The 3-D Scam

[thewayne]

Roger Ebert has a wonderful article about how much a scam 3-D is. Very good read, and the last paragraph about Disney really sucks: "Disney recently announced it will make no more traditional films at all, focusing entirely on animation, franchises, and superheroes." Animation = 3-D = surcharge = more profit!

I'm writing a letter to my local theater chain saying that I'm boycotting 3-D movies.

I don't see them unless it happens to be a movie I really want to see in the first place. Most of the time, it's just a snippet in 3-D, which makes for some nice sequences, but that's it.
