Avatar Featurette on youtube

Here's an Avatar featurette for you spoiler and visual hungry fans. It's full of awesomeness, but if you think less is more before the premier, then don't watch it.

Avatar fanboys' soon to be hottie, Ney'Tiri

Jake, you cannot imagine what adventures are up ahead...


Here it is finally! So what do you think? This got me way more excited for the movie than the teaser trailer.

I've updated the link, this one now should work!

You might have already seen it the bootleg, but if not, don't bother, just one more day, and it will be available in HD online! Be sure to check back for the links tomorrow. It's going to be awesome, trust me...


Honey, shoot yourself a nice, fat RDA marine!

AVATAR Teaser Trailer Discussion

September 10th 2009 06:36


It's been quite a few days, but the Avatar trailer is finally here. So what do you think? Has it met your expectations, or perhaps raised them even higher? Is it a bit of letdown? Were you at the Avatar day

Sherlock Holmes trailer 2

Robert Downey Jr. as a fresh interpretation of Holmes


A slightly modified version of the Sherlock Holmes trailer is up, so if you haven't heard about this project it might be a pleasant surprise for you. Hopefully Guy Ritchie will return to his origins after some border-abismal results

Ghosts of the Abyss

ghosts of the abyss
Hungarian poster for the IMAX version


It has been almost eight years, that passed since James Cameron shot Ghosts of the Abyss. A technological experiment, a vivid enterprise and probably one of his lifetime goals at the same time. The Titanic was a milestone in the Canadian director's career, and actually the movie was a milestone for the history of cinema, as the financially most successful movie to this date

Star Trek

May 8th 2009 07:23


Remember back in 1999, when Star Wars Episode I came out? The expectations were higher than Mount Everest or even Olympus Mons. The result is debated, but that's not my point now. I'm talking about another rather fresh concept, that was also introduced with that movie: the prequel. After a few years of prequels and remakes a third eco-friendly movie making concept emerged: the reboot, when an iconic series of horror, sci-fi (or James Bond) is restarted, keeping the basic concepts and characters, but giving it a fresh perspective

Hungarian poster for the movie


Well, what can I say? First and foremost I'm not 7 years old, so I cannot state that this movie is utter garbage. What's undeniable though is that it doesn't succeed as a family fun animated movie. It's not Shrek, nor The Incredibles. It's something I would rudely explain as a geeks with money movie

Monsters vs Aliens

April 1st 2009 08:33
A bug-eyed ...err, bug: Insectosaur!


Another 3d stereo movie up ahead (opens on the 2nd of April)! Monsters vs Aliens or simply MvA is Dreamworks Animation's first film that was intended to be 3D from the start, or at least it was conceived before a single storyboard was drawn. Probably it's the first time for a major animated feature to utilize the possibilities of stereo right from the start, and not just using it in post production

Me too, probably even since more than a year ago. So are you satisfied? I admint that I found tha trailer to be slightly disappointing upon first view, but no surprise: the movie has been hyped up immensely among the fans. James Cameron even said: "The hype will kill it" at one point. I found the Avatar day 16 minute preview to be stunning though, and now that my expectations have been lowered to a realistic level, I like the trailer more.

Did you catch the 16 min preview?

on Dolby 3D, now for real!

October 8th 2008 10:52
Thanks for the response. You should definitely check it out if you're into 3D or theatre improvements in general.

I'm looking forward to it with anticipation and fear at the same time. If it will be good, then hurray, if bad, then hopefully I can ignore it as something unrelated to the sci-fi classic.

He will be missed indeed. Great star, great actor, great person. As he's of Hungarian heritage I could mourn him even more, but more important is that through his movies and deeds his memory will live forever...

I'll watch the Cannes reports and another film, this time a thriller, later this day. I'll tell you what I've seen. Thanks for the interest.

BTW there are several Hungarian participants in competition this year, Kornél Mundruczó is in comp. with Delta for the Golden Palm.

Did you guys hear that they're remaking The Thing? I'm curious about the result since the VFXs of the Carpenter version are still so effective till this day.

I wonder if this will be a project similar to Terry Gilliam's Munchausen movie, that never got made. I hope not, at least it's not your average child-saves-the-world fantasy.

I'm living in Budapest, as of now. I'm from Hungary.

In the near future I plan move to Australia, it depends on my possibilities, but I'd love to.

Until then I'll report from the northern hemisphere.

BTW: Do you have similar experience with digital screens? I mean the graininess, especially in the darker scenes? I hope that newer HD content won't be as grainy, but it makes me wonder: 10,000 B.C. was probably shot on film (not sure) then it was converted to digital format. Is the process that could be blamed for the graininess?

I'm also eager to hear about the quality if Digital IMAX. the first public projector will be installed around June I think in the US, this year. Early screening tests say that majority of the viewers thought that it's at least as good as analog IMAX, and some even said that it's better than that. Now in case of IMAX I doubt that any graininess would be acceptible at all.

on Hulkamania : 80s Wrestling

Hey Jarrah,

Sorry to post it here, but perhaps someone could help me with these, so how do I do:

1. A header on the top. I suppose it has to be a JPG or similar picture, but in what part can I upload it?

2. Thumbnail type post list, like you have in your blog.

3. Messing with the arrangement of the page layout: where you can decide where to put the Orble and the blog specific column etc.

an extra:

4. Embedding youtube and other videos?

About Wrestling: believe it or not, around the turn to '90s I was a fan here in Hungary as well, when I could only see it on Sky and it's offspring TV's (British).

It was the Hulk Hogan, Warrior, Macho Man, Bret "the Hitman" Hart, The Birdman, Undertaker etc. era.

Warrior was my favourite (I was around 10 ) but now I sink deeply in the ground in shame when I think about my fanboy state back then.
