What?! I might have 6 dead active glasses, most of which I haven't used in years.

I received a rather mysterious package today with no markings of where it came from. Inside was a copy of ROBOT MONSTER. Had no idea who sent this to me. When I looked a week ago, Amazon wasn't promising delivery for another month. Turns out, it was Amazon who sent the copy. Guess they...

I suppose mine will be canceled too after its release date has been pushed back several times (now Sept-Oct). I didn't want to pay more than $24 for it (the best preorder price I got on Amazon) and I now have to think about whether I really want to pay $10 more with shipping and tax to order it...

I have to agree with Camps on this one. This just sounds highly, highly unlikely. I haven't seen the post in question. I don't know how reliable the source is on this information. It almost sounds like someone is trolling the 3D fanbase and trying to spark flames. There are so many holes...

Doing the same thing right now. I read they won't charge you until the ship date.

David, Announced here: https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/threads/bvhe-press-release-avatar-the-way-of-water-4k-uhd-3d-blu-ray-blu-ray-and-avatar-4k-uhd-blu-ray.379434/#post-5234519 Amazon already has a placeholder for U.S. customers, but being Disney, I don't know how reliable Amazon...

Robert, Is it going to become a display you are really going to use outside of your main home theater room? I ask because while I would definitely opt for the 5.1, it's going to be more expensive as you have to purchase individual speakers. I have a soundbar (Sonos), but it's in my living...

From the major studios? The only thing I am aware of is Avatar and Avatar 2. I don't think any of the majors are releasing anything to 3D anymore here in the U.S. Universal didn't even release the conversion of JAWS it did for theatrical last year. However, as always, there are a wealth of...

I just did a quick search on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/s?k=active+shutter+3d+glasses&crid=2PPB87PA2FRGC&sprefix=active+shutter+%2Caps%2C77&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_15 The prices don't seem horribly unreasonable. On par with what I paid years ago at the height of the format. Unless there...

It was well worth modifying my Oppo 3D player just to get SAMMY THE TURTLE on 3D. Though not a great film by itself, it does offer one of the most amazing out-of-screen 3D experiences I have seen. I often use it for demo purposes.

Thanks for explaining that to the Jurassic forum where the dinosaurs congregate ;)

List updated for the first time in three years

Yes, thank you. And I take it that's forthcoming?

I am thinking of the wrong movie then, Bob. What was the film with the alien wearing the astronaut hat coming out of the cave with the bubbles? I think THAT is the film you had recently obtained rights to -- but then again, this is all from a foggy recollection.

I don't want to start a rumor if not true, but didn't 3-D Archive recently obtain the rights to this title and add it to their upcoming release schedule?

That's the problem with most of the classic 3D fare out of the 50s and 60s. "Shlock" is the perfect way to describe those films. THE BUBBLE, THE MAZE, PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (to name a few) And in the 70s and 80s, revivals such as DYNASTY and TREASURE OF THE FOUR CROWNS were so bad I...

Interesting article about the status of 3D displays https://www.makeuseof.com/will-3d-films-tvs-make-a-comeback/ Glasses-free displays are mentioned, but the big problem with them is that I have seen nothing that convinces me that forward projection of an image is impossible without wearing...

It is, John. One of my favorite 3D titles

I couldn't get past the first 10 minutes of SHOGUN WOMEN. Just horrible, in my opinion. However, happy to have supported the release through a purchase.

I have basically stopped unless someone really recommends something they think belongs on the Top 20 list and then I will buy and look at it. ...but it really has to be outstanding 3D at this point as most everything that has been coming out has been pretty good, but not worthy of putting on...

Tiny Giants was fun. Great 3D! I think I reviewed it.

It would be a pointless waste of energy. A few trickles of releases from the studios here and there don't mean much of anything. If you look at the amount of domestic 3D releases from the studios, say 7 years ago compared to today, it's just plain sad. I think it has also been reported that...

I think I have been giving this speech ad nauseum and while I am certainly not an expert on what the future will bring, I think most will agree on the present status of the 3D format... I have been one of the biggest advocates for 3D since its inception. I absolutely love the format. If I...

No, just simply disagree with me. That's all.

Anthony, I share your pain. Don't think Avatar 2 is going to jump-start the 3D industry, though. yes, it will come out on the format because Cameron will push for it and the release will be the "exception" to the "rule." No matter how much audiences will be WoW'd by the 3D, it's still not...

Todid, Well put. I don’t see the Avatar sequels pushing the market to start producing 3D displays again but as has been suggested, it could push Disney to hold its nose and release both films to 3D disc.

Josh, just to make certain my opinion was not taken the wrong way… I never said it was a bad model. In fact, I think it’s great fans can support future releases through Kickstarter. I was just pointing out that it is a sign of a dwindling market.

I agree. Boutique labels are the solution to getting these titles out that the studios don’t want to deal with on their own. I can’t speak for 3-D Film Archive as far as how their sales have increased/decreased over the years. It seems to me that when you have to rely on kickstarter funding...

You shouldn’t take issue with that. Yes, kudos to people like Bob Furmanek and his team that continue to put out these 3D classics. But let’s look at this realistically… We, as collectors have always been in the minority. We may seem like a large presence on the Internet, but when accounting...
