the eye and around to the back. It destroyed some of the arteries and the nerve. Amazinly enough it didn:t actually go into the eye itself.

I got an artificial eye when I was 21 (the last year it could go on my parents insurance).

Alas, c`est la vie. I am over it, it is you with vision in two eyes that are the weird ones...

I am a morbid child... by Maudlin Hart on 2009-08-11 00:46:00 UTC Reply

...which eye?

My right by Leto on 2009-08-12 08:54:00 UTC Reply

tis ok, that is one of the least morbid questions that I have been asked.

What, so "one lump or two?" is more morbid? (nm) by Maudlin Hart on 2009-08-14 00:19:00 UTC Reply

Forget I asked?

Okay, note to self. Ban children from tag. Ban, ban, ban. Forever.

I don:t think that tag was the problem by Leto on 2009-08-07 14:16:00 UTC Reply

it was where I was playing it that was.

While those would be potentially awesome... by Ansela on 2009-08-04 14:48:00 UTC Reply

...I wouldn't go see a 3-D film even then. Not because of not being interested, but because I've never met a pair of 3-D glasses that work with my regular ones.

My mum mentioned that... by thejadefalcon on 2009-08-04 15:18:00 UTC Reply

She can't see a difference at all with 3-D glasses, whether or not she's wearing her glasses or not.

Ah, well. We've got time to wait for holodecks.

I've never tried them without my glasses on. by Ansela on 2009-08-04 15:51:00 UTC Reply

Admittedly that's because I'm as blind as a bat without them, making removing them to look at something an exercise in futility.

It does make it interesting to go places when my glasses have been lost though. Walking into lampposts because you forgot they were there and can't see them is always fun.

Yeesh... by thejadefalcon on 2009-08-04 15:53:00 UTC Reply

I'm so glad my eyes fixed themselves otherwise I'd be in that situation.

Well, by Seranis on 2009-08-04 13:51:00 UTC Reply

They have non-3D versions too, you realize.

So? (nm) by thejadefalcon on 2009-08-04 15:19:00 UTC Reply

Oh, and... by thejadefalcon on 2009-08-04 10:55:00 UTC Reply

I thought the movie what about astronauts. After all, G-Force usually refers to gravity.

Re: Just a heads-up. by Tiroth on 2009-08-03 13:28:00 UTC Reply

When I heard a film called G-Force was coming out, I immediately of the old eighties anime that I watched as a (very small) kid. That would've been fun. Then I find out it's about a bunch of guinea pigs-turned-spies... >.>

Don't get me wrong, I like guinea pigs, but...damn. >.>

Freaking Disney...they haven't made a good movie since 1995 or so. Okay, so I liked Lilo and Stitch, and Hercules was all right. And their Pixar stuff is great, but their live action and traditional animation stuff has gotten more sickening over the years. I wouldn't have liked this movie even as a kid. I can only hope The Princess and the Frog jumpstarts Disney into better quality.
Saw the trailer on TV by PitViperOfDoom on 2009-08-03 00:10:00 UTC Reply

I've been wanting to see it, and I think I'll just reserve judgment for when I actually see it. Though, my dad and I both agree, it's a renter.

Re: Saw the trailer on TV by Seranis on 2009-08-03 02:11:00 UTC Reply

The thing is it's just a bunch of stolen one-liners at stupid moments instead of dialogue.

But yeah, it's best to see for yourself. XD

It does look awful. Disney will do anything to put out a 3-D movie right now. But that does not excuse this... this... UGGG

Sadly I have to take my sister to see it ... by Laburnum on 2009-08-02 14:55:00 UTC Reply

... because I work at the cinema and can get her in for free, so even if it sucks at least we haven't wasted money on seeing it. (I stop working at the cinema in a month or so, though - it's my gap year and I want some time to travel before uni starts. Thank God. I hate hate HAAAATE that job >_

What, don't you carry a little book-light around? They're terribly useful.

Could be worse. At least my parents accepted my refusal to take her to see Twilight when it was out *puke*

Well, that sucks. You can't even do it in the very back row?

Probably could, but it's not worth the hassle I could get. by Laburnum on 2009-08-04 23:50:00 UTC Reply

I'll save it for after I've left the job :) I can always distract myself in the movie by going "Awww, wookit the cute widdle guinea piggies!" and ignore what they're actually saying or doing, if it's that bad.
