2. Movie theaters have generally been way too loud for quite a few years. I spend parts of many films plugging my sound holes with my hands.
Avatar in 3D, yesssss! Heck, we even spent a few extra bucks for the IMAX version. Probably not necessary. But 3D IS necessary, since that is how the film was conceived. It will not be the same immersive experience in 2D and even less so on TV. Ear plugs will be necessary for many scenes, but there are some that are quiet.
3. The actor who played Rorschach in "Watchmen", Jackie Earle Haley, is now a regular in a brand new broadcast TV show "Human Target", based on a DC comic from the early 1970s. Plus Chi McBride, who played Emerson Cod in the much lamented "Pushing Daisies", is also a regular. The star is square jawed Mark Valley who was in "Fringe" for a year. It's an action-adventure-thriller-ass kicking show. Not much character development, a few good lines, but i'm enjoying it. It has a lot of filmic values, rather unlike standard TV shows. It has been on three nights this week, but i think its regular slot is Wednesdays at 9PM. It's on Fox broadcast channel (channel 2 in the SF Bay Area), not the scurrilous Fox Cable.
