Subtle Surrender

Put a frog in a frying pan and gradually turn the heat up very slowly and watch as the frog fries right to the pan and never even realizes his life was in jeopardy. I believe that's what America has become... that frog. Our freedoms are systematically being withdrawn from us and we don't even sense a thing. A big issue has come to light about companies saying 'Happy Holidays' or 'Seasons Greetings', but the word Christmas is being placed in that frying pan. The groups of people that want the existence of Christ removed from American culture are probably a very small group, but they have influence and are financially fixed to make the fleecing of America happen. Remove church, remove moral right or wrong, remove the existence of Christ birth as nothing but a windfall for corporate America.

Martin Scorsese's 'Hugo' Blu-ray 3D set for release February 28th -- 3D haters beware

Considering that Hugo was a flick capable of earning 4 out of 4 stars from noted 3D hater Roger Ebert, it will be interesting to see how it's received upon its home release February 28th. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards and currently rocking a 94 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the fantasy tale of a boy who crosses paths with legendary filmmaker Georges Méliès in 1930s Paris may be the best example yet of how an artist can make use of the effect. The two hour six minute flick will be available in Blu-ray 3D combo pack, and 2D Blu-ray editions, with a 7.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack and special featurettes on the making of the film and the real magician/director who inspired the story.

The release date is two days after the Academy Awards, and if this flick can snag Best Picture or Best Director it could become a turning point for 3D. New 3D movies are already on deck from other high-profile directors like Ridley Scott (Alien prequel Prometheus) and Baz Luhrmann (The Great Gatsby), while big budget conversions like Star Wars -- coming to theaters next week -- and already-sold-out-for-Valentines Day Titanic test the waters for older movies. Add in sports broadcasts planned including UFC 143 tonight and the London Olympics in the summer, and 2012 is shaping up to be an especially rough year for 3D haters -- you have our deepest sympathies. Those on the other side of the fence can check after the break for a press release with more details and (2D) theatrical trailer, it's currently available on Amazon for preorders at $27.99, 2D only is $21.99.
