who needs the cinima when you get see it all live in thailand anyway !

LOL Really just go down to soi 2 or 3, or walking street, and get it all live :whistling:

The difference is that the chicks in the film will actually be attractive and not :sick:

Sex and Zen comes to Bangkok

Hong Kong's 3D Erotic comedy "Sex and Zen: Extreme Ecstasy" starts screening in Thailand on Thursday after receiving approval from the Film Board's censorship committee and being given a rating of 20+.

With this rating, filmgoers should have their ID cards ready to show in case they're asked. The Thai cut of Sex and Zen runs for 110 minutes, 3 minutes shorter than the original. Three scenes have been cut: a female seducing a monk and two sadistic rape scenes.

I would appreciate a review from someone on this before I go and see it - I have visions of a male appendage rearing out of the screen towards me and I am not sure if i can handle that :unsure:

Dont worry, it may be lifelike, but honestly you really WONT be able to handle it !!!! :-)

It will just take special glasses on any tv.<br />I looked at the current 3D technology last year and it's gonna be a pretty solid thing on the market in the next 3-5 years.<br />

I wish it was that easy. There are many different 3D technologies out there. Most of them require active glasses (the glasses will need to be powered, and the TV will be controlling and syncing the shutter of each lens.). And they only work in co-existence with the current TV-set they are bought for. So for a normal TV your stuck with the old red-green-type of glasses, which isn't that great ;)

I was a Asia Broadcasting Convention last year, several systems do not require active glasses.

Either twin color or polarized, nothing else. I know because I tried them.

There are systems out with improved 3D capabilities,

and yes we must wait to see how that shakes out.

15 Years ago I worked for Silicon Graphics - the team that invented "3D graphics" literally. I am still developing programs in the 3D niche.

Although I learnt long ago to "never say never" mainstream consumer 3D in film and TV and internet was being quoted as "3 - 5 years away" 15 years ago, and again 10 years ago and again 5 years ago.

Anyone working with 3D 15 years ago would have considered today's technology capability more than enough to satisfy consumers.

Whats holding all this back is the pairing of glasses with screens - only when immersive presentation environments mature will 3D be fully accepted by the masses.

I've also worked Alias, Waveform, now Maya, motion capture, and 'real world' to animation motion syncing. Also back when,Topas, Softimage, Lightwave, Renderman, and other outputing solutions, etc.

I was referring more to the new generation of 3D television production in affordable packages and

Not just Red High Def twin camera configurations.

Costs are coming down significantly for this to become a viable reality, in a post Imax Avatar world.

I not really see the interest to go see this movie in Thailand...if it s the same kind of censorship you find on tv or if the movie is cut by a picture butcher....no thanks

Blurred breasts 30 feet across sticking out into your lap. it would be a new level of irony in censorship.

True. The women in this film look absolutely gorgeous. BTW, one of the female leads apparently has gone missing. It's unclear whether she's been abducted or not.

15 Years ago I worked for Silicon Graphics - the team that invented "3D graphics" literally.

No, they didn't. Carry on. :)

To be a bit pedantic about it:

2D moves to 3D on Computer

From multiple sources including wiki.

"

The advance in computer graphics was to come from one MIT student, Ivan

In 1961 Sutherland created another computer drawing program called Sketchpad.

1961...Steve Russell, created the first video game, Spacewar. Written for the DEC PDP-1

( I knew his son Steve Jr. and daughters.)

E. E. Zajac, a scientist at Bell Telephone Laboratory (BTL), created a film called "Simulation of a two-giro gravity attitude control system" in 1963

also 1963 Frank Sindon created a film called Force, Mass and Motion illustrating Newton's laws of motion in operation. Around the same time, other scientists were creating computer graphics to illustrate their research. At Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, Nelson Max created the films, "Flow of a Viscous Fluid" and "Propagation of Shock Waves in a Solid Form." Boeing Aircraft created a film called "Vibration of an Aircraft."

Also in 1966, Sutherland at MIT invented the first computer controlled head-mounted display (HMD). Called the Sword of Damocles because of the hardware required for support, it displayed two separate wireframe images, one for each eye. This allowed the viewer to see the computer scene in stereoscopic 3D. After receiving his Ph.D. from MIT, Sutherland became Director of Information Processing at ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency), and later became a professor at Harvard.

A student by the name of Ed Catmull got started at the University of Utah in 1970 and signed up for Sutherland's computer graphics class. Catmull had just come from The Boeing Company and had been working on his degree in physics. Growing up on Disney, Catmull loved animation yet quickly discovered that he didn't have the talent for drawing. Now Catmull (along with many others) saw computers as the natural progression of animation and they wanted to be part of the revolution. The first animation that Catmull saw was his own. He created an animation of his hand opening and closing. It became one of his goals to produce a feature length motion picture using computer graphics. In the same class, Fred Parkes created an animation of his wife's face. Because of Evan's and Sutherland's presence, UU was gaining quite a reputation as the place to be for computer graphics research so Catmull went there to learn 3D animation.

As the UU computer graphics laboratory was attracting people from all over, John Warnock was one of those early pioneers; he would later found Adobe Systems and create a revolution in the publishing world with his PostScript page description language. Tom Stockham led the image processing group at UU which worked closely with the computer graphics lab. Jim Clark was also there; he would later found Silicon Graphics, Inc.

The first major advance in 3D computer graphics was created at UU by these early pioneers, the hidden-surface algorithm. In order to draw a representation of a 3D object on the screen, the computer must determine which surfaces are "behind" the object from the viewer's perspective, and thus should be "hidden" when the computer creates (or renders) the image.

Dr. Edwin Earl Catmull, Ph.D. (born 1945) is a computer scientist and current president of Walt Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios. As a computer scientist, Catmull has contributed to many important developments in computer graphics.

1974, Catmull graduated again and was hired by a company called Applicon. But already in November the same year he was contacted by the founder of New York Institute of Technology,Alexander Schure, who offered him the position as the director of the new Computer Graphics Lab at NYIT

in 1979 he became the Vice President at the computer graphics division at Lucasfilm.[2]

At Lucasfilm he helped develop digital image compositing technology used to combine multiple images in a convincing way. Later, in 1986, Steve Jobs bought Lucasfilm's digital division and founded Pixar, where Catmull became the Chief Technical Officer.

Back at the university he became one of Ivan Sutherland's students, sharing classes with Fred Parke, James H. Clark, John Warnock and Alan Kay. Catmull saw Sutherland's computer drawing program Sketchpad and the new field of computer graphics in general as a major fundament in the future of animation, which combined his love for both technology and animation, and decided to be a part of the revolution from the beginning.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silicon Graphics, Inc. (commonly initialised to SGI, historically sometimes referred to as Silicon Graphics Computer Systems or SGCS) was a manufacturer of high-performance computing solutions, including computer hardware and software, founded in 1981 by Jim Clark. Its initial market was 3D graphics display terminals, but its products, strategies and market positions evolved significantly over time.

Initial systems were based on the Geometry Engine that Clark and Marc Hannah had developed at Stanford University, and were derived from Clark's broader background incomputer graphics. The Geometry Engine was the first very-large-scale integration (VLSI) implementation of a geometry pipeline, specialized hardware that accelerated the "inner-loop" geometric computations needed to display three-dimensional images.

In 1995, SGI purchased Alias Research and Wavefront Technologies in a deal totaling approximately $500 million and merged the companies into Alias|Wavefront. In June 2004 SGI sold the business, later renamed to Alias Systems Corporation, to the private equity investment firm Accel-KKR for $57.1 million. In October 2005, Autodesk announced that it signed a definitive agreement to acquire Alias for $182 million in cash.

---------------------------------------------------------------

William Fetter was credited with coining the term computer graphics in 1960[1][2] to describe his work at Boeing. One of the first displays of computer animation was Futureworld (1976), which included an animation of a human face and hand—produced by Ed Catmull and Fred Parke at the University of Utah.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I saw Futureworld back in '76, and an very early experimental MIT 3D platform on a DEC machine at that time also. Bad rendering, but true 3D.

So that puts it 20 years before SGI.

Won't they censor the crap out of the movie? Went to see "Sweeney Todd" here, with johnny depp, and they censored the crap out of all the blood and gore scenes; it was unwatchable. Would love to here a review about this movie......

3 minutes shorter than the original. Three scenes have been cut: a female seducing a monk and two sadistic rape scenes.

Damned censors. I'm not going to waste my money.

I made a home movie once....had to censor out 30 seconds.

There was a soft core flick came out in 1969 "the Stewardesses" that was 3-d. Some leg come poking out at you sort of thing. Not great cinema for sure. So this flick is not the first. Here's a link if you for some reason, wish to know more: My link

Handle it?...........Even if you could........Would you?I thought this film was '3D' with full sound around.................. not 'feel around'! :blink:

Just one other thing, with Thai censorship the way it is, I would put even money on the 3D glasses you have to wear being made out of bathroom window glass!

Just came back from the movie. I thought it might be in Chinese or at least have Chinese subtitles, but it was entirely dubbed in Thai with no subtitles. Subsequently, while it was not too hard to follow, I missed out on most of the dialogue.

Nothing was blurred and not much was cut. (I could tell that one of the rape scenes was cut). To answer several posters, no penises were visible when they were attached to the man. There were some dismembered penises, though, and a dog got a hold of one which elicted a tug-of-war. There were a few shadows and lots of raised clothing, either pants or some sort of loincloth thing. THere was also an actress with an amazing long and nimble penis, which was wrapped in cloth for her scene. Her voice was dubbed by a man. The girls were very good-looking, but mostly breasts and very few quick glimpses of pubic hair.

The audience laughed out loud numerous times, and most seemed to be please with the flic. My date was a little disappointed as while she liked the overall message, she was expecting something a little more erotic. Only one actor, a burly coal delivery man, looked sexy to her.

The 3-D aspect was forgettable. I don't think it was well done. There were a few graphic 3-D splashes of blood, knives, and such. But the sex and nudity were really unaffected.

Quite a bit of the sex scenes had a violent aspect to them, even when the women were seemingly enjoying it. That bothered me a bit. And outside of the sex scenes, there was a good deal of gratuitous violence and cruelty.

Acting was not so great. I have seen much better acting in other Chinese flics. But I guess acting was not a great priority. If you want to see hot naked women and some bloody special effects, then maybe the pic is worth the time.

All it takes is money spread around to the right people and anything goes in Thailand. This is the country that complains yearly about short skirts and the country who complained about the girls taking off their tops, but porn in the movie theatre and on tv, good to go.
