It's Alive!
|
 So on Friday night I trotted off to the cinemas to see Harry Potter V for the second time. The only difference this time around was that it was at Imax, and it was in 3D. Well, the last 20 minutes were in 3D anyway. We were celebrating my best friend Ben's birthday, but it may as well have been mine how excited I was. First of all, I've never experienced cinema 3D. I've watched a couple of videos with those pesky red & blue 3D glasses, and unsuccesfully saw absolutely NOTHING life-like during that stupid supposed 3D episode of Medium, but never on the big screen. Let alone Imax. So I wasn't sure what to expect; I definitely wasn't expecting the enormous screen (I later found out that Imax are quite proud of their claim to housing the worlds biggest cinema screens), but certainly wasn't complaining.
Anyway, the seats were shit, it was very cramped and my knees were virtually up to my neck, but I barely complained which is highly unusual for me. And whilst the sight of Rupert Grint on a larger than life screen may not have added any comfort to my sore back, legs, knees and neck, it certainly made Mr. Penis quite comfortable and very happy indeed. Which is a shining explanation as to why I barely mumbled about my pain.
The whole 3-Dimensional experience was as good as I had hoped. It all looked about as real as a movie could look, and seeing Ron in the virtual flesh was actually too much for me to handle, something everyone in the cinema was probably aware of when I accidentally let out a giant sigh the first time he popped up in 3D. Then a further four more times.
Got a couple of plans for this week/fortnight, I'll finally get around to telling you what my favourite dance albums of 2007 are so far, chat a little about UK & OZ Big Brother, and maybe even commit to a long overdue blogerati compilation. Also, the whole My Favourite Pop Record project is not dead, I am merely being a cunt by not getting started on the editing and what not until this crazy period of university is out of the way. But I do promise it's coming; D'luv - you have permission to smack me over the head with a sledge hammer if it's not online by the end of August.
Am also thinking about--here and there--posting a couple of the album reviews I churn out for work; not all of them as I think some of them are shocking, but a couple when they seem coherent to me, wha'dya think?Labels: Hot Boys

I remember when I saw The Polar Express in IMAX 3-D. In the first row/center. My neck hurt, but I didn't care. God I love that movie.
