It's Official! CLASH OF THE TITANS & Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to be released in 3D!!!
Hey folks, Harry here with the news that the last two HARRY POTTER flicks and CLASH OF THE TITANS will absolutely be in 3D upon release. This is AWESOME news. The most recent Harry Potter had just a couple of sequences in 3D at IMAX, and they were quite awesome, but I hate pieces of movies in 3D & not just the whole thing. If you want a quick example of how AVATAR is changing cinema - here you have it. You can read much much more here: Click Here To Read About 3D awesome! This and the iTab in one day! Now, tonight when Obama dissolves Congress & the Supreme Court - nationalizes insurance and healthcare & introduces the new magic 700 hour battery powered flying cars for every American. Well... it'll be a perfect day. Giggle.

so it's getting a cinema release!

Fourth or fifth.

i just finally saw it this past weekend and i noticed a few scenes weren't 3D at all. like the whole opening with the camera flying over the planet, you'd think that would have been but no. it was always little scenes here and there, i honestly doubt it added up to more than 1 or 2mins but i was just surprised there was any at all. oh and to throw my belated 2 cents on the movie, i thought it was pretty cool. it wasn't awesome or amazing, my eyes are still virgins but it was still good. and as neat as the 3D was, it was definately a gimmick that added nothing, it was actually distracting for the first 20mins or so and then i barely noticed it anymore.
-
I'm sure David Yates will still find some way to muck up Harry Potter, despite it being in 3D.

IN 3-D!!!!!!!!!!

Bouncy: the ENTIRE Avatar film is in 3D. MANY layers in every co
by flip63hole
See an eye doctor. EVERY scene. If you didn't notice simple stuff like particles floating in the air or dust on a window, or the composition of where people were, you're blind...
-
If there was hardly ANY 3D in Avatar, why was it so distracting in the first 20 minutes??? See it again, bro. In Imax. The whole thing is in 3D. Hope that helps...
-
I thought George Bush already dissolved congress and ruined Democracy. Oh my bad those are LIBERAL dreams.
-
They weren't shot in 3D, so applying it now is a marketing decision, not an artistic one. I'll be seeing the non-3D version of both.

I can't wait for the first 3D Merchant Ivory-type film
by battle_royale_with_cheese
Watching classically trained British actors pacing around pensively in a Victorian setting will be all the more glorious if it's in 3D.
-
Every time I've seen one of these things in 3D, even Avatar, I've been distracted from all the other subtle nuances of film. I saw Avatar in not-3D and thought it was incredibly better. Everything was clear, crisp, and there wasn't any blurry shit in the fore/backgroud. I'm personally really sad that these two films, which I were looking forward to VERY much are going to be released in 3D. Do the studios REALLY care what we think? Or do they just see it as an extra 2-3 bucks a ticket?
-
what a dumb ass idea of splitting the film into 2 parts though. And an even dumber idea to give it to the shittiest director of the series (well Chris Colombus is pretty bad too).
-
I predicted this would happen. A year or two from now, the novelty will have worn off and people will only remember Avatar as the movie that sparked a momentary fad.
-
Fuck 3D.
-
Therefore, once Hollywood figures out how to tap the power of the space-time continuum, 4D will be fucking your eyes in no time. Literally.
-
Not to shit on your day, Harry, but the iPad is terribly lame.http://tinyurl.com/nnuh3nAnd aren't they retrofitting 3D into CLASH? I remain skeptical that it will work. If the change AVATAR has brought to the industry is nothing more that thoughtless, artless cash-ins... well, that's not much change after all.Hey, kind of like the iPad.
-
I guess you want Obama to be the Emperor Harry!
-
about everything coming out in 3-D, and old favorites ( Sophie's Choice IN 3-D! Now you'll really FEEL the choice!!! )..and was thinking about 2001. The Dawn Of Man, the bone into spaceship, the PanAm clipper and space station, lunar landscape, the Discovery, the pods, the memoryroom of Hal, and most of all the slit-scan effects....damn, I think I'd really like to see 2001 in 3D.
-
I don't know the ins and outs, but it seems to me that the 3D effect is superior when the movie is shot in 3D, as opposed to converted into 3D. Avatar being the prime example.

-
Overrated and a gimmick!!!!!! Dont buy into the hype, or we will soon have to convert our still new hdtvs to new 3-D hdtvs. Cmonc cant the studios think of anything original to bleed us out of our money?!!!!
-
How are there identical 2D and 3D versions of films released? Okay, I'm now officially confused.
-
If I found out you accidentally walked into The Blind Side last weekend, I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
-
I still don't give a shit about 3d.
-
What next?...A re-release of 'Gone With The Wind' in 3D? Now, more than what's already going on, film makers are gonna just gonna slap 3D movies together while sacrificing story and character...two of the things that TRULY make a film worth watching and memorable. Don't get me wrong, we'll always need simplistic escapism, but now the studios are gonna force 3D on directors and such when it's completely unnecessary...like MGM did to Darren Aronofsky's Robocop remake. Which, in turn, will lead to studios going with hacks to make their films because they'll do what the studio wants instead of what the story deserves.
-
"Now, tonight when Obama dissolves Congress & the Supreme Court - nationalizes insurance and healthcare"I thought he had already done that. Hmm. Well, I'm sure he'll get around to it. If you're expecting flying cars from the government, well . . . get ready for some bitter disappointment.
-
Flip63Hole, i never said there was hardly any 3D, i said there was about 2mins of scenes not in 3D. and i know for a fact that they weren't 3D because you could tell right away but i even lifted my glasses off to check and the image was normal for those scenes, it wasn't fuzzy like the 3D ones. now i did see it in RealD so maybe for whatever reason its different there compared to IMAX but yeah, the movie was definately not 100% 3D, more like 99.9%.
-
Was crazy awesome in converted 3D. But, I'm sure your mileage may vary.
-
If it makes money, do more of it ... kind of hard to argue with that logic. I've become a bit of a grumpy skeptic in my old age, but I have to admit that the IMAX 3D version of Avatar was worth a couple of extra bucks.
It sure raises the bar on anyone creating fantasy worlds though - New Zealand landscapes alone aren't going to cut it any more. -
3D is okay in small amounts but not every movie needs it. I waiting for a 3D movie to bomb big time, and the 2D version to do better in sales than the 3D version. Or in general a movie to bomb period that's released in 2D and 3D and then studios do a double take.
-
But stage audiences have already seen Daniel Radcliffe's wand coming at them.
-
I really would pay extra to not see a movie in 3-D. I've been forced to see (in many cases my local theater only shows the 3-d version) all the big 3-D releases and it does nothing at all for me. I'm not any more immersed in the story than if I were watching a 2-D film. Worse, I'm more distracted by the stupid glasses and the mild headache. The whole thing is just a gimmicky move to charge more. Say it with me now! I DON'T WANT 3-D!
-
1. Bouncy, every part of Avatar was shot in 3D. Some shots are just more 3D than others, but for the most part, 3D movies aren't blurry when you take off the specs.
2. Bringing politics into this is stupid. 3. Like kevinwillis, I too thought the 3D retrofitted Nightmare Before Christmas was awesome. Same goes for Toy Story 1 and 2. Retrofitted 3D still looks great. -
Fuck yes.
-
3D BLOWS. End of story. I don't want to watch every damned blockbuster release trapped inside some scratched up, one-size-fits-all plastic pair of lunettes. Fuck. This. Shit.

Rerelease everything in 3D, including classic television...
by soylentmean
I want to see Mr. Ed in 3D or Twilight Zone episodes in 3D!
-
WEEEEEEEEEZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOU FOR ONCE AGAIN SKIPPING YOUR DVD SECTION. FUCK YOU, YOU PIECE OF SHIT.
-
Avatar did both. That way people like gruntybear can still see it without bitching.
-
I want them as a fuckin' option at the theater, not as something I have to order from a specialty site online.
-
Ned Nederlander in 3-D will rape your virginal eyeballs.
-
Imagine that "on top of" high definition. Naughty.
-
Sick of 3D. Like Bouncy, I forget about it almost at once, and only intermittently notice it after that. The only truly enjoyable 3D experience I ever had was some obscure "Disney Under the Sea" thing... And AVATAR'S predictable story (predicted in its own trailers!) and leaden characters cold not be overcome by its occasional Viewmaster effect. I hope everyone gets over 3D soon...
-
as long as we get the original intended version as well.
Who doesn't want to live in a Clockwork Orange world where we all viddie our lives away? -
Saw Avatar in IMAX 3D (real, giant IMAX) and my eyes were hurting throughout the movie. Had to keep taking the glasses off and closing my eyes. Plus, the action scenes were really blurry, and the film seemed realy dark - couldn't see the details on any of the creatures. The 3D was far too distracting for me (in a bad way), so I can't even comment on the actual film itself. And if Avatar is the best they can do with 3D, then I'm done with it.
-
It won't be the President dissolving the powers of the U.S. government, cause that already has happened at the fault of corporate banking, pharmaceutical companies, and the oil/coal industry. So keep your rhetoric to where it's appropriate.
-
If only you could see just how stupid you just made yourself look, Harry.
Oh ya and Clash of the Titans 3D sounds okay. But I won't pay extra for it. -
when you live within 10-15 of a theater that has some of that technology, but when the closest one is an hour and a half away it seems a lot less intriguing.
-
My theature just shows 2d. Obama should mandate 3d in every theature. My town doesn't have broadband, so he should provide a global communications satelite to provide high speed communications in every town.
LOL!!! -
Jim over there had the scoop before anyone...
-
I'm less likely to get depressed after seeing three dimensional fauna and flora because I don't live in the city. :)
-
Now.
-
It's a great idea. Dunno if you've read any of the Harry Potter books, but they've been cutting SO much out of the last three movies they are almost different stories. For example, in the most recent movie (Half-Blood Prince), we got exactly two short scenes from Tom Riddle's pre-Voldemort life, while the book pretty much showed all of Riddle's big decisions in life and how exactly he ended up the way he did. Not to mention a heck of a lot more explanation about the Half Blood Prince and how his book was affecting Harry. By splitting the last story into two movies, they should be able to keep a lot of the content in while still going for their greedy short movies like the last few that can guaranteee more showings in a day.
-
This is the studio's trying to make every movie ticket 14.50 or worse. Fuck them. I'll see both of these in 2-D because unlike Avatar they were not filmed for 3D.
-
Sore eyeballs: CHECK! Sore asshole: CHECK!!!
-
...meet my demands?
-
Its the iPad. Not much better.
-
I traveled quite a ways to see Beowulf in 3D, too. Overall (gas plus ticket prices) I didn't think it was worth it. I might have felt a little less slighted had I not had to go so far.
-
I mean if Clash is going to be in 3D then it was most certainly not filmed that way. So what we're gonna have is that crappy 3D that is done to a 2D movie. I like 3D movies but only if they were intentionally filmed that was, a la Avatar. 2D is still the best way to watch a movie as I have not found the experience to increase my enjoyment of a movie. Better Script and Better Directors please!
-
No, I do not have strange wounds where Christ had his. I am astigmatic; I have a different eyesight in each eye. 3D simply does not work on me. I can't do those Magic Eye things. I did see Avatar in 3D (my little brother is 12 and I couldn't rob him of the experience) but I had to take off the glasses about 5 minutes in and just watch from there. Luckily the main characters and set pieces were in focus, with the periphery just blurred out. 3D gives me the most excruciating headache. FUCK 3D. FUCK IT LIKE YOUR MOM FUCKED YOUR DAD. OUT OF PITY.
-
In other words, we'll not get a ton of films with shitty basement quality 3D, just as we got a ton of films with shitty morphing effects after Terminator 2. Cameron said as much before Avatar was released. I've nothing against high quality 3D, but retro fitting 2D films with 3D is bound to look sucky (which is the cheaper option so will be used with many films). Expect an announcement in the next few months that The Hobbit will be shot in 3D. And I have no doubt Lucas will make a new SW film now. Avatar has blown smoke up his ass, and he's not going to wander off quietly into retirement without one last hurrah.
-
or at least nowhere near where things of interest (3D movies not being the the least of these) does kinda suck sometimes. Although I don't know if I'd go see something like Avatar, even if it were closer. It just never hooked me. For me to go out of my way to see something in 3d (or track it down in limited release or something) I have to have a connection with the movie on an emotional level (with Beowulf it was growing up reading it, discussing it with my dad, and good teachers/professors) or be deeply interested in it for some reason other than, "Here it is, give us your money."
-
shit I'll even take a 3D Bad Boys 2! 3D makes even the shittiest film watchable!
-
You'd think 3-D Man would be a no-brainer?
-
Question: When they made the 2d Avatar, did they just pick one of the two cameras and drop the other? Basically, did they just say "Keep the LEFT shot" or was there more to it than that?
While I liked the 3d, I can imagine the 2d had a crisper picture. -
for fun i would sometimes just close one eye and the image would be totally 2D and just as nice. so maybe it is as simple as picking one camera or angle.
-
LOVE this site and come here numerous times a day, but Harry, sometimes you depress me. This website is for "The best in TV, DVD, and comic book news." Your childish sarcasm on politics comes off as quite immature. You have your thoughts and I have my own. If you wanna pretend to be Bill Maher, make another site, as to not alienate us with your HILARIOUS humor. Or at LEAST keep it to a 'political related post'.
ANYWAYS...Potter in 3D will be pretty rad, and if you dont like 3D...GO SEE THE NORMAL 2D RELEASE!
PS..that Patriot comment was hilarious. -
NO KIDDING! I ran across an article on Lucas prepping that CGI musical on 'fairies' and didnt care, but was shocked it hadn't been talked about on here. I suppose that might have something to do with Sundance.
-
3D is just a conspiracy to get people to see movies in a theater instead of waiting for it to come out on DVD. I have not seen a 3D movie yet that really deserved to be in 3D and I have seen a lot of them. If Avatar was a person I would say the same thing to it's face.
-
Come on, this isn't a communist takeover.
-
Shows what hard work and determination will get you.
-
can't wait for balls and excrement in 3d! oh shit,i'm gonna have to get baked for that one and i don't even smoke pot
-
NOT SOON ENOUGH!!!
-
Saw Avatar in 3D in IMAX. The whole point of IMAX is the amazing clarity of the picture. With 3D you get 3 dimensional semi-clear foregrounds with pretty much blurry hard to follow backgrounds. I want to experience IMAX not bullshit 3D!
-
In my area, it's impossible to find Avatar without the 3D. The theaters around here really bought into the gimmick and now everybody has at least one 3D projector, so nobody shows it in 2D.
-
A little blurring here and there, sure, but overall it was amazing. It seemed to make the distance between the screen and the audience feel like inches. Truly amazing. It felt so natural too you often forgot it was in 3D, very subtle.
-
Not a very well concealed conspiracy, apparently.
-
So harry....you really want a facist running the country. because dissolving congress and the SCOTUS is something facists and marxists do.
God your a fucking idiot about just about everything but movies. -
your explanation makes no sense. As long as you wear your Rx glasses under the 3-D set, it works. Your left eye sees a left-eye-image, offest a bit from the right eye's right-eye-image... Astigmatism doesn't change the distance between your eyes (the feature of our binocular vision which imparts 3-D perception). So the same 3-D that works for others works for us. Retard.
-
I refuse to see another movie in 3-D. It adds nothing to the movie and is only irritating.
-
I don't get why everything has to be 3D now. Flickery crap.
-

Scariest movie ever in 3D would be Sex in the City 2 Ahhh!!!!
by orionsangels
-
I was worried there for a moment. Does Harry Hamlin cameo?
-
But what do I know? A home will never need anything more than a Commodore 64.
-
We all need to face the fact that movies as a whole really aren't that good anymore. Avatar looked amazing, but the story was God awful and 3D did not add one thing to the film. The movie going audience has to stop letting companies force this garbage down our throats just because they can make a fast buck by slapping some 3D on a movie. If I want to see crap in the 3D I will go to the rest room instead of a movie theater.
-
Everyone who wanted a Kindle will get this instead bc you can surf the net, listen to music, and download newspapers too. And apple products are sexy too. I predict this being a bigger hit than all those other EReaders.
-
As long as the movies are released in both 2D and 3D format, I don't see the problem. In the worst case, you'll have to wait for the Blu-Ray or DVD.
I just hope that future movies will not be full of those childish 'right at your face' moments as some of the older 3D movies do. -
I don't understand all the hate for 3D. I've never gotten a headache from it. Cinema evolves... a long progression from sound to color to 3D. Change hurts, but corporate visionaries always wins.... why fight what you can't change!! You'll always go and see the movie that comes with toys in a happy meal box!! As sad as it is, 3D makes me shell out the money for an experience!! I guess we're all doomed. I'm going to go masturbate now, go to sleep, and fucking go to work tomorrow.
-
You take those words back right now. 3D is a gimmick. It's a ploy to cover up the lack of imagination and story that the film should be able to give us in 2D. Why do random objects appearing closer than they really are make you ignore the fact that the movie you are watching is bad?
-
Oh PLease no, please no. I trust Peter Jackson and Del Toro know better. Or could this be the reason for the delay on The Hobbit??? Considering 3D??? NOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
3D has not been fulfilled to it's maximum. Not even close. Don't you understand that it needs to be excepted before smaller budgeted films use it. I believe smaller budgeted films will use it in a way you'll except it. This will take time. It's a new color in the pallet of cinema theater going!!
-
I was at Showest a few years ago when George Lucas and James Cameron were talking about 3-D. (We got to see the first 5 minutes of A New Hope and the Battle of Pelanor Fields from Return of the King in 3-D. It was awesome and just as good as Avatar's 3-D if I recall.) My understanding was that the movie did not need to be shot in 3-D, although it did help if you planned shots for it. They showed a montage of clips from movies that were not 3-D, including shots from Terminator 2, Star Wars 2 and a few others I can't remember. The one that blew me away was Lord of the Rings, when the Ollyphants charged it looked like dust was being kicked up all over the room. And the opening crawl of a New Hope looked incredible.
Chances are, Clash of the Titans and Deathly Hollows had an idea that they would get the 3-D treatment. I'm sure they planned for it and will make good use of the tech. -
Peter Jackson appeared in a recorded message at the demo and said that the Lord of the Rings trilogy would be released in 3-D in theatres. Again, this was a few years ago, but I doubt the plan has changed. I'd wager that they will be released in theatres along with the Hobbit.
-
TAKE YOUR 3D AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR FUCKING ASSHOLES YOU UNORIGINAL FUCKTARDS. YOU'RE NOT JAMES CAMERON, SO JUST FUCK OFF. AVATAR 3D WAS A UNIQUE EXPERIENCE, BECAUSE IT BELONGED TO THAT SPECIFIC FILM. I DON'T WANT TO WATCH HARRY POTTER IN 3D, I DON'T WANT TO WATCH TRANSFORMERS IN 3D, AND I DON'T WANT TO WATCH FUCKING SHINDLER'S LIST, GODFATHER, STAR WARS, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, SUPERMAN, BAD BOYS 3, DEEP THROAT ETC ETC IN 3D. JUST. FUCK. OFF. FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF.
-
Typical fucking hollywood. They see an idea, and jump on it, rape it, mutilate it, until it's no longer unique and enjoyable. TYPICAL FUCKING WORTHLESS CUNTS.
-
Made it better. 'Specially in IMAX. Doesn't mean everything should be. There's a reason this gimmick died in the 50's. They keep trying to bring it back, and it keeps going away when it becomes a parody of itself. See certain 80's sequels hyped in 3D that sucked. Alice In Wonderland is going to be awesome in 3D, Toy Story could be, but something like Twight... nah.
-
Studio suits want to make A V A T A R money, eh? Stupid monkeys.

by nomoredirtyjokespleaseweareyanks
I so desperately need to see 2001 in 3D I feel like clubbing someone to death for their watering hole....
-
If it did people will flock to see any movie in 3D and I don't think it will happen here. Harry Potter fans will see Harry Potter and Clash of the Titants will be only a small hit, if even that.
-
I swear that sub-par crap will ruin 3d and give it a bad rep. If you want 3d, SHOOT for and IN 3d.
-
Guy: "Hey, umm, why are there so many horses in the theater tonight?
Usher: "I think they're all here to see Sex in the City, the Imax experience."
Horse at refreshments counter: "18.50 for a salt lick? JEEZUS!! *whinnie*"
This msg brought to you by a Manatee. -
With a headache and out of focus too. Marvelous. And fuck 3D by the way.
-
"Clash," that'll be one I'll wait for cable. "Deathly Hallows," I'll be damned if I'll see that in 3D. I saw "Order of the Phoenix" with the "special 3D scenes," and it was insultingly bad and unnecessary. I'll see it in 2D.
-
...I too liked AVATAR--liked as in past-tense, as in "while I sat in my seat in the theater." Once it's over, well, it really doesn't carry much in originality, just as many and many more have said. Oh, and, just b/c a movie makes a lot of money doesn't make it "good." An idea does not gain truth as it gains followers. (Also, remember that AVATAR is REALLY #26 when adjusted for inflation--GONE WITH THE WIND is still WAAAYYYYY #1 and probably always will be, b/c people HAD to go the theater to watch a movie back then, couldn't watch it once and then download it from the internet, couldn't get it on DVD or VHS, they HAD to go to the theater, therefore people went time and time again. With the advent of the internet, and the ability to get a movie online the day BEFORE it releases, just means that nothing will probably ever beat GWTW.) So, in my opinion, the haters have a ligitimate claim on bashing this one. Too much hype, not enough to be worth paying 40% more,and now we are going to HAVE to watch movies in 3D, pay more at the theater, and suffer through distracting 3D (for those of us who don't like it) and it's all because of AVATAR. For some, this movie is the new messiah for film, for others who are more cautious before proclaiming the rise of this new so-called "savior"...well, they are all that's keeping us from falling TOTALLY for the little carrot that Hollywood and corporations dangle in front of our noses. Honestly, we DO need a 3D film to flop, and in a HUGE way, and it has to happen soon or else we lose some levity. Anyways...we're all just floating...
-
Neither film has been officially confirmed by the studio. Sure, they were impressed by some test footage, but unfortunately no official announcement has been made. Look at this quote from the article:
"Warners refused to confirm the decisions Tuesday, but an announcement on "Titans" -- a co-production with Legendary Pictures -- is expected by week's end. Official word on the "Potter" pics also is awaited."
They could be fooling around with the idea, but until they say something official it isn't as...well, as "official" as you say it is. Not to be a pain in the ass, but c'mon man. -
So I'm expected to pay $20 or more per ticket if I want to see a movie. Oh, and if I don't see it in 3D, I'll be "missing out" somehow. Also, at least neither Barak Obama nor Steve Jobs is morbidly obese.
-
I bought two LCD'S last year and now these fuckers expect me to buy a 3D TV? Kizz my azz!I'm sure 3D porno will soon follow.hmmm.....
-
3D, each time it's revived, makes the product instantly dated.
-
I really didn't dig Avatar. Even the 3D. I refuse to wear those stupid glasses ever again. Therefore, I won't be seeing any more 3D movies. Take that gimmicky directors!
-
After watching it in 3D, I went to see it in 2D to see how it feels. Visually stunning. Totally enjoyable. Just as great as 3D. But you have to see it in 3D at least once.

There is no point now in any blockbuster NOT being in 3D
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
Avatar decisively proved 3D's worth and demonstrated to anyone with a pair of eyes and a functioning brain that this technique, used correctly, could add immeasurably, and in subtle and artistic ways, to the filmmaking process. Though, as per usual, I see there are still a few clueless and moronic hold-outs. Get used to it. 3D is the future of big filmmaking.
-
more non-news. A blockbuster film getting made in 3D too? You don't say!? The last how many Harry Potters have had at least some part available in 3D? 2-3 at least.
I also can't believe all the people bitching that the fact they are coming out in 3D means they are skipping the movie. FFS people, it is still coming out in 2D. Most theaters can't do 3D in case you haven't noticed. They spend 100M on a movie, they're not going to release to 300 screens instead of 3000 -
What does that have to do with 3D?
-
He wants this talkback to get huge because he wants people to be thinking about 3D... so that's why he threw in the BS about Obama and socialism. That's why he giggled like a little girl. Don't take the bait.
-
..that's right I'm talking about chriissssmm.Or that Coughlin douchebag.Wait for it..
-
anyone who likes 3d is a complete and utter tool of the system, you and your stupid opinions deserve to be raped by their step-fathers and bitch slapped by their mothers...how dare the studios offer someone another option besides 2-d, what is the world coming to when our children are submitted to choice that caters to these liberal 3-D lovers. these arsehole 3-Dophile posters on this site are just a bunch of trolls, i hope they choke on their words as they inconsideratley express there love for something different. They need to straighten up and fly right! Damn it all to hell...it's all Obamas' fault..if McCain would have won...he wouldn't have allowed this to happen... Old school is ALL we need, i have not been this outraged since they put them fuckin peanuts in my m&m's...and i dont wanna hear that I can still get the plain old m&m's that I grew up with..thats not the point, and it is irrelevent
-
I didn't realize there were so many people out there who hated depth perception. I enjoy depth perception, I like my color vision. I guess I'm weird.

Too me, it feels like a gimmick. I liked Avatar in 3D, but I don't want every movie to be in 3D now, which they inevitably will now that Avatar has made such a shit ton of money. Like someone else said, if the change that 3D is making is a shift towards shameless cash-ins on the shiny new gimmick, then it's really not much of a change after all. Also, even when 3D is done well ... the 3D is the star. Not the stories, not the acting, the 3D. All I could think about when watching Avatar was "Wow, pretty good 3D" (that and "everything that's not coming out of the middle of the screen looks fuzzy"). I'm not a fan of 3D; it seems to distract people from the elements of a film that actually make it great (*cough* THEONLYREASONAVATARISAHIT *cough*). So, thanks but no thanks, I won't be seeing Harry Potter in 3D. I won't be seeing Clash of the Titans in 3D either, but that's more because I won't be seeing the movie period.

Yup, the only reason Avatar is a hit is because of the 3D
by turd_has_risen_from_the_grave
Nothing at all to do with the stunning visuals, relatable characters, simple but universal and emotional main story, great action, fully realized epic fanatsy world. All negligible elements. Hey, My Bloody Valentine 3D must be one of the top grossing movies of all time - oh, wait. It isn't.Fuzzy elements in the middle of the screen? Word to the wise - don't get stoned before you go see Avatar, you fucking idiot.

I knew I'd make someone mad. I was exaggerating about Avatar, obviously. Also, I wasn't talking about financial success -- I was talking about critical success. The critics loved the movie for some reason, and I personally think it was because of the 3D element distracting them from the weak characters and emotionLESS plot. And yes, sometimes the visuals were a little fuzzy, esepcially towards the edge of the screen. I didn't see this film stoned, nor have I ever seen a movie stoned. So, all in all, it's all just like, my opinion, man. No reason to get so worked up.

Championship Bout between Batman and Captain America pt 3
by dirk_the_amoeba
The present
Now, 66 years after sucking down the super serum, the legend known as Captain America enters the squared hexagon, ready to once again do battle with the forces of e-veal!
After entering the square hexagon, Cap lifts his left leg and cuts one so hard that the entire left bank of seats in the arena – some 4700 unsuspecting folks are knocked into a stench induced coma and in the process, have their DNA altered forever. Cap’s farts, his true super power, have been known to make the Hulk cry for his mommy. The carnage is cleared away, and the near 5000 folks waiting outside in the cancellation line who were smart enough to have watched Cap’s last fight and knew what was coming, take their seats. His pre-fight ritual complete, Cap wastes no time reconnoitering the square hexagon. Immediately he spots the gas mask wearing Batman crouched, in the upper right hand corner of the cage, his full weight balanced on just his left little toe, on the upper most link. The Batman thinks to himself ‘The Flag wearing Farter does not know I am here. Advantage, me!’ *ssssssss* ‘ I can see you up there, you, know. These klieg lights are very bright’, Cap says. ‘ He is just guessing, advantage still, me!’ the Batman coos. ‘I can also hear you numbnutz, you are talking out loud!’ Cap replies. ‘ Damn that super soldier hearing of his, I’ll have to switch tactics, can’t let him know I’m rattled!’ ‘Too late, and people in the third row can hear you too!’ ‘ Filthy lies! I have to regain the advantage’ the Batman furiously thinks – out loud.. He immediately drops to the floor, and launches into a: Flying Monkey castrates the hyena with a coconut, maneuver. This catches Cap off-guard and puts him on the defensive. Batman presses his advantage with a: Purple assed Baboon grabs the crotch of the old Lion just for shits and giggles. Cap is furious at the tactic, backpedaling into the fence. The arena erupts, sensing an upset in the making. Batman, feeding off of the excitement, executes a perfect: Pregnant Hippo breaks her water on an unsuspecting carp, this puts Cap on his knees, with the Batman moving in for the kill with a: Horny Spider monkey whacking off on tourists, choke hold. The people in the arena are on their feet screaming, within the space of a few heartbeats, the unthinkable has happened. The Batman has completely neutralized his heavily favored opponent, and is on the verge a stunning upset, erasing the bitter memory of the non-detachable cape, near strangulation fiasco at the hands of the Kingpin. Chants of ‘Bat-Man! Bat-Man! Bat-Man!’ rock the arena. Cap is turning blue under the unrelenting pressure from the cable thick arms of the Batman and his spider monkey whacking off, choke hold. Batman, sensing his opponent’s imminent demise, readies the coup de grace: Spider monkey jizzes in the tourists ear and smokes a joint afterwards, when suddenly Cap remembers he has a weapon in his hand – his shield, and smacks the shit out of Batman. The hold loosens just enough, for 66 years of battle trained reflexes to kick in, as the sentinel of Liberty, breaks free. Cap, staggers to his feet, coughing and wheezing, his vocal chords crushed, his eyes bloodshot and near blinded, and bleeding from their sockets. His cognitive functions severely impaired by lack of oxygen. Batman, surveys the damage he has inflicted, and performs a self assessment ‘left side of skull caved in. Left orbital bone fractured beyond repair. Left bipedal motor function degraded. Short term memory possibly impacted. Short term memory possibly impacted. Short term memory possibly impacted. Floating bone chips moving dangerously close to higher level cognitive functions. I have a hard-on! Yes! I have him right where I want him! Come on big boy time to dance with the flying rat!’ *ssssssss*
The two men warily circle one another. A half blind, mentally impaired, and totally pissed off Captain America. And half-crippled and mentally impaired, and sexually excited Batman. Only one can survive.
Cap decides he must end this now, he feigns to the left and tosses his shield to the right, unfortunately his blindness has impaired his aim, he has double vision, and the figure he thought was Batman, is just a shadow! Batman, sensing his opening attempts to press the advantage, he draws upon his two months of torturous Ballet training, and attempts to execute a grand jeté. But his half crippled left side fails him, and he comes crashing down, unbalanced into Captain America, who immediately grabs Batman’s cape – but, that is all he is left holding, because it immediately detaches, just as it was designed, but before Batman can smirk and scramble away, Cap manages to spin around and grab the oversized belt of the Batman – which does not detach, then he wrestles him to the floor, and applies the unbreakable snake lock with his super serum super sized thighs – which turns Batman even as he is passing out. But before the Batman goes comatose, he whispers just loud enough for only Cap to hear ‘how about we call it a draw?’ ‘Never’ Cap replies, and increases the pressure. ‘Ok, listen if my heart stops, then an envelope will be delivered to the Avengers mansion and to Fox news –it has pictures of you and how you really got the super soldier serum!’ ‘No!’ Cap screams. ‘Yes,’ Batman snickers. ‘I have pics of you sucking on a horse’s schlong to get the super soldier serum into you!’ Cap, loosens the pressure slightly, and says. ‘Those pictures were destroyed, after I kille, er, after the general and the scientists were assassinated. How could you have them?’ Batman smirks, ‘they do not call me the world’s greatest detective for nothing! So, how about that draw now?’. ‘Cap, knowing defeat is near, asks weakly ‘ how, and how do I know you will not send them anyway? I should just kill you now and take my chances!’ Batman, thinking furiously to save his cowled neck replies, ‘look in the large pouch on my belt, oooo, that’s wasn’t my belt, but it felt good, ok yes that pouch, ok look at the picture. See ?’ It was a picture of Batman going down on commissioner Gordon, while Gordon was being cornholed by the Joker’ That explains why the Joker always seems to escape punishment, thought Cap.‘You keep that, as a guarantee, and we can both do a donkey kick to the balls to knock each other out, and it will be a draw’! The Batman said. Cap considers it, puts the pic into his pocket, and says,’ ok, on the count of three, kick, and neither one of us opens his eyes until we get into our dressing rooms!’ ‘Agreed!’ Batman all but screams in delight. Cap counts ‘1-2-3’ and both men kicked for all they were worth at the groins of the other man. They both passed out. The arena erupted again in a near orgasmic scream of cheers. The men were carried out of the arena, as their handlers were already negotiating for Bats vs Cap II.
Epilogue As the men were carried out Batman opened his eyes, thanks to his Bat-Cup, the force of Caps Donkey kick was spread throughout his body -'yet another victory for the Dark Knight' he hisses. *sssssss* -
Captain America opens his eyes, 'that muttering fool is talking to himself again' he thinks. The Benefit of sucking horse dick serum is now Cap has the size and stamina of an elite Thoroughbred Horse. Batmans donkey hardly fazed him. Cap is already thinking about the horse fuck he is gonna lay into The Scarlet Witch. Life is good!
The End – for now -
Seeing as these movies weren't shot specifically for 3-D, ergo: with side-by-side digital cameras, then it's simply a computer application to kind of force a 3-D aspect, right? I might be kind of ignorant on the whole entire film-making process... a good friend of mine did lead in a particular crew capacity on "Final Destination" in New Orleans & she told me about the side-by-side filming to achieve the true digital overlay effect it'd produce. Isn't having HP & CotT in a forced 3-D kinda silly if it ain't a real application? Am I over-analyzing this thread? You betcha. Chalk up another to strong ale. Sorry. Continue with your discourse. I'll be over there, drinking...

I'm still waiting for Carl Stalling to say, "Smewwo-vision wepwaces tewevision!" Or was he the one who "said" it wouldn't work? Well... LONG LIVE BOB CLAMPETT!!! Now, back to the ales.

Except it's twice as annoying and headache-inducing. Why are so many people suddenly enamored with this 60+ year old film trick? Especially for films that weren't specifically filmed with 3-D in mind?It reminds me of when people reacted with AWE and AMAZEMENT when "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" came out in 2000... as if Chinese kung-fu high-wire films HADN'T been shown on American theatres and TV on a continuous basis since the early 1970s.How's about we focus on creating good stories, rather than how to make Harry Potter's wand stick in the audience's face? ...NAH!!!

In its gaping, bleeding, 3-Dimensional cornhole.

If the idea is to make what's on the screen more vivid, then color loss is a definite minus, surely. I would personally be chasing sharper detail. The HD effect on our small screens has been remarkable. Imagine a similar jump in resolution on our big screens. (Although sharper isn't always better - didn't Vilmos Zsigmond have to re-blur one of his movies when it had been artificially sharpened up for Blu Ray?)
