I know this will sound hard to believe and you’ll think I’ve been living in a cave the past few years, but up until two weeks ago, I had not seen one of those new 3-D movies. Yeah, I saw them back in the day when the 3-D glasses consisted of cardboard with one red lens and one green lens.<\/p>\n
The quality of those movies was so poor that you actually took the glasses off and watched the movie blur and all. But I guess with extreme technical improvements, 3-D movies have gotten to the point where it may soon be the only way to watch films.<\/p>\n
The fact that Avatar <\/I>has made more than $2 billion worldwide is proof of that. Nearly everyone I know had already seen it, some of them multiple times, and they could not stop raving about how good the 3-D effects were. That still didn’t motivate me to go see it.<\/p>\n
A couple of weeks ago my wife’s two 9-year-old nephews came into town with their dad. I’ve written about these two before and they make Dennis the Menace look like an altar boy. Actually, they’ve grown up a bit and aren’t as rambunctious as they used to be.<\/p>\n
They’re both cute boys and they like hanging out with me. The other weekend I volunteered to take them to see The Green Hornet <\/I>in 3-D, solo. They loved the idea, as they had not seen it and it would give me the chance to get my virgin technology 3-D experience.<\/p>\n
I was amazed at the 3-D glasses we were given, as they were quality plastic and if it was the ’80s, you could wear them to a nightclub or the beach. I was kind of caught up in it and donned the glasses before the movie even started.<\/p>\n
People were finding their seats when some 3-D movie previews came on. I was blown away by the effect and put my outstretched hand out to “grab” some of those objects. One preview had a group of people in it and I swear there was a woman standing right in front of me. I reached out to grab her.<\/p>\n
It was actually a real woman who was passing in front of me to get to her seat. She let out a loud squelch and the two boys screamed in laughter. The next thing I know, I had non-3-D popcorn flying at my head. Hey, you sure can’t get that experience on a DVD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
