3D

I’ve never wanted to wear 3D glasses more than I do after coming across this nifty, stereoscopic 3D mural from Baltimore’s XXist. The coolest aspect to this piece is the collective raised the necessary funds to pull it off through Kickstarter. Well, okay, that’s secondary to making a 3D mural in the first place, but [...]

I don’t care for 3D movies — both the added expense and the time it takes my brain/eyes to adjust are a nuisance — but I would see The Hobbit in 3D just to wear these spectacles, which are so ridiculously ugly, I’m pretty sure they circle back around to being awesome. Also? The rumor [...]

Here’s an updated, 3D interpretation of the opening level of everyone’s favorite video game. It’s weird seeing watching the opening level with HD sound effects and absent that infamous soundtrack. [via theaggregate]

Any Monty Python fan can appreciate this: Monty Python’s Graham Chapman died in 1989 — but that’s not stopping his old pals from putting together an adaptation of Liar’s Autobiography: Volume VI, his partially fabricated memoir. The project was spurred by a recent discovery of, and will be built around, a taped reading of the book [...]

3-D Starts to Fizzle

by James Furbush on May 30, 2011

Anyone with half a brain that goes to the movies on a regular basis would know this was going to happen at some point. Consumer rebellion over high 3-D ticket prices plays a role, and the novelty of putting on the funny glasses is wearing off, analysts say. But there is also a deeper problem: [...]

Dear George Lucas, nobody liked The Phantom Menace when it was in 2D and hit theaters in 1999, so I don’t know why you feel the need to jazzercise it up with some of that newfangled 3D. But anyways, Lucasfilm just announced that Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace will have a 3D [...]

While Kit Farman’s take on what a prospective 3D version of Star Wars might not be entirely accurate, it’s safe to make the assumption that every Star Wars nerd out there is holding their collective breath in anticipation of how George Lucas is going to ruin this franchise one more time, once the inevitable 3D [...]

What is the world coming to?  Tommy Wiseau’s “The Room” is being converted to 3D for a theatrical re-release.  I’m really stumped as to why anyone would think this is a good idea.  It’s a mystery as to how the 2003 cult movie (that’s being generous) even became a phenomenon in the first place.  You [...]

Werner Herzog’s new film will be the 3D documentary, Cave of Forgotten Dreams, about the 30,000-year-old drawings recently discovered in the Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc cave in southern France.  He was inspired to make the documentary after reading Judith Thurman’s 2008 piece in the New Yorker. Since Chauvet’s discovery in 1994, access has been extremely restricted due to concerns [...]

Like most Japanese technology breakthroughs, the intentions of touchable holograms seems to benefit the pornography industry.  [via]
