Everything’s Coming Up 3-D

3-D White House
White House / Pete Souza

Et tu, Barack?: President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama wear 3-D glasses at a Super Bowl party at the White House last Feb. 1.

Although 3-D technology has been around so long that it almost seems quaint, it’s still the Next Big Thing, in a sense, in the entertainment industry, as even television manufacturers are chomping at the bit to get in on the action. What’s more, “Avatar” director and technological innovator James Cameron is apparently willing to overlook his dislike of converting 2-D movies into 3-D for the noble cause of bringing his own “Titanic” back to theaters with an added dimension.  —KA

“The Big PIcture” in The Los Angeles Times:

But in Hollywood, money talks. The recent 3-D grosses have been so astounding that everyone is pushing the 3-D button. Not only are a host of sequels getting the 3-D treatment, like “Happy Feet 2” and “Friday the 13th Part 2,” but Paramount is even moving ahead with a 3-D version of “Jackass.” I guess it was an obvious question—would Cameron dip back into his library and start his own 3-D conversions? And, surprisingly, considering his tough words, the answer is yes. As he told USA Today, “We’re targeting the spring of 2012 for the release [of a 3-D version of ‘Titanic’], which is the 100-year anniversary of the sailing of the ship.”

This is a very good article that gives in-depth information. The Indonesia men’s team has participated in the Thomas Cup 23 times, won the title 13 times and never failed to qualify. Indonesia has played in the illydecisive final qualifying round on 18 occasions and never failed to place among the top four. Thanks for sharing

However, they are not meant for everyone - espec

I hoping that 3-D will not go so far as having this be the only format for television available.  3-D is cool for occasional entertainment.  Beyond that, I would feel concern.

It is nice to see that 3-D movies are making a comeback.  I used to go to them when I was a little kid.  A couple of years ago, I saw Beowulf in 3-D and it was really neat.  This was the first 3-D movie I saw in a long time.

HD provides us with the sharper images of the garbage and now 3D is going to make it three-dimensional. Long live technology!!!
