3-D!!! January 31, 2011

I can’t stand it.

I do not understand this renaissance of 3-D that we’re experiencing now, and I am incredibly angered as I see 3-D leave the movie theaters, and come into consumer electronics. (In my professional opinion, 3-D belongs in theme parks and the eighties.)

As a filmmaker, many people would probably expect me to say “I love 3-D! It adds a whole new dimension to filmmaking! (Literally!)” But it just takes the viewers attention away from the picture! 3-D forces viewers to focus on one or two particular objects. People don’t see the background, they don’t notice it. If this 3-D craze were to continue (more on that in a sec) filmmakers would become more and more lazy, and the quality of films would go down majorly.

So is 3-D a craze?

NO!!!!! STOP BUYING 3-D TELEVISIONS AND CAMCORDERS AND ALL THAT OTHER JUNK!

Ahem.

It’s a fad, JUST LIKE IT WAS IN THE 70′S AND 80′S!!! Let’s use common sense here people! 3-D WAS big, then it died, then it comes back, it’s big… (Complete the pattern.)

Do not want.
