Nobody thinks that 3D with glasses is the future. I’ve already talked about it here and here, so I won’t repeat myself.

The technology is still too archaic. Not everyone wants to wear plastic glasses just to watch a movie. Many people complain of headaches afterward. Not to mention that your eyesight has to be good in order for the effect to reach it's full potential. As an example, I have an Uncle who is nearly blind in one eye. No 3D for him. What *is* clear is that the movie theater industry is dying. "Home theater" and DVD are eating up cinemas like Godzilla on Tokyo. First "digital" theaters were supposed to be the savior of the industry and now it's 3D. I read an interesting article a while back (it may have even been posted here, I can't recall) about how DVD and home theater have replaced the drive-in experience of the 70's and 80's. Hollywood needs to wake up and smell the roses. It's time to begin looking at alternate distribution methods (PPV, streaming, etc.) if they plan to survive. Not to mention making movies that don't suck. Interestingly, the CAPTCHA phrase I have to enter before this post will be submitted reads "rattled theater."
