Attitude is altitude

I accidentally stumbled on a bookmark to Nick Vujicic's "Attitude is altitude" youtube video. I think we all have moments in our life that we feel overwhelmed with pressure from our friends/work/relationships/family/life. I think this video helps find inspiration in tough times. I hope everyone is having a fantastic Sunday and remember to keep your head up!

3D or not to 3D, that is the question!?

Welcome back interneetsss. In your absence, you were missed. Now you have returned, though, things they are alright. Let us begin living again.

I actually got internet back on Wensday but I've been too busy to post till today! The thing I kinda want to talk about today is the arrival of 3D to the theaters and my feelings about it all. I'll go into more detail about the animation in a later post. Some friends want to see the upcoming animation Despicable Me and while deciding on weather to see it in 3D, I had to check up reviews to see if it's worth it. But what to you is "worth it".

What counts to a good 3D movie and why does that count for that? I, myself, have only seen two 3D movies. They are Alice in Wonderland and Clash of the Titans. Ever since watching Clash of the Titans, I have vowed that I would not fall for the 3D hype once again. Which gives why I looked up reviews on seeing Despicable Me in 3D. I remember walking out the theater with a nasty feeling of wasted money all night long! It wasn't the greatest movie in the world but since they added 3D after the movie was shot, it ended up using 3D in like a couple scenes throughout the WHOLE movie!

My question to you is how do you justify spending the extra price of 3+ dollars (or what ever it is by you) to see these movies in 3D? Do you expect the same quality as in the movie "Avatar" or do you enjoy having subtle effects added to it (kinda like Alice in Wonderland)? Do any of the recent movies reached your expectation in 3D (Toy Story 3? Etc.) You can either comment on here or send me a tweet ( http://twitter.com/mikeeshields ) or even send me an email ( Mshields08@ymail.com )

I hope to hear from you!
