Is 3D being over done?

I personally feel 3D is over the top for tv. I don't want to have to wear glasses everytime I want to watch something on the tube.

(then again, it could have been the booze we snuck into the theatre)

Bingo!

I think certain theaters should cater to this market. Serving alcohol at the movies would make the experience much better for certain films.

My problem with 3D is that I wear GLASSES. Have you tried fitting the 3D glasses you have to buy with each tickets over your prescription glasses? (I can't wear contacts). I think they need to make a pair of clip-ons for those who wear glasses.

I also think it's ridiculous to make you buy another set of 3D glasses for each movie and I was told that you have to pay extra to cover the cost of the 3D glasses. Why can't they just be upfront and say, "Hey! We haven't screwed enough people out of their money today so pay extra!"

We have one here in Richmond, too. New theater downtown, pretty nice.

As for 3D, I have to agree with T.G. Movie execs & producers, including James Cameron, were interviewed in USA Today last week (I know, I know, but I was in a hotel and got it for free...) and said pretty much the same thing. They're not thinking of 3D as a gimmick, but as a tool. More films will use the technique, until it's refined and becomes part of the "movie experience," like sound and color were before it.

Hopefully by then they'll figure out why I get nauseous in 3D.
