3D, death to boring!

I'm obsessed with anything 3D. I think it started when I was really young, maybe there were some 3D glasses in the cereal box, and maybe I hung out with the back of that cereal box decoding things with my cool glasses for far too long. Maybe I wore those glasses everywhere. I excitedly waited to see stuff in 3D and sadly everything was in boring ol' 2D. My childhood was dimensionally a disappointment.

But today that is different.

I think my 3D lapse happened last year when I saw Avatar in theaters.

First of all, the glasses aren't the same. They are like freaking Buddy Holly glasses; you could wear them anywhere and not look like a blue/red lensed freak.

Second, oh my gosh! Everything is so altered. I literally felt like I was in Pandora because it looked like these blue creatures were right next to me. Simple things in the movie, like water droplets actually looking like they will spill on you, took me over the edge. I mean it was a total experience. Mind blown.

And lastly, I thought it was like the best thing that ever happened to me. For 2 hours I was having a blast in my fantasy world and then I took off my glasses and I realized that I was in a crappy theatre with my dad and sister.

So what do I do? I see it a couple more times in theaters. I always pay the extra 5 bucks to see it in 3D. Then I get totally over it and don't even think of it for 3 months. BAM! Avatar comes out on DVD and then I'm like, "oh yeah, that movie was awesome. I'm totally going to pay money to have that forever."

I get home and pop it in.

Is this even the same movie? This sucks. I need glasses.

The use of 3D technology has been around since the 50s, but with now with computer technology available, the quality and quantity of 3D images is amazing. There are some haters out there (like people who can't see in 3D), but I feel like the majority of people are riding this 3D bandwagon with me.

Today everything is in 3D. Everything. Movies. Comic books. Pornos. Websites. Crest Whitestrips (which what does that even mean?) Teams of people are working to take 3D even further. 3D Video games & Computer games are going to be developed our lifetimes!

So point being, if you made a movie about something bogus like Sarah Palin clipping her toenails, I'd probably see it... if it was in 3D.
