I would like to see some comparisons of average screen size then to IMAX today. Maybe it's the kid vs. adult perspective, but modern IMAX doesn't impress me as much as "To Fly!"

Tom Cruise and Will Smith both get some IRL downmods due to attempts to inject their religion into their movies. I think Cruise is mostly past that, but After Earth has some $cientology stink on it.
Not just movies, but plays and books as well. This article, the summary, and 90% of the commentary show how poorly read and informed 'geeks' are, and that more mandatory humanities courses should be required.
Movies used to be a form of art, not a form of science. And the science is not there to make a good movie, but how to extract as much money as possible.
You've got to be shitting me. Since when? Shakespeare knew his crap was formulaic fodder to fill the cheap seats. Dickens got paid by the word, and it shows when served compiled into one tome instead of delivered serially. Where is this mystical, altruistic past where 'we did it for the art, man!'?
I'm in the UK, haven't had a TV for about ten years*
I bet you're the coolest guy in your wine tasting club.
ramen doesn't come in purple
I believe the poptarts he referred to are available in purple. As are donuts.
Can't speak to NZ, but the reason I posed the question is that the US show is edited quite a bit as well. I think they look for more confrontational events to make for more 'exciting' TV. I'm also wondering if what either of us see is the same as the twice edited shows that we can see in export versions.
Yeah, not doing this. I'm done.
You haven't presented 'facts'. You have presented interpretation and insinuation under the guise of impartiality. Persons like that are almost invariably wedded to their particular viewpoint and not worth the time. I'll pick an exemplar of where I think you are particularly wrong. You'll either minimize my criticism or point out that I didn't respond to the remainder of your laundry list. Boring. BTDT.
I guess there's no reason to present an counter-argument when you don't have one, eh?
The two minute hate isn't exactly an argument that invites counter-argument.
Purple is a fruit.
That's not quite what GP is referring to. He is referring to government employees being immune, individually, against civil suits. As an example, the cops referred to in this article are likely immune from civil suits as their actions fall under their role as government agents. Sure, you can sue the NYPD, but even if they lose, who gives a shit? NYPD will pass the bills back to the city (?) who will pass it on to the taxpayer, either in the form of increased taxes or decreased services elsewhere. Only in exceptional cases will the asshat in the PD be held liable.
You sounds like a bit of a fool to be honest. Your line of reasoning is something along the lines of:
Someone from a country where something bad is happened is criticizing my country so I must attack him and defend my own country!
That is idiotic and people like you are the reason SWAT teams run rampant. People like you are looking for any excuse to declare that your country as better than anywhere else and further use that as an excuse to feel that everything is OK.
It isn't. Actually try to observe things as they are and compare them to your own moral standards.
Give me a fucking break. 99% of the people on the internet (caution, invented statistic) are tribalistic turds who think their country is better than all the rest.
The IRS needs them when they go after accountants. An accountant cornered with his MS software and a sharp pencil is a vicious beast.
Worried that the Crimson Permanent Assurance will rise up again?
You reject the Aussie shows because you know they are overly edited, but you accept the US and NZ as gospel?
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
