I’ll take a C who’s funny and fun to be around over a 3D any day.
I have not seen Avatar but otherwise my observations of 3D are similar to my observations of ACL replacement surgery; everybody is doing it and it looks painful.
the only thing I’ve seen is a 3D porno in college.
The new 3D technology is actually something, as opposed to the earlier iteration, but it still feels like a gimmick.
To the extent that filmmakers use 3D to convey verisimilitude (even in a fantastic context), it does feel like a gimmick to me (though I’m not sure how it might be used otherwise). But then I get to feeling like a crank lamenting the advent of sound or color film or other gimmicky innovation (such as ‘moving pictures’ themselves).
Some days, though, I do lament the advent of sound and of color film.
It makes me fall down even faster than 2D.
It gave me a migraine afterwards and made me puke for 8 – 10 hours. Great fun at the time, though.
Dream, do, deny.
Saw Alice in 3D last night. Would probably appreciate the 3D more in something that is strictly animated rather than mixed animated/actors

Lucy, my bet is more on the quiche than the movie (You know, eggs can be sometimes tricky, especially if you had them out rather than at home. Danny had a bad egg he had made himself, once at home. Laid him up the whole goddam day. Had I had your experience, though, I’d be more reluctant to see another 3-D than to stop eating quiche. Seems I’d risk eggs over crazy, swimmy 3-D vertigo any day.
Well I really enjoyed the movie, unobtanium and all, and was particularly interested in comparing the differences between glasses off and glasses on in particular moments. But I’m very motion sensitive, our latest road trip really reminded me of that, especially if I’m taking photos and looking around (I am a passenger) my belly revolts.
So did Danny actually lay that bad egg? You’d think you could trust that.
