Unintended Consequences


While regular readers of this blog know how I feel about the overuse of 3-D by the film industry....There's always reason to make exception...

James Cameron told Vanity Fair that "Piranha 3D" is an example of "what we should not be doing in 3-D. Because it just cheapens the medium and reminds you of the bad 3-D horror films from the 70s and 80s"

Really? You gotta be kidding me!! Forgetting that it's because of the success of your bloated film
Avatar that filmmakers and the suits feel the need to turn every flick into a 3-D wannabe...You are now are gonna judge others efforts that are not making 4 hr blue epics because it "cheapens the medium" So what? What's the matter with a 70's/80's throwback anyway? I think some may argue that 3-D has already ruined the film medium...

That said I hope they make a hundred Piranha a 3-D sequels
