"3D movies are a waste of a dimension."
Alex C:
Yeah, but in this case it sometimes causes headaches and disorientation for reasons other than moral outrage.
McTaggart:
Once people develop something similar to all the visual shorthand people have with colour using whatever properties 3d has then I think it'll be more useful for films that aren't big gimmicks. I think the tacking on of 3d in post is pretty awful, but if it's filmed in 3d with 3d in mind then I have no problem with it. It still might not be the best use of the technology but the language of 3d isn't developed yet and it's not going to happen without people trying it.

I could say the same for certain sub-genres of electronic music.

See, I actually think Coraline sorta lacked in the 3D department. I just felt like there was so much more they could have included in the 3D, and I was disappointed to not see it used.

Something somewhat new is shitty, big surprise! But people keep using it because it is a new, and exciting technology with a hopefully bright future ahead of it. We aren't gonna get to good great fantastic uses of 3D unless we keep using it. I did not like the movie Avatar. BUT I will say that I thought the 3D was really nicely done. I look forward to seeing something do better than that.
I also look forward to them making 3D glasses that fit me ok.
Also, I just started reading the article. How is 3D "unsuitable for grown-up films of any seriousness"? I mean, shit. Can we talk about Amelie in 3d? Or The Fountain? Or any Aronofsky film, for that matter. Or any film involving the sea, or outer space? These would be fantastic in 3D.
Also, "What would Fargo gain in 3-D?" Awesomeness, thats what! People being killed with Axes IN 3D! Body in a wood chipper IN 3D!
Also, when it gets to the bullshit about Cameron, I just read "ohmigawd! I love James Cameron! My lips are so chapped from kissing his butt and my nose so brown!"
Alex C:
Yeah, darn that Ebert and his opinions about directors who make consistently decent films.
