They belong on Tie o’ the Day #1, I tell you. (Tie is from Penguin.) This is where 3-D glasses belong. Where they are a pain is on your face–“exspecially” if you already wear glasses. Maybe some optic genius can come up with 3-D contacts or extended release eyedrops for the masses.
There exists an episode of the tv series Medium for which wearing 3-D glasses is worth the annoyance. And I wholeheartedly recommend it. But that’s about the extent of any pleasure I’ve gotten out of going down the 3-D glasses road.
My worst 3-D movie-going experience was Jaws 3-D, with Dennis Quaid. The plot was stoooopid, and it made no sense even in its own insular stoooopid plot world. Wearing the cardboard glasses, did absolutely nothing to clear/clean up the picture on the screen. 😎
