Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 27, 2018

3-D has already come back, and you really didn’t even know it

Now you can look at the world through red and green tinted glass, eh Snoopy!

Not a fan of 3D movies. It’s one thing to look at stereoscopic photographs with special glasses to appear to render them in three dimensions. But when I watch a movie I don’t want to have to put anything on to be able to enjoy the movie to it’s fullest.

Good Greif! Holographic Peanuts!

It did, too. Only now they call it Imax.

I have some clip ons to put over my regular glasses for different standards of 3D, but it seems that every time there’s a movie in 3D, it’s not one that I want to watch anyway.

Call me when they have holographic movies ready to go.

I never really liked 3D to begin with.

what was Linus looking for in the grass before he found the glasses?

I’ve tried watching 3D a couple of times. It gives me a headache. I haven’t tried the so-called “active 3D” glasses though, only the kind that use different colored filters.

But thanx to Nintendo, we have 3D that need no glasses.

My life is already in 3D. Don’t even need the glasses.

Well it’s back. I’ve been less than impressed. We always ask for the 2D. Version whenever possible.

Here’s Joe Cool, hanging out, watching the chicks go by… in 3D!

When I got my first big screen TV in 2011 I bought a 3D system. Didn’t use it a LOT, but it did work (and it’s not using the RED-BLUE method). Then, a couple of years ago when I got my new glasses I bought the ones I did because they came with 3 filters specifically designed for the frames — yellow, polarized, and 3D. I figured the 3D for these glasses would work better than having to put the 3D glasses over my own.

Then, 2 days later, my TV expired. I had a 5 year warranty — this was year 6.

Actually, it did.

I have a 55" LG 3-D TV and about 300 3-D movies. I have rarely enjoyed anything as much. People who visit, love to watch and actually beg me to put on the Avengers movies, or any of the theatrical releases I’ve got. I don’t understand why some people don’t like modern 3-d which is without eye-strain, headaches, and doesn’t use blu-green glasses—only light polaroids. The kids love “Wizard of Oz” and all the great animated movies, adults love the adventure/ science fiction-fantasy movies. They are so much more exciting in 3-D—so much more involving than 2-D. If you don’t like it, o.k. for you, but you’re missing some wonderful stuff!

Sadly, 3D movies are much more expensive than the 2D kind. It’s worse if they constantly make use of that “paddleball” effect where they get the audience to jump from objects flying at the camera, and if you watch it on cable TV, you’ll never get that feeling.
