A weekend ago, mythical girlfriend and I talked about possibly going out to see a movie.\u00a0 We knew what we had in mind, but what lied ahead of us was the dubious task of finding a theater within reasonable distance, and a showing time that could accommodate us grabbing a quick bite to eat without keeping us out too late, as mythical girlfriend\u2019s schedule has work on the weekends.<\/span><\/p>\n Needless to say, while combing through Fandango we didn\u2019t find many options that fit our criteria without it being just beyond the realm of leisurely capability, or nowhere near any viable dining options.\u00a0 And every single time we found a showing that might work, at a location that had some decent grub nearby, it turned out that it was a 3D showing.<\/span><\/p>\n We then entered a conversation about how really, we both didn\u2019t like 3D films, because one, they\u2019re absurdly more expensive than regular films, and two, the necessity to wear glasses is a pain in the ass, and for people like me who already wear glasses, the idea of stacking on a second pair just to watch a film is not very appealing.\u00a0 We agreed that the only reason we end up watching 3D films at all, is because either their showings are at times that are convenient to our agendas, or we\u2019re amidst a group that, again found the time to be convenient, or actually likes 3D films, and group mentality dictates going with the flow.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But if the scenario presented itself in which 3D and standard films were shown at the same time, we would go with the standard film.<\/span><\/p>\n And then we didn\u2019t go see any movie at all, because making decisions is hard.<\/span><\/p>\n I then took the query to social media, and I asked theFacebook if they actually liked 3D movies, or if they only saw them occasionally because the showing times were convenient.\u00a0 And to no surprise, the overwhelming majority of people who responded stated exactly my own sentiments; they\u2019re either ambivalent or against them, but if the timing is convenient, they\u2019ll still watch.<\/span><\/p>\n Which leads me to conclude that 3D movies are pretty much garbage, and that the idea that they\u2019re actually popular or successful is a farce, spawning from the fact that theaters like to stagger the showing times, and it\u2019s kind of like the most popular times are slated for 3D viewings, so that theater patrons have to shell out the extra money to watch it in 3D when they\u2019d probably rather watch it in standard.\u00a0 One friend stated something that I was amused by, and would likely agree with, that I\u2019d frankly rather pay extra\u00a0to avoid<\/em>\u00a0the 3D aspect, than to be stuck with it; that\u2019s how much 3D sucks.<\/span><\/p>\n But because people are more or less duped, deceived and pigeon-holed into going to 3D movies, the entire 3D camp is still making boatloads of profit, even though there are plenty of people who don\u2019t actually like them.\u00a0 Unfortunately, because they\u2019re making profit, 3D movies will continue to be a thing, because greedy people exist, and they endlessly continue to want more money.<\/span><\/p>\n Seriously, 3D is shit, absolute shit.\u00a0 I don\u2019t care if films are filmed in 3D or are retroactively remastered to appear to be in 3D, when the day is over, I don\u2019t want to have to wear glasses in order to enjoy a movie.\u00a0 What the fuck for?\u00a0 So that something can appear to pop out of the screen, as if Scarlett Johansson\u2019s boobs could be heaved into the third dimension, and I could cop a feel? \u00a0Fuck no.<\/span><\/p>\n Instead, we get\u00a0shit like<\/a>\u00a0Silent Hill: Revelations 3D<\/em>; yes, the 3D is part of the title, which is almost as bad as that Piss2 game called \u201cBig Mother Truckers Only $19.99<\/em>\u201d that basically said \u201cwe suck\u201d in the title itself, much like SH:Revelations 3D does.\u00a0 So in instances like this, 3D is the only option, and as someone who wants to be social, I still watch it, and the extent of 3D features throughout this shitty film is the ashy snow emerging in 3D, and one scene where the now-face turned Pyramid Head flings his gigantic blade at the viewer, and it comes soaring at your eyeballs.\u00a0 Whoopdie-frickin-doo!<\/span><\/p>\n 3D movies suck.\u00a0 This is where I\u2019d want to declare that I\u2019ll never go see another 3D movie again on principle, but there\u2019s no way I\u2019d be able to hold true to that.\u00a0 I\u2019m far too willing to go with the flow, and all it\u2019s going to take is one film that a convenient time, or a group activity to see a film in 3D that\u2019ll get me to watch another one.\u00a0 But otherwise, if I have the choice in my own viewing endeavors, I\u2019m avoiding 3D flicks like white people avoid riding MARTA.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A weekend ago, mythical girlfriend and I talked about possibly going out to see a movie.\u00a0 We knew what we had in mind, but what lied ahead of us was the dubious task of finding a theater within reasonable distance, and a showing time that could accommodate us grabbing a quick bite to eat without … Continue reading I hate 3D movies<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45,41,15,25],"class_list":["post-42293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-brog","tag-fail","tag-movies","tag-og","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=42293"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42295,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42293\/revisions\/42295"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=42293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=42293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/totfc.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=42293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
