So apparently this is gearing up now.The script is done, a director attached and will begin shooting in June as Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.
Reportedly picks up straight after the events of the 74 TCM and then jumps to the now.
I'm adapting a wait and see approach.But knowing me I will see it eventually.Hell I caved and watched the remake.

I'm sure it will be awful, but I also know I'm gonna be watching it too. So there's that

A Horror film equals my attention to it and eventual viewing at some point. 3D equals doing so at home (not like I had much chance of seeing it in theaters anyway)

Why would 3D guarantee that you do so at home? I mean, this doesn't sound like something I'll rush to the theaters to see either, and I know you don't go often, but if a movie is in 3D that tends to increase the liklihood that I'll try to watch it in the theater. 3D at home works a little bit, but it is just not quite the same and wearing those glasses in the house just feels dumb most of the time.

We've gone around on this issue enough, you should know what I feel on the subject and why I don't go after the 3D projects.

If I wasn't so poor right now I know I would see this shit in theaters! 3D is the coolest thing to see. Everyone knows that.

You're new here, but frankly, I think the concept is bullshit. Doesn't mean I won't see the movie, I just don't care for the tactic.

How can the concept of 3D be bullshit?

Like I mentioned earlier, you're new here so you don't know my feelings on the subject, so I'll just say it again so you know:
It's a principle thing. If you can't sell a film by it's own internal forces, don't release the movie. I don't care about the experience it gives, how good it looks or how fluid the process is, the film itself is the only thing that matters when I watch it, with all outside influences surrounding it completely null and void. It's the film itself, that's it, I don't care about anything else and whatever other tactic or gimmick is used to enhance that is totally worthless and screams desperation.

You know GL, I absolutely envy your point of view.I often bring too many expectations to a film,whether it be the director,a certain actor or it's based on the fiction of a renowned writer or a sequel.And these are usually the films that disappoint me the most.This is where my three viewing principle comes into play the most.Sometimes I get too hyped up from everything I've read and heard, and the film is a let down the first time,but then when i watch it a second time,with downgraded expectations,I enjoy it.The third time's the charm,the real feelings come through.Vice Versa as well.I admire the fact that you can do that without fail each and every time you first see a film.Reputation means nothing to me when all is said and done.But it means nothing to you to begin with.And for that you shall be blessed my son.

Thanks, Matt. It's just something I learned a long time ago when I first started getting into movies, that I had to be enjoyed by the movie when I watched it for me to think of it as a positive experience. I usually didn't know much about the movie before I started watching it, I only really took an interest beforehand because it was fit into a specific genre (it's a Giant Monster Movie/Kung-Fu/Action film, so therefore I should take a look at it) and that was about as deep and as thorough a classification it needed for me to get interested. It's only after I went online and found the IMDb that I really started learning about the films and what went into them in the first place that I realized I had been watching movies for almost a decade by then that I loved a lot of them before I knew about the backstory or other events related to the movie that I was able to use that as a sort of benchmark for how I would view films since I usually didn't know anything about them before I started watching them to begin with.
