Some 3D is better than others. Some cinematography/sets etc don't really lend themselves well to the effect, and honestly, I don't know why they try to force the format on those(!) Well, I do, lol. So they can say "Ooooh, look! It's 3D!" and charge the big bucks. (Alice in Wonderland was a total waste of 3D imo.) The most memorable use of it, for me, was very small and subtle. In Coraline, there is a feather that floats out. It was EVERYTHING I COULD DO not to reach out for it. It was RIGHT THERE!!!

Do love me the old-school 3D glasses! They used to have this Halloween thing on an art walk at a place where they taught kids to use color to 3D effect. Sure, I'd don the glasses and look at those paintings... then waahhh! wooooh! Lights, you name it, I'd be lolling my head all over the place and giggling.

I'm sorry it gives you a big headache, Anika -- that sucks! (I can't handle strobe lights. At all. They totally unhinge me.)

So speaking of optical illusions and stuff... what do you all think about those Magic Eye pics that were so popular awhile back? (I could NEVER see them! Which is weird, because I can look at a popcorn ceiling and see a million pictures!)
