    No thanks Dolby, I’m seeing it in IMAX.

    Every time I go to the movies — every. fucking. time. — it’s the smallest auditorium and the sound is low. I go to IMAX, I get a big screen and good sound. The branding is a bit cringe (every seat? really?) but I know what I’m getting.

    I didn’t watch Masters of the Universe as a kid, but I’ve seen the older movie and I like the idea. I think the movie looks good. Hoping it does well so they can do ThunderCats at some point before I die.

        Nice. I loved those tapes. I never understood how it worked, but for the longest time I thought the things exploded on the TV when you shot them enough. No they didn’t. They had those red zones and they flashed. The ship/gun shook when you pulled the trigger and the photo sensor detected red. Exact same way Duck Hunt worked on the NES, only pulling the trigger caused the screen to replace the ducks with white. If the light gun detected white where you pointed it, the duck died. I forget how it knew which duck. But it was something like that. The VHS tape couldn’t react to your actions, so it was all in the ship/gun toy. Those targets just flashed red, so kid me saw them flashing and the ship made the explosion sound and my kid brain assumed.
