Stop it. Just... just stop it. 3D does not really enhance the experience as much as Hollywood thinks it does, seriously after the first twenty minutes you barely even notice it anymore. But it's not their fault, people keep paying for it so why stop making it? Speaking of greedy. George Lucas. Holy hell another Star Wars reissuing? I love Star Wars, love the shit out of it, but I want people to leave it alone even, if not especially, George Lucas. I'm sure he didn't actively pursue this 3D re-re-re-release, it was probably something some douchey exec at Lucasfilm suggested and he figured "Hey why not suck some more money out of this franchise?" But for the love of God, stop messing with Star Wars. It was great the way it was (the original trilogy anyway, the prequels are a completely different rant) The biggest problem is I know they are going to suck more in 3D because they weren't intended to be shown in 3D. What a lot of people don't realize is that the reason some movies look great in 3D and others look like shit is because the ones that look great were filmed with special cameras built specifically for 3D movies. Taking a movie that already existed and then adapting it to 3D is what makes shitty 3D movies like Clash of the Titans (although the poor 3D was by far not the only thing wrong with that movie) Even Avatar (which is also another rant altogether) was filmed originally with IMAX cameras but after the success of Disney's Up every douche in Hollywood decided to make the conversion to 3D, so they went back and updated the footage of several movies that were already well into production.
I guess it was really only a matter of time before they had to go back and have their way with Star Wars again, hell maybe I'll see the original trilogy again so I can get the movie theater experience. But if they announce the 3D re-releasing of Indiana Jones I'm burning down Skywalker Ranch. (That was an empty threat, police)
