Comments on: AVATAR AND DELGO, SITTING IN A TREE http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2009/08/avatar-and-delgo-sitting-in-a-tree FilmDrunk.com is the movie blog that plays rough, just the way your mother likes it. We cover all things movie-related, but just because we watch a lot of movies don’t expect us to act all serious about them. Think of FilmDrunk as the film industry’s older brother who punches it in the shoulder when it acts queer.

Sun, 23 Aug 2009 02:57:33 +0000 http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/?p=17721#comment-214384 According to wikipedia: <i>The stereoscopic era of motion pictures began in the late 1890s when British film pioneer William Friese-Greene filed a patent for a 3-D movie process.</i> If 3D is "superior technology" and has been around for over 100 years, then why don't all movies use it? Because it's a gimmick heavily relied on by shitty movies. As Michelle said, it made UP better, but UP was a great movie without 3D. Great movies filmed in color are still good movies in black and white. If Avatar is a great movie, it should still be great without the 3D. Too bad it looks like a giant turd when it's not in 3D.

I'm pretty sure its just a superior technology. And since it was made specifically for 3D judging it on a 2D trailer is just dumb. i’m not sure that 3D is a gimmick – was color tv a gimmick back when it first came out?

I shared the same thoughts as Hairy Nutsack for it being "incredibly cartoony looking" but it definitely makes a difference seeing more than 2 minutes of it on the big screen. It's going to be good.
