The things Disney is doing with this new 3D technology are really amazing.

The movie starts out with a few gratuitous 3D effects (and there's a few more towards the end of the movie, too).  However, there are a number of scenes that are specifically created to really deliver amazing 3D effects.  Towards, the beginning, there's a scene with a bridal march that astounded me, and there are a few long-shot scenes that are pretty impressive.

Overall, it wasn't very humorous.  The adult jokes that were in place were extremely forced, and the few funny instances probably weren't intended to be as funny as they were, to me.  Steven Colbert was not in the least bit entertaining as the President; I honestly expected more.

It felt like a really elaborate tech demo to me, but that's okay!  I like techo demos!  There were a few moments where I took my 3D glasses off to see how the film looked without them; it was good as an experiment.  Some scenes were okay, but some were unwatchable.

The good news for glasses-wearers is that we were accomodated with the 3D spectacles, as I was able to wear both my glasses and the 3D plastic glasses at the same time (though mildly uncomvfortably).

Some of the previews were in 3D too, and they were of movies which were announced over a year ago.  It's clear to me that Disney is embracing this new approach to 3D, and is delaying movies so that they can be 3D-ified.

Do you always double space after sentences? If so, why am I only now noticing this?

1)  I usually don't type multiple paragraphs.
2)  Putting space between paragraphs makes it easier for the reader to capture concepts.
3)  Paragraphs are usually 3-5 sentences long.
4)  I should have wrapped up with a summary sentence, but I forgot.

I always double space after a period.  See?  Can you guess why?  It is the same reason why I type so properly.

Can you motherfuckers talk about this movie, instead of your punctuation?

About the glasses, I've seen some amazing effects with active polarized glasses but most of the 3D shit for movies is still the Red / Blue method and I can't stand watching movies with those on.

Agreed.

These were not the red/blue variety, but I still ended up with watery eyes for most of the movie.

NO I WASN'T CRYING BECAUSE OF THE AWESOME FRIENDSHIPS THESE MONSTERS DEVELOPED.

1) Right.
2) True.
3) Um, also true.
4) Oh well.
5) I was referring to the fact that after a full stop, question mark, or other sentence-ending punctuation, you seem to hit the space bar twice before starting the next sentence. Do you always do that?

I was taught that was the proper way to do it. One space for commas,  and two for periods/full stops

I was never taught at all. Which is partly why I'm curious.

with a dangling preposition like that, I have no doubt that you will!!

I kinda figured that out later, but I'd already yelled at everyone for not talking about the movie.  :(

I hadn't actually noticed it. Which probably answers my original question.
