The guy who runs IMDb gets revealed

Interesting piece about the founder of IMDB. Is there anyone on the Internet that hasn't been on IMDB?

The founder of one of the most successful websites in the world has been unveiled as a self-confessed technology geek who still runs the website from his former family home in Bristol.

'I love the idea of being in the cinema with all these people who haven't got a clue who I am but half of them have probably decided to go and see the film because they have read about it on my website.'

He proudly admits that he was one of the first people in the country to have an e-mail address which dates back to 1985.

The Big 3D Scam

I'm so glad someone is calling Hollywood out on this BS. I saw 'Tron' last week and I was pissed off. I'm tired of paying almost 20 bucks per film for 15 mins of 3D effect and poor 3D effect at that. They make good movies horrible. If they start filming or overlaying romantic comedies in 3D I'm leading a local protest. Check out this piece from a professional CG supervisor…

Are we ready for 3D? As CG supervisor and avid moviegoer, I'm sad to say that I'm not convinced we are. Yet. And the worse is yet to come, as studios try to milk us all for these half-baked goods.

The only time that I have felt it was worth it was Avatar and even then I wanted to yank the damn thick-rimmed glasses off my face every 3 minutes.

The good Avatar 3D experience happened because James Cameron is a technically savvy director, and thus the 3D aspect of Avatar was technically well executed. When done right it allows the viewer to more seamlessly enjoy a 3D film. Done poorly and all it does is get in the way. One of the reasons I'm not digging it is that many of the stereoscopic movies have been made 3D after they were shot, which can cause heaps of distractions in the final product. Even if the film was originally shot 3D it takes someone knowledgeable in the field to make it effective.
