Nightmare Before Christmas 4D

For Halloween, my boyfriend and I went to the El Capitan, where they were showing Nightmare Before Christmas in 4D. That’s right, a whole extra dimension! Not only was it in 3D, there were also elements of the movie that actually took place right there in the theater, jumping off the screen. This mainly amounted to fog, lights corresponding to other lights on the screen, and ‘snow’. It was a pretty cool experience and a great way to spend Halloween.

Long Beach Comic Con

Over the weekend, I attended the Long Beach Comic Con. This is the first non-San Diego Comic Con that I’ve ever attended and it was, of course, significantly smaller. But there was still a lot of cool programming to attend and booths in the Exhibit Hall to check out. For instance, I went to a panel for Robot Chicken, a panel that would have been nearly impossible to get into at SDCC. The Hall was a lot smaller, but it was still packed with both booths and people.

There weren’t as many people dressed up in cosplay as I usually see at SDCC. Also, there were very few lines for things, which are omnipresent at SDCC. I felt it was definitely a good Con with a lot of potential. It would probably be a great alternative for people who want that experience, but with much fewer people.

Marilyn Monroe

This is an insightful look at Marilyn Monroe’s life and career. She was so much more than just a ditzy blonde actress and tragic figure.

Bulldog!

All this adorable bulldog wants is to bring his pool inside! Is it really too much to ask to have a indoor puppy spa?!

Animals Talking in All Caps

This is basically the greatest Tumblr ever. Pictures of animals and what they’re saying in all caps. It’s just... perfect. I literally read the entire blog in one sitting and laughed my ass off.

Stormtrooper Family Photos

This is quite possibly the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. A Stormtrooper figurine is the parent, and a Lego Stormtrooper is the child. Brilliant!!

Lion King 3D

After the run of Beauty and the Beast 3D ended last week, the El Capitan Theater started showing a run of Lion King in 3D. Lion King seemed especially perfect for 3D, with the sprawling vistas of the African landscape that permeate this film. For the most part, it looked pretty great. I think the 3D worked better here than in Beauty and The Beast, actually.

Lion King was the first movie I saw in the theater and as such, remains one of my favorite Disney movies to this day. It was awesome to get to see it for the first time in a very long time! I can’t wait for the other Disney movies to get released in 3D!

Beauty & the Beast 3D

The El Capitan Theater on Hollywood Boulevard is owned by Disney and exclusively shows Disney movies. This month, they had special screenings of Beauty and the Beast in 3D. It will not come out to the general population for a few more months.

I hadn’t seen Beauty & the Beast in a long time, but from the first lyric, it all came rushing back. The 3D was mostly okay. Sometimes I honestly couldn’t tell if it was 3D or not. This was the first time I’d ever seen it in the theater, so that was pretty great.

Bonjour, girl!

This video is hilarious and makes me anxious to see Beauty and Beast 3D soon!!

“I can hear you bitches!!”
