This is a normal post more movies will be made 3d due to them not only being a novelty that is earning money
BUT and its a big but, it is also an aid to stopping piracy.

This is a normal post I don't really get how that's going to work
Because they're going to have to release the films to DVD/Blu-ray or miss out on hundreds of millions of dollars of revenue. Once you've done that the pirates will be all over it.

This is a normal post what they are hoping
is to reach a point where they can release a movie ONLY in 3D at the cinemas, thereby stopping camcorders from recording them in theatres. If 3D becomes popular enough, you'll never see another 3D and 2D cinema release at the same time - the 2D version will get released weeks later.

This is a normal post Interesting
Never thought of the piracy thang. Surely not intentional though.

This is a normal post I'd be very surprised if anything
other than a blockbuster action movie or a kids film gets released in 3D.

Anything aimed at adults and with a decent plot is going to be ruined by having to have pointy-stick moments shoehorned in.

That said, there are 2 moments in Antichrist that would have been fantastic in it.

This is a normal post I'm sure similar comments were made in the 1920s about the use of colour

This is a normal post .. or in the 70s about 3D!
That said, ultimately colour did add very little.

Good black and white films are still good, shit colour films are still shit.

In terms of technological advancement, surely computer games are far more immersing than 3D cinema and thus that area of screen entertainment is far more advanced than cinema will ever be.

Cinema is great for story telling and reflection, so I wish it would stick to that.

This is a normal post Stick one of the glasses lenses over the camcorder lens
Voila, 2d.

This is a normal post surely a polarising lens on the camcorder would allow recording in 2d though

This is a normal post Exactly
Or (if such things exist) some kind of polarising prism(s) to direct the left and night images to separate CCDs so they can be recorded. The picture can be easily re-merged in post-production and dropped on to the format of your choice.

This is a normal post does it stop piracy?
the film still works when copied, at least until the polarising version of 3D comes along...

This is a normal post No
It's still possible to pirate a 3D film, especially one like avatar where the 3D is quite subtle and many scenes don't look all that blurry with the glasses off. or if you're really clever you can adjust the shutter speed and cut most of one of the stereoscopic images, it isn't perfect and would look pretty crap but pirates have never really cared about that anyway.
