"Why I Hate 3D movies"

[Steve-O]

Ebert's article in Newsweek (http://www.newsweek.com/id/237110) is spot on.

He should also mention:

If you wear glasses under the 3D glasses forget it. The 3D effect never looks right.

If you're blind in one eye forget it. Enjoy the blurry film.

3D TV is coming and I've seen a number of demos for it. Keep an air sick bag near the couch. Don't try looking away from the screen and back... ugh. They are selling the TV's hard and converting a number of TV shows to fake 3d. Don't be fooled. It's horrible and fake looking. Sports like baseball make the depth of the field look OK, but every time there is an edit or camera change it takes a second for your eyes to adjust to the image. Fast action and quick edits will not look 3D.

3D in film noir wasn't a big hit either:

I will admit that both Dial M for Murder and Inferno (http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/37198) are great films... and Rhonda Fleming is perfect for both Technicolor and 3D

What crap.
Ebert is spot off.
He'd be much happier if he closed one eye while watching standard flat movies from now on.

There are perfectly good rebuttals to each and every "point" Ebert thinks he is making.

Is he worth arguing with?
I don't know.
I have to keep the blood pressure down

It's just another tool in the filmmakers kit! Not every film will be shot in 3D, relax Roger, the sky is not going to fall!!
