BTW That was a heck of a game last saturday against App. State - one of the best hits of the year in the second quarter! All in all, it was a very enjoyable football game to watch, even though I was of course cheering for for Appalachian!!!

Wasn't my pic to begin with - so go ahead!

What Freeze meant to say in his earlier post was that the college in the TOWN he lives in is playing in the NATIONAL championship game tonight (Division 1, AA) against Villanova.

I too want to see Avatar.

Does Missoula have an IMAX theater? If I go, I'm definitly going to see it in one of them.

'Nova took it, 23-21. Wasn't as close as the score - 'Nova played a pretty good second half.

Avatar was awesome! I'm gonna go see it again tomorroo night! It just simply sucks in you in all levels, and thats not including the 3D effect!

shaunjohnson · 12.19.2009, 04:48 AM

hope the 3D bit was better than the "UP" movie.
the commercials had more 3D stuff in them...loved the toy story previews

glad you liked it, thinking about going myself

I am guessing 3d is the "new" thing now for movies... Maybe eventually we will get to see some naughty female bits again in movies, like we did in the late 90s early 90s...

They are hoping so. One of the few reasons left to go to theaters and not rent/stream movies. 'Course the movie only cost $500M....

The 80's were a golden era for titage in movies. The sorority raid in Revenge of the Nerds will be an all-time classic.
Damn Sen Lieberman and Tipper Gore for pushing enforcement of theater ratings. Teenagers were the ones that filled the theaters for those movies. If they can't get in bc of an R rating that's enforced, studios took out the stuff that made it R. Booooo.

rawfuls · 12.19.2009, 01:53 PM

Or we just snuck in :D

shaunjohnson · 12.19.2009, 07:04 PM

apparently our R ratings over here are more "hardcore" than yours

:) Prolly :)

What I was referring to was the big censorship battles in the US in the late 80's and early 90's and how it changed movies and music (but not really music so much, even tho it was the big focus of the fight. See MPRC and Tipper Gore. I doubt you may have them, but all the CDs sold were forced to have warning stickers applied if they had "offensive" material. Basically it just turned it into an ad for the albums..

Also in this was the changes in enforcement of movie ratings. You could put out a teen movie like Porky's, which is full of titage, and kids would all go see it. The ratings were not really enforced at theaters, so 15yo high school kids could go watch a rated R movie, which was supposed to be 17+. They are the big summer theater audience.

Suddenly studios had to detune movies, bc an R rating would cut out a huge amt of the theater viewing audience. Ie, no more F bombs and no titays. :(
(Teen) movies from the 70's and 80's were full of gratuitous nudity, but not so much anymore. There are a few, but not like it was.

Anyway.. enuf of the tangent..

How did you like the 3D? Cheezy, good, seemless.. ?
