TICKETS TO 3-D MOVIES WILL COST MORE
12.08.08
There was a 3D Entertainment Summit this weekend in Century City, which for the most part was a big circle jerk about how awesome 3-D is. Some of the more substantive info was that making a 3-D picture costs the studio about $15 million extra, and that, according to CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, Dreamworks plans to charge about $5 extra for tickets to 3-D features, beginning with Monsters vs. Aliens in 2009.
When reached for comment, one of the thugs in Back to the Future just chuckled to himself, muttering “Suckers.” In related news, Gary Busey announced plans begin screening 4-D movies in his basement. He says he’ll be charging $10 more for 4-D, but only until he pays off the tickle chair.

I’m down with paying an extra $5 so long as the film ticket has $5 worth of weed stapled to it.
I’ll stick to Double-D movies, thankyaverymuch.
Julian Schnabel’s yellow lenses let him see everyday life in 3-D.
I’ve never seen a 3D movie that actually worked, but i do have a 3D issue of Ralph Snarf that kicks ass.
There was a 2-D Pornography summit at my house last night and there was no extra charge, baby.
holy shit one of those back to the future bullies is billy zane!!
Any movie can be 3-D if in the middle of the second act you punch your date in the face.
Hey, Busey’s just trying to cater to the Tralfamadorians. They like movies, too, ya’ know.
Seriously, why no 3-D porn yet? There’s a market niche for some go-getter with moxie. And a jizzmop.
Did they learn nothing from “Freddy’s Dead?”
I can’t wait for Tralfamadorians 2.
I love 3-D’s.
Hugh G. Rection: Accidentally putting in 3-D Bukkake porn may ruin your day.
If Busey is to be believed, he’s *puts fingers an inch apart* this close to inventing 3-D music.
3-D is the bra size of the chick with 3 tits in “Total Recall”.
Banner pic cap: Jimmy the Gerbil takes it in the ass for the fist time.
I thought Boogie Nights was 3-D. I got pink eye : (
“Twighlight 2″ wil be 3-D and they will build special cinemas complete with plastic wrapped seats for “easy clean up.”
Gary Busey is concerned that they’ll also up the price of the arcade claw machine next to Theater 2.
When I saw the banner pic, I was actually surprised that one of the Olsen twins was doing a new movie.
$5 of weed, J? Well, that can get you an ounce of schwag from Iowa, or 1/2 a joint from Chicago. Let’s just say I am glad I live close to the Mississippi River…
Leave it to a jew to decide to up the ticket price rather than expect to recoup the higher production costs through increased ticket sales.
Asshole.
George Lucas is excited by the possibility of sucking in a whole new dimension.
I’m a cheap date, Fek. Also, I just need to be baked long enough to get through the movie with my kids.
Dreamworks is excited to showcase their utter banality in a whole new manner.
When asked what his favourite 3-D moments was so far, Brett Ratner said “3-D Doritos .”
Oh sure, Dreamwork’s extra Ds are worth $5 apiece, but I come home with a report card full of ‘em and my dad hits me with a stapler until I smarten up…
Historically, studios have charged more for films like this. It’s just like how tickets to ‘Birth of a Nation’ were the modern-day equivalent of $50 each.
Ratner filmed a movie in 3-D but to us it’s not known as a movie but a “Tranny Group Grope.”
Is a tickle chair a sybian? What? My wife wants to know. Yeah, my wife.
If you tell Ratner to film a movie in 3-D, he’s going to take a tranny hooker to a motel and ask for that room.
Yeah . . . your wife.
My ex-girlfriend loved 3=D movies.
That’s “dick” movies, kids.
Chode has a three inch dick?
*** Was looking forward to meeting Chode…
Al, it used to be bigger, but I startled Pauly and he bit down.
McG’s idea of a 3-D movie is to show you a bunch of Magic Eye posters and scream things like “It’s a Sailboat, BOOM!”
You’re a mean drunk Al.
Her kisses turn to punches : (
I prefer the more optimistic angle that my punches turn to kisses, Michelle0.
My punches turn to urine.
Donkey has a fruity punch.
..and I like that.
I have a cactus punch. It already comes spiked (and it tastes like Pauly’s sweat).
You know that whole “motion of the ocean” thing is bullshit, right?
I find that most dead chicks don’t really care.
Tralfamidorians would make a better movie than Transformers, IMO.
I mean, which is scarier? “Oh my god, the car in my garage might be a robot” or “Oh my god, the plunger in my bathroom might be an alien?”
Think about it.
Sounds like maybe you’re just rocking them to sleep. Awwwww they look like angels when they’re sleeping. Crying angels.
If the plunger in my bathroom is an alien, then we’ve got a mutually beneficial relationship going on. He helps me after eating Mexican Food and, in return, I jerk him off.
Donk, if I weren’t jealous about you winning last week, I’d nominate that. Now, I’m just going to giggle and jerk off to it. Sorry.
JHC – too late. And I think there’s some sort of unwritten rule about not being allowed to win two weeks in a row. At least when there’s cool prizes involved. I may have just made that up, though.
