What’s the big deal with 3D entertainment?

The entertainment industry’s push for 3D in 2009 leaves me bewildered.  It has always been a gimmick, but Hollywood wants to make us believe that it is the future.  What do you think?

A lot of animated movies were released in 3D this year, and of those my family saw, we opted for the 2D version.   My kids simply do not like the 3D experience.  They don’t like things jumping out at you as a cheap effect.  And they don’t like the glasses… nobody does.

Check out the reaction from this failed 3D experiment at a recent Cowboys NFL game.  The promoters, for some idiotic reason, thought that fans AT the game, ALREADY viewing it in natural 3D, wants to watch the game on the jumbotron in 3D!  This had some retarded Cowboys fans saying things like, “It’s like I’m really there.”  Um… you ARE really there!  Just look down at the field.

Here’s the video:

Just google “cowboys 3d stadium”

Now this, on the other hand, is very cool!  Johnny Lee hacked his Wii to create 3D optics on his television without the use of filters or glasses!  Check this out:

Two years old, I know… but well done!
