Not denying that.. But a turd with bling is still a turd.

I'll ask this. Apart from Avatar, which earned almost 2/3rds of it's income from 3d showings, how many films have done well based purely on their 3d showings?

Anyway, it may appear I am attacking 3d. I am not. I like 3d films. I just think that if hollywood keeps using it as a gimmick to bolster films they don't think will do well by converting them at the last minute, it will ultimately fail because people will be disillusioned with the films produced.

James Cameron would seem to agree.

“After Toy Story, there were 10 really bad CG movies because everybody thought the success of that film was CG and not great characters that were beautifully designed and heartwarming,” Avatar’s James Cameron told me recently. "Now, you’ve got people quickly converting movies from 2D to 3D, which is not what we did. They’re expecting the same result, when in fact they will probably work against the adoption of 3D because they’ll be putting out an inferior product.”
