Another semi-coherent rambling complaint...
Dear Film Industry:
Please, for the love of your big-screen fans, get over this love affair with 3D. Alternatively, please develop 3D glasses that are compatible with eyeglasses, perhaps in the form of clip-ons, or sticky lenses that can be easily applied to and then removed from a moviegoer's own specs.
This is a huge issue for me. I went online today to look up Fright Night, and discovered it's only showing in 3D, which means I can't go and see it, because I despise the glasses that come with the experience. They're not designed well. They don't fit over my glasses. They slide down my nose and fall off. In short, ladies and gentlemen, they detract from my experience of the film, and pull me out of the story.
You did this to me for Harry Potter 7.5, and you're going to screw me over this way with other movies I really want to see.
I don't even care that much for 3D. Life is in 3D, for crying out loud. I'm sure that the way people raved about Avatar and the effects gave you all commerce-boners, but people have been falling headlong into movies in plain old 2D for decades now, and the reason for that has been good storytelling, not 'feeling like the snow is coming right at me'.
Please stop this idiocy and use all of that money to develop scripts written by people with fresh, exciting, innovative ideas. We have enough Jennifer Aniston rom-coms. Everything else is not too intellectual for the North American mind, I swear. Some of us are hungering for something new and fresh.
In short, either fix the problems with 3D, or get rid of it. And no matter what, spend more in your budgets for good writers and stories, you twerps.
