3-D

I don't like it...
I don't get it...
I don't want it...
Make it go away!

I would be referring to 3D movies...
They are nothing but a way to get more money out of our pockets...

I also don't really appreciate the whole HD TV craze
I do appreciate HD photography...

The reasons I don't like it is because...
It's not real, it's TV/movie and I'm OK with that...

I also don't like 3D because those dumb glasses are
uncomfortable
smudged
annoying
I can't see anything around me in the theater

For example...
What if the guy next to me tries to get into my purse...
What if my kid is making out with his girlfriend...
What if I want to give the stink eye to the guy behind me with the crinkly wrappers...

But what I really don't like about 3D movies is
$$$$
Come on!
Movies are expensive enough!

I don't need to trick myself into thinking that butterfly is flying
right at me
Or confuse my brain into thinking I should duck when the
rock is thrown my way

I 'm perfectly fine watching a regular screen
I'm perfectly happy maintaining my awareness of my surroundings
I don't feel the need to get "lost in the movie"

On Sat night my family and I went to see Tangled
I was sold on the previews
It looked cute
funny
entertaining

and it was
cute
funny
entertaining

I was annoyed that the only option for us to see the
movie in our theater was to cough up the extra $$$
so we would get the smudgy, clunky glasses and
"experience 3D"

I guess I'm just an old fashioned gal...
I just don't see the 3D "advancement" on equal footing
as say, going from black and white to color
Our from silent film to sound...

Oh, that reminds me...
I'm not a big fan of surround sound either...
It's just loud with lots of booming...

Having said all this I will remind you that I live in a home
full of boys...
Boys who are completely sold on this stuff...

My husband saved his pennys an bought himself a HDTV
He has surround sound in the living room...

I dream of a house with a basement or some other distant room where I can
lock them all up and have some peace and quiet...

But that's just me...

  2. I really enjoyed Tangled. It was a good movie I thought. I also hate HD. I will do about anything to avoid it. I also was bothered by not having a local 2D option. Sigh.

  3. Ok, I gotta chime in and agree. Not about the HD, I love that. But the 3d stuff is so annoying to me. For all the reasons you gave. Hate the glasses - gotta wear em over my own. It also makes the screen look smaller, side to side. Hate it!
