Well it would have been pretty stupid to broadcast your TV station in 3D (not to mention expensive) or put out a movie in 3D if there aren't any TV's to support it yet. Plus, how would they know what technology to use so that they are compatible with the TV's once they are produced. And as someone said above, there are sporting events being covered/coming in 3D.

The dumbest thing is that you have to wear the glasses to watch it...

So if you ever want to have a party with your buddies, you're SOL to watch your fancy 3D TV in 3D unless you have enough glasses for everyone.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of this, and willing to talk about it. I hate stupid trends like this, when stuff is just so obviously made to get people to spend more money for no reason. It goes beyond "well just don't go see 3D movies then" like some idiot wrote. This is actively offensive to us.

Why? It's not like they've stopped making 2D movies.

Because of what I said. I know they didn't stop making 2D, and that's great! But the fact that they are still making 3D, and you see its effect on the media who cover it like it really is something other than a stupid phony cash grab, it is just highly irritating. I am the furthest from a hippie, but even this bothers the shit out of me.

In addition to all that, movies have been mostly shitty for the last 5 years anyway, so it seems.

They need to use 70MM film... all 70mm movies look stunning, on the big screen and on blu-ray 70mm movies look way better.. but they still find 70mm expensive i guess... even though its been decades and decades -_-


Dishnetwork or is it DirectTv is going to have 1 channel dedicated to 3D content this fall

again its stupid i agree -_-

Welcome to the majority of electronics, and everything Apple makes.

Yeah I know that most of it is frivilous bullshit. But aside from Apple products (and then that is mostly because it turns people into complete fucking idiots), it's not that offensive to me. But 3D movies... Fuck.

3D movies should just stick to animation and horror films

3D MAY fly for playing video games and movies..but not for tv-shows.

3D tv's wont become successful unless they meet two requirements:

1. No need for glasses
2. Wide viewing angles

This is a quote from your response in the Tofino Starbucks thread.

There's a demand for 3D movies (since people are paying to watch it), so apparently, that demand should be allowed to be accommodated by the film makers if they wanted to do so. Amirite?

PS. I was wondering why noone failed you in the first post; pretty hurting that you set yourself as un-failable. For a second there, I ALMOST thought that everyone agreed with you. Lol.

edit: ^there's a difference though, 3D in a theatrically viewed movie is not the same as these 3D TV's, which people are buying on the concept of "future-proofing" their purchase, without the ability to actually use or sample it yet. You should also keep in mind that a good number of the people going and watching 3D movies in theatres are only doing so to try it out for the first time.

I'll support your cause if you support mine? :lol Cause I swear the next time one of my friends gets some useless Apple POS and tells me how great it is using all the made up marketing bullshit that got them to buy it, I might end up beating them with that same device.

Umm you just proved my point you idiot. There is a demand for starbucks and tim hortons in Tofino. There is no demand, there never was demand, and there never will be a demand for all movies to be in 3D. This is a perfect example of it, and you just owned yourself :lol

Regardless of whether or not there's demand for Starbucks in Tofino, you preach this supply/demand thing, but then when 3D movies get sold out, you bitch and moan about it regardless of the obvious demand of it. You just kinda have to make up your mind across the board.

And, no, didn't really own myself if you actually read what I wrote. Just because you say "there will never be a demand for movies in 3D" doesn't change the fact that a lot of 3D movie showings are often sold out.

(just for the record, I've only watched Avatar and I thought it was alright; just not for me... then again, I won't find the need to feel "directly insulted" that people are creating 3D movies lol)

You don't have to ask me twice to hate Apple and what it does to people, turning formerly respectable people into complete fucking morons. :lol

Nobody said all movies should be in 3D. There is and always will be a 2D market, whether it's because of cost (either on the production side or the purchaser side), artistic direction, usability/filmability...whatever.

Don't like 3D movies? Don't go.

You still fail to see the point, and that is fine. Most people do :)

What's rediculous is that they're re-releasing old movies as 3D movies, and selling as "The ultimate experience in video and sound quality".

has anybody seen clash of the titans yet?

Wow. Simple. /endthread.

It's okay. Skinnypupp still fails to see the point, and that is fine. He usually does

You guys still don't get it... unbelievable. Well actually, not really :lol

they would get it if you told them in 3D
OBVIOUSLY

3d movies..you need a 3d tv

get the samsung..better than crappy sony

or see it at the theatre

3d movies are awesome especially the dinosaur movie i saw a long time ago

Please explain how this is "actively offensive". Considering we have choices of 2D and 3D, and that 3D shows are quite popular. As long as we have choices I am fine with 3D. I saw Avatar in 3D and rather enjoyed it. I also enjoy lots of 2D movies. You might have a point if suddenly everything was switching over to 3D forever.

No one is out to get you, or forcing you to pay more money. It's posts like these which is why you need a fail button.


Fantastically insightful posts sir!

I'm back. What did I miss?

Oh... nothing. lol.

He won't explain it; we're too daft to understand :(
