    Stephen DH: I myself came to enjoy and appreciate Avatar on repeated viewings, but your rundown of all its "stories" made me laugh out loud.

    Most respectfully, the term "base view" is not incorrect.

    The Invisible Man + The Creature from the Black Lagoon Blu Ray Legacy Sets coming 8/28

    I just prepped my disc for HMD viewing. I can tell you that the base view for this disc is the right eye. The only other film in my collection with a right-eye base view is GOG. All other 3-D films I have encountered have had a left-eye base view. I cannot yet comment on picture quality, but I...

    The Invisible Man + The Creature from the Black Lagoon Blu Ray Legacy Sets coming 8/28

    Add my name to the list of those receiving their replacement disc via FedEx. I got a text message Tuesday, November 6th, alerting me to a FedEx delivery.

    3D Third Dimensional Murder short on TCM

    I used to own an anaglyphic print of Third Dimensional Murder in Super 8. I showed it at work one year for our office Halloween party. I thought people would be impressed to see a 3-D film from so long ago, but most folks reacted with polite but subdued enthusiasm. The film suffers from too...

    3D Meet Bob Furmanek: HTF Golden Age 3-D Consultant

    One hallmark of classic Hollywood cinema is its glamour. Character, conflict and plot might be stronger or weaker from one film to the next, but the elements of mise en scène-- sets, costumes, lighting and photography, and not least the personal beauty and charm of the featured players--...
