Capitalism coming to a theater near you!
When CD sales dropped, music companies tried to blame everyone else and started a huge campaign to sue everyone that they could, and intimidate the rest. Theater sales dropped, and movie studios are trying to make better movies. I really like movie studios!!!
It looks like they are going to try going back to 3D movies to get our butts back in the seats. I remember watching 3D movies with my dad at the theater a long time ago with the crazy blue and red paper glasses that I never wanted to throw away, and I remember seeing some a long while later that had the polarized glasses that I didn't understand. I remember the second type being a whole lot cooler. This is apparently the future of movie theaters across the country. Pixar is going to release all of it's 2009 movies in 3D and Lucas is going to remaster Star Wars (again) for 3D.
What really excites me is that if studios are going to try this hard to help movie theaters make the change to 3D, it will be no time at all before I can start watching 3D at my house. Now THAT is friggin cool. Some people are estimating only another 4 or 5 years, so I'm thinking 5-8, but that would still be killer. I won't even be "over the hill."
I'd definitely go to a 3D theater, although not as often as I used to go to see 2D pictures, but mostly because I have a family now that would cost over $100 just to watch a movie. I think that's the real problem, though, not that we don't like movies, or that we'd rather watch them at home because now we all have big screens and projectors. It's the convenience as our families grow and our wallets shrink. That and all the a-holes that want to go out to the theater just to go do something and be stupid, instead of actually wanting to watch a movie on a 100ft screen with surround sound and high fidelity. At least I won't have to deal with them when I can watch 3D at home.
