Can I just take a second to point out how AMAZINGLY PRETTY Avatar is. Seriously, I love when talks turns to Avatar just so I can say it looks pretty. PRETTY!!!!!

It was good. Really good, and it was obvious in the first few mins that it must be incredible in 3D. My eyes actually kind of hurt from watching it in 2D, but it is not like the old 3D movies where things are kind of fuzzy. It is watchable in 2D.

It is showing (and was shot) in both 2D and 3D and the 3 D version is fuzzy if you don't have the glasses on. Around here all the theaters are showing it but less than half are playing it in 3D. They hand you the glasses from a table as you walk into the theater and collect them in a bag as you exit. It appears they sanitize or clean them before reuse.
What is it you are watching with a projector, a Pirated version?

Pirated? No, I don't think I got it from anyone in Somalia. Although I did think it was strange that they asked if I was looking for a slightly used oil tanker

I am not exactly sure what I am watching. That is why I am going to build some glasses and see if it works. I can definitely see the fuzzy effects around objects, but it is still sufficiently crisp to watch. So, it might be just a 2D. The screen is sufficiently large at about 6 feet across, and we are sitting only about 6 feet from the screen, so it fills our visual field pretty completly.

One of the reasons I bought the projector was because the last time I went to movie theater in Chile, the quality of their projector and the sound was so poor I felt like I got completely ripped off. Not to mention I was sick for 2 weeks after. If you go to a theater these days (even a new one in the States), there is very little techinical difference between any projector you buy off of Amazon for around a $1,000 - $2,000 US and what they are using in the theaters. Especially in Temuco. They have one theater that I believe has a high definition digital projector in it, and the rest are old vga or something ( the lamps seem to have insufficient power to reach the other side of the rooms). The sound was really bad. Like someones car stereo system with just two speakers in the front. All that, and I paid the same as I would in the U.S. more or less for a ticket.

It is pirated, shame on you! It is still showing in the movie theaters. Release on DVD (or film)is not even scheduled yet. My secretary even has one, but she doesn't know any better!
