Familyhood
“Actual life, which is already in 3-D, they’re not as enthralled with. But to see something on a screen that aspires to simulate actual life? They’ve never been happier.
To my mind, 3-D is one D more than necessary. I don’t recall ever seeing a movie and thinking, “If only this movie had one more dimension! I just feel too confined by mere width and height. I’m hankering for depth.” It’s never been an issue.
But the makers of these movies prey on our insatiable appetite for more. More depth, mor...e volume, more sensation, more of a movie experience.
“Detail so vivid,” they boast, “it’s like you’re right there!”
You know what I say? “I don’t want to be there! I want to be here! You be there. That’s your job. You be the movie, I’ll be the guy watching the movie. From here.”
Remember when people used to say, “There’s no there there?” Well, now it’s worse; now there’s no here here. It’s all about taking you there.
I appreciate the novelty of these technological accomplishments; I just don’t see the appeal.MoreLess
