Hopefully we are coming to the end of the 3-D fad that should have been over a while ago.

Especially as long as the movie quality is so abysmal for the most part and the extortion prices to boot.mkaroly wrote:Hopefully we are coming to the end of the 3-D fad that should have been over a while ago.
I'm glad that Pirhana is bombing because, as always, I want crap to fail miserably and am always happy when it does.

I do confess I want to see Piranha. Apparently cheap laughs, topless women and Elisabeth Shue sounds like my kind of movie.
But at $15, I'm probably gonna pass
