Kamen Rider W THE MOVIE 3D?

[MrMonk]

Agreed. It doesnt mean to jump on board right now, it takes time. Especially with the horrid tv prices. But I think ppl will got HD before 3D.

Again, the only complainers I see are those who cannot afford the actual ****....

Bravo, I guess?

It's not there. The tech is simply not there. There is not enough benefit for the financial expenditure. The reasons are right posted above. If you want I can link to those at Engadget, Wired, Gizmodo, and others who agree. They certainly don't have to worry about money. As I'm certain many of us do not. (I'm assuming that the median age on the board is slightly higher than 20)

That's not even going into the fact that while 62% of Americans now own and HDTV, only half of that number actually watch HD programming on it. UK? 56% on an HDTV, but a staggering 91% only watch standard def content. Blu-Ray? 7% of Americans own a Blu-Ray player. 9% own a PS3. The PS3 & Blu-Ray came out in 2006. HDTV was 2001-2002? The only reason so many people own an HDTV is they cheap and everywhere.

There's a difference between throwing money away, and spending it on worthwhile tech. 3D television in the home, as it stands, is not worthwhile tech. It's not cheap, there aren't any universal standards, and frankly, it's mostly a gimmick to squeeze out a bit more money. It has a few more applications in gaming and movie theatres (how can use tech relying on those cheap little cardboard polarized glasses), but that's the best torchbearer they got.

That sounds like a pretty damned legitimate complaint to me, especially when money seems to be tight for most people.

You sound like the same idiots back in the VHS era. Get over it. Jesus.

Hardly. As someone else said before, VHS is a storage medium, not a visual medium. 2D and 3D are entirely different kinds of visual palettes and I am just not interested in the latter AT ALL. Aside from just being annoyed with the downfalls of the technology, it's less accessible and just generally a headache in more ways than one.

A more apt comparison would be comparing the difference between 2D and 3D films to the one between black and white and color films. Even after color film came into wide use, black and white films were still made and using the medium was a very intentional stylistic choice in most cases. People still make black and white films to this day, even using digital video, an extremely cheap and accessible COLOR format, so it's not just because black and white film is cheaper anymore (and it's actually more expensive than color film now, I believe). They are different styles and mediums, not entirely different paradigms. To call me an idiot for disliking 3D in favor of 2D is like calling me an idiot for preferring to paint with watercolor instead of acrylic and frankly as a filmmaker (and an artist) I very much resent that.

I'm gonna make some enemies with this one, but...

If films could have been made with color from the beginning, black and white films would have never existed. B&W films, people pining for video game franchises to return to 2D...all of this drives me *insane*.

....All that having been said?

Until the glasses exit the picture, 3DTV is merely the great white hope for TV manufacturers.

This. Nobody wants to put on some multi-colored glasses for what amounts to nothing more than illusionary BS.

Arguable. If there had never been another option, sure, it's possible but moviegoers were initially slow to accept the advent of color. Black and white films still remained very popular and mainstream for years after the Technicolor Eastman Color processes started coming into use.

Also, black and white is the ****. So yes, you are blacklisted. <3

Wait. The topic went kinda derailed. :sweat:

 

[Daikamonohashi]

I regret nothing!

 

[KuroGAOH]

Can't wait for it.

Hitchcock and Desilu productions got me to the black and white films.

Unfortunately, I move on like everyone else.

By the way Shougo where can I find a larger ver. of your neat-o avatar? :anime:

This is the best pic I have of that Ranger Strike card -- I messed with the coloring when making it an avatar, though.

People forget this, but a lot of early color processes looked like butt. Early on in the days of color film, there were tons of color processes competing with each other. Technicolor won out during the sixties (iirc), but even early versions of Technicolor didn't work quite right. And you films made with screwy color palettes well into the 70s.

Bro, I'm mind fucking with you. Do you really think I care how or what you watch?.

You guys take me seriously WAY too much and that's not a good thing.

If Keith were like that I would have been banned after throwing KFC at his house and running naked only wearing a KKK kowl at his house.

Wait. The topic went kinda derailed. :sweat:

:laugh:

I don't know, by the time I can afford a 3D tv they will release 4D, and by the time I can afford that they'll release 5D, which will be suits that can actually put you in the movie, but then by that time the machines will rise up and turn us all to Cybermen anyways.

seriously though, I'd rather watch my movies in HD without anything on my face.

To defend the 3DTV ****... the glasses are NOT uncomfortable at all. The only thing uncomfortable is the price.

I'll eventually get one. But once the price dips BIG time.
