Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I can think of 2 off the top of my head (Real-D and IMAX 3-D) and since 3D is so hot right now I'm sure it won't be long until Real-D is replaced by something even newer and shinier.

And then at some point some brilliant person will invent a 3D technology that doesn't need glasses at all, and the four-eyed world will rejoice.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

and the biggest sellers will be clip-ons.

Ooh! Want!

The weight problem was due to the shape of my face, and the thickness of goggles over glasses sticking out so far. Clip-ons would fix that. Each studio could do clip-ons for their own brand of 3D--but then you'd have to standardize size and shape, somehow.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I must be the only glasses wearer who didn't have a problem with the 3D glasses. (And after reading Bev's post, I really want 3D *goggles.* That would be super cool.)

I didn't have a problem with it either. I guess that officially means we have Slimline heads.

That's a much more flattering spin on pinheads....

(Pinhead pride!)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I dunno... Zippy the Slimline? It lacks that special ring, somehow.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I didn't have an issue either. They fit pretty well.

Are we having 3D yet?

Punishingly Intricate
