Sir: I was only expressing my opinion, which I tried to do in a respectful way, without getting personal. If I dug in my heals, then it was because I thought I was right. I could say the same thing about you, because you were equally tenacious. Your diligence has paid off and you've convinced...

Mr. Krupp: I respect your knowledge of Technicolor and your opinions, but just for fun, I'm going to get super nit-picky and point out what seems to me to be an inconsistency in your position on two-strip Technicolor. As I understand it, you claim that it should be the number of strips of...

I stand corrected on the publication date of Richard Haines book, it was 1993, as you said. Thanks for pointing out that error. Why his DOB was included with the publication information I don't know, but I admit that didn't read it carefully. I was out of high school by 1957 when Haines was...

Well, I'm nit-picking, but it was still two separate strips of film stuck together and the cement didn't work most of the time, the cement broke down under the arc light and the strips separated so often that Technicolor gave it a name, they called it "cupping". Cupping was so bad when they...

OLDTIMER: Yes, Technicolor Process one was an additive two-color system, which was both photographed and projected from a single strip of film, so it was indeed a single-strip, two-color process and not a two-strip process. However, from a broader perspective, Process One was a total failure...

I saw Follow Thru on the UCLA campus, more than 30 years ago, right after UCLA restored it. But, in my opinion, outdoor scenes just didn't work in two-strip Technicolor, the sky was not blue in Follow Thru when I saw the restoration, it was a washed out gray. At least, that's how it looked...

Not only was White Christmas the first film photographed in VistaVision, but it was printed horizontally to be shown with a special VistaVision projector on a large screen in 1954 at the Radio City Music Hall. I remember reading an article about this showing in Popular Science magazine in 1954...

I have a number of field-sequential 3D DVDs and one F-S 3D VHS tape that was made for use with shutter glasses and NTSC CRT TV sets before 3D HDTV sets were available. Also, I still have the shutter glasses and controller box required to make the process work. However, I don't have the...

I'm 78, I'm in good health, and I've had both shots of the Moderna vaccine, the second shot was three weeks ago. The first shot had very little effect on me, my arm was sore for a day and that was it. But, the second shot knocked the **** out of me, it was like being kicked by a mule. I had...

Regarding Billy Gray, I remember reading in a Houston newspaper that Billy Gray had been arrested for the possession of marihuana. This was either in the late fifties, or the early sixties. Pot is not heroin--- all I'm saying is, Billy Gray wasn't completely unacquainted with the drug scene...

A little over six minutes of the film is available on YOUTUBE as a 3-D anaglyph at the time of this writing. The two-color 3-D anaglyph is excellent and the image has better contrast than the full length flat version on YOUTUBE . The film has been re-edited to look like a flashback, showing...

I guess Dick missed the part of my comment where I said "when I stream 3-D movies directly to my 60 inch 3DTV the quality of the picture and sound is indistinguishable from playing a new 3D Blu-ray disk" (this is a direct quote from my initial comment). When I said the streaming picture is...

a 3D Blu-ray disk is fine if you want to own the movie, but I don't want to own most of the 3-D movies they make today, because to me they aren't worth the cost of buying the disk . Most of the new releases cost between $20 and $40 for the Blu-ray disk, but I can rent the movie in 3-D from a...

You've piqued my interest, it sounds like you know more than you're saying. Are you at liberty to say whose "good hands" the film is in? Are you hinting that it may be released on DVD or Blu-ray in the original anaglyph format? Will it have English subtitles? I haven't given a thought to...

I sympathize with our moderator, who is doing his job and trying to keep this heard of cats on topic. The problem is, the answer to the question "How To Distinguish Discrete Blu-Ray Discs From Anaglyph" is too simple to make an interesting discussion, so we keep drifting off topic. People have...

That's a great story and your interpretation of what's going on is entirely valid. I've suspected that 3-D is still included in many sets myself, even though it's no longer mentioned on the box. That's because frame sequential 3-D is so cheap to include in a digital TV that there's really no...

Any movie that was originally shown in polarized 3-D (old or new) can be converted to the anaglyph format and released on a DVD in anaglyphic 3-D. This makes it cheaper to produce, because it's unnecessary to use a 3-D Blu-ray disk. This lowers the quality of the 3-D image, but it gives the DVD...

I'm sorry to report that I had to give up on 3DGO. They seemed helpful when I first reported the problem, but that was nearly a month ago and I've never had a follow-up email from them. The last message from 3DGO said they were aware of an app issue that only affected certain models of...

This is just a quick update about my re-linking problem with the 3DGO app. The problem is not solved yet, but 3DGO's tech support is working on it with Samsung and I'll give a full report explaining what the problem was when it gets fixed. 3DGO has a first-class tech support and customer...

John, thanks for the helpful comments you made about your positive experience with 3DGO tech support. Because of that, I've decided that I can't complain about 3DGO without giving them a chance to respond to my problem and hopefully solve it. Therefore, I intend to email 3DGO and report back...

THE SAGA ENDS (FINALLY!): This will be the last rant about my problems with the 3DGO app, because I'm throwing in the towel. After going through the long and tedious process of re-registering and re-linking the 3DGO app to my TV for the third time last night, I decided to rent one more 3-D...

I just read your comment, which must have been posted while I was writing my complaints about 3DGO. I did try again today with the same result. I can only assume, that all the trouble I've been having with the need to constantly re-register and re-link has something to do with the Samsung...

FOLLOW-UP TO MY HONDO/ 3DGO REVIEW FROM YESTERDAY: I decided to give 3DGO another chance today and rent another 3-D movie. After all, I could have caused the problem myself and I don't want to bad-mouth a new 3-D site, unless I know for sure what I'm talking about. I wish I could give 3DGO a...

Thanks Peter, I'm familiar with the 3-D Film Archive web site, it's my favorite web site for historically accurate 3-D information and for the latest news about the restoration of classic 3-D films. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in 3-D film. I'm also a big fan of Bob Furmanek and...

After reading how badly Josh and some other folks on here want to see Hondo in 3-D, I realized how lucky I am to have access to the 3DGO app on my Samsung 3DTV, so I decided it was finally time to sign up at 3DGO and watch Hondo. This is my report on the experience: I don't know if Hondo has...

Josh, thanks for clarifying this point. All this time, I thought you were only looking for a way to get streaming 3-D content to your 3D projector with an app. I didn't think the app was important, because I didn't realize that your actual motivation was seeing just one particular 3-D movie...

Josh, I was proposing the VUDU app as an alternative to the 3DGO app for streaming 3-D content to your 3-D projector, because the VUDU app is already available on inexpensive 3D Blu-ray players such as my Samsung. As for 3-D content, I haven't found anything of significance on 3DGO that's not...

Josh, if you want 3D apps for your Epson 3D projector, then why not just plug a Smart 3D Blu-ray player into the HDMI port of the projector. My 3D Blu-ray player with built-in Wi-Fi came with several 3D apps installed. One of the apps is VUDU, which had 173 new release 3-D movies ready for...

You make an excellent point Josh, there is no perfect 3-D system today and each person will have to decide which compromise suits them best. It's hard to believe, but 3-D technology hasn't changed significantly in the sixty years that I've been taking and projecting stereo slides and 3-D film...
