None.
Samsung (the ones "ahead of the curve" and making 3D tvs right now) are making chumps out of a lot of trend followers. | 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.

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.

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

| 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. Quote:

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)

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. Quote:
