Last week's TMMC Poll asked you, readers, what you think about the latest film craze, 3-D. The results have been tallied and...IT'S A TIE! You were split right down the middle, with 50% of readers loving the cheap thrills that 3-D offers and 50% saying it gives you headaches. How red state/blue state of you. Regardless, it looks like 2010 will be the year of the 3-D, with more and more movies jumping on the bandwagon and releasing in 3-D, including Clash of the Titans, Shrek Forever After, Toy Story 3, Saw VII and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. 3-D is even hitting home theaters as well, with Avatar preparing to launch it's 3-D DVD. Any way to nickel and dime consumers at the box office. However us consumers hold the fate of this movie medium in our hands.
As you may have heard, this past weekend saw a spike in 3-D prices around the country, increasing up to 26% in some places with prices over $20/ticket!! Can you believe it!? Why yes, let me pay YOU $22 to let ME go cross-eyed for 2 hours and get a headache! The price increase may end up hurting movies in the long run, turning people off to the medium entirely. If you're as interested in this topic as I am, check out this great Wall Street Journal article.
While you're here, take a second to vote in this week's TMMC poll - a good one if I do say so myself. With the writer of Alice in Wonderland officially on board to do the scrip of Disney's live-action movie Malificent, the rumor mill has been working over time. Tim Burton is reportedly highly interested in working on the project (which would bring back nearly the entire creative team of Alice in Wonderland) and now Angelina Jolie's been rumored to be interested in playing the evil queen. What do you think of that one?! She's already accustomed to wearing a vial of blood around her neck, what more does she need to do to land the deal?Hopefully if Burton does sign on for this one, he'll take into account many of the criticisms given to Alice in Wonderland by TMMC readers and really push the envelope with Malificent. Go big or go home Burton - really make those kids cry!
So to review, VOTE. You don't even have to go to a polling station, I can't make it any easier for you!

Certainly she is one of the scariest Disney villians! Whyyyyy? Why would they torment thousands of children! Jolie does seem to be a perfect choice though. They should make the movie for adults give it an R rating and let all of us older Disney fanatics have at it. Make it as creepy as possible!
