Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I prefer 2D
That's my point, Laga. I can't actually see 3D and am plagued by what feels like the coming lack of choice between not seeing anything in the theatre and having a raging headache.

3D is great for stuff like Coraline, but Monsters vs. Aliens would have been just as good in 2D and I've heard the after-the-fact 3D process actually made Clash of the Titans more of a crapfest than it would have been otherwise.

That's the other thing.
The application of 3D technology seems completely divorced from its service to the material. Pretty soon, they'll be remaking Jane Austen movies in 3D. "See the parasols coming right AT YOU!!"
Feh.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
you heard they will televise the royal wedding in 3D right?
When I heard that, I just threw up my hands. WTF is the point of that?

Maybe they'll mount shakycams on the Flower Girl and Ringbearer for extra coverage.

::shakes her head in disgust::
I'm glad to see the Beeb rep is 'unenthused' and I suppose I, too, can see the archival benefit, but historians have made due with 2D film since...well, film. So, yeah. Feh.

Okay, I'm not all over 3D, but you do realise that historians made do with silent and black and white too? It's not exactly the most unassailable of positions.
