Not so crazy about those 3D goggles!

Oh heck! I was hoping they would pack their bags and move in... Come on over, the party is at my house!

Wow, I am invited to the slumber party of the century. Remind me to shop for some cool glow-in-the-dark moon and stars.... ...oh, and my PJs too.

I hope Russel Crowe and Mel Gibson won't feel too much at home with you in your living room, and propose a slumber party!

Edward's fangless??! I think I need to go see his dentist to ascertain that. I hate being inaccurate with my observations! Or does it only show that I'm not an avid twilighter?

Yes, Edward is fang-less. It's one of the things that "real vampire fans" complain about. "He doesn't have fangs, he eats animals, and he SPARKLES IN SUNSHINE! Vampires DO NOT sparkle!" I hear complaints like that all the time. I don't really care. I hate vampires. Twilight's a mutant love of mine.

at everything you said. I agree, the Cullens are not the typical vampires that is why they're special among the hearts of many twilighters. So what if they puncture their victim's skins with their gums and not fangs, right? Although I get suddenly conscious of the softness of my gums by thinking of it that way.

No, I enjoyed the movies, but I'm not a huge fan or anything.

I see...

You can take them [3D], and leave them [Twilight]. So I guess you are not a Twilighter!

The new 3D glasses just about fit over normal glasses. The old red/blue lenses in a cardboard frame didn't without some modification.

As I experienced so far, I put the 3D goggles over my specs because normal eyesight just wouldn't do. With Avatar, I didn't notice the inconveniences much of having to wear those alien goggles because the movie was so great. But I guess I would have loved the 2D version just the same.

Can they fit over glasses, I'd often wondered that? I agree with most people in this discussion that 3D is a way of making people part with more cash and the technology - as far as I know, has a long way to go. There are even 3D televisions coming out! Ready for the World Cup I shouldn't wonder. When a footy match was screened in 3D recently (in a few selected Pubs around the country) I thought it was weird seeing grown men wear silly, black glasses. I can't see that catching on..I hope it doesn't catch on. We haven't even bought a conventional HDTV and Sky+ HD box yet, still on basic digital. I don't want 3D to complicate things although everything HD is now coming down in price...needs to as well!

Although I am staging a protest against those goggles, I am actually not closing my doors for them. So far though there's a lot to complain about as far as those 3D glasses are concerned. For the meantime, I'm sticking to 2D.

I can cite some reasons why the 3D is here to stay despite the protests that the...um....let me count...more or less 7, of us, are staging. First, we comprise the minority. Second, they gain more income that way. Before, usual prices for movies here would range at 75-80 pesos (more or less 2 dollars), now they're at 150 to 200. That's like twice the price!

I feel sorry for you as I feel the same way for myself. Before, I used to complain at the unnecessary cold of the airconditioning, now it's coupled with headaches, and irritated eyes.

The first 3D movie I saw was "A christmas carol" and it was my Aunt's treat. Back then, I didn't really get any headache. Maybe there is a connection between the amount of money you spent and the resulting headache after watching!

No, you don't necessarily have to purchase the goggles. You buy your movie tickets and they will lend the goggles to you and after that, you give it back. You don't take those thingies at home. The movie is also created in a different format so that if you remove the goggles, some of the images will appear blurred which will only clear up once you put on those goggles. Oh go try it out and see if you would like them. If you won't, then we will be sharing the same sentiments about it. I do hope you still would like them
