I want to watch x-rated stuff in 3d

@787brx8 you have a good argument but I meant we can control reality (virtual reality) I wasn't referring to actual reality and of course imagining a scary situation isn't as scary as a dream but if it actually happened in reality it would be many times more scarier, but I see your point, either way films, dreams, reality & virtual reality have so many possibilities each.

@deanmullen10 I find that reality is not as controllable as one might think. If you ever had a nightmare I am guessing that you have, your emotional response is much greater than if you were awake and thinking of the same thing. If you can control reality as much as I can control my dreams...then my hats off to you. Cheers!

@787brx8 I know what you mean but dreaming isn't as emotionally vivid and controllable as reality, I know lucid dreaming allows you to control it but to have absolute control and to have an absolutely vivid experience would be greater, like you feel more emotionally aware of the world now then you would if your dreaming.

@deanmullen10 What do mean in the future? I already have something better? Its called dreaming...I watch new movies all the time...for free. Sometimes I write them down and years later, after Hollywood is done with them...the world can watch also. I don't write anymore so my movie surplus will dry up in a few years.

Words can't describe how much I hate 3D movie screening. Waste of money and time

@MrCoconut101 yep but avatar was great not because script it self but cool characters and presentation that's why story felt so unique

[MrCoconut101]

@piroman665 I don't necessarily agree. I mean, how would they make a second? I think the first one ended perfectly, with a perfect plot, and a perfect everything, really. But a sequal would probably ruin it...

Avatar is great, I could watch it until I was blue in the face,

in the far future, lets say the 2080s I'd imagine what I call Hyper Films, through technology to allow people to experience digital information directly channelled into one's mind, I'd imagine a matrix like method to allow people to be given the 100% real-like illusion they are in worlds such as fictional worlds of films, you will explore pandora for e.g. and yet have the virtual (non-real) people there act in such a way that your experiences will be interesting.
