There's an interesting article in today's Wall Street Journal under the headline "Will This 3-D Fad Fizzle Too?" The article makes the point that the whole purpose of 3-D is "to exceed previous...

Re: If it's 3-D, will they come?

Well, my biggest problem at the movies today is having to ask my wife, "What'd he say?" But there once were many nights I parked on the back row of the local drive-in--the row without speakers....

Re: If it's 3-D, will they come?

Apparently my cynicism about 3-D glasses is unwarranted. The only 3-D and glasses I've seen since the cardboard and paper models of the 1950s are those in DisneyWorld, which I recall as being modeled...

Re: If it's 3-D, will they come?

Sounds good, anyway. But I'm guessing that the ear-pieces on the 3-D glasses are fixed straight out so you can't fold them and drop them in your pocket, right? And I'll bet that the plastic used in...

Re: If it's 3-D, will they come?

Maybe. But that's what they said in the 1950s and 1970s-80s. Maybe 3-D will catch on this time. But maybe not.

Re: If it's 3-D, will they come?

I can't swear it happened but I suspect they did at least one Tales from the Crypt type comic in 3-D. I also remember losing or little brothers tearing up the 3-D glasses, which then meant the book...

Re: If it's 3-D, will they come?

Sedai can speak 3-D! :) I'm truly impressed, having never gotten any further myself than "cardboard frames with red and green plastic lenses." The only modern 3-D I've seen were the films at...

Re: If it's 3-D, will they come?

You're right, Mark--Hondo was out of circulation for so long I had forgotten it ever played in 3-D. Actually, in most places it didn't, having been released in both 2-D and 3-D. But Hondo is a good...

Re: If it's 3-D, will they come?

The problem back in the 1950s when I experenced 3-D is that many of the films were not of outstanding quality and relied primarily on the 3-D gimmick. The best of the bunch probably was the House of...
