Random Rant: 3-D films
After reading this article on Slate Magazine's website, I had to get this rant out of my system.
I have always said that the 3-D gimmick comes and goes. It has been a around since the 1830s where it first appeared as stereoscopic photography (which later beame used in the wonderful 'view master') and the first 3-D films were around at the start of the 20th century. Interest in 3-D films has always been cyclical, with boom periods in the 1920's, the 1950's (including Dial M For Murder and Kiss Me Kate), the 1980's (including Friday the 13th Part III and Jaws 3), the early 2000's (with films like Spy Kids 3) and again now, with films like Avatar and Glee: The 3D Concert Movie. Even George Lucas is re-editing Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to be re-released in 3-D, with the plan to do the other films if Episode I does well.
It is amazing that despite the numerous years that 3-D has existed, the technology really hasnt changed much. The viewer has always been required to wear glasses of some sort. Sure, the technology used in the glasses has changed from red and blue lenses to polarized lenses, but the end result is still the same: you wear glasses to trick the brain into seeing a three dimensional image.
With declining consumer interest and plummeting box office sales, 3-D will disappear by 2015 unless it is developed is into a holodeck...

31 Jokes for NERDS! Hank tells some seriously nerdy jokes. Harry Potter, theoretical physics, Star Trek, Star Wars, Chemistry, Engineering, Philosophy, Math, Computer Science...it's all fair game.
