If that's the case just don't even bother commenting. As to your post, just because money is being spent on 3D and the films are being made doesn't mean it isn't a gimmick. It's an awful comparison. It doesn't change the fact that I don't want to see it, and who is it that isn't going to make anything but 3D films from now on? The big three animation houses? Big freakin deal? Oh boy, animation in 3D, there's a novel idea. Geez Jim, if you are going to keep dropping in and plugging your site and then taking off it really doesn't say much about your opinion.

The visuals get the most focus and the rest gets left behind a bit. Sometimes it seems to be going the same way as the games industry.

All I know, if 3D is the future of cinema, I dont want to have any part of it. 3D is completely unnecessary for a truly good film, and certainly cant save a bad one. Leave 3D for the theme parks, let filmmakers focus of making their films truly great. Would 3D make <i>the Godfather</i> any better? Maybe add a little zip to <i>Ben-Hur</i>? Hell no. Truly great movies dont need to rely on a GIMMICK like 3D to be great. Someone who runs a 3D movie site and is obviously a fan of 3D is naturally going to say its not a gimmick.

So have at it. Its time to get over the whole gimmick thing. I think it is a crutch that many writers use when they just don't have anything to say. Create some tension as it were. That just puts me to sleep. The big three animation houses are putting NOTHING BUT 3D movies out from now on. Thats huge. Cameron has a $250m budget for Avatar (my estimate) - thats huge. He and Spielberg, Peter Jackson and Tim Burton will carry the torch - and others are signing on rapidly. Look at all the upcoming 3D movies on my site MarketSaw (seriously, this ain't a plug - just check how many there ARE) and tell me that its a gimmick! Sooner or later you are gonna be the only ones left saying the world is flat... -jim FYI guys – Avatar and most likely The Dive will also be available in 2D. So have at it.

But, I think 3D ruins a movie. I think once something gets put out, its put out. THEN make the 3D version, so us who dont prefer 3D dont have to sit through that shit! Honestly, good point.
