pink_vegan and I went to see Alice in Wonderland last night. I enjoyed it very much! Totally entertaining.

HOWEVER.

3D is so annoying. It's so awkward to wear the glasses when you're already wearing glasses - mine kept sliding down and pinching my nose, so I felt like I couldn't breathe properly. I ended up holding them up for the first bit, and then I just gave up and took them off entirely. Somewhat fuzzy, but much less frustrating. And on top of that, I find 3D is distracting, and takes me out of the movie. So no more 3D for me.

That's why I don't watch 3D movies. Gah! So Annoying!

They really need to make adhesive films for glasses, or something.

the glasses thing is not a problem for me -- yet. but 3D totally gives me a headache.

all through the olympics i was seeing ads for 3D tv. DO NOT WANT.

I don't really GET the 3D thing, unless that is the point, but it's actually interactive, like you get squirted with water from the screen. :)

Indeed. It's OK but I predict it's a fad.

I was thinking little cases that slip overtop, or maybe something that has ties to attach to my already existing glasses arms. Anything, really, if they're going to go so 3D crazy.

3Dtv: Oh god, I know!

I also had a headache at the end, although that could have also been from watching 3D without the glasses for part of it.

That too. 3D random crowd scenes? Why?

I hope so!

I also predict (and hope!) that it's a fad, and will soon only be used for plotless action movies or really-only-going-to-apply-to-hyperactive-8-year-olds kids' movies. Too many annoyed adults.

Oh isn't it just? 3D annoying, I mean. I haven't seen Alice in Wonderland. Nor have I read it, either. As much as I could ever grasp was that it involved a young girl who drank an hallucinagenic and everybody ended up really small and made of playing cards... Very wrong, I expect, but I never liked anything based on fantasy, which is probably why I never liked cuddly toys or dolls, either.

But anyway, yes, 3D is awful. I have an astigmatism and night blindness due to a weird issue with my pupils not converging properly (I also have two pupils that react at different rates to light, which, I'm told, would suggest brain damage should I ever be in a car crash and unable to confirm that it's just me and I'm usually weird that way), all of which means I cannot see properly through the glasses, and it's actually easier to watch it without. As long as it doesn't get to the point where we have to pay *more* to watch a non-3D version, I'll cope.

Glad you enjoyed the film despite it all, though. :)

I was reading that a bunch of movies have retroactively 3D'd themselves, because of the popularity right now. Crazy!

Maybe there'll be enough of us complaining about 3D that someone will listen. :)
