# seriously?
What use is digital 3D to anyone but a handful of spotty Yank geeks who will go to the cinema so they can tell their spotty geek mates what a 'blast' they had and 'man, I thought it was going to hit me in the face' ( I wish something would ).
The majority of viewers in this day and age will be watching movies from the comfort of their own home where all that expense and gimmickry will be wasted.
Just make the film FFS and stop dragging out a tech that has failed in every decade it has been briefly revived since House of Wax.

# Best you judge when you see the film.
How about that for a radical approach?

# That's my point.
I'll see the film of course and I'll be watching it in my home on my TV from a DVD.
So I'll not be able to judge the 3D element just as the majority of other viewers won't.
I don't read anywhere that I've been judging the film. I just don't understand the need to make it in 3D. It's not exactly made 'bloody valentine' the hit of the decade has it?

I'm not sure what your vested interest is here or if you just want to join the wagon of people who'd like to prod me at any given opportunity but I expressed an opinion that 3D always fails and given that record and the fact that not all the viewers will have that experience when they see it I personally don't understand the need to pursue it. Hardly judging the film.

# I'll be sure to forward your thoughts onto
Messrs Jackson, Spielberg, et al.

Just so you are really clear:

I never said you were judging the film (that would be tricky since it's not even made yet), merely that you could do so *after* watching. But, as ever, your *perception* of what was said took you rather far from what was *actually* said.
But, don't let that stop you.
I know it won't.

Edit: Having skipped the majority of your essay above, I missed this - "prod me at any given opportunity"
What? Are you 12 or something?
Get over it!

# The film is fully CG
making a 3D version would be trivial.

# I remember when they made Jaws 3 in 3D
That was kind of cool.

Except that it was Jaws 3.

# Well, if they aren't
Pasanonic seems to be well tooled-up in the arts of cinematography, perhaps we should ask him to do it.
