I hate 3D movies

Over the past decade, we’ve seen the exponentially grown of films released in 3D technology.Growth that culminated with the release of James Cameron's flick Avatar.
 
Now we have reached the point where ˝good or bad˝ all the films are shot in 3D, or are subsequently in post-production turned into this kind of movie genre, if you can talk about movie genre.
And it was not invented this year.Yeah, cause 3D movies are not an invention of today, but of 80 years ago, the first 3D movies have been filmed and screened back in 1922 (The Power of Love). But we can say that the early works are really some bad efforts of 3D technology, some quality 3D movies have been done in 1950. But due to the high costs, poor quality and only a few theaters capable of showing this type of film, 3D has remained a niche cinema until the '80s. Just in the second half 'of the '80s with the advent of IMAX, and with the collaboration of Disney and Universal we can speak of a massive use of 3D, even if it was not used for films, but for tourist attractions and for fascinate the children  in the amusement parks of Disney. From 1980 to 2000, the 3D has always remained a bit aloof, but things were about to change.

In 2003, James Cameron releases the first real movie shot entirely in 3D technology, Ghost of the Abyss, and many others have followed. So today it has become a problem to find a ˝ordinary movie˝, that means those films in 2D we used to see before Avatar. It is obvious that I’m not a big fan of 3D, well maybe because I have to wear those stupid glasses, and it is very uncomfortable to put on 3D glasses when you already wear your own. According to the 3D movies that we are watching this days in theaters, is not that it is the ultimate generation of quality to be honest, and it makes me a headache. I prefer the old-fashioned cinema in high definition.

3D movie in the last 10 years

V zadnjem desetletju, smo videli eksponentno rast filmov posnetih v 3D tehnologiji.
Rast ki je imela svoj vrhunec  z izidom filma Jamesa Camerona,  Avatar.
 
Zdaj smo dosegli točko, kjer več ali manj je večinoma filmov posnetih v 3D tehnologiji, ali so jih nato v postprodukciji spremenili v takšno zvrst. Če seveda lahko govorimo o tem da je 3D žanr. In ne glede na vse 3D tehnike niso izumli letos. Ja, 3D-filmi niso izum današnjega časa, ampak imajo svoje korenine že kar v daljnem letu 1922, kjer so bili storjeni prvi poskusi snemanja v 3D tehniki (The Power of Love). Vendar pa lahko rečemo, da so zgodnji poskusi snemanja v 3D bili bolj ali manj porazni. Kakovost se je krepko izboljšala leta 1950, toda zaradi visokih stroškov, slabe tehnologije in dejstvo da le nekatera gledališča so lahko predvajale v 3D, so filmi posneti v 3D ostali v ozadju kino produkcije do 80-ih. Samo v drugi polovici 80-ih s prihodom IMAX-a, in v sodelovanju z Disney in Universal lahko govorimo o množični uporabi 3D tehnike, tudi če ni bila uporabljena za filme, ampak za turistične zanimivosti in zato da očara otroke v zabaviščno tematskih parkih Disneya. Od leta 1980 do 2000, je 3D še vedno ostal zgolj tržna niša nizko proračunskih produkciji, vendar stvari so se kmalu spremenile.

Leta 2003 je James Cameron javnosti predstavil prvi pravi v celoti posnet film v 3D tehnologiji, Ghost of the Abyss, in temu filmu so sledili mnogi drugi. Torej, danes je postal kar resen problem najti ˝navadne˝ filme, kar pomeni, filmi v 2D kakršne smo bili vajeni videti pred Avatarjem. Očitno je, da nisem velik oboževalec 3D tehnologije, morda zato ker sem moral nositi tista neumna očala, kar je zelo neprijetno če imaš že svoja.
Po 3D-kino predstavah, ki sem jih gledal v zadnjih dveh letih, moram priznati da me je slaba kakovost posnetkov kar presenetila in če sem  pošten, mi 3D povzroča glavobole.
Raje kot 3D, oldschool movies v visoki ločljivosti.

Stephen King Top 10

Stephen King
Also this year, as every year, the magazine Entertainment Weekly publishes the 2010 top 10 favorite movies of Stephen King. Even this year Stephen King has shown that he knows ˝something˝ about movies, but let’s see his ranking:

 









 

1.       Let Me In (Horror)
2.       The Town (Action - Thriller)
3.       Inception (Action)
4.       The Social Network (Biography – Drama)
5.       Takers (Action – Crime)
6.       KickAss (Action – Comedy)
7.       Splice (Drama – Sci-Fi)
8.       Monsters (Sci-Fi – Drama)
9.       Jackass 3D (Jackass)
10.   Green Zone (Action – Drama)



Obviously the first place is a horror movie, and I can go with this. But that Splice is in seventh place and The Social Network flick is in fourth leaves me rather perplexed. I do not think that these movies are for any charts.

Stephen King Top 10

Stephen King
Tudi letos, kot vsako leto, je revija Entertainment Weekly objavlja Top 10 najljubših filmov  Stephena Kinga za leto 2010. Tudi letos je Stephen King pokazal, da ima vsaj ˝nekaj znanja˝  o filmih, pa da vidimo njegovo razvrstitev:














1.        Let Me In (Horror)
2.       The Town (Action - Thriller)
3.       Inception (Action)
4.       The Social Network (Biography – Drama)
5.       Takers (Action – Crime)
6.       KickAss (Action – Comedy)
7.       Splice (Drama – Sci-Fi)
8.       Monsters (Sci-Fi – Drama)
9.       Jackass 3D (Jackass)
10.   Green Zone (Action – Drama)

Očitno je bilo, da se bo na prvem mestu  znašla grozljivka, kar ni niti tako napačno. Ampak to da je  Splice  na sedmem mestu in Social Network na četrtem me zapusti kar nekoliko razočaranega. Ne verjamem, da so ti filmi za kakršnokoli lestvico.
