It's about time

This is the thing with blogging, throughout today i was thinking about what to write and thought i know what how about my joint invention of the revo, which if you want to know is an ingenious new way of measuring angles, so ingenious in fact that it has already been thought of (ah well, never mind i'll be back with another idea soon). P.s. if you want to see some maths stuff then head on over to http://lolproofs.blogspot.com/ . So there went that post idea, so of course  added over to the sanctuary of the internet to find some particularly interesting stories.

This didn't take too long and i soon found myself reading through this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-15075014 , now it has long been my view that 3D films are just a gimmick, and apart from Mark Kermode i didn't know of anyone else who shared my view, but here is proof. All i can say is that it's taking a bit too long for people to finally realise that a product made for theme park rides, which has been adapted to make money in the film industry is actually not any good.

This might shock you but I've never watched avatar, i know "apparently" it was a great film but really think about, i mean really think what is so great about it? It has a ripped off story from countless movies and the many people i ask understand this and fall back on the argument that the graphics are mindblowing. Well frankly i don't care if a movie has mindblowing graphics, all i want is watchable special effects, what's the point of watching a film for its graphics. If that were true then you actively discounting any film before the 90s, now we all know that that is simply not true. If you had a choice would you watch the new blu ray altered star wars or the original films, if you pick the first one then please find the nearest door to you and use it.

Films are about how they make you feel and think, now i agree that a part of that is down to the cinematography but cinematography is not just special effects and all that mallarcy. Now i know that i'm not one to judge films, as i've never understood the depth of critics and how they delve into movies, but one thing i can say is that whilst this whole 3D thing has managed to grab the attentions of many easily excited people, it seems to finally have been figured out for what it is by said people and hopefully is in its decline. Because, although i have never given into the whole craze and the people who have been exploited by the
ruthless money grabbing film industry i don't really care about, it still will please me greatly to see the whole industry collapse and maybe go back to making good films instead of good graphics.
