I'm actually excited about this movie. I don't know when I can see it though.

I am going to try to see it in IMAX 3D this weekend, but if I can't make it to Jax, I will see it in regular 3D.

I think this will be an interesting movie. The sets and costumes look like they have such depth and rich details. It will probably be like any other movie that looks good though - I'll wait and get it on DVD. Sticky-icky movie theater seats and floors with screaming infants and children running up and down the aisles do not add anything to the movie experience for me.

agingerbugg: you gotta drive all the way to Jax/Orange Park for the IMAX 3D? Wouldn't Orlando be closer?

I just read at rottentomatoes that the full trailer for TRON Legacy will play before Alice in Wonderland. That actually excites me more than seeing Alice, although I'm intrigued enough by the trailers, cast, and reviews to see it anyway.

I've been hearing a number of rumors that Disney's wanting to have a short release for Alice in Wonderland so that they can put it on DVD faster. A number of theaters don't want to show the movie in their theaters and I've heard that quite a number overseas isn't showing the movie at all. I hope that this isn't the case.

^I've heard that as well - a big push from Bob Iger (he eventually wants to release the movie in theatres and DVD on the same day - talk about a bust for the big screen). Good for the theatres to boycott, but I'd be sad if I didn't have Alice playing near me!

movies in the theatre the same day as the DVD - wow, that would sell tickets.

Making me wonder about the brain power in charge of Disney...

No, they're wanting to have a short theater run for Alice so that they can put it on DVD faster.

I can't say that I disagree with releasing lesser movies on DVD the same time, but not a major release like Alice. Of course this will do nothing to help reduce the cost of movies, theaters will use this as an excuse to increase their rates even further making it impossible for most people to see a movie.

It's really sad when it costs more for a family of four to see a movie than to fill the gas tank on their car.

I can't see the theaters being happy with a "short run" - the studio gets all the money upfront when a movie is released, and the theatres get their money out of it as it engagement continues - more time, the more of the money. Shorter runs cuts into the theatre profits unless the studio is agreeing to take a cut upfront - I can't see any studio doing that. To do this would put the studios and the theaters into an unfriendly conflict.

I may try and see it in the IMAX today or tomorrow.
